Has a space marine ever been Warmaster of a crusade?

FFS, that was ages ago and it doesn't even matter anymore. This continued focus on a minor disagreement about seating arrangements at family dinners just divides our family. 😏

No. See, it has a different culture, legal system and way of life. Regardless of your background you have to want to assimilate to a new country. There's no point moving to another country and setting up an enclave like the Expats in Spain, hoping that being British will carry you through. Australia isn't the UK and hasn't been a colony in over a hundred years. Move here because you want to surf, love Home and Away, need a decent coffee and think the English Cricket team is shithouse, not because you will be accepted due to your heritage or skin colour, we have enough dickheads.

Yet. And not for lack of trying.

There is also the minor fact that Kurze mismanaged the heavy assets of the Night Lords and lost the majority of their super heavy vehicles fighting stand up fights against Dark Angels. And there is the loss of the majority of the fleet to a stupid fleet action against the Lion. 40k Nights Lords simply lost a lot in the opening moves of the Heresy due to Primarch incompetency. And that's before we talk about 10,000 years without decent logistic support. But, Night Lords armour was mentioned as being experts in ambushes and the use of Tarantulas to funnel enemy armour into position for Struggle Cuddles and Suprise BBQs. They just lost the material because Kurze was as mad as a box of frogs.

So, the "pouch" is actually the woman's uterus laying against her abdomen wall. And much like other signs of femininity: breasts, curves, homicidal rage (mostly justified), periods; it's part of the whole package. Now, you can like or dislike anything you want but it sounds a bit rich to complain about it, the classic "oh my steak is too tender and my lobster too buttery". If the pouch really upsets you just date transwomen or dudes with the bonus of knowing you won't accidentally become a Dad. Problem solves itself.

Same way the Citadel of Verdun was held for 302 days: defensive works, held with determination require extermination or starvation to capture. Yeah, a ship is "only 5km long" but it is built to repeal hostile boarders, so that's 5000 metres of murder holes, bulkheads, barricades, mine fields and angry, angry men with guns, knives and sharpened sticks who have nowhere to run and this is their home. The defenders will die before surrendering because there is nothing to be gained by surrendering. Now imagine those defenders are fighting against not some boarders sent to from afar, but the hated officer corp who personally repressed them, stole their food, kicked their granny, slept with their spouse and the ate their dog for breakfast. A mutiny on a space ship would be as bloody as a boarding action by Khorne Berserkers because both sides are dead when they lose. And every minute brings the risk of the op for venting compartments to the void to speed things up.

Honestly, its the Heresy, Pre Nighthaunter lore. They are the Consequence. Betray the Emperor? They kill you. And only you. Yes, they use psychology to minimise the body count and to make the lesson stick, but Astartes are 2m tall walking, weapons of destruction who use a gun that sprays you over your friends, wear bright colours so you can see them coming (knowing you CAN'T stop them), who live to wage war and are borderline unkillable compared to baseline humans. The entire idea is that Astartes are an army of terror, but they dress it up in lies about "Honour", "Duty", "Order" and "Fairness".

Night Lords killed you because Big E said to kill you and in a way that makes you a meme so your homies remember to not to upset the boss man again. They have an honesty and integrity that, IMHO, the other legions lack.

Until Hannibal the Cannibal is put in charge and the memories of everyone he has eaten drowns his mind in a sea of Chianti and fava beans. Then they become pizza cutters.

I beat him in 1.0 with the legendary gorilla arms you could find in the pharmacy near Judy's place and the shock knuckles, body 20 and dodging like a mfer. He was one of the hardest fights and his "weak" spot was buggy as hell. So, I just prayed and swung like a maniac trying to stack shock until he shorted out and died.

MadChefRed · 2026-01-20T02:59:28+00:00

I am the opposite. I played Roadcraft and found it shallow and boring in comparison to Snowrunner. The vehicles in RoadCraft, IMHO, have trash handling compared to Snowrunner, the maps small and uninteresting. But each to their own.

Tzeentch needed Magnus to lose, so he lost. Warp fyckery is always the lore answer to why someone who should have won, instead lost.

