So Bricky skips over the 2nd and 11th legions because in the official lore, those primarchs and their legions vanished without a trace and all records of them have disappeared.

That's not true. The 2nd and 11th legion are not meant for players to fill in, it just has been repeated by the community without checking. RIck Priestley himself confirmed it. The Lost Legions are only part of the lore as an unknowable mystery to add some spice to the lore. The 1000 space marine chapters are the place for players to make their own lore

[@nekrataali]

It's also a reference to Legio IX Hispana, AKA the Lost Legion (11 - 2 = 9). It was one of those throw-away trivia bits in Rogue Trader. They've maintained it since then since players started to use it as a background for making their own chapters.

Do the primarch of the Ironfist need a comforter... There is some question nobody should ask loudly.

Tank in gaming refers to ones ability to be the person who takes the brunt of all the damage, who has the ability to get everything to attack them, take the damage and be able to survive it. So being "Tanky" just means your hard to kill.

[@mormacil]

From the concept of a military tank. An armored vehicle specifically designed to tank enemy fire unlike things like cannons which are only meant to dish out damage instead of receiving it.

[@marcwittkowski5146]

12:20 "tanky" refers to the role of "tank" in multiplayer games such as MMORPGs. A tank is designed to draw the enemy's attention and take a lot of damage, giving the damage dealing team members the opportunity to... well, damage the enemy without being attacked themselves. The tank is in turn the main "target" of the healer, who works to keep them alive. So someone who is "tanky" can take a lot of damage/ shrug said damage off. Hope that helps :) The whole "coughing on Horus" thing was meant to represent the Emperor killing Horus. And in regards to the gods: They do exist. But they are basically representations of emotions of all beings with souls. A soul is basically your reflection in the Warp, which is the parallel dimension in which the gods and other beings reside. The more you worship them or act in ways that strengthen them, the more powerful they get. So serving and worshipping them makes them more powerful and influential and starving them of worship would weaken or even destroy them. And no, your average joe "40k plumber" does not know about the gods. But that's mainly because the Imperium of Man tries its hardest to suppress any knowledge of them and basically kills everyone who knows of them.

Salamanders are the best legion because they are what a Space Marine should be in temperament. To truly protect the people, you need to care about the people.

To give 3 examples of their kindness, you just need to know what they do during the Third war for Armagueddon, an ork invasion : - While the Ultramarine were defending the hives cities and the Blood-Angel were attacking the orks on the field, the Salamander were occupied with escort duty on supply transfert and on civilian evacuation. A simple but without glory task for a space marine but nonetheless accepted with joy by this chapter. - During a long siege, the Salamanders send their Tech-marines (one of the best of the Imperium, with the Iron Hands chapter) repairing the main water treatment facility of an entire Hive city, saving all the civilian and guardsmen from dehydratation (you must remember that a Space-marine has inhuman endurance, they don't need food or drink as much as a normal man). A guy capable of maintaining a tank in tip-top shape gladly accept to go do some plumbing in a warzone. - A legendary sucker-punch was deliver by the Chapter-Master of the Salamander to a captain of the Marines Malevolent (a TRULY EVIL chapter, loyalist but with many voice asking to declare them heretics) because the orks manage to break inside a refugee camp and the captain immediatly call an artillery strike on it.

[@joshuadunn2]

"Tanky" is a term for characters in an RPG who are built to take damage and force the attention of the enemy on themselves. A "tank" typically has high health, high armor, and their main purpose is usually to act as a "meat shield" that the enemy has to spend time whittling down. Their focus is less on dealing damage and more on just being hard to kill.

[@dagonofthedepths]

One of the quirks of becoming a space marine is it tends to change some physical characteristics of the person becoming one. So, like Raven Guard all tend to get pale skin and black eyes, Space Wolves get yellow eyes and large canines ect. However, they also are recruiting from entire planetary populations and beyond, so a lot of the marines will have a variety of ethnicities and accents. So, on 1 hand all Salamanders do have the coal black skin and blazing red eyes but they're not all of African descent. However, most of them are African just but facial structure, clearly. Honestly, I think that was more because in the past, they were just the "black guy" Chapter, but they wanted to change it to something more inseresting.

[@nekrataali]

They used to be black back in 3rd. Edition with Codex: Armageddon. IMO it's really stupid they changed them to being literally black.

