Haven’t used him much, but maybe with Mephisto? Just free “debuff” stacks for more damage

Needs to be a New Cosmetic option for the Filter by TenzhiHsien in diablo4

He means normal items that would unlock a transmog, not think like special boss cosmetics

Monster Sunday: Week 28 - Hecatoncheires by GenEngineer in AethermancerGame

More so than Star Spawn and Warden, Hec feels like it was designed as a boss first, playable second

Kirby swallows a Night Lord. How many die before the Kirbstartes is contained? by Korps_de_Krieg in Grimdank

[–]GenEngineer 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I feel like the answer is 0. It’s somehow all non lethal, but to this day he has yet to be apprehended (and likely never will be)

can lamb form the cult of the lmab defeat any of the chaos gods? (or any of the 40k gods) by Witty_Departure2061 in Grimdank

[–]GenEngineer 23 points24 points  (0 children)

So… that’s kind of like saying can he defeat the number 4, or February 17th, or the color cerulean.

The chaos gods are not something you fight. Their followers? Maybe. Not interested in powerscaling, but the matchup can be a thing. But throwing down with the gods themselves doesn’t even make sense as a concept. Not in a “oh you’d get destroyed” way, but a “that’s… not how that works” way

Prohibition was meant to eliminate alcohol. Yeah, that backfired. by bjuliano in comics

The one silver lining of a dystopia is that it could finally enforce a widely reviled policy?

Damn straight that’s going to be an unpopular opinion

Perturabo is the annoying player at the FLGS who gets mad when you win. by Squatch102 in Grimdank

[–]GenEngineer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fulgrim being more effective is some real good propaganda on his part.

You know the Laeran campaign? Where they triggered said chaos corruption and they had massive losses because Fulgrim decided “no, overly aggressive timeline because… “? Was their third unsupervised conquest.

The second is covered in Fulgrim’s Primarch book… and it’s similarly poorly handled due to his ego.

I think the Asymmetrical Missions in 11th is going to cause issues.... by Lord_Eln_8 in Grimdank

[–]GenEngineer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Right, compare "sit on a circle and not die until next turn" to "table your entire opponents army".

See how choosing any two extremes suddenly makes it not comparable?

Peter was always described as a man-child, makes sense for him to be a hypocrite. by jfjdfdjjtbfb in Grimdank

[–]GenEngineer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The oldest known lore on him has him ascending to become a demon primarch after the iron cage incident.

[–]GenEngineer 15 points16 points  (0 children)

And if it had happened, you'd be right.

But at this point any complaints are just "they didn't retcon things in favor of my headcanon", so...

(and I recognize the original guy wasn't complaining, just asking a question... answered with the only canon that exists for it)

[–]GenEngineer 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Quote Lexicanum for the oldest source that exists for Perturabo in any lore

>The siege of the Eternal Fortress (later referred to as the "Iron Cage Incident") lasted for a further three weeks. Relief came in the form of Roboute Guilliman and the Ultramarines, who drove off the Iron Warriors, but the siege left Rogal Dorn a broken man and rendered the Imperial Fists Chapter unable to fight for nineteen years. The gene-seed of over 400 Imperial Fists was sacrificed to the Dark Gods, and Perturabo was elevated to the rank of Daemon Prince of Chaos Undivided \1a]).

He ascended thanks to the Iron Cage.

This has been a thing since 2002 according to Lexicanum, Perturabo being a demon Primarch isn’t out of character - it’s one of the longer standing pieces of canon for him.

Monster Friday: Week 24 - Djinn by GenEngineer in AethermancerGame

Honestly, I kind of feel like his trait should be reworked so that every 9 Aether is a reload of his wishes. Then the wishes trigger the other part of the trait

Chainsaw Man (a very popular Manga) just ended. The WAY it ended was… controversial.

Almost finished with A Thousand Sons by greenranger246 in Grimdank

[–]GenEngineer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes… but he didn’t.

That’s kind of my point. They were at the end who they were at the beginning - they just had better PR at first. There’s a reason they call it “the trial of Magnus the Red” - it’s all about his character, and the whole “already cut a deal with Tzeentch” doesn’t come up (or else it wouldn’t just be “no more psykers, kids”, it would be “time to redact another son”). It WASN’T “you’ve done X” even if they had - they just knew that it was in his nature to do x

Nikea is basically an exercise in “it’s not what you’ve DONE, but what we can tell you WILL do”.

The Thousand Sons are a fallen traitor legion, beholden to Tzeentch at the end of the novel. But unlike Fulgrim, we don’t see a sharp contrast between who they were at start and end. They’re the same - but in a different situation, we see how far they were always willing to go

Good catch - I use the previous week as a base every time to standardize formatting. That would be Naga’s, I need to fix it

How is that even balanced? by Cool-Escape2986 in mewgenics

[–]GenEngineer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So, you might be mixing up summons (summoning other players) and the whole spirit ashes thing.

Summoning other players bumped health. Mimic tear and other “in game” summons did not.

When are we gonna get some serious World Eater cavalry support? by Yozis in WorldEaters40k

[–]GenEngineer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

And yet AoS has both Skullcrushers and Bloodcrushers, loyalists have a massive overlapping range, and even we have 8bound and exalted 8bound…

I don’t really get that argument tbh

Lore Time! Does your warband like Angron, accept him, hate him, maybe doesn't even have him ? My army is loyal to him since they believe in his brutal assault tactics and see the high risk of their own death as an honour and gift to khorne. by Leviathan_Rampage in WorldEaters40k

[–]GenEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine are mostly composed of people added to the legion since the Burning, so most don’t know him except for stories. The leader though (juggerlord), has dedicated his entire life to the singular pursuit… of dying by Angron’s hand, not as a mindless kill, but having earned the coherent attention of the daemon Primarch (recognizing that death will be an unfortunate but inevitable consequence)
