What's the most fucked up thing in the Warhammer 40k universe?

I almost didn't recognize who the guy on the right until I realized that it was a massive artistic error. Someone needs to redraw and fix your abaddon so he no longer has arms.

The fucking chimney on his head gives him away quite fucking easily.

Daemonculaba, shit's fucked yo.

So /d/?

Reminder that the necrons saved the imperiums ass against the tyranids and only got light casualties while the imperium got extremely heavy ones
wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Cryptus_Campaign

Dark eldar have a lot of crazy stuff like the book of 1000 torture or something
they do things like cutting their slaves to pieces at nerve level on to put them back together again under drugs so they can feel everything but won´t die
skin their slaves only to sew them back on inside out
create permanent wounds for endless suffering supplied by drugs so they won´t die off them
they are the true slaanesh worshippers
well also the live of average human in hive city must be cruel and depressing

Well the Necrons are the hard counter to the Nids so I wouldn't really expect anything else.

It's not in the games because it'd be an instant you lose condition.
The most fucked up/worst thing that could happen is it all going all End Times and the Chaos Gods manifest in realspace.

further proof that necrons are the masterrace

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

People don't appreciate Orcs enough.

Their whole story, biology, socical structures and weapons are the best thing in tbe 40k universe.

/d/ on steroids.

>The Ork holy land is just an endless war on a planet vs the nids.

Orks end game is to fight, forever, because its fun. And they dont give a shit if they die, because they'll end up with Gork and Mork fighting chaos gitz in a massive ethereal gargant in the warp. Orks already won 40K.

There are no Orcs in 40K user.

There are Orks though. Ya git.

God help us all.

Now for one with slaanesh.

>What's the most fucked up thing in the Warhammer 40k universe?

The fact that there has yet to be a decent Horus Heresy game.

Needs more Nurgle, God of chaos and disease.

Mounds of organs, baby corpses hanging from the roof, etc

This has to be the dankest and unfunnest meme ever. It's been more than a decade.

So when will the necrons awake completely?
What will the end times be like?

Wrong.

The Ork Endgame is to conquer the galaxy. The Beast which was the avatar of the Ork race represent the primal desire of the Orks to conquer and rule the galaxy. So eat a dick Orkfag.

Guy on the left of OP's pic has more power than guy on the right.

Necrons in 999 41K, went quiet on a galactic level. They just disappeared from the scene as the galaxy began to descend into the End Times.

Necrons confirmed to be squatted.

>cultistchan 1.jpg
Where's the rest, faggot?

You forgot the Ork Warboss before he "died", reached up and castrated the daemon prince with his power claw.

That is actually disgusting, well done to the painter.

Fuck I hate worms.

Moriana? Has more power than Abaddon? What are you smoking? She is a desiccated hag.

Or are you implying the Deceiver is mightier than Abaddon? That's also wrong. Abaddon fought and defeated Greater Daemons and the daemon Primarchs. A C'tan shard is nothing to him.

Daemons have no dicks though.

anybody got that image of greentext where gork and mork fucking one another?

>slaaneshi demon prince
>not having both augmented junk but backup wangs as well

>necrons saved the imperiums ass against the tyranids

Not really. They thinned the numbers of the tendrils but there is still a lot of Tyranids worming their way to Baal.

Also the way they thinned the Tyranids devastated their Imperial "allies" much to the glee of Anrakyr and Zarathusa.

The orks thought he would have a dick and balls and so he did.

Why do Eldar fans confuse "interesting lore" with "power-level trivia"?

Is this some psychological phenomenon exclusive to autists where the most powerful fictional thing is the most interesting?

Everytime I ask these chucklefucks to sell me on the Eldar, I get the same banal shit about how smart and strong they are in comparison to everyone.

Their ultimate wish is to continue to battle. They establish as their cause in life an un-winnable battle. They win just by fighting. When they die, they go on to fight some more.

I don't see an argument in your post against them having gotten what they want and thus won.

Says who

>I don't see an argument in your post against them having gotten what they want and thus won.

That's your heacanon. They might enjoy fighting (So does Chaos) but fighting for the sake of fighting it's their racial goal or destiny. Their ultimate desire and goal as a species is to conquer the galaxy.

>not having a khornate cock blood blaster

I own the models. I looked colored between their legs. No dicks were felt or seen.

Khornate daemons are even naked in the art. You see no wee-wees on them.

But they have only set that goal in the first place because it means there will be a fight that lasts for fucking ever. Do you actually think their goal is to rule?

>our nigger-infested reality
Stop projecting, americuck.

nevermind, found it

Orks don't have dicks either so they wouldn't be thinking of dicks.

A more comprehensible source for you:

warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Daemonculaba

>Do you actually think their goal is to rule?

Yes.

The Beast wanted to enslave and rule over humanity rather than fight it to death.

>accidentally unleash the horrors of the Warp upon the galaxy
>smart

>cede huge swathes of territory to Chaos, Orks and Tyranids until your empire is only a shadow of its former glory
>strong

Eldar are by far the weakest and most retarded of the civilised races, even the Tau are more successful.

Either way, it implies Tuska still crushed his crotch.

>Just as the Blood Prince was about to finish Tuska, his Weirdboyz managed to distract the daemon using their psychic powers, giving Tuska enough time to impale the creature between its legs with his Power Klaw before being killed himself.

>implying yurope isn't getting ass fucked by niggers too
where have you been the past decade? just look at sweden

...

Not really. It just implies that he maimed the Blood Prince before being killed. Nothing indicating that dicks or balls were present in the maiming.

Do you realize how stupid it is for a daemon of Khorne to have a penis? I want you to find a single art piece of a Khornate daemon with a penis.

Axlotl tanks are the worst WH40k can do?

Thats actually very disappoiting

Only western Europe.

What is the most metal 40k faction?

And yet their very nature is at odds with the entire concept of "thinking ahead." How can you say that they have a goal at all when there is no true leader? What Ork is massing their kin to this end? And what is that Ork's plan when they are the rulers?

...

You guys lied to me.
You said Kharn was strong.

I've always found the necron to be the most soulless of cultures.

Not all Ork tribes are the same. The Blood Axes for example trade with the Imperium.

So how exactly are "Orks" trying to rule the Galaxy when they differ from tribe to tribe?

Do you have actually have anything concrete from the fiction, or are you just going to continue peddling your head canon?

>And yet their very nature is at odds with the entire concept of "thinking ahead."

Not really.

Orks in the Beast Waaagh!, which was a galaxy sized Waaagh! that assembled nearly all the Orks, started to evolve. They started to get smarter and BIGGER. New Ork castes like priests, ambassadors, and administrators started popping up. They started to build an empire that spans the galaxy under the rule of the Beast and his (not kidding, this is an actual term from the novels) Prime-Orks. Each Prime-Ork represented one of the Ork Klans.

What makes them cool is that they are so mysterious. If you kill one they disappear and they've been known to execute genius level tactics.

>thinks it will just end there
KEK

>What makes them cool is that they are so mysterious.

They are not mysterious. Necrons are a bombastic and majestic.