[@genoguzzardi1042]

"Don't the Chaos Gods get jealous of each other?" Yep. Intensely so. The path of Chaos Undivided is walking an even sharper knife edge than usual when it comes to Chaos Worship. If one of the Gods feels like they're getting the short end of the stick, you die horribly. If you don't impress all Four of them, you die horribly. If you start to drift to one out of the Four, you die horribly. If you do everything right, you may still die horribly due to getting over stuffed with the blessings of Chaos. If you manage to avoid dying horribly, though, you'll be a fucking power house. "Does the Plumber know about the Gods?" Well, he knows the Emperor is real. He probably knows that Heretics and Xenos worship their own depraved gods that the Emperor protects him from. Anything more detailed than that and the Ecclesiarchy and the Inquisition start to ask very pointed questions about why and how he knows. After which point, he probably dies horribly. As for the Salamanders, they're basically like giant firebreathing guard dogs. If you're an imperial citizen, they are big, warm, and friendly. If you aren't an imperial citizen, your living privilege lasts only so long as you stay far away. If you approach, you'll die horribly and the Galaxy's Goodest Bois will prance back to the Imperium for head pats and ear scritches.

I think there was a short story about the chapter of the Salamanders called "the Black Dragons" Due to a mutation, their bones break and keep growing into spikes, leaving them deformed. They look horrendous and are in constant pain. Once a group of Black Dragons found a cave where some humans where taking refugees, and the children were frightened by these armor clad giants with bone spikes tearing through their armor. One of the Space Marines was about to remove his helmet to assure the children that they were human and their to help. A comrade stopped him and said "You're just going to scare them more if they see your face." and both laughed. That put the kids at ease. That genuine joy.

Whats Tragic about the World Eaters, is that they where dealt a shitty hand from the start. Angron being captured and turned into a Pit Figther Slave. Big E essentially viewing him as nothing but a broken Toy that he had no use for Big E essentialy fuycking him over, cause instead of Helping Angron and the slaves he had revolted with, he just let Angron's comrades die a dog's death and litteraly kidnapped Angron, tossing him in a Ship's cargo bay and tell the World Eaters Chapter Masters to deal with an Angry Primarch themselfs after bailing out... They descended into madness, but they where actually pretty chill guys for some of them at least and comparatively speaking to other Legions. In an attempt to get closer to Angron, they emulated his Butcher's Nails and mutilated themselfs, and evne then Angron din't really care for his Legion and Legionnaires. A Legion full of Super Soldiers with Daddy issues... Kharn, who was called Kharn the Bloody, Captain of the 8th Company, (who later was renamed Kharn the Betrayer), was an Absolute CHAD and Chill guy, always offsetting Angron's Murderous aura as his personal Squire and been chill ASF. But 10.000 years of conflict, carnage and Murder, made him one of the Angriest motherfucker i the Galaxy, topped only by Angron himself..., there's not much if anything left of the guy with the Chill attitude, he is rage and Frenzy incarnated... Also FUN FACT, Khorne Whoreshippers, are obssessed with Blood and Skulls. They Offer as a tribute to the Blood God, their enemies Blood and Skulls...as well as THEIR OWN. Khorne doesn't care from where the Blood and Skulls comes from, as long that it keep flowing and he keeps receiving skulls as tributes. Khorne Followers that are cornered and cannot continue to fight, will often Decapitate THEMSELFS with their chainsword/axe, in order to offer their Own Skulls as a Tribute to Khorne. In turn, Khorne will accept the offered skull and adorn it at the base of his Throne, knowed as the Skull Throne, wich is an enormous Mountain where the Skulls of ALL the living creatures killed in his name are collected, be it Foes, or his Champions. Blood for the Blood God, Skulls for the Throne of Skulls.

The chaos gods in 40K are the manifestation of emotion from the galaxy's inhabitants. So the gods exist due to mortal creatures of the galaxy simply having these emotions. The general imperial population pretty much have no idea that daemons/chaos gods exist, so when daemonic stuff starts going down, normal civilians have no idea what's going on. It's why Grey Knights have their "no witnesses" approach, because normal guard/civvies are not supposed to know.

