What is the scariest thing in 40k?

we already had this thread

2 days until the launch of eternal crusade: how do I beat the tyranid lair with pugs?

Tzeentch. He knows all and sees all. He has already won. So confident in his victory he plays the game just for the sake of the game.

Shut the fuck up before I pull my FEMA and MY LEGS ARE OK threads

>He knows all and sees all
but he doesn't: he specifically threw a motherfucker into a pit because he couldn't risk himself to see everything

According to him

Yet, everything must change for the sake of change.

He knows there's no end game, but to play the game in his favor to stroke his ego.

Every Tzeentch worshipper has to know this.

Nurgle knows everything will come to him sooner or later.

Being taken from your bunk bed at night, paralysed by a needle pushed into your skin. Looking up in the dark, your eyes adjusting to see a few lithe slender Eldar in dark spiked carapace smiling at you, silently gliding out the room, dragging you with them as your bunk mates lay asleep, watching them disappear as you try to cry out for help

Will deathwing have genestealer cultists as the communists they are?
youtu.be/s8klnCoAEi0

I really wish for the Ork-centric WH40k vidya but it seems like no one is interested in doing that. Same with Chaos. Even with the Imperial Guard. It's always the fucking Space Marines.
Imagine what could've been. IMAGINE.
pick related is not WH40k related but it's still ork related

Tyranid invasion is spooky shit.

First the earthquakes, floods and natural disasters. Then a sense of impending doom from all life in the planet. Then the nightmares. A rising madness from an unseen peril grasps everyone. Then the strange cults around cities. People start doing strange things. One day people starts finding mutations all over the world. Plants start to change color, little animals become agressive and start having all sorts of mutations. Teeth come out of the fucking grass.

Before anyone can distress signal, the skies become black. Warp Drives are fucked. Nothing can come out or in the system. Acid spores start terraforming, and then the tendrils come from the clouds crashing into the planet.

In six months everything is biomass, eaten by the Tyranid main force.

These 3, As a nid player I agree theyre terrifying on a galactic scale, but DE and Chaos are scary on a more psychological personal level

Just the hybrids from what I saw

>tfw I really like the new fluff of the Newcrons and humans teaming up to stop the tyranids

Nids are my least favourite race so nice to see those mary sues get rekt by crons and humies working together

>tyranid
>mary sue
You what, mate?

Not that user but in the fluff they are more or less unstoppable, every victory merely slowing or delaying them. Even the silent king reckons a united necron front might not be enough

On table top however they fucking suck

The price of things on the GW store.

The Officio Assassinorum is pretty goddamn terrifying, particularly Culexus and Eversor. Which would you prefer, a screaming psychopath full of drug-induced rage and TUBES who explodes upon death, or a skellington in spandex who drives people insane just by existing?

...

>Pretty much 75% of their short stories are resounding victories where humans get curbstomped to show how innumerable and clever the nids are
>Purely on the offensive so can't really "lose" anything like a crucial planet, just have an attack wave halted or stopped
>All of the hype that nobody can stop them and they're the ultimate final boss of the setting
>All the other factions are in some kind of stalemate or fruitless conflict, except the nids who are steamrolling everything in the path of Leviathan
>Capable of intergalactic travel, which if you knew about astronomy is absolutely bonkers
>Probably ate entire galaxies before coming to destroy Milky Way
>Made of bio-material but still as tough as metal and armour

Totally the Sues of the setting

>considers tyranids mary sues
>likes newcrons

You are not following fluff change through the memes you see online, aren't you?

Kind of an odd question, but has it ever been mentioned what happens to non chaos human souls? I know Eldar either go to the network or slaanesh, but that got me wondering about humans. Do they go to khorne? I imagine he actually likes all the crusades and purging
Do they go become part of the star child?

>>Made of bio-material but still as tough as metal and armour

They aren't though...

they get thrown and butchered into the warp with the rest of raw soulstuff

They usually just fade away in the warp and become part of the warp energy since they aren't strong enough psykers to maintain their souls form

>>Made of bio-material but still as tough as metal and armour
seeker.com/hardest-organic-material-ever-designed-by-scientists-discovery-news-1766506692.html

they can likely incorporate inorganic matter into their shells speaking of possibilities

your list is shit and you would know it if you read a single codex about them: they lose more times than they win in their own books.
>inb4 it doesn't matter because I say so
convenient

Newcrons work because even with their goat tech and memelords like Trazyn, they're still just as much of a broken shitshow as most of the other factions.

Nids literally have no flaws by design. (Fluffwise)

I see, thanks

Is Deathwing going to be multiplayer-only, or will there be a campaign?

How many levels will it ship with?

Games Workshop

>What is the scariest thing in 40k?

We would be. We have god-like knowledge of the universe, coupled with the unwavering certainty that the Warp is merely the projection of one's own thoughts and feelings.

Consequently, you'd be immune to the warp, you'd be allowed into the Black Library, and you'd at least be an Astropath-tier psyker, if not one of the most powerful Psykers.

Thats not how it works at all. And everyone in 40k knows what the warp is and how it works off emotions.

You try not shitting yourself in fear and feeding the warp when an AIDs infested bloated maggot filled tank runs at you

wtf are you on about, stfu

How is Eternal Crusade? Is it open-world RPG-like or is it more like PlanetSide 2?

Imagine PS2

Now imagine its even more shit, buggy, laggy and filled with performance issues.

>Shuttle me closer, I must hit it with my knife

ewww

Wasn't there some super scary super powerful super weird thing that almost destroyed all of humanity until it was banished and then all records of it deleted?

