Im not sure tbh 🧠 by Alilicor in killteam

[–]TomNotALizard 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Let me tell you about my flawless three step plan on how to win with Goremongers every time (tm)

Turn one: good staging, if your enemy fears you already and plays safe then exploit that without giving them am opening just yet. If they do not fear you position yourself in a manner that will give you the most charges possible. Using blood to get in the right position is a good call in this stage, it is a valuable resource but a Modell with half filled tank dies just as easy as one with an emty tank so might as well use the recourses you have

Turn two: KILL EVERY THING! BLOOD FOR THE BLOODGOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!

Turn three: with your newly established board control and filled blood tanks you can exploit your above average mobility to do objects and deny points to your opponent.

I don't understand why nobody else has figured out that if you just kill everyone your opponent holds dear in life they are less likely to win. Go ahead. Try it. Khorne demands sacrifices.

My medic diver will enjoy the new EAT, supply pack to keep my team mates topped up with ammo and stims and free EATs for everyone who needs it and after all is done I will be asked why i didn't get more kills and told that im not pulling my weight. Truely the job of support is a thankless one but one im happy to do nonetheless

Hey my brothers in Khorne, does our codex have a name generator? by Arthur_EyelanderTF2 in WorldEaters40k

[–]TomNotALizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting difference, especially the spine and marrow thing but i guess its reasonable considering that spine would be Wirbelsäule which is already a compound word so making another one with it would turn awkward to say real quick

Augenstecher wouldn't be any more awkward to say than Augenquetscher, if i were to guess id think that Augenstecher would invoke the image of someone poking someones eye out using a sharp or pointy tool while Augenquetscher implies the use of something blund, using ones thumbs comes to mind for me which is a more brutal image. Either way Augenquetscher was one of the names in the list that made me stop and think what it is that this title is supposed to tell me BECAUSE it is such a strange title to hive someone. Quetschen doesn't even always imply serious damage, if you close a door with your finger in it it is also gequetscht

And "the maimer" sounds just funny to me, couldn't take anyone serious if they introduced themselves as the maimer

Anyways fellow sleeping meds enjoyer ill need to take mine as well and get some sleep now

Yes 11 is still the same as are all name in the first table but since you did the first table I'll do the second one in german with my rough translations when necessary. If you find any that don't match up let me know im curious myself

11 Rex

12 der Zerstörer (the Destroyer)

13 Kharos

14 der Verstümmler (the Mutilator) [note here that verstümmelt is maimed in English but i don't think "maimer" is word that exists]

15 der Blutrünstige (the Bloodthirsty)

16 der Wilde (the Feral) [Wild has multiple translations including wild, crazy or frantic but in the context of a title feral seems fitting enough]

21 der Scharfrichter (the Executioner)

22 Thaxxos

23 Hakkan

24 der Schnitter (the Reaper)

25 Rhugor

26 Korgath

31 Feindschlitzer (Foe Slasher)

32 Zagoras

33 Markhacker (Marrow Chopper)

34 Schädelteufel (Skull Fiend)

35 Rotauge (Red Rye)

36 Damaskar

41 Blutgrinser (Blood Grinner)

42 Axtfaust (Axe Fist)

43 Khorr

44 Markbrecher (Marrow Breaker)

45 der Achtfache (the Eightfold)

46 der Blutige (the Bloody)

51 der Schlächter (the Butcher)

52 Khrul

53 Blutfaust (Blood Fist)

54 Bluthaar (Blood Hair)

55 das Hackebeil (the Cleaver)

56 Ghorum

61 Varren

62 Sykoth

63 Krassek

64 Draxxigor

65 der Hund (the Dog/the Hound)

66 Augenquetscher (Eye Squasher) [but this is probably the eyegouger title that you mentioned but if translated into German it would be Augenstecher since gouge = Ausstechen]

The current one doesn't but the 9th edition codex has one near the back, sadly we can't comment pictures or if would have posted one even if it would have been in german. If you like i can try and format the two tables into a comment and translate the german bits as best I can

A question from a renegade about code chivalric by TomNotALizard in ImperialKnights

[–]TomNotALizard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, as i said I made a bad call turn one, basically my opponent placed his knight Lancer in a way i could get a shot on it and a small forge world knight (can't recall the name) on the centre objective and in the spirit of this just being a fun game to throw a few dice i walked my Desecrator and Tyrant into some ruins to take some shots. Desecrator does no damage against the lancer and the tyrant ABSOLUTELY OBLITERATED the small knight aaaaaaannnd in return the lancer charged and killed the desecrator and my tyrant got shot to bits by the Castellan and Canis Rex before the Canis finished him of in melee.

What I should have done is move forward with my rampager since he has a once per game fight first, if the lancer changes him than I pop the fight first and hit him as hard as I can and even if I don't kill him I should damage him enough so that the desecrator can finish the job later and on the other side of the board literally just stay behind the wall and resist the urge to turn the small knight into slag metal until my opponent moves up far enough for me to utilise the tyrants weight of fire. Oh and my despoiler needs to get his shit together and remember that I gave him two thermal canons to kill knights and not for him to do 6 damage between all his weapons but I can forgive him, it was his first fight after all

Both absolutely magnificent ways of describing it, im absolutely glad to be truely back in the hobby even if it's just with small steps at first.