[@Skelli2]

4:30: the fact that she had to pause and actively remember the White Scars is the saddest and most accurate way to describe them XD Big edit about faith and gods in universe: In 30k (10 000 years before the modern setting) the Imperium , as per the Emperor's wish, was the model of atheistic state. No gods, no faith, just logic and science. It was so because the emperor knew of the chaos gods and wanted to starve them of their "food" which is faith and worship. Each chaos god gets a little bit of sustenance from specific unconscious emotions but when an action is done specifically in that Chaos God's name and to the most extreme extent possible, that sustenance is more fulfiling to them. Thus, the Chaos Gods are cancer to reality as they are because they will always drive their worshippers to do more extreme stuff to feed them (sex -> R word -> R word + killing -> R word + killiing + camnibalism and necroph**ia, and so on) If no one knew about them, they wouldn't "die" but they would be too weak to mess with the material world. Long story short..that plan fell apart thanks to Horus and Lorgar. Modern day 40k, the average citizen (plumber Joe) only knows about one God which is the Emperor. Faith is understood as capable of miracles by the citizenry and Ecchlesiarchy (priest class) but only by and through the emperor's grace and will. The mechanics of how faith works with the Warp to shape and mold reality though are not common knowledge because people are too arrogant and would try to "tame" the Warp but at most it's like a circus lion (does the trick 9 times and 1 time will eat you).Any knowledge about the Chaos gods or demons is so heavily censored that it's just all barcode. Because Chaos corrupts so thoroughly if Joe found out about it and was caught or even just accused of being some form of heretic he would be instantly shot dead by the Arbites (police) or an Inquisitor, no qualms or questions asked and certainly no trial. Same goes if Joe just was overheard spouting anything remotely atheistic. If demons attacked Joe's planet and Space Marines saved it but Joe saw a demon him, his family ,his neighbours and everyone in their families, work collegues and everyone even remotely aquainted with them would all either be immediately killed by the Inquisition or put in sterilization camps and/or shipped off to some hellhole forced labor mining world to die from overwork. It's extreme and horrible but worlds can fall to Chaos from just one person reading one line from a forbidden tome and going down the rabbit-hole so the Inquisition gives abolutely 0 fu*ks and doesn't take any chances when it comes to corruption, hence why to be a heretic is to be only ever deserving of death

[@aristosachaion_]

Just touching on the whole, "does the average Imperial citizen know about Chaos" question, no they don't, and that's on purpose. The Imperium understands-too well-that believing in Chaos and its dark gods gives them strength, so they do their damndest to expunge all knowledge of it from the general public, because even just KNOWING Chaos exists makes you vulnerable to their temptations.

The plumbers know that the Emperor is a god. Any plumbers who find out about the Chaos gods are... un-alived.

[@slimehound1934]

About the Salamanders ashy skin: by the time they had colonised their planet, racism in humanity didn’t exist. It’s fair to assume settlers came from all ethnic backgrounds, and by now most humans would be very mixed race. However many thousands of years between them settling and the 41st millennium is plenty of time for natural selection to take place, in this case favouring the ashy skin colour. The Salamanders aren’t of African descent specifically, they’re just a bunch of humans who over thousands of years evolved ashy skin. Hence why you have a shifty looking white dude with the ashy skin colour. There could just as easily be someone of East Asian descent, for example, with the skin tone. This is how I like to think about it from a lore standpoint, but yeah, their concept was probably borne from some insensitivity. Any Space Marine can be any ethnicity, even a made up one, but for some reason they are always depicted as white in official artworks. Warhammer is predominately a white British guy hobby (which is fine), but the lack of effort to broaden the consumer demographic is frustrating to me.

[@ninjZ666]

16:13 glad you think there’s a bright and soft side to Slaanesh, not to damper that feeling but there is a reason that Nurgle is considered the kindest of the chaos gods

[@Octopugilist]

Yeah, even the other Chaos Gods hate Slaanesh.

[@blckwtrpark3352]

The 2 mystery legions were part of the original design of the game, intended to allow players to create their own 2 factions to play games with their friends with custom factions without interfering with the lore.

