Now that Mandalore made a video on 40K Mechanicus can we have a thread of all warhammer-related vidya?

Emprah is a fucking corpse, who cares what he thinks. Besides, Imperium got AdMech to praise the Emprah as the "Omnissiah" despite the fact that they're actually praising he void dragon inside Mars

Everyone hates the Dark Mechanicus cause they're heretic fucks.
Regular Mechanicus on the other hand, tough shit, the Imperium can't function without them.

If he did he never mentioned it because his empire would crumble without the mechanicus, and except for titans they don't praise tech as gods they praise the omnissiah and keep the machine spirits from being cantankerous

The imperium should fall apart because its failed at the emperors true goal.

And do what? He's a fucking skeleton and they keep the entire empire running.

>tfw fucking nothing about Dark Mechanicus

Somehow even more incompetent considering how outdated CSM equipment is and the most they've seemingly managed to do is stick the odd demon into a Land Raider. Where's my gun that shoots concentrated damned souls at loyalists?

Did they change arc scourges to no longer be counted as melee weapons or did Mandalore just miss that?

The machine spirits were created in the peak of humanity's highly advanced civilization. they're most likely AIs but not what we think of as AIs, they're more animalistic and not full blown sentient. the book priests of mars actually has a pretty cool sequence where a tech priest communicates with one.

He doesn't need to consume anything. Imperium is just shoving psykers into a furnace to keep their psychic lighthouse going

Man internet sucks i want the noosphere

The Mechanicus was well established long before the emperor's crusade, they even had their own empire before signing up with the Imperium of Man

The Void Dragon is the Emperors bitch pokemon tho.

Why would the Emperor need to save Lion's order? They were quite capable chaos demon killers unlike Angrons bitch slaves.

Poor Angron got irremediably fucked before he could even have a chance.

He could have been fixed by the emperor but his legion was the bottom of the barrel and fixing him wouldn't help his track record.

Most primarchs ended up on death worlds or worse, most Primarchs ended up rulers of said death worlds by the time Emps arrived. Angron ended up as he started. As a slave. Emps should have just teleported him back down and virus bombed him for the failure he is.

I honestly fucking dig the concept of the Admech

The Emperor wanted their expertise in tech and made a deal (read: threatened them with exterminatus) with them to serve the Imperium as a quasi independent administration, and in doing so led to them worshipping him as an aspect of the Omnissiah, which is the pokemon the Emperor sealed in Mars a long time ago.

Hereteks and Dark Mechanicus decided that the Chaos Gods are the true aspects of the Omnissiah instead, and somehow are able to keep the more affluent traitor legions supplied with weapons, ammo and daemon engines, sometimes even bringing titans to the field.

We all know orks are superior mechanics

>The Emperor wanted their expertise in tech and made a deal
The Emperor essentially created the Cult Mechanicus in order to use them when he went to conquer the galaxy

Yes.

So what's the deal with orkz in 40k?
They look out of place compared to chaos, imperium, necros and eldar.

Ewwwww

did the game got harder with recents patches or my friend who bought it yesterday and could get pass the 2nd mission is just a brainlet?

I just bought it and it doesn't have this
youtube.com/watch?v=yBEUwkvNbks

Also, with the nu galaxy can't I launch games without the overlay tracking faggotry? Can I turn it off or do I have to download the exe from the site?
In my headcannon the omnissiah isn't an actual entity but more like the personification of all human ingenuity.

I haven't even played the game but I'm gonna go with the latter.

I just realized after all that time, that this is supposed to mean "I don't give a damn"

Orks are bioweapons created alongside the Eldar by the Old Ones to fight against the Necrons and C'tan, but the Old Ones lost and went extinct before they could perfect the Orks. They're a pest at worst, but a galactic threat at their most dangerous, to the extent they had weaponized moons, human farms and diplomats eloquent enough to break the High Lords of Terra with words alone.

>human farms
For what purpose

is Lord Mandalore /ourguy/?

food and slaves

For a second there I was worried they were like human farms in Rance.

Descendants or remnants or waste of an incomplete self reproductive superweapon used to battle a great foe. The creator died before completely shuting it off.