Why is that Tau wearing an Eldar helmet

Are you seriously trying to convince me that the faction of actually endless, self-repairing, instantly communicating, uncorruptable by chaos, physics breaking robotic skeletons that were retconned from being slaves to being KANGZ, had killed almost-all-knowing gods, have the canonically stronger space fleet, with inertialess drives, ways to hack the webway, a plan to stop chaos, devices that hardcounter your supposed mary sues, an "alive" messianic figure, reasonable enough minds to ally with the posterboys, a plan to fix their only major fuck up and superweapons kept as pieces in museum are somehow not mary sues compared to generic space bugs because you don't know how big is the swarm?

underrated post

I hate this meme so much

The probe never even left the galaxy, it was in some distant star system inside the galaxy

The Harrowing. Shame it'll never be used or mentioned ever again.

Tau make me horny

People who genuinely find the Eldar interestingly.

for the greater kek

it's a lobby shooter with poor graphics and a melee system

Nice cosplay

just space ISIS

Not being alpharius

So are the cultists actually allied with Tyranids? Like they wouldn't get eaten?

are orkz always warmonger or do we know exceptions, when some of them trade with humans or even tau?

this robot knows what's up

the Thing about liking Eldar is similar to your average 90's Cartoon Villain who always ends up getting his shit kicked. At first you hate him but then you start loving him and hope that one day he will win at least once.

Also, no other Race looks as good as the Eldar when being defeated.

First post best post

>for the greater dick

no, either they offer themselves to be eaten, are eaten during the fight or the same instinct that tells some genestealers to flee from the hive fleets to infect other places tell them to do the same

Bro's I just got paid, s-should I?

retardation

we have cases for both: the orks will use the traded weapons against the traders shortly after the deal.

but there're borderline cases like the blood axes that in old fluff acted as mercenaries.

Why the long face ?

Hell fucking no.

Go buy miniatures from literally ANY other TB game. They are higher quality and cheaper.

>generic space bugs

Them being generic has nothing to do with not being the most ridiculous faction out there (except for the Chaos Gods,) just look at the Doom of Malan fucking Tai. Muh adaptation is indeed a lame shtick, but saying that it diminishes the Tyranids is like saying Superman isn't that great because his powers are 'generic.'

Oldcrons were the Mary Sues of the setting, but the Tyranids took that spot.

>because you don't know how big is the swarm?

Why not? It's 100% valid.

Can someone help me understand the relative power level tiers? Like what are the most powerful enteties? Is it the Chaos Gods? Where does the Emperor fit? And the Primarchs? Champion of Chaos Undivided?

why? it's not unheard of religious cults preaching suicide acts for supposed redemption after death and ww have the literary inspiration from lovecraft for humans worshipping eldritch beings to be eaten first.

>the orks will use the traded weapons against the traders shortly after the deal
kek
pretty smart way to get your money back and repeat with other traders

da ork iz kunnin too

The galaxy is so vast anything is possible. That's the whole idea of the setting.

I can imagine Orks are warmongering when roused by a boss, but if they're going about their own business a trade could very well be made.

I've never played a 40k game, or the tabletop, nor have read any books or anything, but I love learning bits and pieces of 40k lore through these threads.

If I want to delve deeper into 40k lore what's a good starting point?

Also, who is the most powerful singular being in 40k? Is it the Emperor? What about race?

how do i git gud at painting

The Horus Heresy series in order is pretty excellent

we have cases of tau outadapting the nids, the doom of malantai is a special character and not the norm and the great numbers are countered by them being cannon fodder, yes even the big guys as we have cases of eldar dueling and winning a dozen hive tyrants, special characters like the swarmlord jobbing left and right almost like the avatar of khaine and other factions like chaos and necrons pulling equally if not superior numbers relatively to the power level of the basic troop.

the tyranids are absurdly strong but they fall way behind chaos and newcrons if we look for mary suish characteristics.

the ironical thing is that it sounds like people continue trying to trade with them from time to time.

it's almost as bad as the tau attempting diplomacy with the tyranids.
multiple times.

>most powerful singular being

Really there's kind of a draw at the top between the chaos gods, though Khorne is for sure the strongest in direct battle, the others have special characteristics to make up the difference.

The Emperor is also probably about as powerful as a chaos god, but he is now confined to the golden throne through their meddling, because they feared his power.

Racewise the tyranids or the orkz are the strongest, just because numbers and the regeneration and difficulty of exterminating either race from a planet.

do it more

>That short story where the Tau engaged in a "cultural exchange" with the Dark Eldar

Go watch warhammerTV youtube channel and master Duncan"thin your paints" Rhodes will teach you

The emperor is a we not a He.

Do you even understand what a mary sue is ?

The we became the he.

The shamans combined into one like a megazord.

wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/The_Beast_Arises_(Novel_Series)
There is a currently ongoing 40k series called The Beast Arises. It takes place in 32k after roughly 1000 years of relative "peace" in the Imperium. The most powerful Ork Warboss that has ever existed appears at the head of a MASSIVE waaagh. The Orks become super organized under it's leadership and different sub-classes of Orks start appearing including a Ork diplomat who comes to Terra and essentially tells the High Lords that they are fucked.

Being hunted by the Ordo Hereticus.

THIN

But all of the shamans spirit inhabit the body of the Emperor

The stink of BO and virginity you get when going into a GW store. The ones near me as a kid (late 90s-early 2000s) in the summer made nurgle's rot smell like a glade plugin.

newcron designs look kind of cool too desu, the flashy shit certainly doesn't make them look as terrifying but it looks good most of the time.

Personally I just keep it as my headcanon that there are oldcrons that are just waking up here and there, scouring worlds, then there are certain overlords and similar entities that act like newcrons.

>every single Imperial Fist is killed

Fuck that series

>THE GREAT DEVOUR IS HERE

The scariest things in 40k is the eversor assassin.

Well they fixed Ork melee, threw the shitty system for unlocks out the window, nerfed the HB and introduced a ton of new cosmetics.
So if they continue at this pace, it might look semi-professional in 2 days time.

If i'd make an overlord design i'd make it wear a golden helmet with similar headwear that Anrakyr has, except angled backwards, with spines.

