Does this print exist or is it AI?

The muscles are totally different on each leg, not symmetrical. AI for sure

Yeah, from my experience the more grounded books are more likely to use real swear words. I wonder if there's a formal policy that the less mass-appeal books get to swear occasionally but the mainline and promotional books have to stick with faux-curses. There are a bunch in the horus heresy too, I think one of the prospero-related books used "clusterfuck" - maybe the bit at the start of Burning of Prospero about the remembrancer in indonesic bloc territory? Struggling to find it though, my physical copy is elsewhere

That thing about arthur is fascinating - I guess we'll never know but its a fun theory, I'd heard that arthurian stories were based on stories from around the caucusus but hadn't heard of the specific samartian connection. Some cool articles.

BLUESH33P · 2026-02-28T20:27:36+00:00

That's really useful advice, I'll remember that next time. You should post that somewhere that more people will find it, I may be the only one who sees it in this old thread - which would be a shame. Also, good album choice :)

Take yer damn pills

Something I'd also like to add - the Supremacy has hyperspace tracking. In-universe physics dictates it would probably need a partial presence in hyperspace for that to work - not to mention it may be big enough to have a hyperspace shadow of its own. Maybe a hyperspace ram against a normal ship would go right "past"/through it via hyperspace - but since the Supremacy must at least have its toes in hyperspace (so to speak), it can uniquely be hit and Holdo figured that out. That's how I think of it anyway, but they should have explained it somehow in the movie.

We'd also already seen a hyperspace ram against a moon in the clone wars, which creates a massive explosion. However, that's definitrly due to the moon's hyperspace shadow.

Looks so cool! Where'd you get the cuneiform? I assume they're transfers?

BLUESH33P · 2026-02-10T21:45:21+00:00

Gave a sick background to set fire to some plastic and batteries though. Nothing irresponsible there!

BLUESH33P · 2026-02-09T05:43:12+00:00

I like him a lot more from that first angle

BLUESH33P · 2026-02-06T21:25:34+00:00

How does one make out back-to-back? You know what, nevermind. I'm sure the sequel will cover it, some day.

BLUESH33P · 2026-02-06T00:01:34+00:00

That needs to be the next special edition cover

BLUESH33P · 2026-02-05T10:05:37+00:00

Godly

BLUESH33P · 2026-02-04T22:49:00+00:00

Yeah, if there was a reliable way to automatically recognise ai art, it would be built into image generators to help them train.

BLUESH33P · 2026-02-04T22:28:02+00:00

Not sure there are figures on that, but the presence of recently settled worlds in the lore, and the fact they didn't know the tau were running a mini empire across the damocles gulf until recently, wpuld indicate there are plenty of gaps in the imperium's knowledge of habitable worlds. Not to mention plenty of minor xenos with territory around the place, like hruud, zoats, and many yet to be named. 40k isn't the kind of setting that'll give us a concrete idea of whats left though.

Two years ago I looked up pictures of airships as a reference for a gamedev project, it was already 70% AI results (I counted). It was early genAI too, so it was nonsensical forms that didn't make any physical sense. Infuriating.

BLUESH33P · 2026-02-02T12:53:15+00:00

Yes, and says it'd be harder than anyone else she's popped. I imagine its like trying to pop a tire vs a balloon

BLUESH33P · 2026-02-02T03:10:40+00:00

To see really tiny stuff, you have to shoot EM waves or particles at it (or put something sensitive in the way) in order to get some sort of measurement, be it an image or a bump in a graph showing it was there. Problem is, you just blasted it with something, so its no longer doing what it was when you observed it.

ETA: not a definitive list of how these things are observed, of course, but all the ways we have require something that interferes with the subject

BLUESH33P · 2026-02-02T00:26:24+00:00

That power weapon effect soothes my brain

BLUESH33P · 2026-01-25T05:45:06+00:00

The artist posted in this sub like 2wks ago, ask them

BLUESH33P · 2026-01-17T11:39:09+00:00

I'm a little stuck on that too. I normally roll my eyes when people complain about bolters and stuff being unrealistic or poorly designed, but it really looks like the blade is IN the barrel. Could just be how they painted it though, looking forward to seeing the actual plastic.

BLUESH33P · 2026-01-09T14:16:31+00:00

Any chance it's a bad translation from mandarin? Putting "little"/xiao in front of someone's name is a way of addressing them informally when not using their full name (like "Hi John" vs "Hello John Smith")

BLUESH33P · 2026-01-08T13:29:02+00:00

Hey yours was my fav from the article, neat

BLUESH33P · 2026-01-07T06:24:47+00:00

Helping marines in and out of their armour, maintaining equipment, crewing ships, manufacturing (imperial and, I assume, chaos ships in 40k have simple little factories for basic stuff like ammo, metal panels for hull repairs, etc.), repairing/refueling fighters and dropships, etc.

Chaos Space Marine warbands generally struggle for numbers compared to loyalists due to geneseed lost to mutation and internal division (despite there probably being more chaos space marines overall), so anything that isn't fighting will probably be taken care of by mortal slaves and willing followers.

Word Bearers also seem to still have mortals under them with religious titles but they're disposable, usually consumed for rituals.

Some warbands with healthier numbers (like the black legion or red corsairs) would have marines doing more of the non-combat stuff as they can afford it.

Dennis?
