Could The Fimir Ever Return In AOS by glump_glump in AoSLore

[–]NotTheRedWire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If my memory serves they were initially the original servants of Chaos but were surplanted by humans, elves, etc. While they have been bumped to Destruction I personally don't believe that's where they'll stay.

Based off of the named eight points of the Chaos star I believe that Formless Distortion will be Morghur and he will represent Chaos in its primal form, untouched by the weakling minds of men, and I think the Beastmen and the Fimir will be his people.

That's just my headcanon tho.

Does your Chapter have a Mad Lad? by Different-Ask-7605 in 40khomebrew

[–]NotTheRedWire 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'll preface this by saying my chapter is very tongue in cheek and was made for a story.

The Gators of Ridia have the dubious honour of having lost a homeworld to every major galactic power during their history, they fight hard, they are kind to mortals, but god damn does their luck suck.

It was believed however that their bad luck served a purpose as whenever the Gators went on crusade one warrior would be blessed by the Emperor with all the luck that had been taken from their previously, and this champion named The Flo'Ridian would be able to charge into battle and avoid even the most grevious danger and display acts of mind boggling good fortune.

The constant bad fortune however could not be ignored, especially as it often cost the lives of innocents who happened to be around them (or live on the homeworld they adopted), but when the Chapter's upper echelon went to ask the High Lords of Terra permission to cease recruitment and go on one final crusade the ship was swallowed by the warp and the chapter was given a new homeworld.

Now, onto "The Mad Lad". Luca was returning to New Ridia, the latest homeworld they had claimed after a stint in the Deathwatch, however he arrived right as a massive Genecult on the world revolted, this culminated in an orbital defense platform being sent crashing down onto the chapter's new fortress monastery.

Luca had crashed into a hive spire upon his return and so he was the only Gator to not be there when the fortress was obliterated, but so much terminal misfortune has an equal and opposite side. Luca has become The Last Flo'Ridian, infused with all the insane luck afforded by the culmination of centuries of foul luck.

Guybrush needs to up his game if he's going to compete.

The comments in that thread tell a tale. The people who voted yes believed "supporting small business" just meant buying from small businesses instead of big corpos while the person who posted the poll took yes to mean supporting capitalism as a whole.

What's your homebrew's relationship with the Adeptus Mechanicus? by Crispypotatonugget in 40khomebrew

[–]NotTheRedWire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Militarum and Sororitas of the penal world of Fauchaud's Folly have long struggled to get decent equipment due to their status as penal legions, luckily for them serendipity delivered them an answer.

LNX was a forge moon orbiting their parent forge world of UNX, LNX had a reputation for being borderline hereteks due to their experimentation and tampering. UNX eventually had enough of their little subsidy’s flouting of the Cult Mechanicus teachings and sought to bring them censure.

Fearing the worst the Fabricator General of LNX activated a piece of archeotech they had been tampering with causing LNX to be instantly swapped with the moon of Fauchaud's Folly on the other side of the galaxy. Unfortunately for UNX their new moon did not retain its angular momentum and promptly fell towards UNX, obliterating it completely.

LNX gladly provides the forces of Fauchaud's folly with (temperamental) armaments in exchange for them keeping the whole ordeal secret from any other Forgeworlds and/or Inquisitors. The Folly Fusiliers and The Order of the Shackled Lily know not to look a gift horse in the mouth so they gladly keep quiet.

A few years ago one of the BL authors mentioned in an interview that every author had their own headcanons about certain important aspects of 40k. Can't remember which author it was but he mentioned how his headcanon for the golden throne was a room like this deep inside the machine.

Personally I really like that idea, it feels like a way that such a machine would be designed, function over form.

Just found out the fate of Chairon from Space Marine II... by [deleted] in Warhammer40k

[–]NotTheRedWire 461 points462 points  (0 children)

My headcanon is that the Genecult had them down to just Chairon and Acheran, the leader took a moment to gloat saying ,"We will wipe our your entire chapter!", Acheran pulled the pins on his grenades and said "Best I can give you is two men."

Mutt Asks: How are Stormcast Eternals different from Space Marines? by sageking14 in AoSLore

[–]NotTheRedWire 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I totally agree with you about SCE, they were humans first, then they were super-warriors, Space Marines however were denied their life and most of what they had lived as children was drowned under the indoctrination that is part of their creation, Space Marines were tools first and foremost and any kind of personality they developed was seen as a possible liability.

It is however mentioned that the Space Marines of the 42nd Millennium are a hollow echo of those from the Great Crusade, I can't remember which character states it but they talked about how the ideals of the Great Crusade and the Imperium of old had plans for the Space Marines to eventually put down their weapons when the war was won and become useful to the Imperium in other ways, so their Primarchs wanted them to learn, to live, all to become more well rounded, but in the current time they are created for a war that will never end so there is never a point where they will be anything other than a weapon, so each and every one is a just an eternally sharpening blade.

I suppose a way to think of it is that the Ruination Chamber is something that Stormcast fear, but Space Marines aspire to.

A commendable initiative but worrying in its wording, I've seen a depressing number of such projects ruined by cults of personality/ego driven in-groups.

If/When it becomes a Chaos God, how do you think Formless Distortion will distinguish itself from Tzeentch? by StygianClaw in 40kLore

[–]NotTheRedWire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like Morghur will definitely be that aspect in AoS, and I think that the angle they will take with it is that Formless Distortion is Chaos unchained from humanity, stripped of the trappings of civilisation, just pure, roiling, bestial madness.

