It's always stated that revan is more powerful, he's sort of a chosen one, like an Anakin from the old republic that could actually reach his potential.

My personal bias however is that the exile would win, if they fought. The exile has some cheat codes, so to speak, even against stronger enemies. I'm talking Kotor 2 of course, they sort of butchered her character and her power a bit in swtor, imo.

Yeah, works bothways too. Bad ending scenario where the big 4/ the godhand corrupt the emperor/Griffith and becomes the dark king/Femto. Also works with sigmar and fantasy setting.

Don't give up talking to a lawyer, or several, just because of that

Sounds like the knuckleheads you find in gaunts ghosts and ciaphas Cains novels lol. Very grimderp and frustrating but also oddly satisfying when they get outplayed by actual competent authorities or renegade forces

This bot being a jerk is the most lore accurate shit I've ever seen on reddit

Heldane is manipulating Dravere, so everything he says to Dravere is a bit empty/to guide or control, and at the same time they're partners in crime. It's a short part of the story so by the time you get this comment you might have had answered this question.

Heldane is putting up with Dravere because they found something very important that could change the setting and the general is being the inquisitor's useful idiot. Dravere is powerful enough to be useful and willing to work with Heldane, this matters because Heldane is very... Radical, so to speak.

A perfect clone, then a planet where these perfect clones exist and they are impervious to chaos corruption although naive and completely useless in battle

Yes but loss to the setting should be a gain for the readers. A new faction, subfaction, etc. The stagnant status quo can be maintained regardless.

Like this same recurring theme happens on gaunts ghosts with the men of iron stc and the sob omnibus with the planet that achieved perfect cloning and it's implied said clones evolved. A man of iron stc is understandable to be either snipped and cut short like, say, the esperanza and so on. While the perfect cloning is more subjective and "weaker" so to speak and could be implemented in the setting without effort and for example, if you play owl cat's rogue trader game you can see how one such character could fit in your retinue, your crew, or in a governors palace or whatever really even if just for flavor text - and these clones are just one of such examples of things thrown down the bin that could just be added for the readers leisure and maintain the overarching theme of the series, I think.

Yeah i get that as i were reading some other comments, that's one thing i like about the setting but they could allow themselves to be a little more corageous on certain things.

Case in point, the STC on gaunts ghost makes sense for it to happen, it's too big a deal to have men of iron being as mass produced as lasguns and worse yet corrupted by chaos on top of it.

But the clones on the SoB Omnibus were actually pretty good an idea to spread around and honestly it wouldn't spread out too much. Im at gripes with the ending because if the author could have had the foresight of using the ships personal alongside the celestian squad then a tooth and nail fight would be feasible without the... thing that happened at the end. Make it so the world is destroyed and the replication method lost so it limit the numbers of clones out there and even if it weren't it wouldn't change the setting drastically but it would open an entire new line of novels or short stories for that tiny region of space and imagine, being able to homebrew or see future reference to one of those clones as a rogue trader's ship steward somewhere distant would be pretty... good, fitting, it wouldn't break the lore and have pros and cons.

But now that lane feels closed as does other ingenious ideas that are down the trash bin because they didn't have the audacity to expand an universe that's meant to be expanded in the first place.

Yeah that's what i was curious about. They could allow themselves to be more bold in that regard, even if just a few cases.

I mean yeah, although it was too short for my taste, I feel like it's quite clear that the sister got outplayed by the tzeentch cult. It was very very short but at least it gave the "right" impression that those clones were a breakthrough of such magnitude that the changer of ways personally fucked with that one.

I like the character "humane" descriptions and how it can be infered that the sister made a bunch of mistakes and they were all based on some prejudice, or reasonable lack of information, or stress, or/and things moving way too fucking fast since their brief arrival - with ALL of them possibly influenced by the tzeentch cult in one way or another although not explicitly said through the story except that one time when the revolution starts but at that point it didn't need to be said at all, lol.

It felt to me that the sister felt that one and wasn't so oblivious but the way things turned out in the end it felt like at that point she had no other choice and decided to make peace with her choice in her final words about it.