I'd also make the lord spam gauss shit so he's basically the best crowd controller in the entire galaxy

also better armor

If you are using more paint than water you are doing it wrong

Also, watch this guy youtube.com/watch?v=1iAGHbZ8pqg

Post heresy the workings of the Warp are well known since big E stopped crippling his own race.

The sheer size of the 40k universe.
Also a Vostroyan's language after he stubs his toe.

>What is the scariest thing in 40k?
assasination mission versus fucking ork in Battleship gothic armada

Scariest to face?
Enslavers
The Tyranids
Necrons.

What about a horror game where you play as a hiver trying to survive just prior to an tyranid invasion?

Definitely these fuckers, pic related.

>that moment the transcendant c'tan was unleashed and oneshotted a biotitan by just fucking touching it
>that moment is started burning the entire fucking city of tyranids and then fucked off to another planet, cleansing the tyranids en masse before landing on one of the necron solar mirrors and atomizing the tyranids and imperial buildings almost literally instantly

...

And people say Necrons aren't mary sues

Honestly, in my opinion, scariest thing has got to be the daemonculaba. What the fuck where they thinking?

I thought it was retarded during the 2nd edition, then I bought a second-hand Predator tank, some Necromunda Goliath gangers and converted them into a makeshift genestealer cult and suddenly it was fucking awesome.
I filed off the mohawks, painted on some head tattoos and converted some of the heavy weapons into rule-friendly guns using Imperial Guard bitz, and painting that tank to a rough-handed approximation of my Tyranid horde's colours was so much fun.
I even got the green stuff out and modeled an eviscerated Ultramarine on the front with his guts spilling down the front, nailed in place with a big Rambo combat knife.
I haven't touched the game since then, but those were heady days indeed. I grew to love my retarded genestealer cult.
I just wish I had the foresight to take photos.
I miss the 90s.

Noone said that, they literally are.

Canonically they are the most powerful race.
If they all woke up at the same time it's end game for all races

The Iron Warriors can be some twisted sons of bitches.

it's a reality warping c'tan being let loose
what the fuck did you expect?
It only helped them fuck the tyranids for long enough that they could glass the entire system by detonating a gas giant and then letting the necron Starflame do its technoblabble
the end result was the loss of like the entire imperial force in the system, 90% of the nids and pretty much no necron losses (most if not all were repaired)

necrons are strong on an individual level because they have the tech anyway, they got boosted by reality gods so they aren't really meant to be balanced, still get fucked by space marines sometimes though.

>anno 41000
>feeling fear

>not being fear incarnate

yes they can

>Only a madman knows no fear. A warrior knows what fear is, he feels it in his stomach, he understands fear better than any other mortal can. What makes us strong is that we have conquered fear, overcome it not once but many times, over and over again, until the process has become instinctive. but no matter how many battles you fight and how many victories you win, your fear will never completely leave you. Learn to live with that fear. Learn to master your fear. But never forget that there are things in this universe that even you cannot face and live, abominations so terrible that their very appearance will sear the flesh from your face and shrivel your eyes. Such things cannot be fought, and to confront them would be nothing but a futile waste of life. In those situations remember your vows to serve the Emperor, and remember also that you serve him best alive and not sacrificed upon the altar of vain glory.

Because you were curious.

The thing the tyranids are running from

The scariest thing is what lurks deep in the webway where even those who fearlessly face Chaos dare not enter.

/thread, everyone go home

it hasn't even been confirmed that they're running from anything

GW's prices.
Also RIP Dark Emissary, you were a cool duder.

That's not really how it worked in novel. The women had to be cut open to get the babby out, they were occasionally reusable, even.

Being a psyker.

>art by a neo-nazi faggot edgelord
Hell, even Shadman would be better at this point.

If its not a 9 year old with a horsecock then shadman dont care

So like the AphlaLegion Harrowing??? Cuz I always wondered about that event

For me the scariest is Chaos because of the eternal damnation thing, like you fight them and win, you just empower them then when you die your soul is flayed for all eternity, or you join them and are more fucked for all time, there just is no way around chaos consuming your soul, probably why so many souls swim around the astronomicon

That thing cleaned more house then the Sanguinor that appeared twice.

they might be

Do they still have penis insepection day in 40k? if so that.

Don't you have an obvious trap to walk in? Maybe taking a good chunk of your legion with you?

Tyranids lose like 90% of the battles they have in the fluff.

Perfectly accurate

Dark Eldar are so silly. Their "must torture to survive" lore is an idiotic asspull.

Trolley problem: the race. Rly maeks one think.

I can imagine ork defender and ork accuser bringing weapons to the courtroom
the winner is right

Souls loyal to the Emperor are claimed to unite with his spirit on death. There are further theories that the combined souls he has taken into him have turned him into some kind of psychic putty-ball, and he is morphing into something else because of it

The thing is, is not necessary, which ends with the occasional Dark Eldar with standards saying "screw this" and they became Exodites, Corsairs or even Craftworlders.

Don't forget that their shit only works because they BELIEVE in it.

Orks fight with the power of imagination, its beautiful.

Heresy though, but beautiful.

orks never stop to grow
the oldest and rarest bosses who survived many wars can reach Carnifex size

According to fucking Tzeentch.

Sanest, but also disciplined and devoted to getting shit done.

Also only Khornates that use psykers called Gore Mages.

Only thing said Gore Mages do however is turning their own into wolf-like daemonhosts.

To this day I'm not sure why the Blood Pact is considered Khornate. I've read all the Gaunt's Ghosts novels and I don't remember if they were ever stated to be devote to just one god instead of just being a very organized fighting force.

The only thing AoS is good for are the bitz.

It's a bad setting and even thirty years of fleshing it out won't save it.

Unless they'll retcon it into a world-wide crack vision the Old World suffered. So much in fact even Archaon would simply turn 180 and go back to Norsca rethink if he really was supposed to be destined to become Everchosen.

Well they do worship Khorne, but the guy in charge of them is a disciplinarian.

Who said mindless slaughter needs to be chaotic and not planned?