Their marches are heralded by the triumphant speeches of their Phaerons and Overlords who are known to wear really flashy clothing and gear.

I find their ability to reason and strike deals with other races to be kind of fun, at least it makes the storyline deeper then "Oh no a xenos incursion, purge!!!" with the same army every time, some variation at least.
Like the way they think themselves above the rest (at least some of them) too since they can actually back that up.

I believe he was talking about oldcrons. Not Tomb Kings in space.

They don't worship slaanesh though, they're just suffering from the thirst which requires them to do such horrible things

Space Marines shooting acid. How come this isn't in ANY game?

pls correct me

>I find their ability to reason and strike deals with other races to be kind of fun

Also it removed what set them apart from most of the other races.

I mean the Necrons are now just metal Eldar.

>the Chaos Gods manifest in realspace
That is impossible because they are beings of pure emotion and they have no interest in doing so anyways. The only reason they care about realspace is because emotions from it feed them. They don't care about going their themselves.

To be perfectly honest they should just fuse the oldcrons with the newcrons and we might get something interesting.

I literally can't even begin to see how you racist basement dwelling neckbeards can make out the world to be so gloomy just because there's a more kebab stands in Europe than there was after WW2. Racial diversity is such a boogeyman to your people.

Why would he talk about something that no longer exists?

The majority of the Newcrons don't bother with the "mysterious" spooky approach. They are in your face yelling how inferior you are to them.

Wow, that's really good. Wish I could paint like that.

I play Nurgle or Khorne Daemons in Blood Bowl but I cannot get my Nurgle to that sort of quality of appearance.

Just saying but this might be a bit because there are just more necrons awakening then in the earlier codexes and they're becoming more active.
I just wish they would get rid of the "they want to be organic again" shit to be honest and instead went for fixing up their territories.

Sauce?

The most fucked up thing in the 40K universe was what was told to the Alpha Legion during the Heresy.

Humanity is responsible for the Chaos's strength in the warp, their population swelled and polluted the Warp with their reckless amount of emotions.

The Eldar saw the future, they saw that if humanity survives the Heresy, there would be non-stop conflict in a stalemate as humanity struggles to survive, ruining the galaxy for everyone and everything, which is what we got. The Emperor's dream of a psychically shielded humanity was a good one but there was no avoiding the Heresy and there is no hope of that as the Psyker is persecuted and fed to the Emperor.

What was told to the Alpha Legion was that if Horus was successful, and Chaos succeeded in dominating humanity, eventually it would turn upon itself, as Chaos always does. And with the infighting humanity would go extinct as the corruption would not allow it to grow ever again. And with the extinction of humanity thus follows the extinction of Chaos as the emotions stemming from humanity would no longer taint the warp. And so the Alpha Legion turned traitor, to ensure the destruction of humanity for the good of the galaxy.

That is the most fucked up thing. That we have to go extinct to truly win.

>their population swelled and polluted the Warp with their reckless amount of emotions.

no the warp was corrupted after the war in heaven, while humanity was still crawling around in the dirt.

Read more 40k kid.

no, i salute you from coming out of your blog and visiting us and complain about racism on a taiwanese programation imageboard

Humanity is said to be the prime power source of Chaos. If it was killed off, then Chaos would greatly be weakened.

Source is the Daemon dex 4th ED.

Since this is a WH40k I must ask, what was the dark deal that the radical inquisitors made with the dark eldars in commorragh to keep the golden throne function?

>What's the most fucked up thing in the Warhammer 40k universe

Tyranids in general, Exterminatus, and pretty much anything to do with genocide.

>le slaanesh meme

The virgins on Cred Forums are so intimidated by the idea of sex, that anything involving it is seen as "fucked up", and so they think Slaaneshi cults are the absolute worst things in the setting. You can safely ignore these retards. The slaughter of entire planetary populations and civilizations will always be much more horrifying than some chick fucking a diseased pig.

Have some SoB tits.

The Admech made the deal.

And it might be sometthing about fixing the golden throne.

>Not really

Anrakyr's plan and the aid of their C'tan shard was instrumental in helping the Blood Angels achieve victory, though.

Without him, Dante and most of the Blood Angels would be dead and Baal would be super mega fucked.

Humanity has always been the main culprit when it comes to the creation of the three first gods. The warp was getting worse since the war in heaven but humanity is what pushed it over the edge.

>no the warp was corrupted after the war in heaven

Not canon anymore. Daemons were around for a long, long time before Necrons.

I mean that it postponed the inevitable a bit. Baal is still fucked.

Friendly reminder that Eldar "superiority" amounts little more than being born with negligible physiological strengths that are outclassed by even basic human augmentation, and possessing a higher level of intelligence that is used primarily to speak in unnecessarily convoluted prose.

>slaanesh is only sex cults
Actual virgin detected.

Slaanesh is about excess and over indulgence.
Drugs, an experience, a certain feeling, as long as you keep doing it over and over and over, escalating as you go.
The fact that Noise Marines are such a big thing should make this obvious, they don't care about sex, they care about music and sound and are still affiliated with Slaanesh

This. Slaanesh isn't that fucked up when your whole planet can be virus bombed.

>Baal is still fucked.

There is yet hope.

How powerful was the Transcendant C'tan anyway? Can't they just fuck reality?

...

>What will the end times be like?
Stupid

not stupid amusing, just stupid underwhelming

As someone who only plays the viddy games I'm really disappointed GW is taking that approach. AoS and now this, they must be utterly retarded.

>How powerful was the Transcendant C'tan anyway?

It solo'd a bio-titan.

>Can't they just fuck reality?

The term that's often used is 'reality bending'. So they can fuck with things without outright breaking the rules.

>negligible physiological strengths that are outclassed by even basic human augmentation

So wrong it hurts.

>implying Slaanesh is only about sex or even mainly about it
Slaanesh's domain is excess. Doing fucked up shit for the sake of it is kinda their thing.

For most other factions, the fucked up shit they do is a matter of survival. Psykers getting killed en masse to the Emperor? Yeah, but if they didn't, humanity would be done for. Tyranids eating entire worlds? Highly hinted that they're running from a bigger threat. Dark Eldar having perfected torture? If they didn't, they'd suffer in eternity getting eaten by Slaanesh.

What makes Slaanesh and Chaos in general fucked up is that they do what they do for the sake of it. And if the worst thing you can think of when you hear of Slaanesh is "lol weird fetish" then you don't know much about 40k beyond Cred Forums meems.

You wonder how the Tyranids would handle the Necrons if they were still in their WiH-levels of well... activeness, with the c'tan and the like.

End times is basically what has been going on for the last 300 years or so. Tyranids and Nercons growing in power. Chaos running even more rampant. The Throne slowly dying because of some non repairable problem. It's already happening and has been happening for a long time.

Camp 731, oh wait, no that was Japan less than 100 years ago.

>Highly hinted that they're running from a bigger threat

What the fuck is wrong with this verse

>m-muh aspect warriors!

Literally on par with a fucking Space Marine.

Eldar are so pathetic, their "talents" can be replicated in a lab.

