Emperor-------->Empress sans-troll

maybe have one of the custards unplug the ol' guy, finally releasing his soul from what has been eons of imprisonment under misguided belief, allowing it to incarnate within her, making her the new Saviour (tm) of All Mankind

y'all think the nerd rage would be enough to generate its own warp entity

My favourite Stars War? Warhammer 40k. Normally they don't tell you which star they're even fighting over. Stars War: Star Treks has multiple stars, Stars War (original trilogy) shows you the death star but not the life star so you don't know which one you're supposed to support, Starships Troopers don't even fight in our star system. All of it is incomprehensible gibberish. With Warhammer 40k, the star of the show is the orcs. You know you're supposed to root for them because they're the only Tolkien race. They say all the funny lines from Shrek so you know when to laugh, and yet they have a dark side perhaps. I don't know who the other guys in Warhammer 40k are because none of them were established in the original Lord of the Rings lore. They are non-canonical fanfic like so many other Stars War franchises.

edit: And don't get me started on Stars War: Star Treks 9: Deep Space. That one doesn't even have a star. It has a hole.

this is the kind of posting i'm constantly attempting but failing to channel

I'm just saying, show me the life star before I make a decision. Not all life is good. Ticks, mosquitos, bacteria- I'm not going to say the death star is bad if it only kills those things. Show me both. Warhammer 40k orcs don't need a death star because they have the magic ring. Mankind is just war war war in that show but I want to see Peacehammer more than I want to see Warhammer until they figure this out.

How I'd make warhammer nerds mad: Do literally anything that changes literally anything about any part of the universe or lore or stats of the units

The only real star marine chapter is Mars. They have the most technology so they can make the most star marine costumes. If they wanted to they could make all the little guys star marines, and the star marines on earth would just have to be like "dude I surrender". There would be way too many even for their tanks.

How I'd make them mad:

Make all the all imperium gone. Like they just faacismed themselves to death.

Also I'd fuck their mom sans-wink

In place of a Dark King, you would have a queen!
Not dark, but beautiful and terrible as the dawn!
Treacherous as the sea!
Stronger than the foundations of the earth!
All shall love me, and despair!

Nah, when Big E is finally released the chaos god he becomes should be a women so he is cannonically trans.

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

what I said would also make them canonically trans though

I'm sorry I just got my caffeine. I can read now (for 15 minutes only).

Real heads know that the Emperor has soul shards that writers have embodied within women. It's not common but it has happened.

Just bring in new lore that canonizes women being able to be space marines. For some reason (sexism & misogyny) the concept of fem-marines is a real "scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds" topic for 40k fans. Retcon it so space marines always had women, introduce new lore that says Cawl ~~invented~~ rediscovered The Emperors HRT, bring in the second set of ~~20~~ ~~18~~ 19 primarchs that are all sisters with their legions of post-human warrior women, it doesn't matter. The phrase "female space marines" is like a sleeper cell activation phrase for warhammer chuds
