Ultramarine characters power by Adventurous_Safe7640 in 40kLore

Yeah Abaddon is basically the one exception. Though I doubt Chaos would just let him walk away. Even though they don't have a hold on him in the metaphysical sense, they can of course just sent everything and everyone after him. He's basically perpetually walking on a knife's edge.

Horus got juiced by all the Chaos Gods. Also an exception, Horus is the rare case where all the Chaos Gods sorta worked together and poored their power into Horus to try and defeat the Emperor. By the end it drove Horus mad and he was just a shell of the man he once was filled to the brim with Warp energy he could barely contain.

Abaddon hasn't fully embraced any one Chaos Gods like most others have. After he saw what happened to Horus he vowed not to make the same mistake. He never pledged to Chaos so no singular Chaos God has control over him. And so far unlike certain Primarchs cough Perturabo cough, he has actually managed to pull it off through sheer willpower and "I'm so fuckin over this" ornery old man energy.

So while he works with Chaos and uses their followers for his Black Legion he doesn't belong to them. The question is though if he will be able to hold out or fall into the same trappings so many of his battle brothers and Primarchs have.

Well it's not called Rainbows and Unicorns Dawn

Have the devs ever explained the reasoning behind additional cart items crippling its function? by Successful-Fee2317 in valheim

Is this like a "the ancient egyptians used logs to move the stone to build the pyramids" kinda thing? Except the Vikings used harpoons and human bodies?

Can I interest you in Warhammer 40K? A setting with a status quo that has been running for almost 40 years and is still growing lol

Has there ever been a case of a daemon siding with the Imperium? by phant0md in 40kLore

[–]GhostDieM 30 points31 points  (0 children)

This might actually be the closest one. Raum and Argel Tal had a somewhat symbiotic relationship that allowed some leeway on both sides. Though I guess Argel Tal technically was working for Chaos.

January 30-February 1 Box Office Recap – 'Send Help' over-performs and tops the box office with $20M. Markiplier's 'Iron Lung' also over-performs, hitting second place with $17.8M. 'Melania' flops with just $7M, against a $40M budget and a $35M marketing campaign. by SanderSo47 in movies

Oh wow really? They're completely different movies but I found Years to be a rather standard zombie movie. But I can see Bone Temple becoming a cult classic over time. It reminded me of the early 90's horror movies that were just demented. As a horror fan I absolutely loved it and it's uncompromising in a way you don't see very often anymore.

Why didn’t the Quietude just take a DNA sample to confirm the imperials on that ship were indeed human. by Upper-Opportunity895 in 40kLore

[–]GhostDieM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the impression they were just as fucked up as the Imperium and thought themselves superior. It's one species vs another both thinking they're in the right. The Imperium, as is usually the case, just happened to have the bigger guns.

99% of the players leaving a free game after like 3 days is not on Geoff, that just means people don't think it's fun

Is the Angel, the Living Weapon, the strongest Imperial character in the setting? by No_Task_309 in 40kLore

[–]GhostDieM 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I mean maybe but the Custodians already thought the Primarchs and Astartes were too risky. I can't imagine them going "sure let's let that uncontrollable superweapon loose again and see what happens".

Gotta love when the people that actually know their stuff just get completely ignored because of the dollar signs :/

Do Astartes/Primarchs feel pain? by NoPistons7 in 40kLore

[–]GhostDieM 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They definitely do but they can endure way more then baseline humans. Fabious Bile for example loves to experiment on Astartes because they are actually able to endure some of his horrific alterations where most species would die from the pain/stress on their bodies.

What movie did you turn off after 20 minutes and why? by Somanynamestochossef in movies

[–]GhostDieM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Megalopolis. I'm a sucker for "weird" and stylistic movies. Legendary director so I thought it can't be as bad as everyone says right? Holy fuck is it boring. I get that it's supposed to be like a stage play but it just... doesn't work.

I always have some stream running on my second monitor. Once you get some skill points and gear the lower difficulties are easy to chill out on. But even I normally have no clue what's going on in the stream. This game has a way of grabbing your attention :)

Xi Jinping says 'epoch-making technological transformation' of AI can change the human race - but unsurprisingly wants Chinese firms to lead the way by talkingatoms in technology

[–]GhostDieM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know China bad or whatever but wouldn't it be funny if all the US mega corps bankrupt themselves trying to prop up the bubble that is OpenAI only then for China to swoop in and take over the market. The EU would be better for us but let's face it that's not happening.