>on par with a fucking Space Marine

True. But Space Marines are the pinnacle of human augmentation, not the most 'basic'.

>only got light casualties while the imperium got extremely heavy ones
I don't see any heavy causalities in the Cadian 9th, you metal-loving heretic. There is nothing a xeno can do that honest men of the Imperium can't do better.

Primarchs are the pinnacle. Space Marines are the mass produced pinnacle.

I'd rather watch a planet get virus bombed than a room full of people get tortured to death

>1d4CHAN.org

I suppose, but there are tons of augmentations in the Imperium that are far more common and safer than the process by which a Space Marine is made.

In the grim darkness of the future, there is only war.

Also, does Warhammer Fantasy have a Tyranid Equivalent? I mean Pre-Age of Sigmar Warhammer Fantasy.

Brother do you know how time consuming it is to make a Marine? May not even survive the transition.

There are only 1 million marines in the galaxy.

>Tyranid Equivalent

Ogre Kingdoms.

>Highly hinted that they're running from a bigger threat.
the hint came from a disbelieving in setting pov; we have a paragraph showing the awakening of the hive fleet that still had to head towards the milky galaxy and there was no hurry, it was sleeping between the void of galaxies without need to do anything if not wait for a prey to show itself; the silent king in its voyage outside the galaxy noted the tyranids among all the things he saw as the greatest monstrosity; we have an old piece of fluff about a telepathic communication between a human and a tyrant, the human saw that there's no other motive driving the tyranids if not a hunger for more, they could live up in an enclosed biosystem until the universe dies but they decided to be hungry for more resources.

So are there any planets that have peace in the 40k universe? One where it's inhabitants live relatively easygoing lives or is it all fucked?

is what every christian does too

>reading this thread
I dont know whats going on but some of these words are interesting.

USA is literally western with the biggest black and hispanic "minority". There are less white people % wise in american than in ANY european country.

Most of the worlds in the Imperium are generally pretty okay, Its just that fluff tends to focus on the Hive worlds, or the forge worlds or chaos fuckery.

What? The only chance nids would ever have on tt is with flyrant spam. Disregarding how unfluffy it is, it still isn't a counter to necrons.

Abaddon is wielding both the sword and power claw of Horus that was built with dark age tech by the emperor himself and THEN empowered by chaos. In addition he was Horus' right hand man.

Because it's a fanfic with exaggerated everything.
It's great.

I've been into 40k for over a decade, and this is the first I've heard of this. Is it recent? I haven't been following closely last couple of years. It sounds rad as fuck, and I want to read more. And, preferably, I don't want to read it on Lexicanum.

user that's a RX-78

When? All I see is Tyranid cult codex no one asked for.

So why doesn't the Imperium just mass produce giant fuck off titans and steamroll everyone?

No news on deathwing?

Depends what you read. Try some of the Horus Hersey novels or other series.

Just reading wikis and posts about it paints a poor picture.

>implying Kharn didn't get fucking jobbed

Can Nids absorb Necrons?

Skaven has been around for decades before Reddit was even thought of. They have nothing in common.

Pretty sure most of Reddit would play something like High Elves anyways, since they think they are above everyone else, and that makes them 'euphoric' which is caused by their 'intellectual intelligence'.

Technology is lost/difficult to transport them.

No as soon as a Necron dies it teleports out.

I like the idea of using WWI era tech to kill a bunch of stupid knights on horses
Dunno what the reboot did with them though

Paradise worlds are good worlds for heresy and slaneeshi corruption

The reverse a-birth-ion thing. It's childbirth, but abortion, and reverse too.

>Technology is lost
Thats a funny way of saying that those fuckwits on Mars horde all the good stuff for themselves.

>no one asked for genestealer cults codex

>steampunk is now ww1

Are you fucking high?

Nope, they avoid tomb worlds unless there's life seeded on them or living inhabitants.
The necrons are also fuckoff-tier counter to nids and some of the most overpowered enemies whenever they get their shit together

Unknown, it's kind of a niche scenario that we hasn't been very well detailed.

When Necrons phase out, they return to the tomb world for repairs. But what happens when the Tyranids completely overwhelm the tomb world and start eating everything? Are the living metal "corpses" absorbed? Are they ignored? Do they self destruct and atomize themselves? Is Tyranid digestive acid strong enough to break it down and absorb it like everything else?

It is a mystery.

So what happens if a Kroot devours a Tyranid?

Is it true that Orks can breathe in space because they're too stupid to understand that they're not supposed to be able to?

>"BIGGER SHOULDER PADS, I WANT BIGGERS SHOULDER PADS"
>"But sir, the space marines's shoulder pads are already so impractical, I don't think we can come up w.."
>"BIIIGGGEEEEERRR"

the only real worlds that consistently are terrible are death worlds and hive worlds ( and possibly forge worlds) everywhere else are just pretty much normal planets in various states of technology that you only hear about when something bad happens there. you get things like agri-worlds which are basically an entire planet of just farms where the entire population has never even heard of a alien or even a space marine

You're correct, this is actually way more advanced than WWI

They could probably harvest a few minerals from the living metal but it's extremely difficult since most of the time it either teleports away after damage or starts eating back like it happened to some kroots.
The tyranids ignore the necrons as much as they can.

An actually interesting race considered the worst? Wow.

"Skaven society is a lawless world where the strongest and most cunning rise to the top, while the weakest are eaten or enslaved. Every Skaven is constantly fighting for supremacy, whether to advance, or to defend his position from would-be usurpers. Fights are usually not to the death, but any Skaven who is maimed will quickly be dispatched by the victor. Treachery is not seen as dishonourable in any way, indeed it is the traditional way of advancing in Skaven society."

You find this more dull than "I am a human. I fight for honor!"

Skaven are also the only race who can handle the Warpstone efficiently without needing to fear it'll kill or corrupt them, and they use not only to power their weapons and their magic, but also to intentionally mutate themselves in order to grow stronger and evolve into a higher form. Their lore is actually interesting.

Orks can do everything as long as they believe it.

Imagine if the only part of a computer we knew how to build was the case. To build a computer in 2016, you had to take the parts from another computer or graft computer components from microwaves or calculators or whatever similar-but-not-even-close device you can. But you can never produce more parts, meaning every part that degrades or dies is gone for good, unless someone who spent 500 years of his life studying these parts can maybe do a quick repair if it's remarkably simple (IE no damage to the silicon, no shorted circuits, etc.).

But hey, you can build however many computer cases you want.

That's the state of technology in 40k. Technology got so advanced that when the way of how to make it was lost (in a war that destroyed nearly everything, followed by space travel being lost for a few thousand years, and evil gods fucking up everything they could between then), that it's become impossible to replicate it. They can make the simpler parts of old technology, but the essential parts they have to scrounge.

>Nope, they avoid tomb worlds unless there's life seeded on them or living inhabitants.

Hasn't been canon for a while, and it never made sense in the first place. Tyranids will devour material that can give them energy, not just organic material. Shit like minerals and stuff will be consumed as well. So it never made sense that they would avoid tomb worlds unless they were all airless rocks with no atmosphere (and surely most of them aren't).

