40k Lore! The Stryxis! Untrustworthy Merchants of the Galaxy 

Meanwhile, the Deathskull Orks [aka the greenskins who can out 'magpie' the blood magpies] are looking at everything the Stryxians loot thinking: _"It's free real estate!"_

+@@internetzenmaster8952+ As a Blood Ravens fan; I take offense to the magpie stereotype.

cnlbenmc Merely a ruse to distract us as you steal our relics.

+@@Buzzy_Bland+ Then stop stealing our relics and our Energy Shields and MULTIPLE suits of OUR Terminator Armor!

*Points to Custodes gear that the Blood Ravens have claimed as a 'relic of their chapter'* You want to try again magpie? Because _that_ clearly doesn't belong to your chapter.

300 rounds, six grenades, and a stab wound. take it or leave it.

Then they can have 600

@@jeremyfeldmann7969 If you look at everything in an economic way it makes sense. "Well if you fire 200 shells at me I might lose 4 or 5 old clunkers filled with vat grown slaves (that are worth nothing to me) but you lose 200 valuable shells and if that is all you have I can still stay here and make more resources then those old clunkers I lose are worth. Essentially you lose more than I do either way, therefore I win :) " Or if you have very good shields and/or engines "Go ahead (unless you fire 1000 shells at me I'm in no real danger)" I would love to hear a conversation between a Stryxis and a Ferengi but I shudder to think what kind of monster they could create if they decided to "cooperate" (and at the same time trying to rip eachother off at every turn.

No, no, no. "If you give us mere hundred shells, we'll leave voluntarily"

*HA!!!!* Damn it Owl, you nearly made me spit out my drink from laughing!

:)))

Heretically underrated

Hahahahaha So True! :)

to be fair at least the stryx follow what they say

As far as I know they only appear in the Rogue Trader RPG that came out in 2009.

Right? The delight of learning something new (and horrible) about 40K!

yeah this has to be my new favorite race

Derek Burge The reliable thing about learning something new in 40k is the simple fact that it will be lethal, contagious, eat you, blast your head, doom your immortal soul, take your stuff, or everything at once.

Amen

*power cuts 10 minutes into video*

Don't eat the meaty mushroom soup

....ho

Never trust a Stryxis wearing a better suit than your own.

Just never trust a Stysix. Not even Ferengi will trade with them.

@@danieldomeisen2632 no just skaven and the hairless dog. At least the Ferengi have defined rules for trading and society called the rules of acquisition.

Barry Bend yes they do like "Treat employees like family, exploit them" or "Never cheat a Klingon, unless you can get away with it"

@@jarlupathingy7260 but they never said use your family as a bargaining peace. And also there is one respecting a planets currency as it can be traded for Latinum.

Every rogue capitalist is a nightmare to the Ferengis since the Nagus started taxing bribes, caring for the environment, protecting employees of harassment, allowed unions.

@@phreakazoith2237 even the most basic rules of acquisition don't apply to this race so they are still a Ferengi nightmare.

Just like the Gods to Horus

That's a very good comparison

And you of all people know how that turned out

My only consolation was that even in death, I still looked more fabulous than Fulgrim :)

But that _is_ lying!

No jawas have more business sense.

Rogue Trader: Core Rulebook Rogue Trader: Battlefleet Koronus Rogue Trader: Edge of the Abyss Rogue Trader: Koronus Bestiary "Do not fear, biped. We Stryxis are no threat to you, just poor scavengers and merchants, not like yourself, biped-with your ship and friends. They are good friends, yes? Good friends, strong and pretty. Are they for sale? We Stryxis have pretties too: deadly weapons, secrets, lies, hatreds, and joys. All of these can be yours, biped. Tell us, what is your pleasure?" -Sirred Fain, Stryxis Merchant Master

as a fellow venezuelan i can confirm this story

indeed, 40k roleplay by fantasy flight games imo has fantastic lore

you could call it feral at this point, but what passes as "leaders" in that planet are honestly a mixbag between worshippers of Khorne whom just want to bleed the poppulation dry and worshippers of Tzeentch wanting everybody to hate the Imperium because "reasons" lol

is more like a slaaneshi cult of pleasure focusing on torturing the population every single day

Oh. Communisim.

Declan, The best kind

SangoProductions213 no 😂

@@SangoProductions213 Piracy.

Wrong, they are stryxis.

I am saying the exact same thing as your comment 2 months ago, how am I wrong exactly?

The adorable space slavers

i heard they got a better offer of a home bred cattachan black mamba hahaha

Aint they too big?

