Psycho Warriors are more grimdark than their inspo. At least Astartes raise up successful recruits to be superhuman versions of themselves. Psychos are basical testicular las plagas that completely erase the identity of their original host.
>>151924551By the time an aspirant is an astartes theyve spent like 3x as long in gestation and psych training than they did as a human.
>>151924687Okay and? Space Marine mind fuckery still doesn’t REPLACE the aspirant’s persona, even if they ARE usually functionally unrecognizable as that person by the time it’s done
>>151924551There's nothing grim or dark about them they're just silly. It's like if every 40k faction were orks.
>>151925133Tell me about how crystal clear your memories are from 10 years ago.These niggas spent 300 years being surgically altered without anesthesia and getting mind raped by vr in a tank.Not to mention, one of the points of psych training actually is to erase your humanity. To purge you of human weaknesses.
>>151925331>Not to mention, one of the points of psych training actually is to erase your humanity. To purge you of human weaknesses.And yet, there's 10,000 years worth of marines joining Chaos because of human weaknesshmnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
>>151925362Because it was bullshit.Like astartes beleive, because of psych, that they arent actually capable of being afraid. This isnt true, but the beleif that it is true helps them to be less afraid.
>>151925362I don't get why anyone willingly joins Chaos. What the fuck does Chaos have over the Imperium that makes them any more desirable?
Plus a majority of chaos space marines fell before the heresy. There were no safeguards(not serious ones) to prevent chaos corruption. Lorgar was a bright red flag from the start and nothing was done about him or his chapter.
>>151925401They whisper in your mind as you sleep till you go crazy.They lie to you and show you things you cannot comprehend.Also whats that quote>i killed multitudes for the emperor and all i got was silence. Now the chaos gods promise me the galaxyOr something something. They get tricked is the answer
>>151925401>What the fuck does Chaos have over the Imperium that makes them any more desirable?Typically more freedomAverage imperium citizen works grueling 15 hour shifts at factories to provide munitions for wars light years away from them and live in cramped 5x5 apartments Times that by a billion per city on the planet then it's no wonder people choose the interdimensional daemons that will give you power if you kill your neighbor or take over the planet Life for the average imperium citizen is shit beyond shit and you'll be forgotten as fast as you were born You never know how hungry you truly can get until you're starving
>>151925442So what's stopping the Imperium from improving quality of life for the average citizen? Wouldn't bread and circuses mostly curb the Chaos problem? Not entirely, but then you would only have like 3% of the population joining Chaos as opposed to 60%.
>>151925491The mechanicus solve the Human Misery problem with lobotomy but this makes them vulnerable to sabotage cuz most Forge World normies shuffle about like borg drones
>>151925491>So what's stopping the Imperium from improving quality of life for the average citizen?Quiet literally lack of resources, the culture, and the classismImperium doesn't have enough time, money, or food to make every citizen feel comfortable. Only those in ultramar and on pleasure worlds can have that luxury The imperirum is already the kind of civilization that'll sacrifice billions if some dude on a planet summoned a daemon from masturbating with barbed wire. They generally have made it so that people shouldn't care about one life or many but should make sure that humanity doesn't go extinct. Also they typically have a suck it up and take it like a man kind of cultureAnd of course the nobles of the imperium would have a problem with the lower class taking their shit You could do these things on one or two planets but the imperium is made up of millions to a hundred million planets across the galxyThe reduce in chaos would be minimal and would just serve to waste time and resources
>>151925401Anon, why would people vax for an illness that has a 0.02 mortality rate, with an untested vaccine that doesnt even fit the definition of vaccine?
>>151925513The Mechanicus are retards and their plan clearly isn't working. It'd be best if real humans sorted it out, as they have before.>>151925553Ah, fair enough. Sounds shitty, but I understand. Also the nobles sound like assholes.>>151925560Also fair.
>>151925491>So what's stopping the Imperium from improving quality of life for the average citizen?Ah geez this is 2 second question with a 10 hour answer.
