Here’s a non-contentious thread for you folks. I’ve never seen a thread in here where we can dump some Darktide related media, so here’s one for your artwork, screenshots, drippy outfits, videos and what have you’s. At least until it goes a week without replies and gets auto-locked, but we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it eh.
I’ll kick it off with some propaganda I cooked up just now, for those of us who are just brimming with Moebian pride and those that don’t, but should.
Back in december I tried to participate in the soundtrack-contest. There came some pretty good videos from the #DarktideSoundtrack tho! Too bad it was never announced who won…
Nice. You know, if there’s one thing I don’t see enough, it’s Darktide edits. Every once in a while I’ll go back and watch the class showcases they dropped pre-release. They’re all great testaments to how visually (and… audibly?) satisfying Darktide can be.
And @Khorne_Dawg don’t worry, this is pre-uprising. Nothing to see here.
I just look for colorless fan art in google and then color it in myself. Very Zen. Im getting better at lighting too. Evidence in terminid image.

If GW released a 40k colouring book, I unironically think it would sell enough to earn them some profit. I’d probably by one. But I get what you mean. I used to do loads of screenshot centered, static scenes in ArmA 3 and it was a similar thing for me. Great way to zone out and just do something stimulating and somewhat satisfying.
Even though it’s not DT related per se, here are a bunch I made that were 40k themed:
No no, these are actual screenshots from inside ArmA 3 (a milsim video game, if you didn’t know). It has a mission editor where you can set scenes like this up. I just did it to tickle myself in the brain. Also I could look at the results (most of the time) and go “hell yeah”.
Most regiments are pulled from the PDF, rather than being directly recruited. Though some planets don’t have a PDF (like on fortress worlds where the entire population is already considered the PDF).
There are some lines from the martyr skulls that make it pretty clear they were pulling recruits for replacement numbers from the general population.
But generally, yes, due to the Munitorum’s minimum requirements, recruits, especially for entirely new regiments, are usually pulled from already trained and equipped standing units.
Cadia was the quintessential fortress world and they raised PDF and regular regiments. The average citizen was just trained, equipped, and fully prepared to fight an invasion as their home in their Kasr was a bunker, sniper’s nest, pillbox, etc.