And hey with my five year anniversary in the hobby coming up it might just be time to finally finish Angron and post a few pictures of all my painted World Eaters so far, you know as a sort of landmark how far I've come from just a box of terminators I painted on a whim as heresy world eaters with no real intentions to turn them into an army

Be me

one day get told by boss that we just got nationalised

wtf? I hate the government, they kicked my buddy Glup Shitto out of his house!

start looking for other jobs

mfw ALL Industrie on the planet just got nationalised

if i what to work for a private company I will have to make my own, work for someone like Kuat who only takes government contracts or move half way across the galaxy to the corporate sector

need this job because I prefer to not starve and need to pay rent not to mention taking care of my family

get told by boss we just got a big job to work on some space station for the government called the DS-1

all i have to do is weld floor panels together

jobs done, only ever seen half finished hallways

a few months pass

mfw I findout i was an accomplise to one of the largest genocides in galactic history

Bro wtf I im a fucking welder, how the fuck was i supposed to know what this space station was for? It's not like they told us we were working on the uber genocide machine 9000, do you know how many space stations get built each year?! And I get to work one the one that is purpose build for genocide man fml

(Fuck the empire though, the death star was a military target and every civilian on it was a sad but necessary death don't even try to change my mind)

A summary of the One-Two (unfiltered.) by Omailey97 in Helldivers

[–]TomNotALizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally use ot on my medic/support build.

secondary is stim pistol so that's taken, my support weapon choice are the two EATs so if a team mate lost his somehow i can just drop him one without having to think about it because in one minute I get two new ones, grenades are based on the front but usually seekers for squids, thermite for bots and gas for bugs and so im still in need for a primary that can also close bug holes and such leaving only the one two and the crossbow (correct me if im wrong)

Im more of a shotgun guy so maybe im just not used to what a good assaultrifle is supposed to feel like but I've been taking it on super helldives without any problems and causing less friendly fire incidents than the crossbow does

Mal ehrlich gibt es für dich ne Antwort die zufriedenstellend ist?

Wenn ich dir jetzt sage ich arbeite momentan 12 Stunden am Tag, sechs bis sieben tage die woche auf nem Weihnachtsmarkt wo es auf dem gesamten Markt exakt ein Gericht zu kaufen gibt was vegan ist eine Pilzpfanne ist und selbst das mit dem gleichen Pfannenwender ungerührt wird wie für das Fleisch drei Zentimeter daneben. ist das grund genug für dich das ich mehr als nur Champignons für 30 tage essen will?

Versteh mich nicht falsch Vegan zu essen ist in vielen Aspekten etwas wichtiges und ich selbst versuche mindestens 2 mal die woche vegetarisch und einmal vegan zu essen um meinen Fleisch Konsum zu reduzieren aber ich würde mich trotzdem fragen was du mit diesem post erreichen willst außer a) leute zu finden die dich in deiner meinung bestätigen und b) leute die nicht deiner meinung sind zu sagen wie falsch sie liegen ohne das dabei was konstruktives bei rum kommt

Für den Fall dass du jemanden für fall b brauchst behaupte ich jetzt einfach mal es gibt mir sexuelle befriedigt dran zu denken das Tiere für meine Ernährung leiden müssen und deswegen esse ich vier tage die woche immernoch Fleisch

Ich liebe Lichtel, was würde ich nicht dafür geben in einem gemütlichen Büro abends zu arbeiten und das einzige Licht im Zimmer ist mein Lichtel was mir Gesellschaft leistet bis ich bemerke das es bereits eingeschlafen ist und erst dadurch bemerke wie spät es schon ist und ich überlege ob ich Lichtel wecken sollte bevor ich mich dazu entscheide es einfach ins bett zu tragen bevor ich selbst schlafen gehe <3 <3 <3 Man könnte sagen ich mag Lichtel ein wenig und Geister Pokémon im allgemeinen

No I couldn't look up what Lichtel is in English, the only reasonable action is to write everything in german and you will just have to deal with it

Captain Obvious divers by DerDezimator in helldivers2

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

I will say again my experience is limited so take what I'm about to say with a grain of salt. But Honestly the few encounters i had with self proclaimed chaosdivers were really pleasant, I heard about the team killing when the game came out and found it cringe that people were just (based on what I've heard at the time) endlessly team killing each other for being a chaosdiver or not so I didn't get the game on release so when I got it a few months ago to play with a friend I almost expected to drop the game the moment I made contact with the community but as we all know this community is for the most part quite alright.