Well, the two aesthetics are often hand in hand.

looks like something out of the Turtles cartoons

Gatling guns were invented mid 19th century you mongoloid

Why did you post an edited image OP? Abby doesn't have arms.

>Shit like minerals and stuff will be consumed as well

These two statements don't fit together
Nids should eat even completely barren planets all the way to the core

...

The shapers prohibit it.

Since it is an absorption of genetic data it would either cause the kroot to die to cancers, become physically and/or psychically deformed or start acquiring tyranid characteristics, the connection to the hive mind being one.

as evidenced by this campaign. wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Cryptus_Campaign
They only really had to ally with the blood ravens to get strategic positions more easily
then they atomized a good chunk of leviathan

The Imperium is cited at having over a million worlds. Usually referred to as 'Civilized Worlds'. There are a few that are talked about in Ultramar. There are a few from the Dawn of War games that you actually play on.

It's hard to give you a number but they pop up in the books fairly often.

Nids can only consume "biomatter." Pretty much excludes that to carbon and carbon molecules.

The other user doesn't have a source to stand on for his other statements that I know of.

tell me when this wasn't canon
doesn't really matter anyway, we don't know if they use necrodermis

Thar's a lie. Civilized worlds are the most common type of worlds in the Imperium and they are described as hellholes.

Source? Failed at what exactly?

The fluff says that all Black Crusades were a success and achieved their objective.

Hardly most of their archives were destroyed during the Hersey and there is a persistent willingness to progress and think of new ways to work things that has been around since before the Hersey

I want to read more depressing shit about the life of the average imperial citizen.

>These two statements don't fit together
>Nids should eat even completely barren planets all the way to the core
Bids have priorities in their targets considering the time and resources that must be spent to approach it, they will ignore a lifeless world to go for a lively world even if the second is more distant, especially if both worlds are defended.

>everything is the worst

>976.M41 The Feast of Steel
>The Sautekh Dynasty expands into Tau space and invades the Kroot-held world of Caroch. Though the Kroot win the first engagements, their attempt to dine upon the living metal of their victims has hideous results as a nano-scarab plague sweeps through their ranks.

The Tyranids dumb enough to eat nanamachines. That's what essentially what living metal is. It's a bad idea going with what happened with the Kroot.

>chaosfags
regimental-standard.com/2016/08/31/what-is-a-black-crusade/

But that generalization is refuted a thousand times over by any fluff you look at. An agriworld doesn't have "hab-blocks" or poverty. No one on an agriworld starves, or has diseases. No one on an agriworld is very educated either - at least the peasants aren't - and they live a very feudal life in their happy villages when they aren't doing farming things.

Similarly, feudal worlds aren't like your image. The non-hive worlds described in the Ciaphas Cain novels are nothing like that, especially the commerical planet with the hot side and cold side.

That image is a large generalization and is essentially describing a hive world and nothing else. The very presence of Arbitrators supports that, as most worlds that aren't overpacked to bursting don't need real Arbitrators and rely on other forms of local law enforcement, like praetors, custodes, and a thousand other types I've seen but don't bother remembering the name of.

To be fair the Kroot are idiots.

Tyranid codex clearly states they eat inorganic material as well. They even drain planetary oceans. Everything is recycled. All that's left behind is a lifeless rock.

As far as I know this hasn't been retconned. Shield of Baal even has them collecting the useful shit floating in the atmosphere of a gas giant.

I thought the hull-mounted cannon was supposed to be the giant one for destroying fortifications
It barely looks bigger than the turret-mounted one

Are there any legitimate good guys in Warhammer 40k? Anyone who doesn't agree or do genocide or kill just to kill people? Good guys that are real heroes.

IT IS THE BAAAAAAANEBLAAAAAAAAADEEEEE

>The Tyranids dumb enough to eat nanamachines.
But we have no indication this happened in the all the cases we have seen them fight, in fact they don't consider at all their bodies.

is he going to have sex with slaanesh

>But that generalization is refuted a thousand times over by any fluff you look at

No, they are not. They are supported by the source.

Also l2reading comprehension, you moron. The fluff piece is not describing agri-worlds or hiveworlds, they are describing civilized worlds which are the majority of worlds in the Imperium.

...

Except for maybe Tau, nobody is really "good"
out of the "bad guys" the necrons are easily the best since they can be reasoned with to some degree and they aren't led by C'tan anymore.
They want to get rid of chaos and tyranids but they don't give a shit about lives lost since it doesn't matter to them.

There're hidden brotherhoods that only fight for their own freedom.

sounds like life now

>Good guys that are real heroes.

And real human beans

Also have this nugget.

>The majority of the Imperium live lives of hopelessness.

Why this shit so edgy

>They want to get rid of chaos and tyranids

They also want to exterminate mankind (and everyone else) and rule the galaxy again.

They've become the generic evil conquering warlords.

I would argue Eldar. They fuck up a lot but they have the best intentions.

If you have a source that says otherwise, post it. Water is essential to life, so yes it's consumed. But I have yet to see a source that says other than pic related.

In the Haemonculus codex, there is even a passage about a coven poisoning the water on a world, making each citizen bloat to unholy proportions. Gigantic meat sacks of flesh. Although there was no change in the available resources on the planet, a hive fleet diverted its course to go consume the now biomatter rich world.

Sisters of Battle are the real heroes. I don't think you could go as far as call them the 'good guys' but they don't "kill just to kill people" as you say. The Order of the Valorous Heart is constantly striving for atonement and seek forgiveness for all of their sins.

>we WarhammerZ now
wew innit

Don't they want to get rid of all the life in the galaxy?

And Eldar and Humans are the good guys. Taus don't even matter.

apparently theres this super spoopy interdimensional sealed evil in a can somewhere out in dark space that would have beat the snot out of humanity at its height, and then destroyed the universe, if not for being resealed quickly and taken off every map and record
i forget what it was called though...

...

What is edgy ?

>What's the most fucked up thing in the Warhammer 40k universe?
Slanesshi cults
Dark Eldar
Yearly Hive population purge
Imperial Navy Slaves
"Voluntary" Servitor service
Halo Stars artifacts
The Golden Throne
Schola Progenium Trials
Excrement coffee
Excrement food source
Using corpses to fuel furnaces in manufactorums

And many more.

Actually, we do.

Tyranids in Shield of Baal mindlessly started biting at downed Necrons mistakenly thinking their bodies have biomass. If they swallowed down Necron necrodermis, they got a mouthfull of replicating and matter altering nanomachines which would wreak havoc on their bodies.

Everything

at least make the transmission airborne when you design the thing

People seem to forget the proximity and empathy involved in calling something horrible.
So many peopole dying is worse in an objective sense and in relation to a race but a single persons suffering is much easier to empathize and thus feel much more horrible.

>"Voluntary" Servitor service

That shit disturbs me the most especially Servo skulls.

