A moment of silence for the brave men, women, children and Tactical Geniuses that have fallen to those filthy heretics this day.
especially that God damn legend of a manly cigar-chomping motherfucker who stood up to Failbaddon with balls forged of the purest adamantium and plated in gold.
>Abaddon dedicates his entire being to destroying Cadia for 10,000 years and fails and gets beaten up by a girl >Trazyn accomplishes more in a week and doesn't even give a shit either way
Abaddon is so helpless that they had to give him a special sword to kill the Emperor with because he can't be trusted to hit an comatose, near death target on his own.
Angel Williams
Why do CSM insist on adding horns and spikes to their armour? Do the Chaos gods like it or something?
Anthony James
It's to praise the minor Gods Ans'l, Mo'rcck and Phraz-Etar .
Jace Thomas
the planet broke before the guard did
Lucas Nelson
Wait what what happened
Brayden Gonzalez
>Abaddon lands on Cadia and finds nothing but a single building >40 space marine legions that have been hidden for 10k years and 16 emperor class titans appear from behind the building >Abaddon realizes he did not land on Cadia, but rather landed on a planet made up of Space Marine legions and Titans. >his last word before being banished back to the warp:
the pylons got activated, abaddon ran away from the imperials, then the pylons overloaded themselves and cracked the planet
Jaxon Reyes
Cadia got rekt. Legions are unleashed.
Daniel Williams
Literally who?
Connor Martinez
The minor Gods Ans'l, Mo'rcck and Phraz-Etar.
Henry Foster

I doubt the guys writing the chaos fluff nowadays really remember them, though. or if they do, they consider such fluff beneath them.
Oliver Fisher

Carter Russell
Oh well As long as the imperium can push the hordes back long enough the mechanicus can probably bring in a replacment cadia Did everybody important make it out alive
Lucas Wilson
Baller.
Wyatt Thompson
>GW starts to release models I want and some what better models >lore goes to shit
Ill just listen to the 40k in my head now........
Jacob Williams
LINK SOURCE
ANYTHING?
Alexander Cruz
Why is fucking who ever writes this new lore so shit? Who is it White Dwarf? Black Library? Games Workshop themselves?
Doesn't that help the imperium though? The Cadian pylons suppress the warp around them, so now isn't the entire area completely impassable for chaos? More important question though, why is Cadia the only place that chaos try to leave through?
Jacob Gonzalez
Literally to make their armor look scary or mutations to their armor from warp exposure.
Tyler Martinez
>Games Workshop themselves?
They drank their own koolaid.
Aaron Lopez
>then the pylons overloaded themselves and cracked the planet
Andrew Richardson
You knew this was coming.
You new since they killed Fantasy Battles that this shit was coming. You had time at least to make your peace.
Some of us still possess boxes of Dwarves and Ogre Kingdom models, unpainted, unused. Never again to see the light of day. Outside of Kings of War, which doesn't really scratch that same itch.
For those of us that once played Fantasy there was no real warning, just a gaping abcess leading to black abyss.
Hunter Hall
>Doesn't that help the imperium though?
No. The Chaos plan is to trash planets and sacrifice them to drag the Eye of Terror with them all the way to Terra.
Carson Phillips
This all happened because the Magos who disturbed the pylons kept praying to Omnissiah instead of paying attention to the energy levels.
This would not have happened if it had been in the competent hands of a earth caste engineer.
Noah Morales
But it will not, earth caste cannot into FTL.
Angel Evans
Is there a TL; DR of what happened?
Justin Bell
Did Frank Frazetta work on 40k at some point?
That's pretty fucking cool, if so.
Michael Anderson
No, they were just inspired by him.
Noah Collins
>pylons get activated >everything with demonic energy implodes >celestine is kil >abbadon falls back >cadia is kil >creed went down with the ship
since we all know Celestine can't really die she will be back at some point, but Creed and Cadia are gone, and Chaos didn't take any significant losses.
Robert Wright
...
Colton Davis
>and Chaos didn't take any significant losses. Well, most of the Black Legion, plus several traitor forces and CSM warbands should be in Cadia when it exploded, albeit GW could easily ignore that.
Austin Cox
They evacuated before the explosion.
Lincoln Parker
...
Jose Myers
nothing they can't replace is what I meant to say, but yea I imagine the black legion got fucked up pretty bad, and whatever else was on Cadia. The eye of terror getting closed is probably the biggest blow dealt to them.
I don't care for the imperium of man except for the stories of cadia. Space marines are dumb and so is the inquisition. Can't help but feel disappointed in gw in making this move. Granted I most of my army is dark eldar. I do have about 500 points in cadia models
Ian Evans
>Why did Chaos want to go via Cadia IIRC the can leave the Warp every way they want, but it's equivalent to taking muddy roads in the country, while via Cadia it's like a 10 lane highway
Anthony Nguyen
wait where are these advancements coming from?
