>>97091069GM said we're playing in Calixis sector precisely so he doesn't have to care about the big canon events and characters and just use the cool stuff.
>>97091297cool and based of him
Do Necron's worship a god? I can't remember reading anything about their religion, if they even have one. Maybe something surviving from before they got their metal bodies?
>>97092041There is nothing about pre-interstellar necrontyr culture and the only'gods' they ever 'worshiped' were the star gods.
>>97092041They used to worship the C'tan until they killed them. Now their ancient codes don't talk about gods, but do engramatically enforce loyalty to their higher-ups and the Silent King.
Do traitor guardsmen or astartes usually keep their anti-alien mindset or do they not care? I'm trying to make a home brew Chaos war band that allows cast offs from the Tau but I'm curious about how "cannon" such a thing would be.
>>97091297He sounds cool and C’tan-like.
>>97092387Yes, they're still humans after all, despite all the corruption. The galaxy will burn, but THEY will rule the ashes, not the alien
>>97092387I've never heard of any traitors giving up their human supremacy. Except so far as you count the chaos gods as alien, which obviously they don't.
>>97092041Originally, the Necrontyr had religion revolving around a few death gods I believe, given their entire culture revolved around their enormously short lifespans. This left them kind of vulnerable to C'tan influence in their early days, because the first one they encountered (the Nightbringer) essentially WAS a death god. As a result, once they gave the C'tan necrodermis bodies they formed cults around them over their older, false religions given that they were now following proven to be real "gods". There's little to nothing left of pre-C'tan Necrontyr culture left, making it one of Trazyn's prime obsessions - which a certain asshole uses against him.
>>97092041As others said, they used to. Absolutely zero reason they would now, or ever. The c'tan tricked them into becoming soulless machines, and they killed and enslaved said c'tan gods.
>>97091297Your gm sounds like he can be turned into a battery
>>97092387The galaxy is a big place. It's not a big stretch that out of untold billions, one group doesn't care too much about adopting corrupted xenos. A lot of traitors use xenos tech at the very least, just look at their warships.
From a lore perspective, don't titans kind of make primarchs a non-issue on the battlefield? I would probably rather fight beside an upper-class titan than fight beside a primarch that could be vaporized by them in a millisecond, but so much of the lore revolves around how important primarchs are
>>97095221>fight beside a primarch that could be vaporized by them in a millisecond...he doesn't know, does he?
>>97095255Even if you tell him, he'll probably disregard it because canon hurts people's feelings here.
>>97095221Primarchs aren't even real.
>>97095255>>97095297I don't know, please tell me
>>97096179The case you mentioned literally happened in Betrayer. Lorgar takes a Warhound Titan plasma blastgun to the face. But since Lorgar is a Primarch, his primarchness nuh-uhs the shot and then he psychically tosses a rock, crushing its head. This causes the nearby world eaters to have a giggle before returning to slaughter. The warhound then almost falls on Angron but he catches it and tosses it because he's a Primarch. Long story short, Primarchs, as main characters of 40k, can basically nuh-uh anything except another Primarch / main character.
Putting together an extended Deathwatch mission in and around a Cadian kasr. Did GW ever release any official maps/street plans to show how Cadian settlements are designed to fuck with invaders? I'm having trouble coming up with battle maps that don't feel like tedious dungeon-crawl mazes for the defenders (the PCs and their allies).
>>97096250Wow that is kind of fucking bullshit in my opinion considering that Konrad was killed by a fucking blade and since Fulgrim was almost killed by a carbine. Aren't titan weapons basically almost nukes? Sometimes the power scaling and plot armour in 40k pisses me off
>>97096787In the words of a certain prince of all Saiyans, power levels are bullshit. IIRC, in Betrayer (the very same book), Lorgar in full armor loses a hand or a chunk of his arm to regular Astartes bolter fire.
Hive worlds and such are fun and all, but have any of you run a Dark Heresy investigation set on a planet where the technology is 21st century? I know they exist just due to the massive amount of planetary variety, but I was wondering how interesting it would be based on contrast and familiarity.
>>97096856This sounds like a really shitty book
>>97096892that describes every HH book
>>97096884It be a bit weird given how much you have to first distance yourself from reality to get into the mindset of 40k and then get back to something with today's tech but a coat of 40k paint. The world is too varied to really give a solid feel so you'd need to go more regional at the country, state, or even city level.