HEY TYRANIDS HOW ABOUT YOU GROW YOUR OWN SHIT INSTEAD OF GOING THROUGH YEARS OF SPACE TRAVEL EVERYTIME YOU'RE HUNGRY, EVER THOUGHT OF THAT?

Eldars.
They will fuck with other races just to protect their asses.
They also gave us Dark Eldars and the Eye of terror (with all the daemon worlds it contains) via the birth of Slaanesh.
Sincerely, thank you.

Nah. It's not ironic enough fort Chaos.

Typhus and Nurgle take pleasure in the fact that it's the Imperium's oppressive way is what makes the Zombie Plague/Plague of Unbelief the great threat it is to humanity.

So Cred Forums how do we save mankind from this mess

>If you have a source that says otherwise, post it

Already pointed out it happens in Shield of Baal. Feel free to post something that contradicts it.

Also
>Water is essential to life
does not disprove the fact that they eat inorganic material.

So do the Orks have any society to speak of?

The Silent King actually wants to become organic again.
The necrons are divided into dyansties for a reason though, some want to exterminate others and some are open to negotiations.

When an imperial planet is about to be overrun, will the citizens be evacuated?

i think its sad that theres no game covering the slaanesh / nurgle / blood god / winds of change madness. that stuff is literally nightmare fuel

Yep but sometimes they are left to their fates

Teeth is currency. Lootin and fightin is life.

Servo skulls got nothing of Cherub servitors.
At least servo-skulls are made from the skulls of dutiful imperial citizens.

Cherubs used to made from abducted/orphaned/discarded human babies. Though that is now retconed, they are vat-grown infants now but still.

There are literally not enough humans to fight what is to come (the full force of leviathan and the tyranid hivemind)
the best they could do is surrender their territory to imotekh or some other necron lord so they can awake all of their worlds and kill the shit out of the tyranids
or let the eye of terror take over the galaxy since the tyranids would have problems fighting chaos in the warp.

MOEWAAAAGHARE

Well it's not edgy, because edge is to be taken seriously, in 40k, it is designed originally to be goofy/not serious, although the story/setting is interesting, the edge is well measured and it's played for the laugh
Depends on who evacuate the world

If Lamenters, yes

>Implying humanity stands a chance.

Lets see what the Necron say?

>You understand, lord, that the angel-humans were never our real foe in this. Mere happenstance it was that placed them in opposition to the Silent King’s plan. That, and their characteristic unwillingness to admit that they know nothing of the true nature of the universe.

>For as much as the human empire considers itself the height of evolution and the antithesis of the tyranid race – if you can believe such a thing! – they are perhaps more alike than either of them can know. Dovetlan once likened the humans to insects. They swarm. They cannibalise. They live without real thought for the future or the past, beyond the propagation of their own brood.

>And they build hives. Literally.

>Teeming with human vermin and other, even more degenerate life forms, their settlements agglomerate around the points of industry and resource, openly abusing their worlds to feed the wasteful cycle of war and procreation. Even their ruling classes may live out their entire organic lifespan within a ten-kilometre area, such is the self-contained and parochial nature of the hive cities.

>In all our time, we have rarely witnessed such edifices constructed by a sentient race. They are stockpiles of humankind, in all its stripes. Concentrated cells of organic filth.

>Bio-mass.

>Bait.

>It was a fortuitous coincidence that placed a world such as this in the path of the Silent King’s quarry. After his great victory over the tyranid beasts in the dimensional anomaly at Anjac, he had pursued a splinter fleet through the void entirely undetected for almost three cycles. He observed their movements. He studied their reactions to external astral stimuli.

>And then he began to calculate ahead.

>None but he, in his majestic wisdom, could have accomplished such a feat – but even the magnificent Szarekh could not deny the providence that brought them hence afterwards.

>marine malevolent
Those fucking dicks.

What do Cherubs do? I know that Librarians use them.

>Our cold bodies hold little interest for the Devourer. At best, they might be drawn to the more physical power sources utilised by our technologies, or defend themselves when we strike them. But fodder for their living ships, we are not.

>The hive worlds of the humans shine like beacons in comparison. The tyranids are drawn to such banquets with a singular, predatory hunger.

>The Silent King knows this.

>The beginnings of a plan began to form in his mind, as he later told us.

>He would lay a trap for them, and he would bait it with the humans.

...

Yet Adumbria from "The Traitor's Hand" is nothing like that description, despite being a civilized world, and despite being assailed by a Slaaneshi cult and raided by a Khornate fleet, they are described as totally normal by 2016 standards.

Armageddon is a civilized world and does not fit that description, before or after orks. Cadia is a civilized world and does not fit that description. Valhalla. Any world in Ultramar you can bet your ass isn't like that. In fact, you'd be hard pressed to actually find a world that fits that description. Holy Terra. Necromunda. Hive worlds like those fit it exclusively.

But you wouldn't know that. You are clearly ignorant of the setting outside of this one passage and want to swear by it exclusively. Thus, it isn't even worth arguing with you further.

Also Tyranids in Shadowbrink devoured daemon flesh. The Tyranids that did that died on the spot as daemon flesh warped them and tore them from the inside out.

That's fucking amazing.

>civilized worlds which are the majority of worlds in the Imperium
You realize "civilized" just means there are people living it it right? There is no type of world that is just "civilized" and agri worlds are just as civilized as hive worlds.

So why do the Orks speak English with a chav accent? Who taught them that?

They carry book or purity seals, maybe vox speaker

Ah Orks. How can you not love them?

>Yet Adumbria from "The Traitor's Hand" is nothing like that description

Not the guy you're discussing this with but
>Ciaphas Cain
is hardly the kind of series you should take to be representative of the setting.

Most of them do not speak English just in the games they translate it for you.

Post the passage, you dolt. I'm not doing your work for you. I posted one that says to the contrary. My source, from the Codex, clearly says that flesh, vegetation, and water constitute "biomatter" and that is what they eat. I don't doubt that nids would want minerals and other essential nutrients, but that is not described as biomatter and that is not described as what tyranids consume when they consume a planet.

>described as totally normal by 2016 standards.

From Cain's perspective, not ours.

>Armageddon is a civilized world and does not fit that description,

Armageddon is a hellhole a few steps removed removed from being a Deathworld.

The mjority of the Imperium worlds are shitty places where oppression is the rule. Again according to the sourcebooks.

>it isn't even worth arguing with you further.

Good. Eat and dick and fuck off.

It's still Black Library canon, regardless of your thoughts on it, and it has GW's approval.

Dank is a positive thing.

Unfun is a bad thing.

So it's the best worst meme ever?

Wrong. It's meant usually for urban worlds. It's a classification of a planet within the Imperium that's different from Hiveworlds and Agri-worlds.

They were first created in the first year the Emperor sat on his golden chair, one was created per year and they sing the most immaculate of chants and litanies.

Cherub function depends of what their creator made them for. Though not generally used for combat though cherubs do have more advanced intelligence cogitators. Some pack weapons and infiltration devices, some are floating shield generators. Though for the most part they are mostly used for decoration.

Post a single non-hive world that is true to the description you posted.

I'm sorry it's so hard for you to understand logic.