Old ones created them as a personal army to fight neurons. They programmed em really well but forgot to implement a fail safe.
They love for fighting and that's it. Their hierarchy is whoever punches the hardest. Their bio engineering also does 3 major things.
>they act like fungus when killed, releasing thousands of spores each which if allowed to grow morph into fully grown boys ready to fight
>some orks are born with specific knowledge ingrained in them. For example one boy will be born and already know how to put pieces together to make a truck.
>each work is a latent psychic with this power based on belief. If they pick up a broken gun and believe it can shoot, it will shoot. When many orks are together this culminates in a huge surge of psychic power called a waaaagh which basically turns all nearby orks into a dnd berserker.

Flesh is weak and disgusting. Only the certainty of steel for the Omnisiahs chosen.

>than the Admech needs the Imperium
You think Abaddon will just ignore Mars when he comes for Terra?

In what sense do you mean 'what's the deal'?
They're half-completed super soldiers made by the Old Ones who dies before they could finish the 'psychic mind control' function to actually order the armies around. So what's left is a rouge race of war loving, hardy mix of an animal and a fungi that reproduce asexually using spores (which was a countermeasure to necrons glassing planets).
They're also (by human theory) all low level psykers and their tech (and other parts of their societies) only works because of their combined belief that they do work.
Or just read 1d4chan.org/wiki/Ork

It's also worth saying that the "humans" on the farms were heavily mutated by waaagh energy into the cattle the orks saw them as

The Ork's human farms were much more brutal than ARCHFIEND JILL's considering that Jill only bred enough humans to disable the Hero's sword and slaughtered the rest, while the Orks' human farms likely numbered in the billions that lived like actual cattle that the Iron Warriors, some of the most grizzled and jaded warriors in the galaxy, were disgusted and considered putting them out of their misery as a mercy.

Dawn of War 1, Battlefleet Gothic and Mechanicus

Have you read the red waagh campaign books? Imperial guard and knights vs orks is the main focus and its fucking amazing.

And Space Marine

Also spacemarine

Forgot about SM. Also if you like old games Chaos Gate and Vengance of the Blood Angels are also good picks

SPEAK UP YA GIT
ACT PROPPA ORKY OR OI'LL KRUMP YA GOOD

To be a little fair, oldcrons were kept in as the Destroyer cult with a never ending goal of purging all life.

Though I see the main issue nucrons have is that they have no cohesion at all; each of the phaerons and overlords want to do different things like rebuild their empires, enslave other races or resume fighting among themselves. The Silent King should just come back and unite the Necrons against the Tyranids so they have potential flesh bodies to return to and not barren rocks stripped of all life.

But user, wouldn't that make the necrons the de facto good guys of 40k?

ZOG YOU, GIT.

Protecting the meatbags from getting eaten doesn't mean they care about their wellbeing, just so that they have subjects to enslave and experiment on for their potential resurrection.

this. books 1-4 are pretty well received. some of my favorite personally. Fulgrim is pretty good. has a girl killing a guy as he nuts and mixing the various fluids into paints. Mark of Calth or is it betrayal at calth? cant remember. Angel Exterminatus is a decent read. the books that have 5 or so short stories usually have a few good gems. Thousand Sons and Prospero Burns for Magnus and his fuck ups.

Its a turn based tactical, dumbshit. Better?

Warhammer underworld is based on the side board game of the same name and it's actually really good and has a nicely sized player base. I'm just waiting on them to release more teams.

But I'd like other games, like a spacemarine equivalent where you play a storm cast in one of tzeentch silver towers, or a resident evil 2 re style game where you play a witch hunter in a dead town full of nagash's minions while a necropolis stalker hunts you mr x style. A soul caliber like fighting game, age of mythology like rts. Sooo many different ideas right there.

The Chaos DLC in Battlefleet Gothic Armada 2 was pretty decent.

A standalone game featuring the average life of a Chaos Marine would be pretty nice though.

No idea, but I wouldn't expect for more. It's a pretty decent game as long as you fiddle around with the difficulty a bit. It starts kinda hard and gets trivial very fast.