>Well they do worship Khorne, but the guy in charge of them is a disciplinarian.

How nice of him.

Will WH40K ever end

Depends on the scale.

In any case, anyone hyped for Deathwing?

The necrons are fine, but the Ctan are retarded and sort of irrelevant to the games lore.

When you think about it, if the necrons had already made machines capable of housing the star gods, why did they need the star gods to transfer their souls into machines?

Fuck off nurgle has already won.

The same thing as in our universe, Enthropy. One day everyone you love will die. One day not even the dust of the planet you were born on will remain. One day every star in the sky will go out and there will be nothing but unchanging darkness, all your action, are your beliefs, all that makes you is truly pointless, because the ever looming shadow of nurgle, the very laws of nature act against the very act of being. Not even atoms will remain, protons too will eventually decay. Ethropy will kill everything and leave an unchanging nothingness, not even black holes or the warp will remain. All it will take is time, and nurgle is a patient god.

Does the plot to WH40K ever advance?

Will any faction actually ever get considerably weaker or stronger, or will it always be "stagnant humans, randomly waaghing orks, Abbadon and his stupid heretic fucking chaos marines, etc. etc."

Idk man. Having hands and using weps just cheapens and takes away that inhuman feel that most of them have for me. Just seems lame to me

Pick up the Horus Heresy series, starting with Horus Rising until Galaxy in Flames (the third book)

Read all of the Eisenhorn series after that.

Eldars, I'm not even kidding. I know, it's all because of their pride, indolence and placing their egos above everything else, but... I really feel bad for them
>civilization collapsed
>on the brink of extinction
>minds and souls slowly taken away

Most people either don't know, or pretend otherwise to play them up, but the Chaos Gods do not dictate the universe, the universe dictates them. The Human species are older than most of the Chaos Gods. Pretty sure Nurgle is old as hell, though.

wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Main_Page

I'd recommend to start by reading up on the main factions.

Thanks bud

Tyranids have used swords forever, ya goof

They mostly deserve it. The Eldar themselves are the cause of their own suffering.

Swords are more effective than claws in this instance. If a Tiger could use a gun, it would.

Storm of Iron was great

umbra are pretty freaky. can manipulate shadows and use them as weapons.

All they wanna due is have another galaxy-spanning murder-orgy.
Fuck the knife-ears.

are you triggered by them using guns too? idiot. nids have used swords, and have had hands, since their introduction in 1995 or so.

Daemons.

More like they are tyranids. They don't have any real free will, they're just another extension of the hivemind. They don't give a shit if they get eaten or not, it's all biomass to the swarm.

Why are the Imperial Guard so fucking manly?

This upsets me greatly

What happens to somebody after they die in the 40K setting?

>When you think about it, if the necrons had already made machines capable of housing the star gods, why did they need the star gods to transfer their souls into machines?

I don't see the dilemma.

>c'tan reveal the secrets of biotransference, because it is a trick so they can snack down on all those tasty souls that get left behind during the process
>necrons are now robots
>necrons now kill all the old ones
>necrons then kick the shit out of the c'tan, too
>c'tan can't be killed, so the necrons take them apart and stick them into tesseract vaults to be used as weapons/energy

There's no indication that the tesseract vaults and biotransference use the same process.

LOOK AT THIS FUCKING GUARDSMAN.
He's spent months fighting a grueling war in which his enemies are demigods allied with daemons, and now he's found himself in the closest thing to Hell he's ever known. He probably wasn't even supposed to get teleported up to the arch-traitor's battle barge in the first place, and just ended up in the wrong place at the worst possible time.
Somehow he's survived horrors beyond comprehension to make his way to the very bridge of Horus' flagship. He saw a veritable angel call upon Horus to answer for his crimes, and he saw that angel die as messily as any guardsman. His Emperor - who he fervently believes is a god incarnate, even if he's not supposed to - lies mortally wounded, and Horus, perhaps, has taken a moment to gloat before he strikes the killing blow.
His armor is slightly more effective than tissue paper, his weapon slightly more powerful than a flashlight. A single electrified claw from Horus' weapon is bigger than his entire body. He stands before a being infused by the dark gods' with incalculable power, that can and will obliterate his soul with no more effort than it would take him to swat a gnat. Nothing he can do could possibly make a difference.
He could run. He could turn his weapon on himself. He could give in to the insidious whispers that echo from the ship's corridors into his mind.
Ollanius Pius does the duty his Emperor requires of him. He dies standing and holds the fucking line.

Sometimes I start thinking that AoS might turn out ok after a few years of building up the fluff and then I remember that they killed off slaneesh.
Fuck you GW, he may have been a drug addled tranny, but he was our drug addled tranny

Depends on race/allegiance. Most normies just fade away in the warp.

Good post

>Guess I'll continue to file them as non-aligned
THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS

Fucking everybody loved wingboy, he was practically big E's favorite son. That's like half the reason he warpfucked Horus when he did, he learned that he had killed Sanginius

Go fuck yourself, Nurgle is Our Guy.

Malal.

And then he gets retconned into a fucking perpetual.

Emperor is our guy, shitboot.

So is anything gonna come from the lore on the higher ups in the Imperium making a deal with the Dark Eldar to repair the Golden Throne?

>Implying

For all the stupid, ridiculous shit I've read in 40k, that retcon irritates me more than just about anything.
Talk about not fucking understanding the point of the original story, holy shit.

>very little dark age of technology/age of strife lore
fucking why? it's easily the most interesting part of 40k.

The only surviving bastion of that is Mars which the imperium WANTS YOU to believe is a super advanced forge world, but in actuality is really just 90% abandoned metropolises patrolled by killer deathbots that would shred a primarch into ribbons.

its called the dark age for a reason.

LOVE IS A BATTLEFIELD

The almighty Retcon is true scourge to all...

gw can expand that all they want tho, because they aren't limited to the viewpoint of what's generally know.

this is how we know that the thunder warriors weren't all dead when Terra was united and while everybody was distracted with the great crusade he secretly tracked down all the survivors and had them assassinated.