Meh, current /tg/ is ok too.
Im just waiting for the next part of the all guardsmen party story, apparently Shoggy is currently proof reading it.

>Post the passage, you dolt

I don't need to. It wasn't a single line in one paragraph that I need to double check. It was the entire reason for the Tyranids even attacking that planet.

But if you're so insistent.

wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Pyrovore

>A Pyrovore is a species of Tyranid which pre-digests biomass to provide minerals and fuel for the Tyranid Hive Fleet. Its body is a complex array of bladders and stomachs, driven by the instinctive need to feed, with a deadly maw dripping with corrosive acids strong enough to break down flesh, bone and armour into a smouldering mucous. They are often found on battlefields feasting on the dead and wounded, and can even devour metals and rocks

All worlds that were overrun by the Plague of Unbelief.

Piss off, Amerifat!

>People worship pieces of the bodies of certain saints

No they don't. Worship is reserved for God alone.

Hard to see mankind as good when they are the primary fuel for chaos

There are Ork empires with leaders and shit

Protestant spotted.

>BL doesn't supersede GW.
Like it or not, GW officially gave BL and FW rights to push canon forward. They are currently using BL to consolidate (and picture my disgusted face as I paraphrase this) canon into the most "sensible canon under all variations of fluff." Thus, when the BL library book came out saying that the Black Templar were only 1,100 marines strong (instead of several thousand) that was GW using them to make a "more sensible canon" against every BT players wishes. When Cypher went from an uncatchable, enigmatic figure to the Dark Angel's best bud and time-traveling ally, that is their idea of a "more sensible canon." Perpetuals, Siege of Verdun Ollanius Pius? "Sensible" canon.

I don't like it, user. I really don't. I've always preferred the idea of perspective and interpretation, and that fans should be allowed to pick their favorites, but GW has in recent years made a firm stance against that.

Not him but I remember a passage describing the report of an imperial agent noting the approximate quantities of soil that got removed from the passage of a hive fleet

Well?

I'm pretty sure idolatry is forbidden in all denominations

I know of no Christian denomination that worships saints.

>They also want to exterminate mankind (and everyone else) and rule the galaxy again.

Necrons? No, they don't. Outside Maynarkh and the Destroyer Cults, Necrons don't to exterminate humanity or other lifeforms. They want to enslave them and use them for their purposes.

Anrakyr even says that sentient life is essential for the Necrons dominance of the galaxy. The Silent King wishes for humanity to survive and become vassals of the Necrons.

That's what the new lore says?

...

I read the daemonculaba book, with the skin factories and all

It wasn't very good

>against every BT players wishes

Never let the players decide what should and should not be canon. Black Templars being in well in excess of 1,000 marines was always stupid shit - the only people who liked it were the fans (i.e. retards) who wanted to have a super speshul chapter.

Oh my bad. I assumed it wasn't quite that generic.

Yeah. Read this.

>Szarekh would have it known by every phaeron of every dynasty, that he is a just and noble ruler. Before the Great Sleep, he realised his failings and vowed to atone for them. He is humble enough to learn from his own mistakes. The necrons will rise once more, and he will lead us into a new and glorious age as the preeminent masters of creation. Not because it is his right, but a privilege that he would first re-earn.

>Yet, his benevolence has its limits.

>It is not to say that he harbours the humans any particular malice. Simply, their supposed destiny is incompatible with our own. Perhaps if they had ascended more powerfully in an earlier epoch, then they might have claimed this galaxy out from beneath the slumbering dynasties while the Silent King still dwelt in self-imposed exile.

>And perhaps not. Their propensity for self-destruction is… troubling.

>The tyranids are anathema to all life, and life is what the necrons require for supreme domination. So too, then, is the primal destiny of the Devourer incompatible with our own.

>The humans create.

>The necrons maintain.

>The tyranids consume.

>There can be no lasting symmetry in that triumvirate. One must fall. The great Szarekh has decreed that it shall be the tyranids, and none can refute the word of the Silent King.

>It is unlikely that the humans see things as clearly as we do, Lord Anrakyr. Ironic, is it not, that they gnash their teeth and cry out at the injustice of a new alien race polluting ‘their’ empire with brash, unwitting conquests? We have seen this before, and doubtless we will see it again. When all of this is but a footnote in the annals of our great triumph, who will even remember the name of a dead human Emperor, or the ignorant miseries doled out in his name?

-Shield of Baal "Words of the Silent King".

>who wanted to have a super speshul chapter.
>the only non-1st founding chapter to have their own codex
The BT were always unique from the ground up. With this recent change, however, the idea of them being on twelve crusades at the same time (with the numbers seen at Armageddon, for one) is suddenly bafflingly unreasonable. Illogical, more like. Unless it means that they send several hundred marines to a few crusades and then a squad or two to "crusades" elsewhere.

Are you seriously defending the 1,000 marines per chapter restriction as more logical? That when they say a single company can conquer a planet, you think one hundred boots is a perfectly reasonable amount of soldiers to cover multiple continents and win?

Though they are translated in media. Orks can learn the language of any race they fight, its part of their adaptation instincts.

>Their propensity for self-destruction is… troubling
That's rich coming a fucking necron

>>The humans create.
>>The necrons maintain.
>>The tyranids consume.
the only useless part in this triumvirate is the necron one

if you build and mantain you end up building too much
if you mantain an consume there won't be enough growth
if you build and consume you can reach balance of renewal

necrons insertions in the lore past being a side curiosity have been hamfisted asspulls so far.

okay in all seriousness, a swarm of reality warping rats coming at you is actually a bit scary

The tyranids consume and fuck off to another galaxy though, the matter used ti create life would be gone

>Unless it means that they send several hundred marines to a few crusades and then a squad or two to "crusades" elsewhere.

That's exactly what it means. Have you read the Forge of Mars series? It's seriously a 'crusade' for Black Templars when they send a single squad along side an entire Mechanicus Explorator expedition.

>That when they say a single company can conquer a planet, you think one hundred boots is a perfectly reasonable amount of soldiers to cover multiple continents and win?

That's not unique to Black Templars, though. Multiple times in BL books, Space Marines have claimed that a single company (shit, sometimes they say a single SQUAD) can conquer a planet. The logistics are left to the readers imagination.

>browses Cred Forums
>complains about memes
(you)

So there are Orks going around speaking Eldar?

What are you talking about? The Necrons beat their predetermined destiny of extinction. They rose above nature and time to be everlasting and undying. The Necrons escaped self-destruction and now they offer the galaxy to walk the same path that led them infinite glory.

>The universe groaned as scything waves of light emerged from the praetorians’ covenant rods. Weeping humans, eyes and mouths wide, desperation spewing from their wretched faces, erupted into clouds of burning ash. Other bodies were dragged out of buildings by unthinking, unfeeling warriors and lined up in rows for incineration. It was endlessly fascinating, Anrakyr mused, that life always followed the same paths. They were fleshy and pink or brown, all colours drawn from the same palette. Some were tall. Others were short. Female and male. But they all followed the same template.