[@JustAGuyDrawing]

The salamanders are indeed just kind. However within the chapter the 3rd company (aka The Pyroclasts) take no chances when it comes to routing out heretics or xenos sympathisers and will often put the innocent to the flame alongside them deeming them acceptable casualties. They also really really like getting up close and personal with flamethrowers as the name suggests lol. They're still Salamaders so they're nice like the rest of the chapter but they strive to embody Vulkan's pragmatism alongside that kindness, each of them carry the weight of the terrible things they had to do and share in their sorrow with a lot of the veterans, officers and their chapter master. Not sure if you know or not but a Chapter master is basically their leader, the current one for the Salamaders, Master Tu'Shan, is essentially just keeping Vulkan's seat nice and toasty for him while they find all his artifacts and he decides to come home or he resurrects (since like the Emperor he actually can't die). They never actually said what really happened to him exactly in the lore.

11TH (and 2nd) Legions mystery are, In Lore, 2 Legions that got destroyed by the Space WOlves on Orders of the Emperor and they where expunged from Imperial records and a Ban was issued by Big E that anyone, ANYONE(even Primarchs) who mentioned the missing Legions names, would meet Severe punishement. Its up in the air and up for Theories what those 2 Legionsa ctually did to deserve such a horrible fate. One of the few possibilities is that their Geneseed was so botched and had such hazardous mutations, that they became Mutant monstrosities, that the Emperor prefered to put them out of their misery and delete their existance...literaly From a Game's perspective; it leaves a bit of Mystery and also leeway for players to create their Own Chapters with their Homebrewed origines, instead of the Player SM army and models being part of an existing Legion/Chapter, players could invent their own Lore and Heraldry for their Sm Chapter.

[@kurtsurban2081]

Facts for HannaH: 2nd and 11th don't really get any information because of 2 reasons: 1 lore, 1 IRL. Lore reason is that during the crusades those 2 primarchs and their legions had done such horrible deeds that they were all executed, and all information was erased about them, from statues, to records, and even memories from the minds of all the primarchs. The IRL reason is that since there are 20 legions for the original game, 10 loyalist, 10 traitor, but only 9 were mentioned for each, the last one would be so that the player could make a custom legion of their own. Angron was enslaved and had the nails forced into his head, and the nails in his head could not be removed even by the Emperor because if he did it would kill Angron even though the nails were slowly killing him. Angron hates the Emperor for 1 reason: Angron led a slave revolt on his planet, his army burned cities, until they were all surrounded by the planet's army (Imagine 300 last stand, but instead of Spartans it's weak and malnourished slaves, and instead of the Persians, you get the entire US army in terms of weapons and firepower) the Emperor rescued Angron, and ONLY Angron, and he had to watch as his fellow slaves were slaughtered from orbit. The Emperoro's response was worse, he didn't care about the slaves because "he had bigger plan for humanity, and rescuing slaves was not a part of it." Guilliman wanting to die can be summed up like this. He was injured during 30k when Fulgrim slashed his throat then put into stasis to be kept alive, he woke up and saw his home under attack and fought them off. When he learned of the entire situation of 40k, everything he worked for during 30k had failed. Comparison: 30k: Innovation was the goal | God's aren't worshipped, neither is the Emperor | The codex was meant as guidelines for marines. 40k Innovation is punished by death | The Emperor is their god now, anything otherwise is heresy | The codex became law for many chapters. He has to lead what he HATES, and has to use his wits and politicking to keep the empire alive. Thousand sons, they were "grounded" during the heresy because of the dangers of psykers at the time. Magnus tried to warn the Emperor that Horus had betrayed them by sending a Psychic message, accidentally destroyed the wall that kept demons outside of the Imperial palace on terra, the Emperor saw Magnus had summoned demons into his palace, and ignored Magnus's warnings. He ordered Leman Russ, and the Space Wolves to arrest Magnus, but Horus (secretly chaos, they don't know about it yet) tricks Leman into believing the order was changed to kill Magnus and his legion. This became the "Burning of Prospero", Magnus and Leman fought hard, and it ended when Magnus's spine was snapped into pieces by Leman with a backbreaker. The legion was saved when Ahriman, a sorcerer of the legion, made a deal with Tzeentch to save them, but they were turned to dust, now they 'pilot' their armor and are called rubric marines. Magnus, however, had his mind shattered from the backbreaker, and the fragments were gathered again to save him but he became disillusioned with the Imperium, and the last shard of him was missing. The last shard of him was taken by a Loyalist thousand son, and would later become the founder of the Grey Knights. The thing about Imperium plumber and chaos. No. Because for the most part, the majority of the Imperium does not know about Chaos, the inquisition keeps this so. Because if they learn about Chaos, the influence has a chance to spread, so they mostly only know about "heretical cultists" or "xenos" but never truly Chaos itself. Only the frontlines ever know about Chaos, and every now and then, some Chaos influence can spread secretly onto worlds, and the people don't know it's Chaos until it is too late.

