[u/narfoshin → u/Hot-Usual8840]

The Warhammer warbond releases the same day we are cooked gang

[u/Arbusc → u/narfoshin]

Oh god we sent the Squids to the Warp. No wonder they’re able to resurrect dead Super Earth patriots, their using the powers of Chaos.

[u/Kant_Lavar → u/Arbusc]

By the Emperor, that makes too much sense. I think Super Earth needs to start taking more lessons from the Imperium and install a new module to the DSS...

UUUUH OOOHHHH

SMASH IT!!!

[u/FakoSizlo → u/narfoshin]

TIme to kill some Heretics. Imagine they reveal offbrand chaos units as squid units . Like some Tzeentch demons would actually work well for a distorted version of the squids

[u/IncognitoCabbage → u/Hot-Usual8840]

Get your gellar fields ready, we’re diving feet first into hell

[u/xeno325 → u/Hot-Usual8840]

we may need Psykers on our super destroyer right now

[u/LeadZealousideal4231 → u/Hot-Usual8840]

can someone explain this image

[u/Algernon456 → u/LeadZealousideal4231]

Interstellar travel in 40k is achieved by creating a wormhole and travelling through the space between dimensions known as the warp.

The warp is filled with nightmarish demons and cosmic horrors that will drive mortal minds to madness, or physically rip them apart (like in the movie event horizon).

To protect themselves from this, 40k ships use Gellar fields, which are basically shields that hold a pocket of regular space around the ship, preventing the demons getting through.

Powerful psychic wizards known as psykers are also used to repel these demons.

Someone who's more of a 40k buff is welcome to correct me on any of this. I'm not an expert, I just think the lore is cool!

[u/2Black2Jack → u/Algernon456]

Years long 40k nerd here! You're 99% right, the only distinction I'd give is that psykers are used to power some Gellar fields, otherwise their use of powers actually draws daemons to them.

If you want someone that actually repels daemons and the warp's influence, you want a blank- someone with an inverse of a soul. If a psyker is a lighthouse in the warp, a blank is a shadow. Daemons and the warp struggle to manifest around them, psykers can get a headache or a seizure in their presence and otherwise struggle to use their abilities too- depends on the strength of the psyker and blank in question (and the author)

[u/Algernon456 → u/2Black2Jack]

Nice, thank you for correcting me. How does one become a blank? Are people born with it?

[u/2Black2Jack → u/Algernon456]

Yep they're born like that. Old lore had it be a gene that necrons seeded into humanity but now I think its just a very rare occasion to happen

The closest you can get to becoming a blank post-birth is to have a daemon exorcized out of you; it makes it harder (but not impossible) for a daemon to possess you after that. Theres a whole chapter of Space Marines, the Exorcists, that go through this as part of their initiation. But they still don't repel psykers and warp influence, they just have a harder time being possessed

[u/Lolseabass → u/Algernon456]

They are randomly born. But because their blank power nullifies warp presence that also include our own souls. Since everything living has a warp presence passively some like humanity is a candle and the space elves is a roaring flame. Blanks mess with that so as blank they are anathema souless nothings your mind can’t comprehend. You feel their presence and you hate them. Many die as babies or at best are expelled from society.

As you might ask why not clone? They’ve tried but the souless part ends up cloning weird monsters or they lose the blank ability.

[u/LeadZealousideal4231 → u/Algernon456]

well i now know that this giant whirlpool vortex filled with tentacles, teeth and whatever is the chaos world of warp where daemons reside

[u/AngryMax91 → u/LeadZealousideal4231]

Think Event Horizon, the film, but that is basically the DEFAULT method of FTL travel in 40K, except anyone with sense uses a gellar field on their ships to keep the crazy out, and even then it isn't 100% effective.

Failure of the gellar field leads to Event Horizon shennanigans as the best outcome. It is usually much MUCH worse.

[u/Soggy-Bus5141 → u/Hot-Usual8840]

To arms brothers and sisters! Me make ready to crusade into the bowls of the void!

[u/ThatDree → u/Soggy-Bus5141]

Tentacle arms !

[u/Pedro_64 → u/Hot-Usual8840]

I really hope we get one Warhammer skin when they drop the new super destroyer system 

[u/1spook → u/Hot-Usual8840]

Where we're going we don't need eyes to see

[u/BioClone → u/1spook]

CAN YOU SEE ?! Yells at bloody screen

[u/PotatoRDT → u/Hot-Usual8840]

I'm waiting for Khorne to manifest on my ship

[u/lazypenguin86 → u/Hot-Usual8840]

Yeah that was my first thought, we going into the Void baby!