>Two legs. Two arms. One head. How unbelievably common. The universe tried to impose order, from the eldar to the necrontyr to these human dregs. Two by two. A curious coincidence or evidence of some great plan? That it all led to entropy and disruption, to chaos, was an eternal shame. Only the necrons had refused such predestination, electing to take a different path rather than walk down the road that led to destruction.

-SOB: Devourer

>infinite glory
Didn't the ruler of the Necrontyr who decided they should become terminators fucking hate himself for it?
Didn't they destroy the C'tan because of that? Didn't he then go into exile to cry about what his people had become?

>that fey wrist
DAT'S PERFEK
TOP KEKZ

is that the new lore bullshit? No more bein taken advantage off and suciding their whole race?

Not anymore he doesn't

Enslavement was the old lore. With the new lore, the Stormking wants to kill all the sentient races, but disdains the Destroyer Cults because they wish to destroy "all life," where as he hopes to one day rejoin life.

Anrakyr, if he's the guy I think he is, is different. He only really cares about reawakening the necrons and has even offered to let humans evacuate the planet while he awakens the tomb beneath it (before the cryptek slaughtered all the humans anyways without his approval). He's also the guy that didn't mind working with the Blood Angels as it meant defeating the tyranid menace and preserving the most necrons. He doesn't harbor any ill will towards the other races except nids.

I suppose it could be said it depends on the lord.

you could just swap out every instance of the word skaven with drow in that first paragraph and it would still be nearly as accurate

>The Necrons escaped self-destruction

That remains to be seen. Nothing says that stuff like the Wars of Secession can't happen again. The Silent King destroyed his command codes before he fucked off to wander the galaxy.

Not every Necron agrees with the Silent King.

The prophecy behind the C'tan deal was that the Necrontyr would recieve immortal glory but in exchange of their souls. Necrons got their immortality and glory and now they are dealing with the whole bitterness of a soulless existence. Some seem to think it was worth it.

I'm not saying it was BT only. The only actual source I can recall that outright states it is the Celestial Lions one.

I'm calling it ridiculous. Far more ridiculous than a chapter exploiting a loophole in the Codex Astartes (which they were founded of IF members who disagreed with it in the first place) to do more good than a mere single thousand could.

More importantly, it didn't need an exact number anyways. They should have, as you say, left the logistics up to the readers imagination.

>Enslavement was the old lore. With the new lore, the Stormking wants to kill all the sentient races, but disdains the Destroyer Cults because they wish to destroy "all life," where as he hopes to one day rejoin life.

Wrong, dude. The Sautekh dynasty has 500 alien worlds under its control. These worlds continue to pay tribute to Imotekh. It's from the same codex you are screening from. Read it.

If they want to save the necron tomb worlds from tyranid crossfire and reap the benefits of taking the galaxy then they need to unite, at least temporarily.

Necron anons what the fuck is this thing and what does it do?

that's how necron babies are made

It's an apocalyptic weapon powered by a C'tan Shard.

When a C'tan shard is too powerful to be held in a pokeball, they put it in there.

>same codex says a guy won't stop until ever non-necron is dead just happened to have enslaved 500 alien worlds instead of killing them
Oh, Games Workshop. You'll never stop, will you?

How do we kill chaos god Cred Forums

Like a game like Star Wars Battlefront I and II campaign modes, mixed with Republic Commando?

probably by killing every lifeform in the galaxy

That and much of the underlayers of Mars contain dangers like Iron Men.

I just finished Death or Glory today. That book was pretty grimdark. The scene at the end when Team Grimlowe was butchered was pretty unexpected, especially since it talks about so many of the characters that live through the encounter, and Grimlowe's squad was the only one they paid real attention to, and then bam, dead, along with the ganger chick and the arbitrator.

The Space Hulk Deathwing SP campaign is supposedly like Republic COmmando

the multiverse should cease to experience emotions or should start empowering another deity in a way that would make it compete and win the spheres of influence of the other gods and elaborate them again under a different light.

basically, to stop religion you either fill the ignorance that spawns a belief or you make a bigger religion.

Greek Orthodox Christians do. Sometimes they invoke the names of saints with the same fervour as if they were referring to God. People actually line up to kiss pictures of these saints.

That said, they're more worshipping the saint's spirit, rather than their actual corpse.

While they are fucked up, Dark Eldar take that shit to a 100, they'll peel your genitals while raping your children to death infront of you after injecting you with something to heighten all your sense and also cause the sensation of all your blood to feel like nettles stinging the inside of the veins. Shit like this will go on for days or weeks. If you die during it well.. tough they can bring you back. One guy had abdominal surgery while he was alive and was nailed to the ceiling with his chest open and all his organs hanging out of him nailed to the ceiling with him. He was alive like this for a few days I believe, able to feel it all constantly

You put fucktons of work and time into it, not to mention having practiced a lot.

They hate and fear slaanesh as much if not more than the craftworld eldar though

Just like my Japanese human experiments! lmao

More or less. They aren't as shooty as the tau or imperium. They are ded choppy (which orks love) and they are as numerous (if not more so) as the orks themselves. They don't muck about with loads of heavy armour and they always change and mix it up to keep it interesting. Orks love fighting the bugs

Source? Cause I haven't heard anything like that

Games barely even explain the lore. I was pretty surprised while reading more about WH40K after playing DoW that the Emperor they dickride so much is a fucking vegetable or who the dark gods are because aside from ''BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD'' no one fucking bothered with explaining them either.

BTW vanilla DoWs have a boring and shit Chaos faction you can't even pick any chaos marks.

...

No one mentioned psykers being sacrificed to the Emperor every day? It's not a quick death at all.

Not enough time, nids would fuck them before that shit had impact

Literally the only solution that might be able to stop the nids from nomming the imperials is letting the necrons access and awake their tomb worlds and then asking them to rid the nid in return

Like Warcraft movie, it would require funding straight from the copyright holder (GW) itself and we know that isn't going to happen. Those fucking kikes will never to anything nice.

Enslavers
Tyranids

but not portable ones like that.

yeah actually some Eldar philosopher wrote about how the orks have created a society so simplistic and honest it actually works and is efficient, void of corruption. Of could the Cweldar didn't like that.

What's the most enjoyable Warhammer game atm & is it DoW1:SS+ ultimate apocalypse?

>sitting around singing hymns somewhat close to the god emperor of mankind as your life slowly wanes
Who wouldn't want this, are you some kind of heretic?

>who will even remember the name of a dead human Emperor

Emperor doesn't even have a name, just a title

needs daemons x sisters of battle

That's edgy.

pretty sure you can find it by searching Chaos Orks

his name is the emperor

Shit movie, but that scene sprang to mind

AND WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH
WILL ALWAYS
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH

Grots... solo mobs of gretchen.... vast unending hordes of cannon fodder.

ah no... Christians worship Christ.
came back from the dead, walked on up to heaven after he fixed some shit. that's why he's often called a living god.

some treat the body or bones of sacred dead as holy relics.

Protestants think that's superstitious bull-crap and distracts from the actual teachings of Christ.