[@derekpeace3138]

The Salamanders are somewhat the nice guys, petting kittens, helping old ladies cross the road sort of Space Marines, but they still fit the grim-dark part of the setting because their kindness and selflessness only applies to humanity. They are loyal to the ideology of the Imperium and are therefore extremely xenophobic. There was one instance during the Great Crusade where the Salamanders had just conquered a planet controlled by the Eldar, and their Primarch Vulkan is super pissed off about something so he expressed his anger by burning an Eldar child to death. Granted he kinda sorta felt bad about it after, but not really.

Tecnically the gods of chaos are the manifestations of the emotions of all sentient species in the galaxy that took form in the warp/the paralel dimension thing. Hence, for most citizens of the Imperium, the knowledge about the existence of those gods are not only forbidden, but considered a heresy. Theres theories (fan made/not really loreful) that if everyone (all sentient species) stopped believing/worshiping the chaos gods, they would disappear or get soo weak that they wouldnt be a problem anymore.

[@fatherunity2041]

here's the answer to your question about whether or not an average citizen knows about gods: The average imperial citizen believes in god, for the higher ups in the imperium (inquisition) ideally, that god would be the emperor of mankind directly, however since the Imperium is so vast with thousands of different cultures and different technological levels, the people might believe in something else, which the Inquisition would count as "believing in the emperor but with a different visage". For example, There is a moment in the first Eisenhorn novel, Xenos, written by Dan Abnett, where the inquisitor visits an ice planet where they worship the sun. here is the direct quote from the book: "Aemos whispered in confidence. 'What happened last night is a major tragedy for this world. Yellow is their holy colour. I believe the local religion is a solar belief The sun as Emperor?' 'Common enough. Extreme here, for obvious reasons." so in that sense they do believe in god, however they do NOT know about chaos gods, as even knowing about them opens you up for corruption. The Inquisition and the Ecclesiarchy make sure that knowledge is not available to the masses for that reason.

[@Mugthraka]

The Alpha Legion developped this kinda tactics as a neccesity. Since they where the Last Legion to find their Primarchs during the Great Crusade, they din't have the Numbers of Marines that the other Legiosn had for large scale assaults and warfare. If the typical Legion was 50.000 Space Marines, strong, the AL (short fo Alpha legion) had like 10.000 (spitballing the numbers here, but you get the idea) And since the Great Crusade was allready well underway when they joined it, they din't have the time to recruit and train as many Soldiers as the others. So Alpharius and Omegon devised this kind of tactics that allowed them to win wars, without even needing to fight it, a War in the Shadows. Byt replacing Key figures in a governing structure with men of their own, by capturing said Men, brainwash them with psycho conditioning and when the moment was right, have them switch sides. Or even instigating Coups and revolts from the people, that would then kick off a revolution, throwing down their own Governement, evne if that governement was actually benevolent towards them in the beginning, by the use of fake Media and propaganda and fake evidences, For them to then take the key positions in the "new governement" and be in control of the planet. These Methods was often regarded by the other Primachs and legions as Disloyal and unbecoming of a Space Marine's Spirit and Pride, and the Al was often mocked and ridiculed by the others, as being "not real warriors". But the AL results where speaking for themselfs and they where damn efficient at what they did. After the Horus Heresy the AL kept that way of fighting. It is still kinda up in the air if they are Traitors or not, they are viewed as such sinc the effectively joined Horus in his rebellion, but they work in Mysterious ways and their end goal is not knowed by anyone but themselfs and their Primarchs... They are as likely to bring down and Imperial world and destroy it, than they are to save it from an external threat, evne tho they don't do it cause they care or are kind, but because it serves a purpose in the Long game...

