Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Told my W40k nerd coworker that if I was born a human in that universe I'd try and defect to the Tau. He said: "so you'd rather be a house cat than a lion?" (hexbear.net)

Lion? If you're a human in 40k you're more likely to be a mangy street cat forced to work in a factory processing other cats into fancy feast. Fuck yeah I'll be the Taus little pet over that, I can work in at a space turnip farm or something, maybe they'll give me little human treats.

Some are some aren't. Black Templars for instance think the emperor is a god, but that's really backwards justification for why there's a subfaction that can be painted as crusaders.

The whole "reform the imperium" thing is definitely not something most believe in, it's basically the project of a single genetically-engineered superhuman who woke up after a ten thousand year nap and said "what the fuck is going on". Conveniently he's in charge of one of the largest groups of space marines but they didn't care until he woke up, and even now that he has a lot are just going "dude what the fuck are you talking about, we're being eaten by bugs, I don't care that the date is wrong due to a schism in the bureaucracy five thousand years ago".
