Imperium Maledictum is the new rpg from Cubicle 7 and it looks much better than Wrath and Glory. They streamlined the rules, gave you more options. You can literally play as a health and safety officer working for an adminstratum prefect, or being an acolyte now. To make the game faster they also dumped having detailed distances and combats instead you divy up combat maps into "zones" which are meant to be areas around 20 meters in size. Does make combat a lot faster.

Honestly haven’t paid much attention to GW recently. May your crusade bear fruit, and the boycott has my support! Best wishes on your health.

this is a surprise due to your view on GW I'm surprised in a good way but hey hope you get better soon rimmy

Rimmy I'm sorry you lost your job as a XXth Commanding officer because all your soldiers were disobeying orders and Framed you for heresy and beat you up. With the inquisitor Witnessing all of this. and not lifting a finger.

Be honest. You want Argenta to step on you.

I love the idea that this particular family had so many people steal their warrant of trade over the centuries that at some point they just remade it as this room-sized contraption, and it has been so long since then that everyone just assumes that is how it has always been

@@TheDownrankTrain like the story of the Grandma's Ham, but bigger instead of smaller lol

@@TheDownrankTrain Nah. That thing is original. And a literal holy relic given it's hand-signed by the Emperor himself.

​@@magni5648When i played, i just assumed he wanted to take the last part with big E's signature

And over half of them died in the process. Because this is the Imperium, doing something major ALWAYS results in casualties.

The high lords can also issue a warrent of trade and make new rouge traders it's often done as punishment for high end nobility and inquisitiors to promote/demote them into a rouge trader and telling them to piss off

from my perspective, is a poeer struggle. The lines have become muddier on who holds power

Tell that to the damn inquisitors and their assassins. *grumbles in annoyance at the inquisition trying to use me like a damn pawn*

Except the powers granted by the rogue trader only apply outside the imperium space while inquisitors and other high ranking members apply inside imperium

It depends on the Trader. Many were indeed signed by the Emperor himself, but many after the Horus Heresy were issued by the High Lords. That said, technically they have more authority than the Inquisition, especially together, and so Rogue Traders may very well be above the authority of the Inquisition so long as they stay within the bounds of Imperial law. That said, technical immunity doesn't matter when the foaming-at-the-mouth fanatics all look the other way out of piety.

I know this trick, you're not a tank, you're an Ork!

Im a simple techpreist, I see a sentient tank, I report it for tech heresy

Sorcery witch!!!!

@@thecamocampaindude5167 Do not fret, its been reported

@@kriegertechpriest7011I thought all Imperial tanks were pseudo-sentient due to their brain powered cogitators. What about those Land Raiders that reportedly continued killing heretics after its crew were dead.

Isn't there an ongoing civil shadow war because there's like 5 different calendar dates in use & no-one knows which is actually correct?

"Abelard. Off with his balls."

I wish they kept doing that for every single new dialog during the whole game :(.

Looking at how the heretic sniper rocked and rolled the whole party during the "Aurora" fight, methinks a sniper might be a necessity in this game. Maybe. So, maybe an officer-sniper, perhaps? Or just an officer with a sniper rifle and really good accuracy, IDK. Assuming that officer party buffs have no range limit.

​@@mirceazaharia2094that bastard nearly wiped me

@@mirceazaharia2094 My battle went more like "Sister Argenta, please use your 4th turn this round to slap his nuts"

​@@mirceazaharia2094 build them right, and snipers can fuck Argenta can Bolter down hoards in a turn. But a Sniper, quite litterally can 1 shot a boss

Stole the suns to power Commoragh, use them as weapons, decorations, political leverage and an instant death trap after teleporting poor souls with their fancy tech into the heart of the suns to get incinerated.

No, they use explosions from the birth of miniature artificial universes, like in men in black.

yup pretty sure they did also look up the solar cult

Yeah, they are called the Captive Suns or Black Suns and the Dark Eldar think it's hilarious that they can enslave the stars themselves

Spoiler: They stole it and you later find a machine made by a dark Eldar that the sun is powering. You can blow it up and open and warp portal in Commorragh

"wait you mean we don't have to manipulate them into doing things that are objectively in both of our interests but in a way that will make things infinitely worse than they could have been?

The last sentence threw me off into the void with how funny that is to imagine

Yes, prince Yriel is quite open about his intentions to rob you.

Imagine stealing the enemy ambassadors car then a fucking inquisitor comes up and sentences you to a penal colony

Iyanden are the Lamenters of the Eldar, they've been through so fucking much.