>he gets retconned into a fucking perpetual.
please tell me this is some fucking lie

Never heard of this

Link to lexicanum?

Mate, in Horus Heresy it was revealed that aliens ordered the assassination of MLK Jr.

I wish I could tell you that it was ALL a lie - but I can't.

yeah apparently now being brought back from death gives the slim chance of becoming a prep, much like kharne not being super loved by choas but lol prep now too!

HERESY

The Emperor smiles upon him, can you say the same?

Getting captured by the Dark Eldar.

Chaos is pussies compared to the Dark Eldar

It's not. It's a Golden age precisely because it was mostly an age of peaceful or otherwise unchallenged human expansion with the help of robotic automatons governed by AI while humans focused on scientific and artistic endeavors.

1d4chan.org/wiki/Adeptus_Mechanicus#Why_Everything_is_so_Grimdark

the men of iron aren't dead. the people on Mars hid from them and the Emperor knew better than to waste his armies trying to get rid of the menace.

Imagine a post-apocalyptic far future cyberpunk hellscape. Cities that stretch for hundreds of miles with towering skyscrapers claw at the hellish, inhospitable sky. Buildings from a bygone utopia are riddled with holes. Once beautiful buildings have been eroded by the harsh hellwinds, spewing mangled rebar and crumbling concrete into view. Huge pockets of deadly radiation make the already uninhabitable concrete jungles just that more deadly. Hotspots so intense every cell in your body is liable to liquefy.

In these vast metropolises lie untold advanced secrets now lost to man. Many are corrupted, or intentionally redisigned to produce a malicious product. What is found tells a story of a civilization more advanced than you could have ever imagined. Most of the technology seems like magic. Very often parties of cyborg monks are sent into these in deathscapes to find the untold treasure left by the ancient humans. If they are lucky, they'll find some garbage, indecipherable blueprint that's 100% useless.

If they are unlucky, they'll happen upon the gruesome remains of their predecessors, maimed by some unknown assailant (They are not aware of the frequency of these patrols).

If they are your average party, A whirring rusted monstrosity will saunter out of a dark alleyway, chirping and stuttering in a language that has been long lost to humanity. The monks may have anticipated this and brought along a meltagun. It will useless scuff the rusted plates of an unknown alloy, and the heretical abomination against the machine god will flash it's eyes red before reducing the intruders into a fine red paste.

Wait, Kharn is a perpetual now too? He doesn't get brought back because he is the uncontested grand champion of Khorne?

That was nice to watch.

Khorne. At least in 40k. There is constant war and he is currently the most powerful Chaos God because of it. He could tear the Galaxy apart in a single motion if he wanted to. But he contents himself with just cutting up bit by bit whenever he has a tantrum.

>He doesn't want to hear stories of Iron Men vs Eldar Empire
fucking nerd

>He could tear the Galaxy apart in a single motion if he wanted to.

Sure he would, if only he wasnt scared to death of the Big E.

Nah Khorne isn't actually that powerful.

Gork and Mork individually would make the combined power of the ruinous powers comparable to that of a guardsmen.

Chaos is allowed to exist in the warp because Gork and Mork are too busy in eternal conflict against each other to remove the pesky abominations against everything cunning and brutal.

There isn't anything like that and never has been. The Tyranids were attracted to the Milky Way by a beacon called the Pharos being overloaded by an Ultramarine Sergeant during a battle that took place during the Horus Heresy.

Aint the Horus Heresy series just grand?

Do you think the Necrons try courtship rituals to feel alive?

Force their women to dance for them?

But which one is brutally cunning? Which is cunningly brutal?

What does each mean?

Heres how those events went. The human AI tried to attack Eldar Outposts with Men of Iron and the Eldar defense systems outsmarted and destroyed them all. It would literally just be robots marching and shooting each other until one side decided to give up.

How is that interesting?

Lovely to see that they put their asses on a rolling belt as they approached the fucking release date.
Now all we need is more people to slaughter in the name of the dark gods, of course.

Fuckoff shill. Thought the game is now actually playing fine and is plenty of fun it wont be anything like they promised for a long time

Mork is brutally cunning. As in, he's extremely cunning, to the point that it's brutal.

Gork is cunningly brutal. He's extremely brutal, to the point that it's cunning.

Regular boyz and most warbosses tend to worship Gork.

Weirdboyz and kommandoz tend to worship Mork.

It's not going to be good until at least 3 months from release, so chill, yeah?

I was reading up some Inquisition backstory because I like reading fluff and came upon this fact.

Two Ork Warbosses were waging so much fucking war against each other that they were unknowingly opening a rift into Khorne's domain. The early Inquisition was sent to bludgeon them to death with the least amount of blood spilled in order for a dimensional rift in the rivers of blood to not let Khorne's shit through.

>le shill meme

I'll probably run Embolden and Destructor on the warlock. With the DA I hope they make the special guns customizable so I can use Asuryan's Fury and not feel like I'm gimped with only an extended mag.

Ready to reap some tears as Eldar if they dont nerf them for some stupid reason.

fuck, I don't know, living in the 40k universe?

I thought about it one day and realized I literally wouldn't choose to be ANYONE in the 40k universe. Every fucking job sucks and involves horrible conditions where you just wait (and pray) for death or devoting your whole life like a fanatic to some stupid shit.

The 40k universe is the least fun universe in existence, I would much rather just sit down and pretend I'm there, than actually be there.

Nah.

If the Men of Iron were invincible then the Eldar couldn't have beaten them in the first place.

Lord Primarch, I am Deathwing

That is literally just a Shoggoth

There are well governed worlds where things aren't unbearably awful, though those are depressingly rare. On the other hand there are entire worlds dedicated to peace and relaxation where survival is so easy that human natives living there become more relaxed and calm on a genetic level.

If I made you tell me about The Fallen would you die?