Mars became autonomous long before the emperor started doing shit. The mechanicus believed him to be the very god they worship due to how much beautiful and powerful technology he shits out
Mars was so powerful that the emperor added martian autonomy in the conditions for joining the imperium. They can do whatever they wish as long as they provide military gear and not pursue artificial intelligence

Aren't the Tau getting fucked up right now?

Yes. Mortarion got his eye on them.

I think nucrons are alright but that's because their role as mindless murder machines that exist to purge all life was kind of infringed on by tyranids. There's potential for nucrons

Elaborate.
What all has happened in the last year or two, overall?

They thought not turning the other cheek was a good idea

I'm not the most versed in the current timeline but basically
Abaddon broke Cadia, created a warp rift that split the Imperium in two
Magnus fucked up shit at Fenris, with enough sacrifices was able to bring the planet of sorcerers from the Eye to real space
Mortarion fought against Guilliman, pushed him back, defiled loads of worlds and is now infecting into Tau area

Oh also in the Eye Corax fucked up Lorgar forcing him to run like a bitch. But that's what Lorgar does.

The Tau figured out how to create Warpdrive cores to outfit their Fifth Sphere Expansion. Unfortunately they neglected to implement gellar fields. After getting buttfucked by daemons on their maiden voyage, they land smack dab in the middle of the Scourge Stars which is Death Guard territory.

TTS reference

Don't forget the Fourth Sphere survivors who survived Warp travel and have now gone full Imperium.

>However nearby Imperial worlds were rapidly colonized with a violent eagerness on the part of the former commanders of the Fourth that saw mass purges uncharacteristic of the Tau. Prisoners were massacred and Auxiliaries were intentionally sacrificed in battle. The Massacre of the Dul'un Lakes and the Eight Days of Infamy are the most famous episodes from this controversy. Eventually, Shadowsun and the Ethereal Council disciplined the Fourth Sphere commanders with a ritual punishment known as the Malk'la before they were returned to the ranks or sent back to the empire for re-assimilation. After a massacre and bloody Kroot uprising upon the colony of Ky'san, all auxiliaries were removed from contingents of Fourth Sphere Tau.

As the story line is now Guilliman is going to come and save them or some gay shit.

>They're on the way, and so are the Imperials and Genestealer cults.
First Sunny, in her new spanking suit and with curves finally proving that female Tau do have a sexual dimorphism (and it's glorious) has to deal with walking bio-hazards, she'll probably get to fight Primaris Shrike and Kor'sarro. Also in case of Stealer Cults...hoping there will be Tau Cultists too. Would've been very interesting if Genestealer Cults were expanded to include stuff other than humans.

I'd gladly see him doing a Dark Heresy RPG with a lot of noir stuff.

That is a very hard question to answer, its why his followers are generally the hardest to write about. I remember in the Night Lords trilogy, when Talos is being tempted by the four chaos gods, when Nurgle comes around he just straight says "You will never join me" and leaves it at that.

Nurlge's "blessing" works like ransomware. He unleashes a plague on an unsuspecting populace and offers relief from the agony and despair if they sell their souls.

Why do people even worship chaos? Who looks at this guy's chest tentacles and thinks they want some of that?

Need a 40k movie directed by 30 years younger Paul Verhoeven.

The primordial truth is very convincing. And an extremely devout chaos follower would probably say that the Warp is a mirror, merely reflecting what is already there on the outside, any mutation being not a random thing but a deliberate blessing from the warp.

I would imagine it would only appeal to those that are extremely, and I mean EXTREMELY lazy.

>that knowledge was destroyed or forgotten during the huge fuck up known as slaanesh's birth
Didn't that happen during the war against the men of iron?

Watch event horizon to find out

If The Emperor Had a Text-To-Speech Device. It's a kind of weird lore/comedy hybrid series by a Swedish madlad named Alfabusa and it's actually pretty good.

I dunno, It seems like most mutations are negative. I don't want tastebuds in my large intestine or a foot that screams at passers by. Do they have ones that are actually good?

>a foot that screams at passers by
That sounds absolutely lovey user what the fuck

The war against the men of iron was happening at the same time, in fact their rebellion was most likely caused by the warp fuckery going on. It was this combo that caused the age of strife

He's not a good writer

(You)

Isn't he the only chaos god that actually sort of cares about his worshippers and loves them in his own twisted way? I also don't think they feel any pain or discomfort so the whole decay thing is not a bothering them. That's what I gathered from these threads over the years.