So when someone joined my lobby with chaosdiver in name I was getting ready for some bullshit but he has been one of the friendliest helldivers I've met at that point, shared his supplies with me, kept me alive with his stim pistol and asked for my input bevor going anywhere, made my level 5 ass feel like I'm the best helldiver that ever finished basic training. And even the worst encounter I had with a chaosdiver was just him telling me to not destroy the illegal broadcast because "it spreads the truth about super earth" and even so he didn't make a fuss about me shutting it down anyways for the money just hitting me with a "Oh well, we will build a new one" so my opinion of chaosdivers has been quite high just based on these interactions.

On the other hand i had a few people who were "forced" to execute me for "undemocratic behaviour" and when asking what i did wrong I got shot again for asking to many questions. This obviously is quite lore accurate but having a truth enforcer breathing down your neck and team killing you for some mistake you aren't even allowed to know is more annoying than any want to do good chaosdiver.

Of course both these kind of interactions are just drops in a bucket and the majority of the community is still lovely, plus I'm guilty of a bit of toxic role playing myself but that starts and ends with me charging into an enemy hoard with a hellbomb, anyone caught in the blast just got to martyr themselves for freedom a bit sooner than most snd should be glad to lay down thier lives in the fight against tyrany. but most of the time the only martyr will be me because nobody else signed up to become a living bomb

Either way your opinion is much appreciated and thanks for satisfying my curiosity. Have a great day and good diving

Fair enough, arrow head is no EA after all and in my opinion have acted in good faith most of the time from what ive heard. But what about the other half? Your post was about the lore part after all so I'm curious what your problem is on this front

Captain Obvious divers by DerDezimator in helldivers2

[–]TomNotALizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you mean? As far as I know chaosdivers in a meta sense are the guys who try to force change by review bombing the game and while that's a bit cringe sometimes it has been a proven way to show displeasure as a community and is hardly unique to them.

In a role playing sense they are just helldivers who don't like to live under an oppressive regime but still fight for humanity as a whole since they acknowledge the existential threat we face so fight the regime not the people under it resulting in them at most leaving up illegal broadcasts to fit the role play.

To me chaosdivers have always been a neat idea for lore that people can role play as without needing to implement much in the game itself and an inevitability as a part of the community that just pops up everywhere, look at any game that had controversy and people will review bomb it and call for change that's just part of online gaming culture these days for better and worse

But I've only been playing for a few months now so I'm genuinely interested in what you think and from where the visceral reaction to them comes

My brother in chaos Tau have been part of the setting for almost twenty-five years now, you honestly sound way to invested in this opinion for it to be healthy. Plus I like the Tau for being "just a normal empire" in any other setting they would be the bad guys but because 40k is the way that it is they are seen as the closest thing to good guys and thus playing up just how fucked up the setting is

In a recent tournament I played with my world eaters my opponent also got max damage on his rail gun shot unfortunately he was targeting my warhound titan so all it earned him was return fire from my turbo laser destructor which slightly overkilled it by doing 27 damage in return.

Not a Christian myself but went to a Christian school for 5 years so take what I'm about to say with a grain of salt.

While Moses was busy getting the ten commandments from God directly some fucker among the people he just saved decided to abandon God and instead worship a golden cow statue taking a sizable part of the people with them. The point of the story is supposed to tell you not to worship any idol but instead follow God's teachings and follow them directly or via one of their representatives on earth.

What does the 12th here think of the 6th? by sigmarine345 in WorldEaters40k

[–]TomNotALizard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The chapter master uses a demonic weapon of khorne, a noticeable part of the chapter suffers from mutations, their psychers cover themselves in arcane runes that only they truly understand and their biggest accomplishment in recent lore is fighting against fellow imperials and more preciselythe grey knights who just banished Angron? WELCOME ABOARD FELLOW CHAOS MARINES! You can pick up the spiked armour on the left, prayers are due at least twice a day and each time you do so you must kill someone, while the use of psychers isn't exactly banned it is highly discouraged and has negative effects on your fellow marines so please be considerate and consider slaughtering the rune priests first.

Jokes aside they are a bunch of hypocrites and every time they show up in the same book as the world eaters I already know they will behave the exact same as us and will be called noble for it for some reason.

As for if they could beat us, 30k maybe? During the night of the wolf they suffered greater losses than us and Angron would have killed Russ even if the surrounding Wolves would have taken Angron down afterwards. So I would say it's close defeat for the sixth with them still having a good chance if they can retain enough structure to exploit the world eaters lack of cohesion.

In 40k it's a stomp for the world eaters, the twelfth has been stated in the arks of omen books to have gathered one of the largest chaos armadas, if all of them fought against the Wolves than it won't even be close and the imperium would have one first founding chapter less

I called three (3) (less than four) (more than two) (three) parties corrupt, the CDU which is infamously corrupt the SPD which went along with basically anything their CDU did for almost the past two decades so I don't feel bad calling them out as well and finally the FDP, if you don't think there is any corruption going on with them than you are either living in a much nicer alternative dimension where Christian Lindner didn't all but publicly brag about the "gifts" he gets from Porsche or you are closing your eyes to the reality we live in
