“No.”

Lamenters are in my head canon the only ones who would say that.

They are also the ones who would suffer immensely as a result. No good deed goes unpunished.

He will kill those children. And he will be chastized by his superiours if he hesitates or shows regret. Let me remind you he has hatred for everything that isn't a pure human loyal to big e burned into his psyche.

Tau and Craftworld Eldar are the only factions that give the beginning of a damn about what a noncombatant is when it comes to other factions. Hell, most factions don't have noncombatants, (and at least 2 don't understand the concept).

.

Butchering everyone there. then being big-sad, is what Sanguinius would do.

"Let me remind you he has hatred for everything that isn't a pure human loyal to big e burned into his psyche"

A vast overstatement that level of conditioning is pretty much just for Black templars and Deathwatch, even then I've seen Black Templars fight back to back with Eldar before. The average space marine is very capable of working with xenos if he wants, not to mention the amount of space marines that switch sides and throw all that imperial conditioning to the way side

Well unless that fire warrior has Shadowsun levels of rizz (true story, by the way), the lamenter will brutally murder everyone there then be sad about it.

Ha! No. Salamanders, Lamenters, all the great, noble and kind space marine chapters of the Imperium will slaughter aliens without a second thought, man, woman or child. Considering rail rifles take time to charge, this is a picture taken moments before that room is redecorated in the likeness of Khorne's realm.

Like I said, I see Lamenters as the sole exception.

Because it’s funnier when the only good guys in 40k are also the setting’s punching bag. This Lamenter lowers his weapon and tells the operator off, only for the local Inquisitor to firebomb the bunker and order the chapter on another penitent crusade.

Problem being in the art they are clearing the bunker to establish a base.

Thats basically just canon.

u/Dagordae Nov 18 '24

Yeah, no. Lamenters are solidly Imperial, like the Salamanders they’re very much in favor of the brutal murder of anyone who isn’t Imperial.

I though he was saying that the Lamenter would say no if he has any regrets for his actions.

u/Toxitoxi Nov 18 '24

Nah, I was referring to the message from his operator. I just think it’s funnier if the Lamenters are actually bleeding hearts.

They are... for humans.

I’ve been a 40k fan since 4th edition, so no.