Yeah, that's what I got from his lore. He has his own mansion in the warp and sometimes will just chill in a chair on the porch, he'll even chat with passersby.

So what happens when awakening reaches 100?

Gameplay wise, it's wonkily balanced, with an early game wall and then difficulty starts to free fall once you get the ball rolling.
However, it's carried by exemplary presentation. The art, sounds and music are all great, and the dialogue/flavor blurb writing is palatable enough that "Get in, loot/purge every piece of xenotech you find" doesn't feel quite as dull.
For comparison, xcom2 is likewise a simplified game that hinges on its presentation but I like Mechanicus' better.

THE FIRST

I really liked it, one of the few games I'm actually going to go back and replay on a harder difficulty.
The start is hard but the game rapidly gets easier as you figure out how to make busted good tech priests, to the point that the end game is so easy that its funny, at least on the default difficulty.
The music and sound are absolutely godlike, the game looks good and the game has significantly more depth than a game like xcom while removing most of the most annoying mechanics.
Its definitely the best 40k game since Space Marine and well worth a buy.

What happens when awakening reaches 100 in mechanicus?

Humanity had fully sentient AI's back then.
The machine spirits are a fucky compromise.

game over i think

You fuck off and lose the game.

Higher awakening increases difficulty when it reaches 100% the only mission you can do is the final tomb and see the ending. But you can reach the final mission waaaaay before you get 100 awakening tho.

You wake up from your coma in the real world

>Humanity had fully sentient AI's back then.
And that was not a good thing

Because the first thing that will happen is media complaining about toxic masculinity and far right association

They still have it and use it in war according to the new Lion Horus heresy novel the dark angels have Men of Iron as slave warriors to use against psykers.

Not all.
They had ships that can dab on almost any other races ships.
Which are still the same ships the Imperium are running but better cause it functions at full capacity.
Like the Esperanza or that one Pre-Imperium ship that destroyed an entire fleet cause they killer her Captain when he told him that all their ideas and beliefs are fucking stupid.

I'm Scottish and I was referring to vidya

>Esperanza
Are you talking about the Speranza Ark Mechanicus because that one is a AI pretending to be a ship cogitator. The golden age ship that fucked off after they offed it's captain had no name.

>the game has significantly more depth than a game like xcom
I wouldn't have said that honestly. You've more freedom in how you customize your soldiers and you pack more usables per tech-priest, but they amputated the base building, the map exploration is token, and the absence of things like fog of war hinder the tactical aspect.
Being free from the horrible 2 action point system more than makes up for it to me, I agree, but that doesn't make it deeper- just significantly more snowball-combo-based.

Wasn't the AI highly susceptible to Chaos, or am I missremembering (I might be confusing it with Mutant Chronicles)

meant to put an 'or" in there.

That's the the Castigator titan AI that made a pact with chaos.

Of course they did, but they also had this weird ass animalistic AI that wasn't fully sentient that basically inhabited their star ships, vehicles, buildings etc.

>tfw no noise marine game
no wubcannons either, we rock as men

No it's just that AI is entirely logical so it arrives at logical conclusion that to eradicate Chaos which is completely illogical is to exterminate all sentient life that fuels Chaos, therefore logic can once again reign supreme.
Then if it's in AI's directive it can proceed to test biological breeding until only warp-nulls humans can be born, in case that creators of that AI are humans.

Then you got fucking Curze clawing his way through fucking adamantium as an even younger baby just to get some man-meat.

Noise marines don't do wub wub like in DoW2. They output high frequency static that shatters steel not music.

>they amputated the base building, the map exploration is token, and the absence of things like fog of war hinder the tactical aspect
The only thing there that really added any depth was the fog of war and that is somewhat simulated by the reinforcements suddenly appearing.
The game also has a lot more going on in turns of how you can equip your units and just has a wider variety of units in general. Simply put, you have more options in a battle.