Y-you too

idk being an avid follower of slaneesh sounds okay

It would be extremely heretical

Just read up on Mars or read Mechanicum. It's been full of crazy shit since before the Emperor came to bring them into the Imperium. Vast underground complexes are full of all the discarded, failed, or escape spooky science experiments they have been doing since the age of darkness. These range from rogue AI to flesh abominations mindless and not

I remenber something similar happened near Cadia in the Deathwatch Codex. Turns out one of the Warbosses was actually Tuska Daemon-killa.

You're a pretty big Legion

beep boop

Dammit, I read it in his TTS voice.
Nah, he just got outsmarted by Artemis.

Arguably Slaanesh because of the nature of obsession and the like includes the other gods fixation on their own sphere.

>SHUT YOUR FACE BELIAL!

Why is The Emperor Native American?

Oh yeah, I was reading up on the Deathwatch instead of the Inquisition, messed up there.
Been meaning to get into the Forge of Wars and the Skitaari books, they any good?

For the Emperor.

...

>Forge of Wars

I think you mean Forge of Mars, and yeah they're really good. Probably some of the best Mechanicus books out there.

explain

The Eldar DIDN'T beat them.
>Crappy robots
Non-combat Men of Iron that only existed to tend to geothermal furnaces slaughtered 14,000 space marines.

several million actual combat oriented Men of Iron would have literally zero problem marching straight into a tomb and ripping the power sources inside into tiny little shreds before promptly brutalizing every single necron on that world until their necrodermis loses it's regeneration capabilities, followed by rounding up every last one that even LOOKS like a necron lord and throwing it into the sun.

Mankind had a phyrric victory over the Men of Iron when terminator armor was just a deep space mining rig and not an actual combat suit and Emperor class titans were thrown around even more Space Marines are in 40k.

You act like I didn't specifically address this. It's not gonna do jack shit against an alloy hardened against subatomic manipulation mounted on a platform reinforced with void shields.

FUCK YOU AND FUCK YOUR REFERENCES ASMODAI!

>The Eldar DIDN'T beat them

They did. Beast Arises confirms this.

I keep messing up today. How many entries are into the FoM series? It's different to the Skitaari series I assume?

>Biel-Tan is now in the Tau "shoot to kill" list along Orks, Nids, and DEldar.

They really didn't.

Excerpts or GTFO.

>How many entries are into the FoM series?

3 books.

>It's different to the Skitaari series I assume?

I have no idea.

?

He's Turkish.

I'm so fucking mad at this goddamn

Do you have anything asserting your claim that humanity ever defeated prefall Eldar in any meaningful engagement? Or that 14,000 marines were killed by Men of Iron?

...

And yet it can be cucked by the soulless.

Unironically this.

>somehow this is acceptable
god fucking damn it.

>Our people ruled the stars when this world was ruled by reptiles. Many came against us – the soulless ones, the krork at the apex of their might, in comparison to which this latest folly is laughable, the cythor and a thousand other races so terrible your intellects could not contemplate them. Even your own ancestors and their unliving legions at the so-called height of their mastery. We defeated them all.

The Necron and Eldar, at the pinnacle of their power, have always been shown to be superior to pretty much everyone else (except maybe Old Ones).

The Necrons crafted miniature dimensions, manipulated time at a whim, and defeated and enslaved beings that could alter reality itself.

The Eldar controlled the movements of entire solar systems, and created worlds out of nothing for the pleasure of a single individual.

Mankind was only allowed to prosper and flourish in the wake of these empires, never alongside them. Men of Iron may be incredibly advanced, but if they were as invincible as you claim, men would have conquered the galaxy long before the 41st millennium.

Now sit down.

anatolian =! turkish

please recommend me some good 40k books.

Fun ones, ones that don't take a huge knowledge of backstory to get into. I've read a couple I found just because I didn't have anything else to read at the time. I read the first space wolf omnibus and liked it because it started at the very beginning of the creation of a space marine and the stories were fun reads on their own. Then I read "angels of darkness" and had a bad time because it required some backstory I didn't have at the time.

>-YOUR RACE
>-YOUR SUBRACE

Fuck off heretic

>Or that 14,000 marines were killed by Men of Iron
warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Assault_of_the_Tempest_Galleries
4/5ths of 20,000 survived the entry, only 1,000 remained after they got the fuck out of dodge.

>Do you have anything asserting your claim that humanity ever defeated prefall Eldar in any meaningful engagement?

Neither ever had a meaningful engagement. Flashpoints at best, but at the peak of each race a flashpoint would dwarf any full scale war in 40k.

Besides that, nothing has ever been elaborated on from that era and everything that HAS is 99% of the time intentionally unreliable narration. It's called the "Dark Age of Technology" for a reason.

There's little reason to assume that the Men of Iron weren't 100% rape machines when mankind only survived through pure unadulterated luck. A shame the warp storms would happen shortly after.

>Fun ones

Ciaphas Cain series, by Sandy Mitchell.

>men would have conquered the galaxy long before the 41st millennium

Nevermind the fact as to exactly HOW did humanity managed to beat them if they were even more powerful than War in Heaven Necrons.

Am I allowed to play as space wolves or does that automatically brand me as a furry?

This is my always my greatest fear.

>implying there's a human option in EC
Kek, loyalist cuck. M-muh angles of deff amirite?

These fuckers

So Tzeentch is GW?

Yes, you are allowed to play SW without being a furry, but only if you never play Wolf Priest.

Yes, they're kinda good, the only problem is they've got no fur or any kind of viking shit, that's pretty annoying, at least fluffwise.

Those are clearly stated to be defense automatons though and they numbered in the millions.

something said in the first person is not a feat. not in the slightest.

Also we literally don't know jack shit about Dark Age mankind other than Emperor class titans were not only standard issue but also extremely numerous in every PDF, the Baneblade was a light recon vehicle, Terminator Armor was used for mining.