Colton Rodriguez
Didn't Creed get evacuated along with Celestine? At least, that's what I heard on the scuttlebut. Makes more sense for him to lose an arm but survive than for him to lose an arm and then also die.
Anthony Stewart
You know this deosn't mean they're all dead right? There are billions of them that weren't on the planet
and the imperial guard doesn't just get soldiers from cadia, they merely wore the most common armor and had the most generic look, thus their association with all IG
Alexander Moore
You Guys literally didn't do anything meaningful at all, not even Abbygail the Everspoiled got to look cool. He came in, had a typical retarded villain moment, got stabbed for it, and then teleports away.
If Fall of Cadia had actually been written by competent people who knew the basic Lore of what the fuck they're writing, the Pylons would not only have not blown-up simply because the plot demanded it, but they would have actually crippled the Chaos Armies who rely on the Warp a fuckton rather than the Imperium who mostly just use a fuckton of Guns.
You were literally only relevant because the Authors had to find a way to shoehorn you being threatening into the already lackluster script. Quit pretending you were important.
Jaxon Wood
>creed is dead >no major chaos losses
I don't even play 40k and that's pretty fucking gay. Why couldn't GW get any decent writers to cover it?
Easton James
>no major chaos losses
Spine lives matter. Check your vertebrate privilege.
Luke Torres
Because a good writer would have Creed survive just because.
Nathaniel Peterson
chaos in the warhammer/40k world is literally just lifted from straight from Moorcock. Including the 8-pointed star, the mutations, the whole lot.
Connor Smith
Is this End Times for 40k? If so, I feel very sorry. I hope your game is ruined like mine was.
Ryan Lopez
Joke's on you, I'd prefer AoS with General's Handbook over 7E 40K or 8E WHFB.
Josiah Bennett
>my stinking, fetid mess of a game is better then your pile of garbage!
Easton Adams
It's okay to have bad taste, not everyone can be good. I just don't see the point in ruining a game for everyone else.
Hudson Morris
>not everyone can be good >having good taste = being good
Clearly you're not one of said people with good taste.
Jaxon Ward
I made this picture just a couple weeks ago....seems so out of date now.
Someone needs to add a bottom panel of Trayzen walking away while Cadia explodes to make it accurate.
James Robinson
>I hope your game is ruined like mine was.
Sorry Fantacuck, but 40k is a successful game.
Mason Bailey
I feel like jumping shop and playing storm cast externals. Feels like gw only actually cares about aos and put their more intelligent minds behind that.
Jose Rogers
40k is horrid, but AoS is by no means a good game play literally anything else
Liam Kelly
These threads are magnets for ass blasted wfb players that still can't let go.
40k rules are so convoluted and retarded at this point AoSing the rules would be welcome. Might even flush out all the neck beards like aos did. Win win
Josiah Moore
get ready for WARHAMMER 40K
THE END TIMES
Daniel Cook
>implying AoS the rules wouldn't end up nerfing the tyranids further.
Dominic Perry
This is cute. The Cadian Pylons being destroyed is just about the best possible thing that could happen for the Imperium. Chaos needed the Cadian Gate to be open in order to move massive fleets out of the Eye, that's been true forever. There's a reason Chaos has always tried to smash their way through Cadia, instead of going around it; because they couldn't. Now the Pylons are gone, the Gate will close, and Chaos will forever be unable to move massive fleets into realspace. Good job morons, you've destroyed the only bridge you had to cross this river. Even when Harmless wins he still loses.
Adrian Carter
>they don't know AoS is literally better than 40k right now
Nobody is saying AoS is good, but boy does it say a lot about you to not recognize how shit 40k currently is.
Liam Myers
FINE, IF YOU ALL WON'T DO IT I'LL SPEND THE 9000 HOURS
Jack Ortiz
I stopped playing 40k 4 years ago cause my orks were so bad after so many fucking years. Anything is better than what they have now. It's a clusterfuck of books, formations and data slate shite. At worst your still going to be bottom of the barrel, so what difference does it make?
Tyler Evans
Is this new knowledge that the necrons have pylons that can negate the warp? I recall threads awhile back from chaosfags shitting on crons that they are the top tier lore enemy since they cannot be stopped or beaten bla bla
Brody Collins
Chaos' new plan is to extend the Eye in a massive tendril straight towards Terra itself.
I think.
Jonathan Evans
If that's true it's retarded. If Chaos could purposefully expand or redirect the Eye at will they would have long since. The lore explicitly states that the Cadian Gate is the only stable route into or out of the Eye of Terror, and as such is just as important for Chaos as for the Imperium, if not more so.