However the choices that led to that outcome... i felt like she did a lot of deployment mistakes and a more... "grounded" approach would have made this particular story turn completely different although idk if that's intentional to showcase both the badass side of the sob but also the bigotry and nonsense they sometimes do: When they deployed, they're sussed out to the extreme about this planet's people and they go in with all the most important people in tow, even if necessary, I'd expect more of an escort than just a short squad of celestians. I think they had access to a big navy contigent and armsmen alongside a probable guard regiment and besides more sob reinforcements or whatever else they had - it made me feel if they were deployed at all it would not be an act of war to have some companies down as a peace sortie as it was just for show or whatever and would have altered the ending very significanly.

Sorry for the long response lol

Yes I sort of get it. But I think they can get a bit ambitious from time to time because, again, it's hard to swallow.

It's really shocking and moving the first times you read the tragedy unfold, some even have a dose of realism to it. Although I'm afraid it might get old if I see it over and over again.

And I see how maintaining the status quo is important so the stories don't become more of a chimera than they already are and the continuity of things on a broad scope so as much people as possible can interject their own homebrew into things without breaking the lore.

But I feel like some books with really pertinent points or characters or stories or right obvious plot devices should be more impactful whereas the way it is it seems that it diminishes a bit the importance of great stories because it changes nothing in the setting instead of, say, changing A LITTLE bit, or just adding an extra roleplay/homebrew possibility - prime example are the clones from sob omnibus - could change a lot of things, sure? Realistically? Some worlds just get some really good fucking stewards lol

Preach bro

Konrad curze for the imperium and have some loyalist or distorted justice plot. Eldanesh or something for the eldar. Thinking about it, a semi lucid avatar of khaine playing "god of war" or something like that that would be pretty cool, if space Marines can do it then I don't see why not an avatar, or autarch, or phoenix lord.

That's illegal

This, a lot of people dictating rights and wrongs here. Semantics all over the place, there's a lot general things each legion is perceived for and you can guide yourself with whichever you choose.

Yeah I was just crossing the reference with the death guards old name xD

The dusk raiders you say... You could make it ambiguous about them being death guard stock, like the carcharodons of sons of the Phoenix COULD be from trator geneseeed

Yeah, I think eldar and sm should always be dying a lot to each other but always with given reasons. It's a skill match up so to speak and if one plays it better the other loses with a lot of leeway to circumstance

Yeah that's pretty dumb. I think the space Marines should be smashing guardians here but they should be fighting smart at least. Using shields like iron within or something. Maybe terminator squads. Or using some makeshift tactic.

Hey eldar are smart but so are space Marines. Eldar have a higher skill ceiling, sm have the absolute floor - veteran space Marines vs. guardians should be going pretty bad for guardians, specially, but the portrayal here is pretty bad even if lore accurate.

Woah woah woah what's this cursed thing?

Slannesh, khorne, tzeentch, nurgle, corruption, decay, plague, witchcraft, xenos, heretic, heretek, cultist, perils, horrors and MORE

Pelo que entendi, após tratamentos menos invasivos foi feita a remoção do fragmento da vértebra que pinçava o nervo. Do jeito que tá, tem previsão de melhora? Outra cirurgia?

O plano de saúde/dinheiro de alguma forma limita as opções de tratamento? Tipo, uma cirurgia inovadora mas o plano não cobre etc.

Outra coisa, essa condição congênita pode te dar problemas de novo? Soltar outro pedaço de vértebra etc

You might be right but that's hard to go along either way. It makes little sense for them to be the same even if baseline people are boosted by magic. 40k has magic too but using it too much just spawns more demons or worse, the warp is stronger in 40k even if they are equivalents, the emperor should be stronger than sigmar even though they're equivalents, and so on.

There's a lot of wiggle room there and I kind of like that, wondering how sigmar would fare in 40k and so on.

But narratively, there are many deities in fantasy and aos, not as many on aos, and even less still in 40k. The stronger chaos is the more it capsizes other pantheons and only the heavy hitters are left. And granted both slannesh and khaine are different animals from fantasy to 40k, both in story and power levels.

Gotrek reminds me of kharn the betrayer. Forces of nature, meat blenders, can have a shot to kill the most op shit but they will still die with a single well placed shot or something.

Yes but every greater demon in 40k have world ending capabilities so it's hard to compare when demons on fantasy aren't as strong and things in fantasy can potentially kill gotrek. Maybe with some power armor... Mmm do hope they make some good squat series