Not really. Maps having proper line of sights and cover SHOULD make a small unit tactics game deeper- it's just undermined by xcom's trash LOS, trash maps, and pod system.
Base building is just reskinned tech trees, but tech trees are worthwhile. Getting most of your gear in the room gacha feels like shit for progression and so does basic gear being tied to mission rewards. The economy made the game deeper by virtue of choice in where you spent your resources- here you just dump your priests along towards their god skill and call it a day.
Your turns simultaneously have more and less things going on. Positioning only matters for melee and body blocking, there is no difference between point blank and max range, there is no proper way to break LOS, the AI is dumb as a brick and aggro is extremely basic. The game is significantly more based on combos instead, but in spite of that these are for the most part very straightforward. I'd say the real additions of Mechanicus are that the awakening meter shits on xcom's timer.

He isn't even that special anymore according to this

Lets be honest, in Xcom base building was “Do it right or die”, rather thanbeing able to do anything creative the extremely unforgiving early game cemented doing only what gets you the strongest the fastest. Map Exploration was also gutted in Nu-com, in 1 there’s very little to get except meld with the expansion, and with 2 in every mission except “Kill the dude” your exploration is limited to the shortest line between you and the objective due to the timer.

You can get more slots later in the game, not sure if you regain access to "locked" slots though

Imagine being this guy. Is there a worse fate for a soldier than this shit. That's why AdMech is the most creepy shit in 40k.

every sicarian infiltrator was once a warrior of the skitarii who in the pursuance of the cult mechanicus' agenda, was blasted limb from limb, extensively burned or otherwise dismembered. During the data-harvest at a battle's end, if these fallen are judged still fit to serve the omnissiah they are not incinerated but instead taken back to the augmetic slabs. There they are given a new lease on life by the addition of slender but powerful metal limbs. All the magi biologis need to create a sicarian is a head, a torso and some limb stumps.

Long ago, the universe was ruled by frogs. These were known as the Old Ones, aka Da Brainboyz. One day, they got into a disagreement with some metal emo Egyptians and their fart cloud gods and decided to settle it in smash. So they bioengineered a race and have them their own little gestalt warp bullshit powers that aren’t actually warp powers, but got pwned before they could complete the control mechanism. So these sons of frogs went about fighting on their own terms. That race’s name? Da Krorks.

yeah they don't have sex, they release spores and just grow

It's barely depicted in the lore, but a great part of Chaos followers would be considered "moderates". They most likely seek chaos blessings in the same way people pray to God today, like a man praying to Nurgle for health or a soldier praying to Khorne to find courage in a coming battle. These people aren't significant enough in the eyes of the Chaos gods to warrant physical corruption or even mental corruption. Of course, these cases aren't spectacular enough to get a mention in the books.

FREE MY NIGGAS THE SQUATS

Yes, but their alliance is critical to the continued existence of the empire, so the Admech and the empire have handwaved it as "well, the god-emperor is sustained by machines so let's just say he IS the machine spirit" so the mechanicus can keep their beliefs but still pretend they give a shit about the emperor whenever inquisitors come knocking.

Really, they are too important to the empire to pick a fight with them over the specifics, as long as they pay lip service

I liked how the only character with an uncovered mouth has a Judge Dredd-tier frown.

Orks get bigga the more fightin there is, and more advanced the bigger the WAAAGH! is. The War in Heaven was a lot more intense than even the 41st millineum, and even a more contemporary rallying and advancement of the Ork race such as The Beast’s WAAAGH! paled in comparison to the Krork. When shit really hits the fan maybe we’ll see them reach those levels but until then we’ll get our silly fighty boyz. Though recent lore makes it seem like Maggy himself is well on his way there

He's the most religious one of the bunch always on the lookout for tech heretics among the magos.

It makes sense, really. In a world where data is as corrupted and knowledge is as fragile as theirs, you do whatever gets that shit working. Hell, I'm a software engineer and I could easily describe part of my job as "performing rituals in hopes of placating the machine spirits"

Sorry, I goofed, they pay lip service to the idea that the life-sipport emperor is the omnissaiah, not the machine spirit.

both sides know the "Emperor as Omnissiah" thing is kinda full of shit but it wouldn't be very productive for each go to war with their closest and most useful allies even if their core beliefs are incompatible so they just don't think about it too hard and leave it at that

Instead of curing you, he twists your mind so that the illness feels good to you. You feel soothed by the plague and you like it so much you decide you want to share it with everyone. And Nurgle is happy that his family has grown even bigger.

