In Messages For Dad, Vulkan Has A Son Named Janan. Janan Inherits Two Good Things From His Father: His

Don't worry, Dante will be the best older brother any Astartes could ask for for a long time.

Well that sucks

Each of the base marine detachments except for First Company is designed to be particularly fitting for one of the codex-compliant first founding chapters.

Anvil Siege Force: Imperial Fists

Stormlance Assault Force: White Scars

Ironstorm Spearhead: Iron Hands

Gladius Task Force: Ultramarines

Firestorm Assault Force: Salamanders

Vanguard Spearhead: Raven Guard

They are also pretty blatant about which chapter they correspond to. Anvil has an enhancement related to the chapter fleet, which seems like it comes out of the blue until you realize that the Imperial Fists have always had a pretty important and powerful fleet.

Ah classic GW, going out there proclaiming the "year of chaos" or whatever and then on the reveal show that has all established chaos legions primed they show off more new/refreshed models for some redundant cringe Space Marine offshoot than the actual chaos factions get.

In addition, they somehow imply to make Imperial Fists and Salamanders unique factions BEFORE Drukhari is even on the horizon for a Codex. Just what is up with that?

GW, what the hell?

Twink obliterated?

No. Twink obliterating.

me: YOU CAN FIT SO MUCH ANGST INTO THIS BAD BOY *slaps the ass of pre-heresy Fulgrim, immediately gets obliterated by startled demigod*

Just kidding, the Imperium is run by puritanical morons. They'd never do that.

Considering that one of the fundamental principles of BDSM is that it be safe, sane, and consensual, proper BDSM is, in fact, anathema to Slaanesh, and would therefore be encouraged by the Imperium of Man. In this essay I will

God I remembered why I hate Fulgrim slander. It's the same shit with Toreador slander, "oh the toreadors are weakling fops obsessed with their looks haha *insert shallow joke*" and it's fucking stupid

How the fuck is a bad stereotype all you're getting out of this.

When I first saw this I thought it was about Orkz.

I completely support the pushing of boys against walls

I mean, I'd be down for being Fulgrim. I relate to him quite a bit.

Aaand one more meme from me. Enjoy!

Context: the French high-speed rail system is called the TGV, short for Train a Grande Vitesse.

Ships are King George V (real) and Bourgogne (paper ship/designed but never built)

There is a good chance that the skeleton in that picture is actually dead. The Imperium worships the "human form", and the skeleton is the most bare-bones representation of that form, hence why you see skeletons on a whole lot of shit in 40k (relic storm shields, for example). You can see another example of this where some Necrons were analyzing an Aquilla that was on a planet they conquered, and they found bone fragments mixed in with the metal (they thought they were impurities).

Some more fun 40k facts for Rogue Trader mutuals!

The average human lifespan in Warhammer 40k is roughly the same as it is right now. However, the wealthy people, those who are well-connected, and important/high ranking military officers have access to rejuvenation technology and augmentations that massively extend a person's life. The wealthiest people can live for centuries. As a Rogue Trader, your character will be 100% pressured to undergo these treatments for the stability of the region. Theodora is well over 300 years old at the start of the game.

The first Rogue Traders, those who were personally granted warrants of trade by the Emperor himself, were actually people he did not want around. They were people too wealthy/popular/inconvenient to kill, but people he did not want close to him as he built the foundations of the Imperium. For him, this was a win-win situation. If they did what they were told, they would go into unknown corners of the galaxy and bring them into the Emperor's fold. Or they died trying. Worst case scenario, they got corrupted (or at least power-hungry) and turned on the Emperor while in deep space, which game him perfect justification to kill them.

There have been other warrants of trade signed by Primarchs and other extremely important people for more practical reasons. But the original warrants signed by the Emperor were, as many things concerning the Emperor, kind of a shitty thing to do.

A lot of 40k's lore borrows heavily (steals) from Dune. Including a total ban on artificial intelligence and machines that do any complicated calculations. (it's not just illegal, it's heretical) Cogitators look like computers as we understand them, but their actual processors are often human brains. Servitors who have had their bodies mutilated even more than usual, their brain functions brute-forced programmed to do nothing but function as a computer.

Remember this skeleton on the main menu screen? That's a person, not a spooky decoration. (the Imperium is SUPER evil)

That being said, the Adeptus Mechanicus totally break this rule all the time.

But this rule isn't just because the Imperium is evil. Daemons can, and have, possessed machines of all kinds to cause countless deaths across history. Part of the reason all technology and maintenance is so heavily ritualized is because it HAS to be, in order to prevent demonic infestation. It's not just because everyone in 40k is completely ignorant of how things work.

genuinely so tired of people calling my identity a fetish
