>be Captain Wolfer>soldier of DI EMPERA'!!>see ThE sTrAnGeR fine while your men rot inside>kill your commissar, the only middle reasonable thing you do in your entire traitorous career>join tHe StRaNgEr (him / her (?))>MUH FRIDUM!! MUH PROSPERITY!! under the god of DECAY (Wolfer is not a very smart guy)>wupsy, you're a just pawn of a cultist schizo, your soldiers mean nothing to him>still believing in Chaos 'cuz somehow Nurgle's afterlife is betta' than Emperor's oneNo matter how hard GW tries, I will never have sympathy for literal retards.I hope his deathscene is he being beaten up by the spirits of the Moebian loyalists, The Emperor (for being a traitor) and Nurgle (for being a loser even in un-death) themselves.
>female version of Wolfer>but with no reason nor background at all>still wanting to be a traitor despite seeing Wolfet getting ass-fvcked every single time, by both Imperials and cultists>of all dark gods, choose the DECAY oneTruly the "WOMAN_moment.exe" of the game.
I also wonder if with GW new direction woth 40k, this 'tard will be redeemed in the last moment.Would be interesting, to be fair.
>>96830339When has chaos ever been redeemed in 40k
>>96830502>Rylanor >Ultramarine who died fighting a greater daemon of Nurgle after being redeemed by a Sister Superior >Plague Marine who turned back to the Emperor >The Deathwatch, particularly its Blackshields, is sometimes cited as a potential avenue for redemption, as it is implied to accept individuals regardless of their past, including former Chaos Marines >a Thousand Sons sorcerer see the Emperor's light again, so he decided to lead his fleet into a warp storm to be destroyedAre some examples.
>>96830056>Chaos fatigueI know exactly what you mean.I was genuinely shocked and pleasantly surprised while playing the Rogue Trader game by Owlcat.The whole time I was waiting for the reveal that Chaos was behind everything, but for once in a blue moon, chaos is on the back-foot and the main antagonists / manipulators are the xenos. The traitor marines are having to piggyback off of the achievements of others in order to make themselves look competent, and they are just as in the dark about the looming threat as the heroes.I hope GW doesn't force there to be chaos wank in the Dark Heresy game.
>>96830056You missed the general.
>>96830056I hope the next space marine game has necrons and dark eldar
>>96831447Would be cool to see SN trying to combine the Imperial Truth / Cult, Deus Machina Cult and Necrons' ideology into something new. But I doubt if GW has enough imagination.
>>96830056>still believing in Chaos 'cuz somehow Nurgle's afterlife is betta' than Emperor's oneThe Emperor has no afterlife.
>>96832427Source?
>>96832427Neither Chaos Gods. Souls going to the Warp are either devoured by Warp predators, or Chaos Gods. And the ones being turned into Daemons? I don't think they're the same people, it's more like being scrapped and turned into a monstrosity out of recycled essence.
>>96832474Sisters of Battle codex, the story of Saint Celestine. Emperor talks to her directly and explains he can only pluck out a handful of souls from the Warp to protect from being devoured, and Celestine is one of them because she's one of the greatest warriors in the universe
>>96830502There was a great scene in Plague War where psyk-out grenades were used on plague marines which temporarily cut them off from the warp, and in that brief few moments of clarity they realized what zombified horrors they had become and either went insane or killed themselves.
>>96832950What happened when they reconnected with the Warp? They still were insane, revived or what? Would they accept the Imperial Truth again?
>>96830056Well what do you expect? Xenos can't be the main villains, they're too weak.
Would 40k be better as a human-only setting? I don't really see what xenos add desu other than to give a frame of reference of how powerful overwhelmingly powerful the Imperium is to anything that isn't Chaos.
>>96833702It would lose a fair bit of its charm without the Orks and Eldar. As much as I don't care tyranids, Genestealers and Genestealer cults are very cool. Even Tau serve a purpose in being the bright upcoming dipshits in an utterly fucked universe.It gives the setting flavor and depth to have other things going on outside of Imperium/Chaos and hammers in that humanity is fighting a losing war on multiple fronts.
>>96833807that guy's just unhinged, he keeps repeating this demented "40k should have no xenos in it" take all over the board. Just ignore him
>>96832427>>96832474There is some level of nascent Warp domain of the Emperor just like the Chaos gods, it's described by heretics as worlds "burning" (but being heretics of course they burn) in the spiritual fire of the Astronomicon, and inhabited by spiritual angel entities warring against the rest of the Warp.>We can see that light. Those of us within the Empire of the Eye can actually see it. The Astronomican reaches even to our purgatorial exile, and to us it is no mere mystical radiance illuminating the warp. It is pain, it is fire, and it plunges entire Neverborn worlds into war.>It would be a mistake to believe the Emperor’s power battles the Four Gods’ forces, here. It is not order against chaos, nor anything as crude as ‘good’ against ‘evil’. It is all psychic energy, crashing together in volatile torment.>Most of the Radiant Worlds are uninhabitable, lost in the lethal crash of conflicting psychic energies. Armies of fire angels and flame-wrought projections wage war against everything in their path. We call this region the Firetide. What made the Avernus Breach so valuable was its path, not its destination. It cut through the systems forever bleached bare of life by the Firetide, and into the calmer Radiant Worlds beyond. These are the star systems bathed in psychic light without burning in it.>Entire centuries will pass without a single vessel sailing the region, for it offers little to us beyond yet another example of soul energies manifesting in ways mortals can barely control. On more than one occasion the Mechanicum has sought to use Neverborn spirits bound within arcane flesh-machinery to record the Radiant Worlds in an ever-shifting, evolving map. Such attempts have fared as poorly as you might imagine.
>>96834229that's not the domain of the Emperor, anon... it's the domain of The Dark King
>>96834229There's also the "giant blazing pillar of light" which may or may not be the same place.>Though Casophili died at the hands of his tormentors, something remarkable happened. Five days after his death, the body of the missionary was to be burned upon a sacrificial pyre to the Dark Gods. As the flames took hold of the tarred wood, Casophili roused himself and jumped from the fires. Miraculously brought back from the dead, Casophili confronted his tormentors and the gathered crowd. The story of Saint Casophili's return spread quickly and he led the people of Alena Three against the priesthood. Such an occurrence would naturally attract the attention of Resurrectionist Inquisitors, but the faction that have dedicated themselves to the study of Casophili's story focus on one particular aspect of the saint's tale. In his later works, Casophili writes of his experiences over the fives days between death and resurrection. During this period, the saint tells of a bodiless floating sensation in a gulf of sound and colour. He writes of a clamour of myriad voices, some whispering and others bellowing, swirling around him. He also speaks of a great light that suffused everything, which he believed to be the Emperor.>>96834252The "Dark King" realm when forming was a giant city, which is also described entirely differently to the Firetide region in the Warp. The two things are separate.
>>96834252Isn't that just>I'M YOU IF YOU WERE HONESTversion of the Emprah?
>>96834301It's HH writers wanking themselves.
>>96834229>>96834252You dumb bastards.That's the light of the Astro-whatever entering the Eye of Terror. It's not a domain of the Emperor or whatever. The book ITSELF SAYS THAT THE EMPEROR ISN'T PRODUCING THE LIGHT. He is merely directing it.Wherever the light of Astronomican hits, it burns. Daemon worlds hit by the light are immolated, and manifestations of Imperials appear to fight the daemons. Destroy the Astronomican and it will be all gone
