You laugh. However I once played in a place that had some hilarious rules. Remember the inter continental missile launcher the guard have? If you field one you were allowed to shoot it at OTHER TABLES. They also had a 10 foot by 20 foot game table with spots in the middle of it for you to pop up and move your units around. they used it for like 10 on 10 army wars. it was set up to look like Armageddon for awhile, they also did a Cadia Stands fight on it too (Chaos lost that so damn hard). It always has structures and such on it for full on defense. If you can only shoot 20 inches, you use a 20inch string to check ranges when your units are up on the hive city walls for example. It was wild. Haven't been there since the covid crap started but I know they are open and running again. They are not an official GW place and have 3d printers you can rent time on. So you can get the files, pay for the resin, and they'll make it. Or just select from what they have, pay for the resin, and they make it. However long the thing has to run you also pay a bit for the time. They had 6 printers last I remember.

So, clarify something, she does have to go through the trials in the warp every time she dies, and the place and time when she comes back is not chosen by her. There is a book named "Celestine the Living Saint" that goes through the process and showing her in action. And going along with the "GW stealing from Christianity" thing with Celestine, her trials are heavily inspired by the an old Protestant work called "The Pilgrims Progress", where the character goes through a (metaphorical) spiritual journey where all the pitfalls are named after sins or negative emotions, and in the same way, Celestine finds aspects of herself that positive emotions, and demons that are negative emotions. You should read Celestine, it's a good guard and sisters book.

The Infinite and the Divine has a bunch of dinosaurs living on an Eldar world, and everyone just smiles and nods.

In 40K humans have spent thousands of years colonizing millions of worlds, it's not that far fetched that they might bring some animals with them. In fact I think one of the Eisenhorn books mentions a planet that breeds tons of doves that it releases for religious ceremonies (and then the doves die trying to cross the nearby desert, because this is the Grim Dark future of 40K).

Oh God, I was telling my boss about the silliness of the Doves, and she counters the insanity of making these doves just for them to die in a non-earth ecosystem by saying that obviously Celestine gathered them up and keeps them on her spaceship

[@zacharyharwell351]

I just thought of something... going along the lines of "maybe the emperor became a god because of the human's worship." So, if Slaanesh can claim the Eldar's souls when they day because they created her, AND she gets power from this, is it not then possible that every human soul that dies ALSO feeds/empowers the Emperor? They aren't as Warp-present as an Eldar, but they die in enough numbers it still should do something, right? Following all of this I had a thought: Does that mean that if they could figure out a way to channel it in a specific way, or if he wanted to, that the emperor could possibly heal from their losses and the sacrifice of the Psykers?

[@woaddragon]

That is one of the many belief system of the Inquisition..

[@alienstar2088]

So, two things to ask here 1) Does Celestine ever have other characters comparing her to Sanquinius? I mean, they're both angelic Humans so I was wondering if there have been any comparisons or references between the two? 2) Am I the only one who thinks Radahn and Magnus look nearly the exact same? I can't unsee it.

"Haggis is good." Agree, Bricky. Though i should also mention we have something similar to that here in the States. What ya gotta do is head back down south, I mean deeeeeep south and find a place that makes proper Soul food and get yourself some Hog Maws and make sure they're cooked and stuffed just right. Also, when people talk about beans on toast, I'm confused. What kind of beans? Because if its sweet baked beans I can understand the apprehension, but something like some nice slow-cooked salt-pork beans with toast sounds really good, ESPECIALLY if its put with some of the pork on a nice thick piece of Texas bread/toast. I mean that's just enjoying some barbecue fixins right there

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't kharn kill Celestine and added her skull to the skull throne or to his collection. I can't remember if he did or not I found it , its in the book shroud of night to simplify it. It was a one sided massacre and what happened was kharn walked up to her smashed her sword out of her hands, ripped the wings of her back and decapitated her.

[@Lightscribe225]

He tried. Celestine woke up atop a pile of corpses in the warp naked. She sighed angrily, took up a sword and killed every daemon in her way to go get her armor. Basically Kharn is going to be very mad she cheated, or very happy he can harvest in infinite number of skulls

With Bayonetta as an optional boss

[@RougeMephilesClone]

The idea of a Saint-focused game by the Bayonetta developer comes off as slightly weird, right up until you remember that skulls are an icon of the Imperium. Also, just because Celestine is nicer than most 40k people doesn't mean she can't be a little sassy and xenophobic.