Psykers either smite several heretics at once with their powers or explode and summon a daemon, yeah that sounds about right

@@ham_the_spam4423It's more specifically Idira (though her powers are more support-oriented) because her being unsanctioned means she got a flat chance to cause a fucky-wucky even if the veil is stable.

hold on the worst i've seen is a demonett, you're telling me the perils of the warp can spawn a whole ass bloodthrister

@@mranderson9553 Bloodletters are basically just the foot soldiers of Khorne, so they aren't THAT dangerous...unless you're on a high difficulty, and the timing of it happening is very, very bad.

As someone who plays a psyker it's even more fun when you have twice the chance.

She’s my baby and I won’t let anyone hurt her.

One of my favorite space wolf books involves them protecting the new head of House Belisarius, and it is a little girl who is already so used to the idea of assassinations from within her own family that she just straight up tells them that the attempt is most likely from an uncle or cousin.

if he had told that's not normal she would been shocked and introspective and admitted she doesn't know everything

Yeah, when judging morality in 40k you have to grade on a curve due to the circumstances many find themselves in.

I wanted to comment on something like this. But my hate blinded me in another one. At the moment, I am nearing the end of the Romance arc with Cassia, I think. She is a sweet, if… Extraordinary Lady that expresses what she sees in an eloquent manner that touches the mind and souls of those around her. Albeit, quite profoundly at times if she’s not careful. All I say is; choose your words wisely and play the game nobles play. If you’re having trouble, read a book from your library about the arts of etiquette. She will find it quite enriching, as you find her just as. I do hope that in the end; House Orsellio joins the Von Valancius Dynasty and changes the Koronus Expanse forevermore in their Union, for the betterment of it’s inhabitants and be a boon for the Imperium during its darkest times.

The size of the warrant proper depends on the dynasty. The warrant isn't just a permission slip, it's a historical record of everything the dynasty has done and owned, so some of the newer ones fit in a stasis-sealed scroll tube that you could wear on your chest, while others are so grand that they're kept in an Administratum data-vault and the bearer of the warrant just carries a cliffs notes version.

@@AGrumpyPanda And the one in the game is closer to the latter given that the Von Valancius Warrant was literally signed by the Emperor when he was still walking about.

@@magni5648 Not even closer; the ones signed by the Emperor or a primarch directly are kept in a sealed vault on Terra itself.

@@AGrumpyPandaThe game itself made that error tbh. It specifically states that von Valencius warrant was signed by the Emperor. So unless that behemoth in the vault is the cliffnotes (which would make the whole attempt to steal it quite pointless) then Owlcat made a little bit of a lore cockup.

Well, big E been stuck on throne for...... well he got his ass vacum sealed to the throne in M31, dunno in what Milenium we currently are but it would be usually in M41 Knowing how absolutely BLOATED administratum and shit like that is at this point, i wouldn't be suprised if some von Valencius at some point just wanted more prestiege by saying that, and since Rogue Trader, who's in their right mind gonna argue?

Plus also telling a servant of an Inquisitor to f**k off tends to result in the servant reporting it, and the Inquisitor immediately assuming you are doing something horribly illegal.

"He tragically perished when our venerable vessel came under attack on the outskirts of the trade periphery. No body was able to be recovered because the entire section got blown open to the void of space. Such a tragic loss Lord Inquisitor." Also known as Dark Angels doctrine.

@@overlorddexter Also catachan doctrine.

fidelio was great, i'll remember that for a long time

It was very amusing and satisfying to just pocket the money myself, as a Rogue Trader :)

- Pasqal threatening a planetary governor with a drill. - The scene where the Dark Eldar show up. - Finding a lonely bald monk in an a abandoned space station in the middle of nowhere, then a moment of sudden horror when you hear the sound of something clawed running in your direction, and it suddenly dawns on you what exactly is wrong with his face...

Ive got him in my party Equiped with a plasma rifle I found just before the Aurora fight, LEts just say that he came in clutch

can he be upgraded to be like the priests from the Mechanicus game, dual wielding giant guns with their back mechanical limbs, holding a mighty axe, and with brains in jars on top of their backpack?

@@ham_the_spam4423 A Heavy Bolter and a Thunder Hammer. Literal segmentum threat.

@@ham_the_spam4423 i can only speak for the mid game, he can get a power claw and healing appendage through his talents, but his specialty is rather than having two weapon loadouts he only has one, but both count as two hander slots so i have him as a melee dude with a sniper for anyone out of range

@@mranderson9553 so just 1 extra limb after his gun arm? a little disappointing, I was hoping he becomes a metal spider like his brethren in Mechanicus

GW are angels compared to Wizards of the Coast.