Luis Lee
>Is this new knowledge that the necrons have pylons that can negate the warp?
No.
Ayden Cox
try playing a game that isn't made by games workshop they're pretty much all better
Jayden Carter
>hey tzeench, how about we extend the eye of terror towards terra itself >that's retarded abaddon >yeah but what if we did >actually sure why not
Owen Cruz
So, cadia fell, at least it made sense in the established lore, was decent writing?, doesn't it destroy the only stable route of the eye?
Owen Anderson
Now this is just heard from hearsay, but don't the pylons also keep the eye contained to some extent? Now that they're destroyed the eye can expand at a faster pace then before and slowly kill the imperium by swallowing up systems as it expands. The galaxy has been doomed to a slow death.
On the other hand the other warp storms dont really expand so maybe thats wrong.
Luke Howard
10 bucks says that they kill of the hivemind and make tyranids all individuals and the Swarmlord is the god-king of the race
Hudson Morris
>Hey Abaddon don't worry we could always expand and create warpstorms at will, especially this one that we didn't even create in the first place, but we really just enjoyed watching you bang your head against the Cadian wall for 10k years for shits and giggles.
Just as planned?
Ryder Rivera
Id buy it
Sebastian Clark
That...would actually be completely believable and in-character with what the Chaos Gods were supposed to be before they all started being marketed as Just-as-Planned, 2deep4u, Eldar God wannabes.
Blake Price
Yes the gods like it. Also sometimes the gods make the horns grow from the armor whether the marine wants them or not.
Blake Collins
Dear god the burn
Julian Cruz
Did all Cadian forces die with Cadia or they've managed to evacuate most of their forces like Faibaddon?
Also how Creed and Celestine died
Aaron Allen
no all the cadians aren't dead, just the 8th that and creed that went down with the planet. Celestine got rekt by abbadons sword but didn't really die, and just sort of faded from the pylons overload.
Xavier Lewis
...
Juan James
The only silver lining to this ass writing is that we might finally get some new plastic guard models that don't look like shit.
Camden Harris
MARCHING ON PATROL
Ian Robinson
So sorry, haven't been into the hobby for like five years now, and decided to find a couple threads on a whim.
Whats all this about Glorious Eternal Cadia falling?
Cooper White
Age of Emperor is happening this year with a new edition and it's starting with Cadia being exploded.
Landon Anderson
Why don't you google it you dumb nigger
even though it's kind of fucking obvious just from context
Grayson Richardson
FUCK YEAH
Landon Clark
>he doesn't know the names of all Eight points of the Path
Looks like it's time to bear the Word. Repeat after me:
Trips of truth. Celestine is literally an order-aligned daemon prince(aengel-prince?), the pylons prevented warp powers from intervening on the planet but wouldn't the pylons have been destroyed too if the planet was destroyed, sending Celestine back to the warp?
James Thompson
And infinitely more bland. None of them have a setting or models half as good.
Eli Perez
>hurr hurr no timeline movement >muh space marines vs muh evil space marines >skulls Yeah. Bland or good settings? hah. Great one. Excuse me, while I open another thread about Primarchs and Autism.
Alexander Stewart
I'm sure the other franchises are so riveting that they'll jump straight to the top of the market.
Eli Cruz
No one has any solid proof - there was just some supposed leak that people are taking as gospel. I'm betting it doesn't happen anything like these threads describe.
Colton Diaz
So is the Lion gonna wake the fuck up or not GW?
Tyler Bailey
I'm not upset that the Guard lost, or that Cadia fell, or that Chaos won due to plot contrivances. I'm upset because it was blundered so hard
They somehow made what should be the biggest "oh shit" moment in the current plot the flattest garbage i've had the misfortune to experience in recent memory
Blake Butler
Rumours say Guiliboyo will be the first.
Asher Carter
This. What should have been the rise of a grand tempedt and the end times turned out to be a conga line of everybody fucking up in turn.
Nicholas Flores
In a sad way, that's kind of 40k for you. Everyone just fucks the pooch and everything sucks for everybody. I'm not saying it's preferable to a better storyline, but it is in-character at the very least.
Luis Morales
You forgot the part where 40k is still profitable and extends in multiple directions.
The exact details of the battle are unclear, but like others have said multiple people forget that even without the warp the CSM are still Space Marines and the Guard are just humans who saw their single source of inspiration apparently get killed by Abaddon.
The Eye of Terror isn't a warp storm, it's described a tear in reality where the warp and material world intertwine. Theoretically it should be possible to expand it if enough is done in the areas around it to weaken the walls of reality.
This thread is more proof that the 40k portion of Veeky Forums either can't be bothered to read or doesn't understand what it's reading.
It's posted on Black Library, you can literally read it for yourself. I'm honestly surprised they put up what is likely the juiciest lore for free.