>>151925553Plus the multitudes of people they just dont even know exist. Like therell be billions living in a hive, being regularly culled for.imperial guard troops. And then millions will live on the outer surfsce of the hive, whole cultures and generations who treat fixing the damn pipes like a holy ritual
>>151925736And that's even going into the other billons that have lived underground for hundreds of generations never knowing what a sun even is On top of having to deal with local gangers, chaos cultists, and other monsters the police can't be bothered to kill
So who wants to inform Hatemonger that the original Space Marine was in fact a big tiddied muscle mommy?
>>151926517He'll just call it revisionist propaganda and then destroy any records of it
>>151926517Starship troopers was published in 1959.
>>151926517And Samus is female Cobra who is male Barbarella
how would you add a sisters of battle-like faction in the show without ruining the "by the boys for the boys" vibe of the series, /co/?
>>151927403Make them an enemy faction, simple. Also have them be extremely misandrist to balance out the Psycho Warriors' misogyny.
>>151927403Knowing Flashgitz' sense of humor, a Sisters of Battle parody faction would be a group of radical, man-hating feminists who are the subject of many "women, amirite?" jokes before dying in a hilariously over-the-top fashion by the end of the episode.
>>151925401slaanussy
>>151927464I'd like it to be they're very calm and sound rational but they're doing things that are terrible and they don't understand why people are being mean to them
>>151927464I really hope that if they do that. they play it smarter than they usually do. They should make it actually funny.>>151927502Yeah, like this.
>>151927403since the psycho warriors are just fatherless little boys, the sisters of butthole would just be fatherless little girls. and we all know what happens to those.
>>151927464>>151927515Flashgitz would sooner make it about the boys getting tired of shit and mix it up with them behaving like girls when they are still boys. They call each other "sister" as a means to hid from everyone else.>oh, clearly, these four are not part of our collective. After all they keep calling each other "sister" and "girlfriend" and as we know: no girls are allowed.
>>151927647>imaginting mops for wigs on top of their helmets and tits made from bowls and cupwear duck tape to their chest.>"all right gu-I mean-girls, I think they will ignore us now, let's hurry up and get this mission done" >"You know I kinda lik-">"I swear to god Bryce, if you finish that sentence I'm shoving this mop handle up your ass and breaking it."
>>151927502>>151927515An idea I just had would be to play the Sisters completely straight as a group of über-religious buzzkills who think the Psycho Warriors aren't devout enough. Introduce female counterparts to the main four who are forced to go on some Space King-related quest with them. Things start off feeling like your typical "boys vs. girls" episode but both sides end up having to co-operate to overcome a greater threat, like aliens who have no concept of gender to begin with. The boys and girls team up, save the day and begin congratulating themselves only to realize that the Psycho Warriors all have reverse cooties, which kill the Sisters permanantly, since they have no globules. Hatemonger has an "I told you so" moment.
>>151927793Every episode so far is basically your average children's cartoon episode premise with some crazy twist on it so that fits
>>151925331Taking aside how ludicrous an assertion like the period between aspirant and battle brother is anything close to 300 yearsThat's still not erasing the person dudeIsador was still emotionally connected enough to Cyrene that Gabriel calling the Inquisition on it left a festering hate in his heart for himMarneus Calgar's career has been wearing a false name to honor a childhood friend (I give you a pass if you think that story is rarted tho)The entire Mortifactors chapter are gloomy savages because their upbringing on a nearly sunless wasteland follows them into space
>>151924551I like that Space King is a villain protagonist show that actually 100% commits to the protagonists being purely evil and fucked up people who do objectively horrific things and doesn't try to pussy foot around it. It's fucking refreshing.
>>151926628>Starship trooperssorry bro but this twink ass fuckboi is not a space marine
>>151928979What the fuck is that thing?Pic related is the cover of the first edition of the novel, not that it nessiserily closely matches what the author was imagining.
Here's one apparenly from the '90s, but that makes it late enough that it could actually be influenced by something like Warhammer 40K.
Something drawn for the development of the short anime.