About God(s) in 40k. In the Imperium there are two distinct "phases" of religion. 1. When the Emperor was alive he forbade any and all religious worship because he was convinced any worship would ultimately lead to worshiping the Chaos Gods as they are very insidious and manipulative. This is the thing that messed up Lorgar of the Word bearers, because he saw the Emperor as divine and the Emperor punished him for it, ironically driving him to the Chaos Gods. 2. After the Emperor's Death he was declared a God by the Imperium (not immediately, but shortly after) and the worship of him as the one true God was mandated for all citizens. Basically no regular people are aware of the Chaos gods or demons.

[@michaelmccoy2384]

I believe the 2nd and the 11th legions were "purged from history"

[@thetalantonx]

20:28 - The existence of the powers of Chaos is still a closely guarded secret, and the Inquisition has entire sections devoted to stamping out knowledge of (let alone belief in) the Chaos Gods. So the Warp... The Warp is the Immaterium, the energetic manifestation of all of sentient life's emotions and soul energy. In the Warp time and space are flexible, and thus it's used by humanity for faster than light travel. That's right, humans go through hell just to go fast. Psykers can interact with the Warp, and channel its power to effect change in reality. They can also be possessed by entities of the Warp (Daemons), become portals for Daemonic Incursions, and so on. When humanity began manifesting Psykers for really realz, it became the target of the Enslavers, a Warp-inhabiting race of aliens (Xenos.) If your planet had a single Psyker on it, you could be completely hosed. But without Psykers you can't go fast or talk far... So the Imperium of Man is in this really bad spot where they need Psykers, but need them controlled (or fed to the Emperor to keep the Galaxy's biggest Lighthouse going). So if you're not powerful enough to be noticed and collected, but have a bit more mojo enough to be interesting to the forces of Chaos... Faith has power, too. While The Emperor of Mankind was enough of a tryhard that he would have been the King of the r/Atheism Subreddit Mods, trillions of humans believe in him as a god, and that Faith has been built up to the point that Miracles happen, and Living Saints manifest. TL;DR - The Chaos Gods exist, but the average plumber has no clue. However if that plumber has a *little* extra mojo and hears about this little prayer you can say that makes sex even better, it'll work. The fall to the powers of Chaos can be a slow and subtle one.

[@NemFX]

The 2nd and 11th are referred to as the "Lost and Forgotten" it's implied that one fell against the Rangdan, and the other might have been a psyker like Magnus. As for the Salamanders, I would like to offer up a thought process. Everyone claims they are the nicest and best. Look at their weapons of choice. A single bullet can kill someone, quickly. A few bullets will, probably about as quickly. Fire does not work quickly. I would argue that their weapons are actually meant to make enemies suffer. So, everyone is all 'The Salamanders are so good' and I'm over here like 'in real life, they would be brought up on war crimes almost instantly, and are basically the loyalist version of the Night Lords'

[@lllKRENDELLLlll]

20:07 The gods of chaos (at least these four) are beings of the immaterium, i.e. space beyond physical reality, where the laws of the psyche and emotions work instead of the laws of physics. The immaterium is a sewer for the emotions of living intelligent beings and all their emotions flow into the immaterium. The god Khorne is the embodiment of anger and hatred of all intelligent beings and in fact was born precisely in the flow of these emotions. And the birth of the god Slaanesh occurred as a result of a colossal flow of Eldar emotions in the form of emotions of lust and hedonism. Nurgle and Tzinch probably (judging by the logic of lore wh40k) originated during the war in heaven, when the Necrons and The Old Ones were at war with each other - the Necrons arrived in constant decline and death (greetings from Nurgle), and the ancients were the strongest psionics aka magicians (greetings from Tzinch). According to this, the gods (in fact, the incarnation) chaos and feel the pleas of all mortals and actively respond to them. But the other gods of the WH40k universe behave extremely inert, perhaps because they are not poorly thought out by the authors.

Explanation for the Salamanders being "black". All Space Marines have an organ that auto-adjusts the melanin in their skin to account for ambient radiation (essentially a natural defense against skin cancer), but in the Salamanders' gene-seed, that organ is stuck in up-to-11 output. Nocturne has higher-than-Earth-standard ambient radiation so its people are naturally dark-skinned, but when they become Salamanders and get that organ implanted, it super-saturates their skin with melanin and gives them that coal-black look. It also somehow causes the red eyes, but I'm not sure about how that works.

