Might be related to the whole Sanguinor vs the dark angel thing from the warp. Mephiston became the avatar of the dark angel and it was said that the Sanguinor was losing that fight that was described the fight for the fate of the blood angels. and Dante turning from Blonde to Dark hair in the rubicon could be physical representation of that fact. But again complete speculation since there is no lore coverage from his ascencion to primaris.

    The absurdity of the Ork meme originated from a single quote by a junior member of the Adeptus Mechanicus having and Ork Shoota to investigated, and he said "It is so crude it shouldn't work, but it does - it is infuriating!" And people couldn't read subtlety.

      Is the subtlety that while Orks are a bunch of brutes, they are still capable of cunning works of brutality? I mean Orks are both brutally cunning and cunningly brutal just like Gork and Mork. Their weapons and vehicles maybe so crude that to a non-Ork they should not work but Ork cunning made built them so they work as intended for the Orks.

  • @axktrick8521
    @axktrick8521 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +49

    the thing about the blood ravens being kleptomaniacs comes from how there's a ton of stuff being attributed to other chapters that you can find in dawn of war 2 like you said, but the thing that people always miss is that you're not supposed/able to recieve all of it in a single playthrough, since they randomly drop. so for a single player's individual experience, you should really only come across 1-2 pieces of wargear that say they were gifted by another chapter, however when you look at them all in the big picture that gifted quality starts to show up a lot. so it gets blown way out of proportion by looking at it all at once, when a player was never meant to see it all at once, and so the "canon" of what stuff the blood ravens actually had was meant to differ from playthrough to playthrough.

      I mean while true, at the same time, there's tidbits in the flavour text of the relics that also build up the meme that they might have illegitimately collected relics from other chapters. Example:
      Pistol of Baal - A unique Mark III Bolt Pistol, this relic has the trademark bloody teardrop of the Blood Angels stamped upon the pistol's grip. The Chapter's records indicate that this weapon was acquired during a ceremonial exchange of arms between themselves and the Blood Angels in the 37th Millennium, though oddly, the Blood Angels possess no records of such an exchange

    Ok I’ll grant you that the Space Wolves aren’t supposed to be purely wolf themed, but honestly I feel like some writers forget that. The fact that everything has to be named after wolves to a point where we need a lore (or head canon Idk) explanation for why is pretty funny.
    Also I think the thing that makes them “furries” is the whole having wolf DNA and occasionally turning into wolf men. Something the other animal themed legion don’t quite do.

It’s not an uncommon notion, I don’t know why you’re acting like you’ve never heard this before. Even back in 2010, if people were playing Worgen in Cataclysm, it was common for them to be called furries. You can argue it’s a stupid joke, but it’s not a new concept.

      @@Jitterzz No, werewolves have only ever been regarded as furries...by furries. Literally everyone else considers werewolves as an actual viable nightmare fuel level of myth/folklore.
      Also if you think 2010 is worthy of a "back then" you are too young to be in such a discussion mate. That is still recent as far as history is concerned.
      A werewolf is an apex predator that takes out vampires by the dozen. That is their mythology. They are hate, anger, and bloodlust rolled up into a creature that is designed to hunt relentlessly. A furry is a goofball with unnatural hair that gets upset by misgendering and other woke nonsense.
      The problem with space wolves is so many of the authors lost sight of the actual direction they were originally designed in. They were supposed to have units names after various viking things, and DID when they were first released. They had scout units called Munin and Hugin that were robot bird drones. They had Swords of Surtur that belched flames upon stabbing them in the enemy. They even had a 'raiding party' rule where if one marine charged you could have every single marine around him charge as a single action (meaning free movement for all the others). They had combat bikes named Sleipnir (Odin's 8 legged horse) that had their own unique rules and extra sets of guns other bikes didn't have. Then there was the 'All-Father's Sight' upgrade you could do to unit commanders as an upgrade to their helmet that upped the accuracy for the entire squad.
      The authors and GW being idiots is why everything got renamed to wolf this and wolf that. Which ruined the vibe of the whole legion as being way to on the nose from what it was. The whole reason they were named Space Wolves was from the phrase "Wolves of Odin" and had nothing to do with actual wolves in the first place. The guy that created the Space Wolves sadly didn't get to be the one to keep naming and creating their units however.

    Fun thing about the Orks is that their ingenuity and stupidity with their innate psy powers help them make memes turn into canon lore. I'm not 100% sure, but the "purple color is for stealth" started as a meme and joke and then turn into canon by GW. Because of this sometimes I think the Ork lore is written by the 40k dank group of reddit making memes about orks and the best become true.

    Just to highlight how bad shit has to be before they'll slam their foreheads into that big red button and destroy a planet, _Darktide_ is a thing. A world literally infested with Nurglite madness to the point where daemonhosts and chaos spawn are regular occurrences and Imperial forces are basically in a stalemate against one of the most difficult Chaos factions to remove, and they're still sending ground teams trying to win the war instead of going scorched earth.

    • @S3Cs4uN8
      @S3Cs4uN8 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      A lot of that goes to the fact that if Inquisitor Grendyl and his warband lose Atoma Prime they effectively lose the entire Moebian domain along with it so using an Exterminatus on the planet would just be giving a massive W to the forces of Chaos for no benefit. The first Space Marine set on the forge world of Graia also had similar reasons for not getting exterminatus'd either, that it's manufactorums were capable of producing Warlord class titans which isn't something the Imperium or Admech will simply throw away without a tooth and nail fight for it.

    Honestly, part of me wonders if Alpharius actually is alive, as a drmon primarch.
    Perturabo definitely killed Fulgrim during the angel exterminatus events, but doing that is what allowed fulgrim to complete his transformation.
    Alpharius wasn't actively trying for it, but he could have possibly become a mass intelligence that can assume control of any legionnaires who have donned the persona of Alpharius in whatever mission they are carrying out.
    In essence, every alpha legionnaire following alpharius' aims literally is alpharius until alpharius no longer needs them to be.

But if gaz threw it and they had been hyping it up and there was a giant wahhhh happening etc, the random useless object into wah energy bomb could happen imo.