It's a hard line to walk legally, because you have to protect your IP if you want the full protections of the law. The legal system generally frowns on private actors arbitrarily deciding when something is or is not an offence, for good reason, but the downside of that is you need to at least be seen to be consistent. Remember also that judges aren't going to be aware of all the ins and outs of your company's community relations, and ultimately that's who will rule on whether your claims are valid or not. It's not fully GW's fault, just as the OGL fiasco isn't fully WotC's fault, while it's possible they could have handled it better, they are trying to operate in a legal system that does not provide the flexibility these companies need for proper community management. The whole world of mods and fan content is an emerging area of law that is far from settled, which has been complicated even further in recent years by the rise of AI. This is a lot more complicated than many of the creators who have no background in law make it out to be.

@@kapitankapital6580 Unfortunately, every gamer, modder and content creator are law and IP experts. And in their expert opinion, IP holders are mostly moustache twirling villains who hold the IP they created hostage, out of the hands of fan communities who everyone knows understand, love and work harder for than said villains and their corporate slaves. Jokes aside, it's not surprising modders and fan content creators tend to be clueless about this yet the most problematic bunch. It's admirable that they put out usually free or at least minimally monetized work, but that hardly gives them insight into long term strategy and IP protection, things any responsible IP holder needs to consider. But because the former group are "creating", they feel they have insight into what it means to create a full blown product when they really don't. And then when they get transactional and start claiming they and the community are owed something because of their free work, it starts to get ugly. And that point you raise is really, really important. I always emphasize to detractors that if you don't protect your IP, it hurts your ability to defend hypothetical future attacks on it. Laws in many countries allow a certain degree of fair use, but even that usually requires explicit, not tacit, permission from the IP holder. Allowing some fan projects severely decreases your ability to oppose actual malicious actors. And these bad actors are real, and can come knocking with the most ludicrous of claims or infringements. Companies can potentially spend millions on truckloads of cases you will never hear about in public, because individually they aren't big cases. But they're there. The law, as you say, offers little flexibility in practice here. Independent of legal issues, I also think that fans idea of a community based content ecosystem being the only way is oddly myopic to the various possible business strategies out there, and is notably self-serving. Nintendo was pointed out in the first post, but Nintendo has only in relatively recent years started to get flak, mostly due to video game lets-play VODs, and only from a burgeoning new generation of content creators who were used to playing any game under the sun for content. Nintendo's policy against infringement goes way back decades, is hardly a surprise nor an issue for many older fans, and has been very strictly enforced. I think few can argue it's bought it's own kind of success where there is very little dilution of it's IPs and they have full control over every aspect of it. Could they find success having a more open content model? Sure, but it wouldn't be the same, and it wouldn't necessarily be better. There's no such thing as a one-size-fits-all business model. But then again, content creators often don't any experience that tells them otherwise.

@@kapitankapital6580 Hey just to be clear this entire argument is bullshit. Microsoft allows fans to create insane content with the Halo franchise without bringing legal teams onto them every time they make a game, or mod, or full blown animation. They're actually very supportive of the fan community, and that's coming from fucking Microsoft. There's plenty of other companies that support their fans utilising their IPs. Microsoft has not magically lost control of its Halo IP. It is absolutely GW's fault, just as the OGL fiasco IS fully WotC's fault. These are the same people that sent the fucking Pinkertons after a youtuber for their OWN fuck-up (by sending him cards early). Remove their boot from your mouth, this is the same bullshit argument GW simps use to defend GW all the time.

@@RimmyDownunder This is primarily due to: A) GW is a European based firm, UK. So it can't go "American firm, fuck your local law" B) Germany is a huge market C) German courts have actually forced their hand

Yes, it's actually quite early on in the Ghost novels. It's 3 different regiments all remembering their 'pivotal moment' going differently. It was some important battle for the Bluebloods, something else for the Deepers and then obviously the Fall of Tanith for the Tanith.

It's difficult and risky, but it is possible and has been seen before.

thats only because the COWARDS at owlcat didnt let us fuck pascal, the cutest boi

Was just going to mention that Cassia is precious

Shes not that creepy and honestly between romancing the Hendrix and Jae shes the more appealing option and it helps she shows up first.

Romancing Argenta would be like romancing a dedicated body-building nun, which seems to have problems what with being married to god already... you could become best of friends though, which is still epic

"Argenta isnt romancable but that likely will change in the future" Doubtful. Owlcat is notorious for having companions that people want to romance but they refuse to make them romancable. Like Linzi, Amiri, Nenio and a couple of others from their Pathfinder games for example. There's no reason for Argenta to not be a romance option, because most Sisters of Battle don't actually take vows of chastity. They just won't because they probably can't be bothered to retroactively add content to an established character for free.
