fascinating how Guy Haley really went out of his way to make sure the reader knows how monstrous and repulsive Konrad Curze is (the constant stench of blood and decay, the twitching, general insanity, unwashed... everything, the whole cannibalism thing..) and especially how much worse it's gotten towards his death.

AND YET.

he makes sure the reader also knows that "underneath all that grime he is beautiful" - this is mentioned multiple times, including how white and nicely even his teeth are.

and don't get me wrong, I'm all for the tragedy of being able to see What Could Have Been but surely, surely there must be a line. somewhere.

look we need to remeber that despite what some people (reddit) claim, that anyone who is involved with warhammer as a story is into weird shit AND It is crittically important factor to like strange horrible because weird slightly kinky shit is the very foundation we stand on here. Just look at early warhammer novels and you realise this is just a feature here not a bug.

I kinda love that one bit in the beginning of First Heretic where Lorgar and Magnus are bonding over having trouble with their Astartes, and Lorgar's just gone on a whole spiel about Kor Phaeron+Erebus becoming ("becoming" lol) nasty little nakedly ambitious cunning viziers and Argel Tal being a chronically depressed demon-infested sad boy, then goes to Magnus "But I imagine it's the same with you and Ahriman"

Which is like...I mean...kind of?? Not really though??

Like Ahriman is increasingly resentful of Magnus and Magnus is increasingly frustrated by Ahriman, but Magnus also isn't sending two of his troubled adult sons to Calth in the hopes they die or ignoring the fact one of said troubled sons is about to murder the third depressed one.

It's like if you told your mom friend "I don't know what to do, my daughters staying out past curfew and cursing at me lately, our relationships broken down" and she replied "Yeah I get it, my eldest son keeps setting the back bedroom on fire after locking his siblings inside and it's like god damn it not again, enough with the fires. But you know how it is"

No, no I don't know how that is at all, actually, fucking what

Mittens Headcanon circa 1998

some musings under the cut...

I couldn't stop thinking about how shitty Marckus's social skills must have been after years of constant moving and living as a hunter. I imagine he might have been like, genuinely insufferable for a time... and not for no reason. Big D only cares for the hunt, and Door is anathema to the very concept of Social Cues. Without his brother, the only other constant presence in his young life would have been Horse.

Furthermore, I don't think Marckus forgot about his brother, but he did forget about the circumstances around his disappearance. I imagine he has the intelligence to know that his family has been keeping things from him, and considering that Big D likely stopped trusting Marckus after the Norfolk Island Incident, I think Marckus would start to wonder... was his brother's disappearance his fault? If that seed was planted in his mind as a child, what did it grow into as the years went by? Likely something Bitter and Resentful.

Kitten on the other hand, seems to me like the type of person to take responsibility for things that aren't even his fault. I imagine after his time in the Arcanum, he would know that discussing and studying Vampires is a huge risk. While Kitten's Character sheet has been deemed Outdated by the Ogres, we can at least assume that his family being horrifically murdered is still somewhat canon. Its very likely that subconsciously, he blames himself for their murder. Furthermore, we can also assume that the following 2 years he spent in grief-induced isolation must have done a number on him.

What I am getting at, is that Marckus and Kitten were likely vastly different when they first met compared to what they're like currently in the Chronicle.

While their apparent rivalry-turned-romance started from video games, I imagine that the key to them both moving past surface-level shared interests and Childhood nostalgia is their shared grief. Marckus being unable to remember while Kitten wants to forget.

The eventual trust and love they have now could have taken a while to get to that point

...But of course, theres also every chance that they could have both been in a mature place when they both met up again and I'm just blabbering about potential slowburn sdjfsdfdsfds

Hi, I don't know much about 40k lore and only really play darktide, who is or why is Typhus such a bad antagonist?

He's a good antagonist, he's just a terrible match for Darktide, and the person in that post was confidently, comically not comprehending the enormity of what Typhus is.

Darktide is about a collection of very capable but relatively low-end individuals freeing a hive city and the planet around it from a Nurglite cult & corrupt military division. The Darktide rejects could, as a collective, absolutely kill an astartes, like a single regular astartes, in a battle. This makes them more impressive than a huge chunk of humanity.

Typhus is not a regular astartes.

Typhus is the single most favoured mortal champion of Nurgle in the galaxy. Typhus contains countless contagions, diseases and infections to the point his mere presence corrodes metal and dissolves people. He is surrounded by and filled with a swarm of stinging daemon flies that choke the air, blind you, obstruct gunfire and inflict a plague so deadly it basically kills you on the spot and turns you into more flies. When his flagship, the Terminus Est, enters a system, it's considered an apocalyptic event for everyone nearby. The ship itself, on top of being capable of bombarding a planet with conventional weaponry, is full of the same flies that infest Typhus himself and can actively infect and damage the space around it simply by being there. Typhus is an unbelievably tough and capable combatant, weathering artillery fire and heavy weaponry like it isn't there, and possesses a power scythe that can literally cut tanks in half. He also has access to sorcery. A full squad of space marines isn't doing shit to Typhus. The local Inquisitorial lunatics even less so.

Ngl, as a non darktide player seing this Post as the First Thing in my Timeline, i Had a mini anurism cause in this own this Post makes it sounds Like GW legit put Typhus in darktide and someone thought this was a good decision.

[garaktime]

Watching a friend play some Warhammer game, asking "is anyone in warhammer happy?" and then receiving a 40+ min explanation was the highlight of my day

[garaktime]

I was like "damn, not even the emperor?" to which they replied, dead serious "especially not the emperor"

[fictionalauthorityii]

This guy is actually probably the happiest dude in all of 40k

[pfefferminz1]

that is the true answer

the actual answer is the select governors and some drukhari (sometimes)

The true answer however is the driving point for the entire thing

"average primarch grows 3 mechadendrites each year" factoid actually just statistical error. Perturabo, who lives in medrengard & grows over 10,000 mechadendrites each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

[pfefferminz1]

if that were to be the case the average primarch would grow 182500 mechadendrites a year not 3 as that is the implied mean. The math being of is probably why perty is looking at you like that. Good news is he might give you one. Bad news that might involve being servitorized for the crime of doing bad statistics.

Imagine if a like 8 foot tall guy that looked kinda like an alien species just kinda showed up at the house you rent a room in and crashed on the couch and at first everyone hated him but you kinda just accepted this weird massive kinda-human alien species thing as a part of your group even though he's like twice the size of everyone else there

We are lost.

[pfefferminz1]

damn how you still sending messages then?

[thatonelamenter]

The dataslate I’m using is a supposed relic that can just do that.

[pfefferminz1]

having considerd just trying to use that in any way? like give it to the astropath as a focus or sm (idk im not a wizard ) or atleast send out a warning to whoever needs to hear it not to go to where you are or to come rescue you? WHile posting for the plebians is very fun and enriching for us, it may just be a bad use of this device rn.

[pfefferminz1]

i love them but this is what most of the primarchs feel like from time too time right?

They just choose such stupid hils too die on

Yes, I'd assume so, it is rather a rather plain life with the Imperium granting little.

So is standing around for 10 thousand years yet you never complain about that.