You fuck up a mission and are surrounded by the enemy. You are about to be absolutely fucked and suddenly these guys show up and curb stomp the enemy and saving your ass.
Yeah.

I had a idea to make a warhammer 40k gatcha phone game. Wonder how hard it will be to get the 40k licence

lucky you I suppose

ah, Same idea. I think you need to lean less into the "big tiddy wife" and more into "my dude's are cooler" idea of 40k. Someone that's really into world eaters would whale just as hard for kharn as someone would whale for there anime wife

lol Tau sound even more stuck up then Eldar

The Tau were meant to be bullied.

Chaos are chumps

Tau are absolute retards

It's because the Tau's immense sense of self-superiority isn't tainted by an unspoken acknowledgement that they fucked up so hard that they're now doomed to extinction.

>Tau are absolute retards
Just like all the other xenos.

Because on the galactic scale they're a miniscule force that could be wiped out in the blink of an eye by any of the big players.

For comparison: the entire Tau Empire is around 40-50 inhabited worlds. The Imperium of Man is over A MILLION. The Tau are such a small race that they are probably heavily outnumbered even by fucking Craftworld Eldar.

Liking Tau is admitting you don't like 40k and it's core ideas of grimdark.
>inb4 b-but they are grimdark now!
Yeah sure go back to building gunpla weeb.

I remember something about the Tau being unable to comprehend that there are billions inside a hive world or that shit about them celebrating after fending off one battalion of Imperial Guardsman then shit their pants at the sight of the full force coming in

Friendly reminder that:
The Tau have evolved quickly, leading to huge deficits and weaknesses in their physiology. use these facts to your advantage and you will prevail

+ Tau have hollow bones. Their limbs break easily under little applied pressure

+ Tau have poor eyesight. Anything over ten meters away is always a blur

+ Tau are frighted by fire

+ Tau are frighted by water

+ Tau are frighted by thunder

Xenos experts have discovered that tau are descended from bovine herbivores. thus they are not predators and fighting is unnatural to them

Tau have udders, short tails above the base of the spine, and they excrete enormous amount of methane gas, especially when they are stressed

They chew cud for approximately four hours a day. When involved in this disgusting habit their metabolism and reflexes slow down, making them very vulnerable to attack

Tau are herd creatures that panic easily. Their usual response to stressful situations is either wail and lie face down on the ground with their hand over their heads, or run around in circles hoping to confuse their aggressor.

In battle, the Tau are disorganized and cowardly. They fight from a distance and their poor aim makes this tactic ineffective.

To compensate for their poor eyesight, they have developed acute hearing. Their eardrums are so sensitive that if you make a large enough noise (for example, shouting the Litany of death) it causes deafness and immediate confusion.

The Tau are naturally hairless and find hirsute people unnerving

>Because on the galactic scale they're a miniscule force that could be wiped out in the blink of an eye by any of the big players.
Yeah the problem is that every in-lore attempt made by the imperium to destroy them was always averted by autistic levels of plot armor exposing the core problems with the whole faction and it's supposed "insignificant" role in the setting. When Terra gets raided by chaos legions, the Tau are fighting the Death Guard and losing only a few fringe backwater worlds to them. It's bullshit.

I don't think thick bones would protect you from the stomps of a space marine either.

>Tau have poor eyesight.

Funny thing is that this is actually true. It's why Fire Warriors with all their fancy standard-issue optics can generally only shoot as well as a Guardsman eyeballing it down his little scope.

I mean in Imperiums case they get entire chaos crusade going their way.
For Tau case a detachment of Death Guard after-party crew stumbled into their side of space.

It just means even a humble guardsman would be able to follow the example of the honorable and esteemed Cato Sicarius first captain of the based company.

Green leaf.

>only shoot as well as a Guardsman eyeballing it down his little scope
Standard issue lasguns don't even have a scope.