I'll take an imperial gross

HMM...EW GOTS ANY CHOPPAS? COZ I NEEDS A GOOD CHOPPA, STINKEYE LOST ME LAST ONE DA GIT SO I 'AD TA MASH 'IM WI'OUT IT AND DA BOSS SAID I CANT CHOP WITH ME DAKKA NO MORE COZ A DAKKA IS FOR DAKKAIN' NOT CHOPPIN' SEPT WHEN THE DAKKA DONT DAKKA DAKKA NO MORE THEN WE CAN CHOP WIF OUR DAKKAS....SO EW GOTS DEM DAKKAS OR NOT?

Moochbag Maybe you friendly Stryxis merchant is interested in learning the orkish rules of acquisition: Beat the merchant's head with your shoota, collect the teeth, pay the merchant with teeth to obtain choppa and then chop with choppa.

Something that might make a Stryxis respect your business acumen.

This is the ultimate uno reverse card

Isn't that normal gun safety?

@@Xarcht Indeed, but in a clusterfuck of a galaxy like in 40k; it probably never crosses one's mind to do so.

Be careful when mentioning that near a Dork Angel, they might think "must be FALLEN!!!" with very loud high pitched rise of volume, then you have all Dork Angels after you while foaming from their mouths like rabid animals.

@@FrstSpctr88 so wait they arnt rabid animals yet since when

china sent you that hurricane or it was uncle sam, from what ive headd its a weird ass storm

Up here in VA, hope donw there in NC and SC be safe bro

Stay safe bud! I've ridden out a few down here on the Gulf Coast.

keep safe

Yeah, no power here in NC, but it could be much worse. Just a Lotta wind and rain. So glad I got the unlimited 4g plan a week ago lol

Chris Wuebbolt Seriously though, I've spent this whole video trying to figure out how to convert up an army of em.

Greenstuff. Lost of Greenstuff.

Playable Faction? Unlikely. Playable, yes. Maybe as a henchmen for a radical Inquisitor in the Deathwatch Codex or some sort of ally for other Xeno scum like the Dark Eldar Court of the Archon.

You play this faction by "borrowing" your friend's army and "forgetting" where you left it... XD

Technically the Hrud are the 40k Skaven, but yeah these guys do have similarities.

i second this

The God Emperor's Holy Inquisition being stood up to by galactically misplaced Scandians? Hell yeah.

Send him some World War medals. Another fan once managed to get an episode that way.

@@JackFrostDoll wasn't that the one about the Crimson Fists' clusterfuck with a WAAAGH?

I could send him a WW1 bayonet, would get the job done as well

Deathpugs That'd made Fallout so creepy

Oh, I heard they also take payments in exploding artillery munitions.

Ello traitor

Leman Russ. REEEEE FUCK OFF FURRY REEEEEE

It could have been worse, it could have been Rogal Dorn. Now there is a name you definitely don't want to hear too often.

@@matt6273 i aint a furrie but my chapter is and i am *disapointed* and yer a cry baby and grow a pear of balls

(In one campaign, in which btw I was the admech player and had as partners a sororitas, a heretek and an administratum that was far more of a heretek than the fucking heretek, we had an encounter with one of those... He just strait up sold a motherfucking STC to us and then proceeded to try to sell us A DAEMON ENGINE. For some context, we were on a mission trying to find said daemon engine because the guys on the ship had found chaos traces and wanted to destroy them, we had gone to him for info, he just strait up showed us the STC as soon as my character entered the door and after the following negotiation (because no fucking way an ad mech isn’t buying that) the sororitas remembered to ask him for the engine and he just went “oh, yes-yes, I have what you’re looking for. But I must warn you it’s very-greatly EXPENSIVE! *hand rubs as he shows AN EVER-MUTATING TANK BEARING THE SIGNS IF FUCKING CHAOS UNDIVIDED ALL OVER IT HE HAD STORED IN THE BACKROOM!*” that was something alright.

@Sir Dankistan No the stc was sold first and then the daemon engine was offered up for sale.

@Sir Dankistan Its in the name.

"Are you sure you want to trade with me, Mephiston, Lord of Death?"

Do not respond, open up with all batteries.

Sir Erwin Rommel begone wehrboo

@@Murphy-mw6be how can someone born in Germany and is Deutsch be a Wehrboo 🤔🤔🤔

They'll happily do the same back, though. And they have a bunch of really dangerous gear.

The exact reason you shoot first with your biggest guns you have good sir.

Step five: proceed to the proper distance necessary for a warp jump, MAKE SURE THEY DIDNT STEAL YOUR GELLAR FIELD GENERATOR, and fucking RUN

Naah. They tell the truth, fullstop. You just need to consider all the implications of that truth.

micromonkey13 the twist is that it’s a fireship aimed at the craftworld.

Cause its not over 40 mins he said vids over 40 mins would only get mid adds

No Ferengi will avoid these people. This race is the Ferengi nightmare.

Shooting them IS trade, though. And mostly they trade with individual human groups like Rogue Traders.

Must have been those lovely ears.