>men would have conquered the galaxy long before the 41st millennium.
They fucking did. The great crusade was literally the Emperor reuniting all the planets mankind had before the Eldar fucked so much that they literally created a physical manifestation of sex and mankind got cutoff from one another as demons and other warp spawn fell out of the sky.

All of that progress despite Eldar being the ONLY xeno race who were hostile to mankind. That completely goes against your own point, as if the Eldar were capable of stopping Mankind they would have. Because they fucking tried. Instead they got crushed underneath mankind's robots and are still pissy about it 30,000 years later, so much so that they care enough to lie.

he's a fucking turk.

Didn't the Tau defeated Slaanesh

A few days into the battle it wasn't Space Marines fighting them anymore, as they reprogrammed the ones they managed to kill and turned them against the others. Followed by the computer in command of these automatons realizing this and pumping them out by the thousand.

>defense automatons
they were maintenance drones. literally described as service-automata. "Defenders" is being used literally, not as a title.

How much do you want to bet this is the origin of the halo devices?

Is he real?

Hopefully.

I just want a pterodactyl axe.

They got confused because the warband of cultists they fought were chanting his/her name and the Tau assumed that that was the name of their inmediate leader, who they killed.

>a feat

What?

>They fucking did

No, mate. Mankind existed alongside numerous alien species, the Eldar being the greatest among them. There is no source that you can post which supports the idea that the mankind conquered the Eldar.

>All of that progress despite Eldar being the ONLY xeno race who were hostile to mankind

Many xeno cultures were hostile to mankind, they just couldn't do anything about it. After the warp storms started up and cut off all communication is when some of them (not all) decided to destroy or enslave many human worlds.

>if the Eldar were capable of stopping Mankind they would have

They didn't need to stop them. They were a minor annoyance that could be safely ignored.

>Instead they got crushed underneath mankind's robots

You'll have to post a source for this.

Face it, bud. Before Slaanesh, the Eldar were the preeminent power of the galaxy. Everything supports this - the size of their empire, the descriptions of their technology, and the fact that even thousands of years later, when they are barely a husk of what they once were, they're still a player on the galactic stage.

And by all accounts the Necrons were equal to them at the height of their empire.

Men of Iron are hot shit ONLY when compared to mankinds level of technology. Never to Necrons/Eldar. After all, they're simply robots. Anrakyr could probably just order them to start fucking each other up anyways.

Other than the Baneblade comment where the fuck do you Dark Age fanboys get your information from? Each time it's more and more ridiculous claims.

You kidding bro?
Guardsmen are only human in a galaxy that hates them pitted against demigods and aliens and aberrations beyond perception
And the Guard have one job
They hold the line
And they have held the line for 10,000 years
Guardsmen are best faction

Did you know that Dorne is in the Imperial Palace?

The Baneblade thing doesn't make sense either. It's still a relatively slow and fuck huge tank. Being used for as a recon vehicle of any sort makes zero sense.

One thing I've always wondered is where the void dragon falls in all of this power level wise. And if malal was around would he be the most powerful god?

Haemonuculli are never to be fucked with.

>no sweet pelts for your armor or norse themed shit

THAT'S THE ENTIRE POINT OF ME WANTING TO PLAY SPACEWOLVES

REEEEE

He's somewhat right about Terminator armor.

It's a mix of designs and technology - dreadnought, normal SM armor, and hazardous environment suits. But it was created during the Great Crusade, NOT the Dark Age of Technology.

And the claim that Termie armor was used for mining is outright false. He's just trying to make it look like the best Imperium tech was commonplace and average during the DAoT. Ignore him.

I meant the Baneblade being a scout tank is something that is always thrown around but I have never heard of Imperators being common place and Terminator armor being used for mining.

they're shiny and glossy
that's all you get

They hold the lines by digging in and waiting for the death, times a billion because they're expendable as fuck.

I mean, emperors blessing upon those lads and all, but fuck that I wouldn't want their job.

It's the faction for people who don't like 40k. Which is a surprising number of the players.

>Kharn
>uncontested champion of Khorne
I mean, he is tough, and for sure a fun guy to hang around, but is he really the champion of Khorne? You've got fucks like Angron and Doombreed hanging around, they'really definitely stronger. Or can a daemon prince not also be a champion of khorne?

You know what I don't like about warhammer 40k lore, it's that everything is the most powerful.

Bolters are the most powerful, they fire bullets the size of grenades that shred armor and blow entire limbs off. Space marine armor is the most powerful, its unpenetrable, like a fucking tank on legs. Chainswords are the most powerful, they can cut through anything and rend flesh like a motherfucker. Necrons are the most powerful, their fuck loads of them buried all over the place and their arrival is swift and deadly. The chaos gods are the most powerful, they control the warp and have all these spooky supernatural powers. imperial guardsmen are the most powerful, they held the line for 10,000 years.

Is anything in the warhammer 40k universe just "kind of okay"

I want the "Tau are weeaboo" meme to die

Eldar are confirmed the most weeaboo faction
Taur are chinks

He is actually Khorne's chosen.

There is a short story where Abaddon was about to kill Khorne when a Bloodthirster intervened to prevent it.

I don't think its purely a matter of strength, but also a matter of how well you live by that gods 'rules'.

Is this from the same guy that made these?

Probably.

Cool.

Nah, the harrowing that came out of something they called the echoing vault which was made of dust and magnetism. Some kind of awful creatures that drove everything mad and they had to use a combination of ancient tech and sorcery to stop it. I think it was connected to the Komus tyrant star thing. It's an interesting mystery.

What would Ork shitposting look like?

And then some Eldar harlequins started rampaging through the palace five minutes later.

It was a bad time for the Imperium.

aren't harlequins suppossed to be not cunts generally speaking

The laughing god is kind of a dick.

Harlequins are as cunty as they need to be to stop Chaos/Necrons.

In this case one was trying to get to the Golden Throne to tell the Emperor not to forget that Chaos is the main threat, not some shitty Orks.

That makes more sense, ok.