20:25 as far as my knowledge goes, to the average imperial citizen even the knowledge that the warp exists, let alone the chaos gods, is highly forbidden knowledge. The only "god" they need to know of is the god emperor. If knowledge of the chaos gods gets out somewhere the imperial forces will immediately detain the affected to prevent the spread of heresy

[@paragonrobits809]

It should probably be noted that Slaneesh is a lot of things but is ALSO the Chaos God who most outright is all about horrific cruelty and sadism; Nurgle might be gross but he honestly does seem to think he's doing you a favor. It's twisted, but on the other hand, Slaneesh is just plain horror and pain through and through. The Salamanders aren't just nice by 40k standards, they are outright heroic, and while i don't think its been addressed conclusively in canon, I believe that Vulkan's known antipathy towards the Eldar is a result of the Dark Eldar preying on his people, and he genuinely doesn't realize they are different factions; you've probably seen people memeing about the time he killed an Eldar child, and he DID feel horrified afterwards. I mean, it's a small thing; he still killed a kid, regardless of being a nonhuman, so him feeling any kind of regret makes him unbelievably moral in this setting. The art for the Salamanders shown here also kind of shows that every single artist differs on whether the Salamanders look like very tall svartalfar, and if their ancestors were African; for what its worth the general trend seems to be towards the latter in art and other sources, as the audio books apparently have them speaking with a sub-subharan speaking style. Angron is genuinely one of the most tragic characters in the setting; having his head opened and filled with surgical devices that leave him unable to feel anything but rage without horrific suffering, he wanted to die on his home planet with his fellow slaves, fighting to the death at their side against their tormentors, and the Emperor simply teleported him away and left his friends to die. The Emperor is further shown as being particularly antipathic towards him, exclusively referring to him by number and not his name. Angron is a tormented figure who fell to Chaos because at least it made the pain hurt less, and he is suggested to heavily resent Roboute Guilliman to, from his perspective, having been handed everything.

[@jorgeperez2872]

Technically all legions can have people of different skin colors, but obviously they are affected by the world they grew up in and the gene-seed from their papa. I think Vulkin right now has many facial features that are common on black men, but obviously the main feature is the charcoal skin, as like living beside a volcano, not the actual melanin that characterises the brown skin color. But there could actually be a black Space Wolf, even if they are typically vikings.

The gods in 40k reside in the warp and peoples thoughts and belief manifest as energy in the warp which the gods feed on.(theres a quasi sciency explanation for everything in 40k) The chaos gods are the most powerful and scoop up a lot of the belief, however as the majority of humanity believe in the emperor as a god they have actually turned him into a god by powering him up in the warp.

20:20 yes. The plumber knows the gods are real, because they answer. Just like you mentioned being in Jerusalem, te powerful feeling of collective belief in one place is what births all the gods in 40k. But, since they already exist, they won't disappear if the belief stops, they'll just weaken. If that ever happened, chaos wins, cuz the big 4 always gain power through negative energy and actions.

The 11th Legion has also been expunged from the Imperial Records. Nobody knows what their name was or what they did to get expunged. Or if they do they don't talk about it and pray nobody finds out they know.

Robot Guilliman who possesses the power of ADMIN.

The neverborn (never-born? Don't know the spelling) is referring to chaos demons, since they aren't born so much as formed from chaos itself. Also neverborn is probably the coolest name for demons I've ever heard, so there's that

The gladiator thing is very interesting, its more like WWE than duels to the death, its more important to put on a show for the spectators. It's also speculated they often wore helmets with full face plates so the gladiators fighting eachother could speak with eachother during the fight without the audience noticing.

If you're interested in a good 40k starting novel you should check out the first book of the Eisenhorn trilogy, Xenos. It focuses on some of the more normal people: merchants, law enforcement, government officials, low level gangsters, and cultists.

[@firmak2]

the "gods" ( arguably just super beefed up demons) existence is fact, weather or not they give you the time of day is another.

[@DrMustacho]

Many team based games use "the holy trinity" tank, healer and dps Tank stands in the front and soaks up the damage Healer keeps the tank alife Dps does as much "damage per second" as they can

[@Marqui91]