Since we're on the topic, the Imperial Cult aka the Adeptus Ministorum is based on the Black Legend. Propaganda spread by the English and Dutch against the Spanish back in the 1800's.

which is kinda badass.

My problem is that in many games we never see events revolving around Faith. We see the effects of religions on socity, and we see the many lovely lores and myths.

But in warhammer we have characters who struggle with their faith, embrace it, deny it, loose faith when confronted, or faith can give them the strength to carry on in a crisis.

That could make a few cool moments.

Who will win?

Every single one of the Ark Mechanicus are fully functioning STCs they just need to awaken one without forgetting what it is.
Also a Skitarii commander found sone perfect counter to tyranids that was promptly filed away on some forge world and forgotten

Unless that counter was some magical mcguffin that allowed them to fight the tyranids' numbers then it probably would only have slowed them down.

Hes talking about the other ones that are considered to unstable for that

Heres the big question
Should they progress the scenario?
While I love the idea of us not knowing what the fuck will happen/ everyone dies, I'm torn because I really fucking want to know who wins the biggest fight fucking ever

It was some tactic that prevented them from landing on the planet in the first place.

>Orks end game is endless war
They already won

you mean no Cook, Serve, Delicious Corpse-Starch making game that doesnt end because your a servitor, with your soul forever trapped within you grotesque corpse, mindlessly making soilent green.

smash, grind, eat it and dont complain you heretic scum!

As long as their ships could hold out, maybe it would work.
But it's not on on the scale of effectiveness the Celestial Orrey would have against the Tyranids, it could direct the tyranid swarm because it'd have to choose between hibernation and taking another route.

Their endgame is conquering the galaxy, that's what Gork and Mork demand from them.

>What's the most fucked up thing in the Warhammer 40k universe?

All of it. It's kind of the point.

>Why isn't any of it in the games?

You can only put so many parts of 40k in one single game.

If their endgame is conquering the galaxy and Gork and Mork intends for that to happen, their gods can incite a galaxy wide WAAAAAAAAGH. They haven't.

if every orc united, orcs would be unstoppable

On Octavius, a record number of Orkz amassed, just recently, Ghazghkull has arrived, and he intends to make the largest WAAAAAAGH ever to be seen.
Keep in mind that the Orkz on Octavius have been locked with Hive Fleet Leviathan so long that their nobs are the size of a Warboss.

We will not see a galaxy wide WAAAAAGH or even a status quo altering WAAAAAGH till GW is moving 40k towards end times.

Ghazgkull is about to start one.

It's just a hint of things to come :^)

Find out in 20 years or when the 40k sales start to bleed.

but it is

At best we will see the biggest WAAAAGH ever run into the biggest force Leviathan can throw at it. This way the status quo can be maintained and GW gets to show how strong the Nids or an huge WAAAAGH really is. Depends on how they feel like writing it.

i just want a major war between the necrons and one of the major factions
there's mostly just individual battles

that sounds really fucking stupid, if they have basic engineering and computer technology they could reverse engineer all that stuff

The necrons aren't united enough to wage a real fight outside of skirmishes. They have to be selective about their fights because their goal is to awaken the tomb worlds not piss off someone before they do it.

Can't wait, Fantasy End Times and their aftermath have been amazing.

As someone who has no clue to anything 40K Related and has no idea of the Lore behind it, I have just one question to ask.
What is like the most powerfull being in the Universe of 40K?
Like what is just so fucking strong that will basically destroy everything in it's path and it's just pure evil well maybe not evil just power wise thats all.
Anybody know?

the largest necron dynasty could easily pose a threat to the imperium, or even the tyranids if a new fleet emerged.

Gork and Mork are the most powerful beings they are to busy fighting each other most of the time to muck about in the galaxy

That is the problem. They don't. Imagine you wrote all your math solutions into a notebook and made the notebook sentient because why not. You rely on the notebook so much that you forgot how you derived the solutions but it doesn't matter that is what you have the notebook for. You simply continue to build on the solutions presented from the notebook. Next thing you know your notebook rebels against you so you destroy it naturally but along with it thousands and thousands of years of information and solution. Now you are fucked. Because no one knows how to fucking derive the solutions anymore. And trying to build on existing solutions is deemed illegal.

For factions?
The Tyranids are the strongest and most "evil" as they go on pure instinct
Either that or Chaos (demons) but even those had problems with the Tyranids wherever they popped up.
Necrons aren't completely evil but they are quite powerful.
Orkz just want to fight shit so the only time they'd be powerful or "evil" enough to steamroll everybody would be if they united.

As for beings, it depends entirely on what kind of powerful you want.
Power over physical reality?
The C'tan are unmatched.
Power over mind and warp fuckery?
The Emprah, Chaos Gods and Eldar Gods and Gork & Mork are all contenders.

Italian here.
The cult of Saints here is alive and well. There are some communities in the south where people, especially elderlies, will pray a Saint specifically for a kind of illness or misfortune.
Got a cold? You pray to the Saint patron of medicine? Need to take a plane? Pray to the Saint patron of travelling. Etc.
It's just plain polytheism at this point.

If the Chaos Gods metasized into physical space, could they take on C'tans?

The most insidious heresy of all.

Chaos Gods are warp gods, not star gods, they'd be immeasurably weaker outside of physical space.
The good thing for them though is that the C'tans are weak to warp stuff, that's why they started constructing pylons that stopped Abbadon from going anywhere for several thousand years

>Female and male

ugh, could they literally just, like................NOT?!?!?!?! ugh I cant even right now #smashthegenderbinary

Orthodox here.
Saints are still worshiped en masse. Have their own days and celebrations. I carry an icon of Saint Nicola because of my profession. Also helps that his church is in my hometown.

I only played dawn of war series and loved it.But I know very little about this setting, so is there any easy guide to warhammer 40k? So I don't have to read countless books

Lexicanum

Lexicanum for TL:DR, WH40K wikia for detailed descriptions.

>Picture of a heavy bolter actually doing damage.

And this is how you know it's Imperial propaganda.

Just use the wikis if all you want is a surface explanation.

>rats
>In a galactic setting

The threat of the skaven was because they have underground tunnels and cities that linked to every sewer of the Old World. They can literally pop out of your toilet to shank you.
No such thing in 40k. Genestealer cults may come close but they're just Hive Mind Akbar terrorists that soften planets for the Tyranids. Maybe you can count the sewers as the webway, but then the Dark Eldar has that "pop out of nowhere to fuck you up" schtick. Like the Dwarves, the Skaven doesn't work in 40k. I guess the closest thing to them are the Tyranids as luch as the Space Wolves are the closest thing to Dwarves (post Squats.)

What job do you do ?

Because 40K has Tyranids instead.

>Someone who's actually read the dune books.
This feels rarer than it should.

Tyranids

>The Tyranids eat and assimilate the Orks
>The Ork's WAAAGH!!! essence transformed the Tyranids from within.
>The Hive Mind and Gork and Mork fused together
>Perfect harmony of biological pinnacle as the Tyranid Ork hybrid rampages across the universe.

Both would win, user.