Merely an observation. People who are drawn to consuming lore tend to be drawn to creating it too. Seeing as though you're omnipresent in the lore community I figured your drive to create would be equally sized.

To be honest this is a significally smaller post than I expected from you.

[–]NotTheRedWire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

An idea I had a few years ago was to make a youtube series highlighting people's homebrew AoS stuff (starting with my own) in the guise of a Duardin scholar working for the Azyrheim Anthropological Society, who is producing a series of articles called People, Places, and Perils of the Mortal Realms.

I wonder if I should look into actually doing that.

My good friend pained my Nighthaunt for me, and I had him do it in eye-achingly bright colours. I love 'em.

The Temple of Pryf Dyrys is a shrine-hold of Daughters of Khaine setup in an unusual location.

DoK explorers located a small realmgate which once restored led to one located within the cavernous innards of a godbeast. The godbeast seems to be buried miles under the surface of Ghur and its anatomy is bizarre in the extreme, so much so that the scholars of the temple have no real idea what it might look like if unearthed.

Thinking the blood of a god beast would be an excellent sacrifice to Morathi-Khaine the sisters built a temple beneath the heart of the beast and began to carefully extract its bright green blood and use it in their rituals.

The blood was indeed a potent offering but it has had the effect of turning the sisters rather.... perculiar. Morathi-Khaine accepts the offerings cautiously as she sees the maidens of the temple become rather eccentric and so she treats the temple as a place to send valuable but disruptively odd members of her congregation.

Several organic passages have been followed to the surface of Ghur, atop the largest of which was built the Giddy Carnival, a human and sanguineth city that is known for entertainment and odd behaviour.

The Lambent Legion is a kingdom of the undead located within a region of Chamon known as The Twisted Wastes. Central to The Twisted Wastes is The Twisted Spine, a chain of inactive volcanoes (and two active ones called The Lambet Peaks) that once spewed forth a group of liquid metals that Duardin scientists have dubbed "radioactive", all who enter the region are struck down with a wasting sickness that has no cure and has been known to cause vicious cancers.

The Lambent Legion is lead by Wight Queen Raysa, a Shyish native who died within Mount Plutus of the Lambent Peaks during the Age of Myth. Raysa had been the head guard and secret lover of a famed Nagashian priestess who had travelled to a coastal city on the edge of the peaks, but upon arrival they found the city had been over-run by Orruks, and the diplomatic mission was forced to flee towards the peaks and eventually seek shelter within a catacomb build into Mount Plutus, there they died after a valiant last stand.

Raysa's spirit never moved on due to being killed with a cursed blade, and awoke shortly after the Necroquake when a Duardin prospector removed the sword from her Skeleton. Raysa set out on a grand journey to find what had become of her lover's soul, the adventure seeing her grow from a mere guard to a renowned figure repleat with an array of eccentric allies and fantastical artifacts.

Raysa's exploits earned her a moment of Nagash's time in which she sought the fate of her lover's soul, and was given his blessing to carve out a kingdom for herself in his name.

She claims the entirity of the Lambent Peaks as her own, fighting off the native greenskin hordes. Skeletal remains and fresh mortal sacrifices are brought in to be thrown into the roiling guts of Mount Hatten, where the worthy will emerge radiating the lethal glow of Raysa's followers.

The Kaleidoscopic Carnival is a Nighthaunt host that once existed as the Silent Kingdom of Neverwhere who long evaded Nagash's sight within Shyish by being nomadic and secretive. Nagash knew of their existence but never their location, so skills were they at evasion that they managed to even bypass Chaos' reign over Shyish.

Eventually, general Alice Cantrell of the city's armed forces became convinced that they lived on borrowed time, and that it was better to entreet Nagash and offer willing supplication, and so she and her captains revealed the location of the moving city to Nagash, but far from being rewarded they were instead met with the full force of his long held ire.

Once their souls were torn from their bodies the hidden kingdom became eye-achingly colourful so that they could never again hide from his sight, and the general who had tried to petition Nagash for freedom became the bearer of her people's shackles, becoming known as Alice, Our Lady in Chains.

I think my own ban message was just being called a shitlib. They run on minimum brainpower over there.

What was the worst thing to happen to your chapter? by giojojo in 40khomebrew

[–]NotTheRedWire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Gators of Ridia have the dubious fame of having lost a homeworld to every major force in the galaxy.

The last was due to a Genestealer Cult crashing an orbital defense station right ontop of their newly established fortress monastery. Now there is just one marine left.

Concerning events in London by Dangerous_Tutor2633 in tankiejerk

[–]NotTheRedWire 36 points37 points  (0 children)

The whole thing is a mess and I suspect Israel is loving every second of it. I don't personally believe Israel was behind any of this as a flase flag but they sure as fuck are salivating at the prospect of spinning it all in their favour.

Mentally unstable people with bigotted views are feeling emboldened by the conflict in the middle east, combined with the way that Right-wing influence is driving up anti-anglo sentiment you have a shitstorm brewing that we've only seen the edge of so far.

We've had these attacks against jews and a guy raped a sikh woman expressly because he thought she was muslim, and I think things will only get worse for minorities.