Space Hulk: Deathwing (Only play this if you have friends or you really like playing a horde shooter where you have to micromanage your NPC Allies)

>Warhammer
Vermintide 1 & 2
Total War: Warhammer 1 & 2

As with all of these games, only play them if you like the genre they are part of.

And the example of the Beast shows that, if left in peace for long enough, they eventually WILL develop a more sophisticated society. It seems to be the case that so-called "Brain Boys" are not extinct, but simply the attrition rate of Orks is such that, should one be born, he will be killed too soon to properly "grow up".

It's probably like doing taxes. There's theoretically a somewhat better way to handle things but what you have works, has been proven to work, and if you rock the boat things will probably get a lot worse before they have a chance to get better.

It's ok/10, I kinda liked the story too

So the chaos gods in 40k are the same as in fantasy warhammer?

It varies between artist and writer, but sometimes that little tube running along the top is depicted as a sight and sometimes it's not.

Attached: old squad box art.jpg (702x476, 73K)

Yes, what more the Fantasy chaos gods came from the 40k world according to the lore.

Read Liber Chaotica. It outright states that someone who gives himself willingly to Nurgle (and not just by becoming infected and running to Papa for help) and embodies him mind and soul, carries little to no taint upon his body. Nurgle himself is described as looking like a regular, elderly man with a kind smile and yellow eyes.

I want to play it but it's fucking $80 with all the DLC and $50 without. The only torrents I've seen are fairly old too, and I heard it sucked on release.

You're probably right, I checked my uplifting primer and optic sights are listed separately (marked: not standard) and the little tube is just part of the body casing.

>torrents
Bruh, the game is online

You'd think they'd be able to re-evolve back into krorks if they're left alone to fight amongst themselves or a fitting enemy like Leviathan without being (almost) wiped out regularly.

Fuck off waifufag.

Get it on console? It seems to be way cheaper there.

in the lore lasguns vary greatly in design from world to world, with the magazine at least being completely standard
the ryza you see here is from the older guard model line when the minis were from necromunda instead of cadia, hence the noncompliance

literally novels where the emperor said "yo what the fuck the nails are embedded so deep it would kill him if i removed them"

There is also a novel where asked if he can removed them he says yes, but why bother lol

You have to remember, user, that those are bionics, not lifeless metal. He can actually FEEL them as if he would have regular limbs.

As long as he brings back Pariahs, I will accept this.

Literally says it isn't lobotomized as hard as the Skitarii.

The latest console I have is a ps3.

You are on a hive world. Your life is shit. Everything is shit. You wake up in the morning, work for nearly 10-14 hours, eat your pitiful sludge of a meal that taste like toxin, and then go to bed. You likely get less than 30 minutes a day to relax or talk with another human being, and hopefully during that time they don't turn around and try to rob you of your already meager, garbage pay. Your future is bleak, and death is not far even if you follow the routine day in and day out.

Life is like a dull, mindless blur. You aren't allowed to be happy. That may lead to heresy, and the Arbites are cruel and merciless. You aren't allowed to aspire. That may see you dead at the will of a greedy foreman. You aren't allowed to not work. That would be refusing to assist in the Emperor's holy war.

One day, you get sick. You go to work anyways, because you have no choice. Everyone is getting sick. Your boss is sick. Your coworkers. Even the patrolling arbites are hacking up their lungs. People are dying. They are falling dead, riddled with pox and boils. You pray to the God Emperor that you will not meet a similar gruesome end, but you can't make out the words as you cough out puss and speckles of blood.

In your restless, spotted sleep, you are riddled with nightmares. A horrifying grotesque being confronts you, and while he is visibly shocking, it promises salvation, and gives you the warmest smile you have seen in your short miserable life. You wake up, and the words it spoke burn in your mind. You pray once again before your work shift, not to the Emperor, but to this new, bloated being. As you walk to work, you notice you feel a little livelier, a little happier, and the boils don't sting nearly as much.

For once in your life there is hope. You can finally live again, and maybe break from the shackles as the rest fall into decay. You don't look any better, but you feel greater than you ever have before. All that is expected of you now, is to spread the gift.

There are no bodies for them to return to. And putting thier minds into biological bodies is the worst idea in the 40k world as any flesh being without a soul(and no blanks have souls like all naturally born beings) die horrible death doubly so if they are clones.

