@SeraphNatalie@jackpesaurus This is a common problem with a lot of 40k meme stuff. People don't realize just how old and how often this stuff gets thrown around. And every so often one of those folks takes it seriously, and goes on to make a youtube lore video series...
@x_watain @Sherlock302002 @IndianTintin_@GreenTextRepost@forskinquotes You literally can't convert to Zoroastrianism. It's a closed religion. If you're not born within the culture you are not part of it period
@KhapriceHeska@AureliaTempris Not a retcon because it was simply never true. It's your fault for believing the word of Astelan over assuming he would lie about the honor of the Lion :P But those events still happened. Astelan still told the Dark Angels that story.
@RainbowForeman@DocStrangelove2 Guess it just takes practice :D
Tell them all about the Imperial Creed. The Ecclesiarchy, the Inquisition, etc. Leave them in suspense on if the God-Emperor is real.
@RainbowForeman@DocStrangelove2 I find the trick is to stop at the first step. 40k is not 10 thousand years after the Horus Heresy. It's 38,000 years into our own future. Skip the Emperor, skip the Primarchs. Humanity is a bunch of catholic space nazis and go from there.
@VelorisEmbrose @HidirPrime@moricalliope No worries! That's the great thing about 40k. It's so big and been around so long that any idea you have could have a mountain of lore behind it
@VelorisEmbrose @HidirPrime@moricalliope Secret organizations are a dime a dozen in 40k. They come and go throughout history. Remember that every Inquisitor is essentially their own mini empire. There's nothing stopping one from using their own resources to make such an entity out of their own information networks.
@11teadubya @Majimawithadart@Kabooski01 Eh...that's less and less of a thing these days. The Sisters more or less already existed under Vandire as the Brides of the Emperor. Sabastion Thor grandfathered them in as part of the Church reformation. The whole men at arms thing hasn't been mentioned since 4e.
@Majimawithadart@Kabooski01 Two things. The Astartes and Sororitas aren't 1:1 and were created and exist for completely different purposes. And the Orders Non-Militant of the Sororitas cover a lot more than just the Order Famulous.
@m_sigma39 The closest example I can think of would be Kill-Marines, who are independently functioning Deathwatch marines.
Actually, I would recommend checking out the Deathwatch RPG books instead of their codexes. There's a lot of things they do that's fairly similar to the Knights Errant
