This is the individual who did my banner. A great artist and especially good at 40k art! Would 100% recommend!

Did some Servitor art last night, took some 2 hours, pretty happy with it Channeling your misery apparently works, and I kinda get moody horror art now

Armored vehicle thought for 40k. Since 90% of space marine vehicles used to be Rhino related (Predators, vindicators, razorbacks, etc.) wouldn't it be funny to see the results. Like a Predator takes a hit from a properly made tank and the shell doesn't fuse because the armor is so relatively thin. Like it's basically just the M113 of the future, so let it be the aluminum bathtub of the future!

Maybe chaos marines staple things to the front and sides which makes the engine buckle and struggle. Some sort of additional ceramite plates or even sandbags on the front to mitigate a hit from something like a Lascannon/Las Fusil. Also the fact they're sorta lightly armed for a transport is all the funnier to me. Let the Rhino carry the equivalent of the AAV's load out in a Heavy Stubber/Bolter and some sort of grenade launcher.

So, we've got the animals for the big five chaos gods.

Khorne has cattle/bulls/hounds.

Slaanesh has snakes.

Tzeentch has ravens/eagles/birds.

Nurgle has toads/flies/frogs/crows.

The Great Horned Rat is a bit self explanatory.

Now, I want to know what Malal/Malice has as an animal motif. Like I get the rest. Khorne enjoys all the pet marines/warriors. Slaanesh is kinda duplicitous. Tzeentch is all about being kind of like Odin. Nurgle has the rot/gross things in popular opinions. The great horned rat has rats. What does Malal/malice get is it like... cats?

[funky40kthoughts]

So, Khornates wear collars right? And they used to have horns and bells and things? Does this mean that Khornates are cattle? Like not in a derogatory way, but they seem like the fun bull/cattle set up. Would be a really fun thing to see some of the old theming and see what happens.

P.S. if the average Khornate chosen/CSM has a brass collar that just means you need to get a leash.

there basically isn't a single established action archetype that you can't improve tenfold by making it a girl

You folks ever think that the various different factions from Warhammer Fantasy would be at least kind of interesting in 40k?

Like I love some of the 40k stuff, but I find the Jakhals and things like that to be a more... Word Bearer idea than a World Eater one to me. Like Bloodgors would be really an interesting idea to oppose Tzaangors. The Beastmen getting some larger rep would be fun and while I understand they still exist we borderline never get to see them.

Squats got removed and the Leagues of Votaan kinda feel like a bandaid to me. Take that as you will.

Skaven becoming the Hrud seems cool, but also it seems like another attempt at looking over it. This is coming from a fan of the Hrud thanks to their involvement in Iron Warriors lore.

Plus it would make chaos so much more interesting! The idea that the gods are somewhat multifaceted rather than just gratuitously evil! I know that it feels like it would defeat the point to a degree, but so does a lot of recent lore. The imperium becoming better should in turn mean that everyone should become better in setting if we're playing with the theming.

[funky40kthoughts]

So, how do folks overall feel about xenos/xenos alliances? Like a group of Asuryani or Drukhari working with Orks to make a doubled down assault. T'au working with other folks as well would be interesting to see. This would be especially interesting to read from the Xenos perspective and make a point of how absolutely doomed the Imperium would be if anyone else could get over their issues and work together.

Real space raids to capture slaves, mass torture, various different kinds of political intrigue to turn against one another and bullying people. Oh, and technically feeding an evil god that this behavior birthed to keep themselves alive longer.

Question wh40k.

What is the evil thing that your faction is doing?

I know it's supposed to be "every side is evil", but on the other side I keep hearing a lot of justification. So I'm wondering what your fav faction is doing wrong.

[funky40kthoughts]

Gene Stealer Cults and their consequences have been a disaster for anyone who claims the imperium is justified in all it's actions not merely due to their prolific nature, but by highlighting one of the great imperial flaws. Religion is not the flaw of the Imperium otherwise I would refer to the Word Bearers. I instead refer to the mass amounts of bad things that happen on hives that enable the propagation of GSC.

[funky40kthoughts]

Would y'all mind if I posted a fanfic or two up here? I just been thinking of some plots and getting a little giddy.

[funky40kthoughts]

Which group of Imperial would make the best type of pet for an Archon from Commorragh? Like would it be Inquisitors, Rogue Traders, or maybe someone else? Like, just thinking.

[funky40kthoughts]

Warhammer Dating Sim!

Is this anything? Like what would you even actually focus on in a dating sim in 40k? Also I'm not talking about games with a romance side plot, I'm talking romance is the plot.

[funky40kthoughts]

Do y'all think that aspects of Warhammer fantasy would have made 40k a little better? Like chaos being a little more balanced out rather than being just plain evil. Like I know folks want Khorne to be a god of honor and that was a fantasy detail they wacked from 40k. Nurgle as an entity of rebirth. Tzeentch as a god of hope! All of these things could have been so much better.

Plus chaos Elves were real and kinda made sense. Like I get Slaanesh eating the souls of Eldar and all that, but wouldn't that make it beneficial to back some other aspects of Chaos in an attempt to kill Slaanesh? Like a Farseer falling to Tzeentch, an autarch falling to Nurgle in an attempt to save their Craftworld, or an Exarch falling to Khorne in an attempt to avenge their lost brethren. All would be cool. Not to mention it would cause interesting problems in Commorragh!

[funky40kthoughts]

PS to anyone who wants to ask questions, my DMs are open I think. Will be willing to discuss things and some of the more deranged ideas I have there!

[funky40kthoughts]

I think Word Bearers should get Tzaangors, Jakhals, Pox Walkers, and whatever possessed units. They would be great and could be some fun. Like they are the possessed/cultist legion, so that would be excellent to see for some variation. Plus a Word Bearer Master of Possession having all these options for daemonic vessels would be great.

[funky40kthoughts]

I will admit one thing that I find an interesting concept. Wouldn't it be kinda funny to reverse the trend that so many Warhammer novels seem to be going down of Xenos women being treated as a prize. Have some Xenos women take humans as their little trophy spouse! Have some xenos men take a space marine and keep them on display as their little guy! Earnestly I think it would be a comedic piece of lore and hell, I don't even mind Custodes being on the list of yoinked individuals.

Like I love Trazyn and his collection, but I want more books with characters that are interested in humanity to a degree. A Cryptek woman interested in the human form and she kidnaps Sororitas! A Farseer who's got some tenuous alliance with the Black Templars and his goal is to save Maiden World and Biel-Tan! A gender-fluid Drukhari Archon who collects human/Space Marine/Custodes concubines because of a sadistic obsession with breaking the finest of humanity! Have a Tau try to break the psychological conditioning of whatever human they've captured and 'Enlighten' them!

Let us see the xenos be really fucked up from their own POV rather than the standard "They're evil and capturing humans" guard/space marine pov. Xenos wins overall would be great!

Here's a cool piece of 40k official art to accompany this. From the Piety and Pain box set.