>>97096900I've only read 40k books so I believe you
>>97096900I've only read the first one but I believe you
>>97096884It was a cross between the HRE and modern british bureaucracy, with the religious attitudes of the medieval period mixed with that of the modern time. Ironically it wasn't actually that different from a hive world. It's been a bit, so forgive me if this isn't 100% acccurate. But basically what mattered was the divide between upper and lower society. Upper society was ritualistic - Adepts, the very wealthy, whatever. Lower society had a lot of variance.Everyone was very faithful, it's part of every action.. but it's also something that's just in the background. People speak prayers but it's mostly performative. Empty ritual - faith and ritual and fear are maybe the three of four primary parts of the early human experience, and people pick faith or ritual and that wards off the fear. Fear of others, fear of the ecclesiarchy, whatever. There's an aquila right underneath the bureaucratic health code rating on the window, that sort of thing. And there's no way to know who is following ritual and who is following faith, but everyone does it. But because life wasn't as awful as a hive world it wasn't foregrounded except in the distinct religious areas - you know how you might see people you'd never expect going in and out of a cathedral for a morning mass or something? Like that. Genuine faith is rarer but burns brighter.Bureaucratically, everyone claims authority over everything, but in reality has only authority over a very small thing and they'll duel through constant forms and paperwork and legal challenges through what passes for the planetary government, themselves (One might issue a decree requisitioning the planet's greatest whore, who is the mother of the local Administratum bureau, the administratum issues one declaring the other guy's name to be stupidface forever more, and then it gets dragged out over five generations, whatever).
>>97097070>>97096884And like the english it's done in the most byzantine way possible, with incredible attention to, again, ritual - every aspect of life among the bureaucracy has different clothes for different tasks (bureaucratic sacristies are big business), piles of different dialectics of low gothic that are used to sing in a choir that accompanies a process server, that sort of thing. While the butler says in plain high gothic that the fourth son of the holder of the rod has delivered his summons, nobody but the in group knows what it means or why there's some random confused hobo standing outside accompanied by an honour guard wearing more gold than an indian fresh immigrant who hasn't met a basketball american yet. Or why everyone is waiting for a response - the hobo isn't allowed to know, either.The lower classes basically mix in ritual and faith to assuage their own fears - think of how you might live your day to day life if you had to stop and perform a small dance twice a day and pray precisely four and a half times over a 49.8 hour period. Imagine if your average fentanyl zombie was actually performing a religious or bureaucratic ritual and would randomly snap up to being normal, calmly announce it's seven bong, fill out a form and walk off. Think of how muslim countries sometimes structure their days around prayer times, or how very hot nations sometimes start early and end around 1 or 2 pm. If you're a millenial, remember how in the 90s with dial up you had some incredible access to information, but still regularly consulted books because sometimes it was just easier, as well as all the jokes about magic blue smoke. Now mix it all together.
>>97097075>>97096884You basically end up on a world where life is broken up by bizarre rituals that only certain people understand, but each are always respected. The ritual, not the person. Life's pretty good, if dirty. People get up, go to work, information stacks up in the data crypts, go home, sleep. People complain about their jobs, their boss, the local ecclesiarch who turned out to be worshipping the funny bird man in the small hat. The cults slip in through small banalities and cruelties, people who are seeking something more than that stifling atmosphere of ritual and continuity.Anyway, sperg aside, that's where the evil comes in. You know how today everyone is a bit lost? Some turn to religion, some turn to youtube influencers, some turn to the past. That's where the cults come in - they offer a little pocket in that stifling blanket of continuity and ritual. The world has gone on the way it has for millenia and won't stop. Nothing matters. Banality. For us, it was a standard doctor cult. Nurglite industrial magnate who couldn't stop the pain with modern medical science but found something that did. He started sponsoring doctors, found people at the lowest rungs of society who couldn't stand the spiritual pain of just living down there anymore despite being relatively well fed and clean and safe. The only reason he got caught was because the smoke from his factories got dirtier. 99% was just navigating the bureaucratic wank and going from office to office arguing with people in increasingly stupid hats.

>>97097083NTA, but thanks for the story, anon.
The fandom likes to joke about Tau woman preferring human men and Roboute Guilliman having an Eldar girlfriend but is there any proof in the lore of human and Xeno interbreeding?