Tyranids vs necrons, who wins in an all out war?

Have the two ever fought?

>tfw Emps is reclaiming rightful Terra clay

Tyranids go out of there way to avoid Necron worlds.

With how hard the Tyrannids counter Chaos, I'm surprised that they don't just beeline into the Eye. If they managed to stumble on to a Daemon world that generates unlimited amount of biomass, they could be snacking on Nurgle's fat folds and eat the universe from inside out.

Most likely Necrons. Their technology gives advantages that can even the field against the huge numbers Tyranids bring.

A lot of it depends on how much of the dynasty has been woken up and brought to full strength. The Sautekh, for instance, would probably stomp anything less than a Behemoth or Leviathan sized hive fleet. But smaller dynasties would be in trouble.

What the Hell is this?

hell star, not 40k

> The Tyranid's Shadow in the Warp overtook a Great Unclean One.

What the ACTUAL fucking fuck!?

Two necrons, Anrakyr and Zarathusa, were in the cryptus system when Leviathan arrived.
Since they didn't want Zara's tomb world eaten by nids (It had living shit on it) they made a deal with the blood angels and led a couple of strike forces with them to secure the necron artifact. alled the "Starflame" and the solar mirrors

Keep in mind that the Necrons didn't even bring in their entire atmy, just a tiny fraction
Every necron that died didn't really die
A cryptek got fucked because he was arrogant though
in any case, the necrons casually cut through the nids, anrakyr casually soloed a hive tyrant with like 5 attacks
Zara threw a transcendant c'tan of the burning one at the nids.
it vaporized everything but the largest nids in a few seconds, exploded a biotitan by touching it and then fucked off around the system at FTL because Zara needed it to help some Blood Angels
then he recalled it to a necron solar mirror where it atomized the nids and human structures on the thing
after anrakyr put his pieces into place he ended up atomizing 90% of the tendril and a few imperial forces, zara could now retake the system
only special thing the imperials had was a sanguinor

> The warp feels the Nids overtaking it.

it is NOT a good pain

What other fictional universes have humans as the best race?

>literally who
:^)

One of Tyranids' greatest strength is they can replenish their ranks by consuming more biomass, which includes their own dead. So even if they lose a battle, they can come back full strength with none of the previous weakness.

Necrons' basic weapons de-atomize living tissues, which means no biomass. Like said, Tyranids avoid Necrons if they can help it.

The fanbase.

Hivemind is literal incarnation of mindrape. Even basic synaptic commands DDOS the shit out of psykers.

Reminder all the Scions regiments are sleeper agents

>Actually alive
>implying the GOD EMPEROR OF MANKIND is dead

...

Are these guys normal humans? Because form what I hear a normal human wouldn't even be able to scratch a Space Marine, let alone fight alongside them against fucking Chaos.

>being scared of communism
>being this Ameridumb

Normal humans with hotshot lasguns, bruh.

>AP 3

Is that the fucking Alpha Legion?

Trolling the ultra marines no less

>tfw when you fall out of the sky and kick the shit out of some tyranids in close combat
glorious brother

So they don't have any form of genetic manipulation at all? Wouldn't that make them still die if a Chaos Marine so much as sneezed in their general direction? Does their gun make THAT much of a difference? And if it does then why not arm the entire IG with it and faceroll everything?

its moreso their training, tactical insertions and general being in the right place at the right time.
if IG are mall cops, kasrkin are the SWAT
in most of the novels though they spend their time desperately holding an objective before dying to a man just before the cavalry rolls in

> The Hydra dudes are best buds with the Ultramarines, and are allowed in their innermost territories because of how much the Ultramarines love them.
Literally Alpha Legion spies.

yes if the gun manages to punch through the armor and burn the insides it will kill a marine

it would obviously not be a shot taken 6 feet from the marine because he would still probably sprint over and break the man in half before dying

You never seen Catachans then

Or the other non cadian IG

>I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream is almost contained within 40k
>I assumed all the shit to with AI and Iron Men was skynet terminator schlock

>Wouldn't that make them still die if a Chaos Marine so much as sneezed in their general direction?

That's why Storm Troopers aren't used in shitty trench fighting warfare with a billion other guys. They're sent on high risk, quick insertion missions against specific targets. Their training, discipline and equipment can carry them through missions that would kill 'normal' IG squads.

But that doesn't mean they're going to go full operator mode, kill an entire warband and save the fucking day - Storm Trooper squads have VERY high mortality rates. Casualties on a mission are expected, especially against badass motherfuckers like Chaos Space Marines.

>Does their gun make THAT much of a difference?

Killing the target in 1-2 shots vs 3-4 can be the difference between failure and defeat.

>why not arm the entire IG with it and faceroll everything?

Expensive, and would mostly be wasted on your average Guardsman shitter.

Hellguns for the best, fuck the rest.

also, tempestus wouldnt be used for fighting chaos marines directly- they would be used for say, if a planets governor declared for chaos, but there wasnt a large scale chaos demon manifestation or some other shit, the tempestus could be used to do a lightning strike raid on the governors residence, toppling his personal guard, deposing the govenor, and slowing the worlds organised descent into Chaos.

Edgy 40k seinen anime when?

Never because OVAs are dead.

THE BEST

>mfw humanity could literally BTFO everyone if they could find a STC

How did the Imperium forget EVERYTHING?

THE GREATEST

> mfw humanity could literally BTFO everyone if they told the Adeptus Mechanicus there was a STC in the warp.

ftfy.

eldar master race

they literally are

I don't know...

I prefer them as subs.

>>reproduce via spores and are impossible to get rid of without torching the entire planet
You only have to burn the corpses. The Valhallans learned that and have since recovered.

But there probably actually are, space hulks and whatnot

Forgot pic. They figured this out even before the knowledge of the spores was widespread, to great successful.

That series violates so much of the lore its disgusting. More so that it is on-going.

you mean the dark eldar? yeah those fuckers are way worse then chaos cultists
