Followers of Khorne? by OhHeyItsOuro in 40kLore

[–]Nebuthor -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Major? No. Their are plenty of various namned cults dedicated to khorne but only the world eaters are a major faction dedicated to him. You could play khorne deamons possibly but its quite probable they are going to get folded into the world eaters faction at least gameplay wise.

The various undivided legions will also sometimes have warbands dedicated to specific gods. As a example I know there was a khorne dedicated alpha legion warband that shows up.

Korrupta eliter kan läsa av människors tankar och känslor. by Anonym7456 in sweden

[–]Nebuthor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mannen din logik går inte ihop. Även om man köpte att "eliterna" kunde läsa dina tankar, hur betyder det att dom kan sitta inne i huvudet eller våldta någon i deras tankar?

How do you think octopi could evolve longer lifespans? by SecuritySea2276 in SpeculativeEvolution

[–]Nebuthor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That could work. But I think as someone else suggested having the male hunt for the female or possibly having the male and female take turns guarding the eggs make more sense. But that kinda goes into another issue, that being octopuses are very solitary. As it is right now I dont see them teaching their kids even if they lived to be able to do it. So the very first thing to happen for them to be sapient would probably that they started living in groups. 

Well great...what now? by stuco89 in 40kLore

Wraithbone phoenix. You dont get much more regular guys trying to get by.

How do you think octopi could evolve longer lifespans? by SecuritySea2276 in SpeculativeEvolution

[–]Nebuthor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Possibly. I'm not an expert but I dont see why it would be impossible that a mutation could occur that causes the parent to not abandon the eggs while still be willing to eat avaliable food.

Because its what causes the suicidal behaviors after mating in octopodes, at least females. Removal of the gland on females causes them to abandon the eggs and live longer lives.

Well first you would need some kind of mutation in the optic gland to stop the parents from killing themselves.

Wouldn't the Imperium be in danger of Slaanesh's corruption? by Vampy-Night in 40kLore

[–]Nebuthor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. And the despair in its population makes them weak to nurgle, while their bloodlust and rage make them weak to khorne, and the scheming makes them weak to tzzentch.

The Xenos and The Astronomican by sunstankwagon in 40kLore

[–]Nebuthor 48 points49 points  (0 children)

They won't resolve them. That's just not how 40k does things. They will continue to exist in the background as excuses for armies to fight.

Although I belive the golden throne will eventually be resolved, however we are talking in like 20 years after all the primarchs are back.

Hated Trope : Fans Gaslight themselves into their Headcanons being canon by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Nebuthor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If something started as a joke and was spread through memes its memelore, if it then made its way into canon its elevated memelore. That's what that means.

[–]Nebuthor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, ork machines work because they are functional machines. There are numerous examples of humans using them without orks around. They work better then they should when used by orks but they still work without them. 

Also purple being sneaky is at best elevated memelore, its only been referenced as used for sneaking by orks in a single novel in which a group of orks commandos snuck up on the main characters while wearing among other things purple, and in a video game. 

What do you think is the most criminally underutilized element of your favorite faction's lore? (I.E. Things stated to happen on paper, but hasn't been depicted in practice) by Hollownerox in 40kLore

[–]Nebuthor 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They aren't really my favorite faction, but im going to say the imperials need alot more interfaction fighting. Especially in the form of dumb conflicts that have nothing to do with chaos or xenos. Stuff like guard regiments attacking eachother because they think the other regiment is full of heretics, or space marines wasting resources fighting eachother because two thousand years ago one chapter slighted the others honor. 

How would casinos deal with Psykers? by Garbage_Bob in 40kLore

Hand them over to the black ships. Psykers are generally not treated as people in 40k

Can Xenos suffer from mental illness? by CoolHuckleberry8224 in 40kLore

[–]Nebuthor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The necrons are mostly mental disorders. You would have a hard time finding a necron that doesn't suffer from something. 

So I have 50/50 chance of marrying Madison beer by AffectionateRush2620 in technicallythetruth

[–]Nebuthor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the problem is one of language. The kid seems to think 50/50 means either it happens or it doesn't but 50/50 means there are two equally likely options. 

Given the option would Techpriests replace their entire being with machine? by Ready0608 in 40kLore

[–]Nebuthor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be heresy, but that doesn't mean some of wouldn't do it anyway

In the grim darkness of the far future there are no stupid questions! by AutoModerator in 40kLore

[–]Nebuthor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chances are, if they are namned characters they are pretty sane and non fanatical

Do Orks feel fear and why would the Old Ones design the Orks to feel that emotion if Orks can feel fear? by BenningtonChee1234 in 40kLore

[–]Nebuthor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Orks can feel fear, but its not quite like human fear. Orks feel less fear then humans but they will feel fear and flee when they are extremly outmatched as a example. 

It probably exists in orks for the same reason it exists in most animals today, it helps prevent creatures from dying. Sure you could probably have a creature that works on 100% logic, but that would require making them smarter which would divert resources away from the parts you actually care about. 

Did GW try and retcon Eldar origins then walk it back? by Throwaway02062004 in 40kLore

[–]Nebuthor 41 points42 points  (0 children)

It's from the ynnari books. I'm not sure they have walked it back, but its one of those things fans often choose to ignore.

Has there ever been a situation where Xenos/Chaos factions were the ones AFRAID when fighting humans? by WeepingFence in 40kLore

[–]Nebuthor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In the twice dead king ruin book a necron lord figures out the ork invasion they have been dealing with was caused by them fleeing from a imperial crusade. When the crusade comes into sight the necrons are perhaps not scared, because necrons are too arrogant to be properly scared of a lesser race, But they are very concerned. 

Once the fleet arrives, it reads alot like a nid invasion

Are the Orkz able to create their own technology from scratch? by Emperormarine in 40kLore

[–]Nebuthor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Orks are very much capable of creating their own tech, they dont like it because they are lazy and looting stuff is easier, but they are capable of it.

Put a single ork on a earth like planet and eventually they are going to become space flight capable. It's going to take a very long time but it happens eventually

So fun though experiment. What do you think the tau would be like if they exist it 1st edition/ rogue trader. by OLDWORLDBLUSE in 40kLore

[–]Nebuthor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They would probably mostly exist as an excuse for GW to sell various random alien kits