That comparison was to tech-thralls, not Skitarii. Tech-thralls are basically backwards servitors where a human body is controlled by a machine.

acceptance of mortality and the joy of pain. to be aware of death and accept it makes you appreciate life more. even as a slaanesh fan i can see the perks of nurgle.

The majority of skitarii aren't lobotomized, they just have an override switch any magos can use

And another where one of the Thousand Sons outright states that the psyker-surgeons of Tizca would be able to remove them.

Pariahs didn't go anywhere. The writers at GW simply realised that Blanks are so rare that making even small military units out of them would be useless in large-scale warfrare. And so do the Necrons. Pariahs still exist somewhere on the fringes.

Half of this sound like mainland china for some reason

Read actual Mechanicus novels, user. The Tech-Priests, despite the stereotype, really don't like messing with brains, since they view them as sources of divine inspiration/the soul. Tinkering with human brains directly is seen as excessive and fringe.

Okay I'll bite. What's up with that cats?

So I played four missions of Mechanicus and now I want mechanical parts irl. Wat do?

Felinids are one of the Abhuman races - strains of humanity which have been accepted into the Imperium of Man. There are no canon depictions of them but, as the name suggests, they must have some feline attributes. Thus - catgirls.

>hive world
>middle class

What GW did with the Chaos Gods in 40K is unfortunate, to say the least. In times past they used to have a lot more nuance, with the Chaos Gods having straight-out positive aspects to them. Remember Colchis, Lorgar's home planet? In the good old days, pre Horus Heresy novels, his planet was one such place, where much benign and positive aspects of the Chaos Gods were worshipped.

Nurgle, for instance, was the god of the circle of life - life, death and rebirth. His servants could straight up heal wounds and diseases.

You might think this is crazy, but the the majority of a hive world's society is middle class.

Attached: 1565900112992.png (296x231, 102K)

they're horny. horny for bolters.

Because it is a mental and physical distraction for beings that only reproduce via harvesting the Gene Seed of their fallen to be implanted in the next batch?

Because the emps was a homo?

Who knows?

40k basically has cat girls in it. Felinids are abhumans who are the progeny of humans who spliced some of their dna with cats to survive during the Age of Strife

They don't have any Canon depictions but yeah naw cat girls.

Yes, middle classes, user. I don't know how many fluff sources need to describe this, but the higher you live in a hive world, the better job you have and the better the living conditions.

If there is one thing that the Eisenhorn/Ravenor and Ciphas Cain novels did right, is portraying that the average Imperial citizen's life is not much different from our own.

Think of it like this: the Imperium has around a million inhabited worlds, not counting moons, space stations, asteroid fields etc. Even if there's a war raging on 10,000 of them at the same time (which is an astronomical number), and another 20,000 are affected by said wars, that still leaves hundreds of thousands of planets that just go about their lives.

Toeing the line of heresy, but I'll allow it.

imagine you're a filthy NEET, you live in filth, you eat shit, you only drink MTN dew and are ballooning in weight. You're such a hopeless fuck up you can barely be bothered to wipe your ass. Your skin is covered in sores and blisters and you are generally a blot on civlisation.

When you're at your lowest ebb, Papa Nurgle comes to you. He thinks you're perfect as you are and he loves you, so you love him back. He's the only friend you'll ever know and you've gone from being a decrepit waste of space to a divine crusader in Nurgle's pestilent name in all your NEET foulness.

Waaiiiit a minute. Is this the girl from that Cain novel?

Just make them sterile then, I'd say that emps is a fag but I like to think that the sensei are still canon.

War and robots-skeletons are cool but what about sex and life outside of war in 40k? How fucked are you being isekaed into 40k?

Maybe they could bring them back as HQ units or a faction-specific unit to keep their canon numbers low.

Based on the accounts from the Crusades of there being moon sized orks, they need to have time to reach that stage. Just because they're in a good fight doesn't mean they'll instantly become supermen. The bigger thing to making an ork become stronger is having a bunch of fellow orks around who believe in him as the warleader of the WAAGHH, so you need a lot of not-dead orks around to get that buff.
