What do they mean!? Central one is Chaos but what about the others!? top left seems like the Skaven from VT2 but is it reused in 40k? top right also reminds me of… Sienna i think?
Also, Darktide symbol is in-game universe for Tertium? Twin spires over mankind’s Skull, 4 teeth of the political houses, perhaps three verticle lines for prior cities merging into one and wings of the Aquilla for Imperium of Mankind?
…and how about Sefoni’s tatoos for good measure?
A lot of the graffiti in missions is Dark Tongue runes. Usually stuff about Nurgle.
You can see what they mean here: Dark Tongue - Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Top Right: Face of a Beast (Nurgle rune)
The scripts on Sefoni look closer to some Aeldari script tbh.
From the Dark Tongue list it does most closely resemble Horns & Moronic… but just very much more matches vermintide’s Skaven or Horned Rat symbol… just can’t find anything in 40k…
It would be funny if they somehow put Skaven in Darktide.
GW wouldn’t want Skaven in 40k.
Even as an easter egg.
To note that this isn’t the Skaven symbol in the Dark Tongue, it’s just the faction Symbols of the Skavens.
Its more of the symbol of the Skaven Chaos God and then Skaven adopted, who’s similar to nurgle’s themes so I’d more imagine it has different but similar meaning in 40K, but its just fun to think of space Skaven…perhaps the horned rat exists in some form in 40K as other chaos gods but since its not worshiped by a large faction practically non-existent… there’s also goofy lore about Fantasy summoning a space marine into their universe.
It could be a sloppy version of this symbol… that might displease the Chaos Gods tho…
On a Chaos Knight’s decals list and below chaos undivided (Dark Heresy image).
…oh found this… most likely horns as you said… i suspect destruction now
The fun of Skaven hearing eldar & a Space Marine in Fantasy… probably retconned tho…
Been trying to scour the web for Mortis Trial symbols as well… can’t find anything.. really seem unique or some kind of partials of Chaos
Sefoni’s Tatoos are similar to DH with crossed out symbols on legs/arms…maybe negated symbols? Inquisitional / Psyker symbols head/chest similar to Nurgle/Chaos symbols DH variants. Also to note wrist / ankle chain exist but broken/freed?
Dang it false flag… some look so similar to Mortis Trial Symbols…just my VT2 symbol part of Warhammer Fantasy, wheel of “Winds of Magic”… now to figure out what it means..
Aqshy - The Red Wind, the Lore of Fire[1a]
Azyr - The Blue Wind, the Lore of Heavens[1a]
Chamon - The Yellow Wind, the Lore of Metal[1a ]
Ghur - The Brown Wind, the Lore of Beasts[1 a]
Ghyran - The Green Wind, the Lore of Life[ 1a]
Hysh - The White Wind, the Lore of Light [1a]
Shyish - The Purple Wind, the Lore of Death [1a]
Ulgu - The Grey Wind, the Lore of Shado w[1a]
On that script there is one symbol I had not found any known meaning for.
With notes that the Encroaching Ruin will be the domain that the Emperor will coalesce into in the future of the 40k setting (though won’t happen unless GW decide on doing a full reset of the setting à la End Time
Yah i was watchin a video on theoretical chaos gods of 8 total maybe 9th in central… as chaos is more emotionally really just seems whatever figure embodies it most rat or otherwise…
Youtube knows I’m looking…
Nah, that’s Chaos Undivided/whole
There are only the 8 Aetheric Domains (though there are more gods that leech on different domains)
The Great Horned Rat hasn’t had his domain confirmed yet tbf, I’m guessing it’ll be Ravenous Dissolution tbh
The central figure if there is one seems more apocalyptic and end to all matter…I’m thinking like a Ragnarok event at the end of time.
The unlisted similar to VT2 symbol i believe is horns
Missed writing that one, but the one that I have not found elsewhere
Dang my links and that website doesn’t link well…organized in a bunch random link references… trying find the symbol page i pulled from again…
sorry that would have helped earlier ><
WHAT!!! this 3yr old interview had this tacked onto the end!!! what is this thing he speaks of a Skaven 40k… he was constantly trying to pull a yes for space marines whole interview but that look at the end makes me think it “no” but was a possibility at launch… GW tho… is the best thing i have to explain those marks -.-
(sorry video pending)
Full Video, last minute for Skaven
I do want to point that for this specific interview, one of the CM did say to disreguard it cause the Devs had given quite a few wrong informations due to not understanding the question very well, and them coming too fast.
You don’t happen to have that source? I totally believe it, the earlier questions they were quite confused in terms and interviewer was really trying to get YES on anything space marine
So the quickfire weapon questions were hit and miss on our part in regards to the accuracy of the answers, so take those with a few pinches of salt. Outside of the absurd, we have a really long list of really cool weapons, including almost all those asked about in the interview, on our wishlist, and some are of course on the line up for launch. Once we have the full range of items fully ready to go (barring tweaks/balance etc) we’ll let you know what’s going to be available.
The Chaos images are just Symbols of Ruin and Decay from my PoV. I wouldn’t take the symbols anything other than face value chaos marks, graffiti, odd scratching’s, warp markings or other artistic expression from delusional heretics.
I would like if these markings trembled with the warp or shuttered when looked at from time to time. The warp watching you with unknown eyes is very unsettling. Think Eishenhorn (Xenos) and Cherubael haunting his dreams before he understands what it means.
Seeing how Dan Abnett helped create the narrative it is interesting re-reading these books, it just makes me want a Dan Abnett Darktide Series so bad!
I take the symbols with a grain of salt unless they are specifically showcased in a reveal trailer or story cutscene, or thrown in our face during the end of a new missions on Intel we are told to pick up COUGH GSC.