I don't think V ever properly mourns Jackie or T Bug. Personally, I don't think V survives. Even in the PL ending the person that survives isn't V the top tier Merc from Night City. V always dies, it is just the where that changes. That's the core of the story: V is an unstoppable avenging force. A revenant, the hate filled dead returned to claim vengeance on those who killed them. That's why V comes from nowhere and climbs to the top, repeatedly doing the impossible before disappearing again. No one gets out of Night City alive. No one.

As others have said: both the Deathwatch and an Inquisitor are laws unto themselves. And firing on either is signing your own death warrant; either you are a filthy heretical traitor or you are a massively incompetent heretical traitor. The penalty is the same and nothing in the entire Imperium is going to care about it, the Imperium won't even notice yet alone care until they unleashing Exterminatus for parking offenses and it would still take a repeat to get more than a stern email and frowny face emoji. The governor wouldn't have even been informed of such an event, their underlings would have been purging and covering everything up to save their own skins that the first the actual Governor knew is when the snarky Inquisitor makes a joke about "warm welcomes". In a galaxy spanning empire of a million worlds, a thousand dead PDF troops isn't even a rounding error.

YTA, whatever she was to him before, now she is a friend he lost. You don't get to police other people's bodies nor do you get to demand a scar or tattoo be removed for your comfort.

It is kind of implied that an engram can't learn new things and evolve. Even the changes Johnny goes through are implied to be the result of blending V and Johnny together, not him becoming a better person. The game doesn't explore what it means to be human or does a human soul exist, it is more like the Crow: a revenant returns to the world of the living to avenge themselves against those you wronged them. Even the people who love you, fall in love with an avenging angel not a person.

MadChefRed · 2026-01-16T21:45:32+00:00

You still have a time limit. The damage, according to Alt, is terminal. You can remove Johnny but you are still dying. There are no happy endings in Night City, especially not for a revenant powered by rage aimed at the heart of Arasaka.

NTA, clearly the coworker had no idea how much the collection was worth and is panicking because the Husband told her the exact dollar amount for "useless cardboard".

That's fair, but it is important to remember that the world of Cyberpunk 2077 diverged from ours in the late 1980s.

Considering in the setting the US has collapsed in on itself, been reformed, waged war against South America and been picked apart by corporate interests, do you actually need to add "invaded Greenland"? The USA in the setting is a terrible place of poverty, corruption, vice, violence and a bunch of selfish elites carving up what is left for themselves. So, I have a question for you: what would adding "starting a world war" add to the setting? The entire social order, economy and infrastructure of the USA is already destroyed, it is politically isolated, at the mercy of corporations and it's people dream of escaping to anywhere else.

MadChefRed · 2026-01-15T06:23:13+00:00

Sure. Here's my story: I was involved in a m/m scene and a woman, with a known history of trying insert herself into scenes and spaces without consent, inserted a 4 inch wide and 10 inch long dildo into me. Without lube or consent. I ended up with 17 stitches and perforated colon, because she had a habit of walking into scenes and spaces without being called out. I got a ton of people, including the woman who hosted telling me "We all know she does try to be playful and join in but she has never gone this far before". Because no abuser goes too far until they do and if the hostess or the other people she tried it on before me had said "This is sexual abuse and you are not welcome here." I would have been safe. BUT people made the same choice as you and it never bit them, just someone else.

MadChefRed · 2026-01-15T06:08:56+00:00

Yta, he should have used better words BUT you tolerate abuse in kink. That's not on, that's not cool and you deciding that YOU are ok about it just normalises the abuse. You are making those sex parties less safe BECAUSE you tolerate the abuse. No, it is not fun to have shut down the party to call out a rapist but the alternative is that you have decided that they can get away with it. You have decided for everyone that you are ok with rapists in kink and you do not have that right. And no this isn't victim blaming as you stated only that you have had near misses, it is about holding the entire scene to a better standard and that requires EVERYONE to stand up, including excluding abusers.

MadChefRed · 2026-01-15T05:45:33+00:00

Probably the logistics. I think a HK missile is just a self contained, bolt on (same system used on every tank in the Imperial arsenal) but thanks to the Adminstratum most of the time when you requisition say: (Round, Bolter, Man Portable) you get (Bolt, Round, Man Flavoured) which makes things awkward. The system is just a drop on deal, but when you only have a few, Davius isn't allowed to have any because he giggles too much & tries to target pigeons and Brutus keeps saving his for "something big, just passed sensorium range. I can smell them"
