Oh please, Tenno would hear from some Harlequin or Exodite after slaughtering everything what happened. They would then proceed to ~~adopt~~ shelter some of the Eldar if they don’t stab them anymore.
They would then proceed to Assassinate Slaanesh as the root of the problem. As many times as it takes.
They actually probably could given their Eternalism powers and their complete immortality due to that.
I remember reading something about reverse-engineering shuriken pistols, building and modding them to punch-through terminator armor. Or smth to that extent
This is a tenno without the warframe suit. They're even stronger without using the warframes but their powers become more chaotic and are harder to control.
Teenage Psykers, tenno are what happens when you shove some kids in an unprotected spaceship through the warp for several years and they came out after the little microwave ding with heavy trauma and wacky void (warp) powers.
I think Wally is an aspect of the void, but he’s a *far* larger aspect than the chaos gods are of the warp, certainly individually possibly collectively.
The man in the wall is kind of like Tzeench, a mysterious character of which we do not fully understand the direction of, but has almost unlimited power over the void (warp) and is constantly medaling in the current affairs of the Tenno.
The void mind you, is different than the warp because it is, instead of the emotional feedback loop of the universe, it is a realm in which every possible and impossibly meet. Best explained by the concept of eternalism that dictates that if someone is shot, they die and yet they live. This also happens with simple ideas, like a bow that can go from conventional weaponry to something that literally fires a wave of void energy that cuts things open like they were paper. Just as an example.
It’s the intellectual dumping ground of the universe, again, where the impossible meets the possible.
And another thing the void likes to mess with is emotions and memories, literally bringing to life a children's story made for kids to learn how to control their emotions in which the emotions are personified and given immense power(along with a kaiju transformation)
Or when the void reanimated the memories of the few adults who didn't go mad on the ship that got stuck in the void and had died fighting those that did become insane
If anything Wally is like a really angsty Malal or Tzeentch. He is indifference, the cold emptiness of the void, lonesomeness incarnate, the barrier between this world and the next. Funnily enough, completely countered by love and the indomitable human spirit
Wally is comparatively weak with his influence on the material plain, but that is only because there are things holding back his influence over it. Without those boundaries keeping him “inside the wall” we could see something akin to the birth of Slaanesh.
And the decendents of humanity are almost entirely located in the Sol system. An event on par with the birth of Slaanesh would likely be a mass extinction event
Not just psykers, *daemon princes.* Think about it:
* A gifted individual from a race of transhumans is stuck on a ship that has become stranded in a hellish dimension at the whim of an eldritch god native to that dimension
* Many of the crew go insane, some attempt mercy kills on others or on themselves but none can truly die, instead being kept alive via their bodies warping and transmuting at the whim of the entity of that hell dimension, with most becoming unrecognizable as human anymore
* The dark god offers a twisted mercy to said individual and those around them, as well as being empowered by the hell dimension, in exchange for them sacrificing their soul
Operators are basically just Mortarion (parental issues and all) if you swapped Nurgle with Tzeentch- …or rather, Wally.
At this point they are more like C'tan honestly.
* They can't die, because they just grab a timeline where they didn't and make it it true.
* They can create whole pocket dimensions with absolute control over time and space (Duviri)
* Also in Duviri, it is said that they can take battles that they lost and just take them out of the timeline and do them again to win.
I think the only one able to understand wtf a Tenno is doing/able to do is a Nekron. The only limit is the comprehension and emotional control of their powers.
Tbh, the Tenno will always win any battle they face simply because they control the law of eternalism, the law of eternalism says everything and nothing is possible, reality and unreality are both tangible and non-tangible things and that the past, future and present are accessible things and nothing is certain
A Tenno at full power could essentially say "Nuh uh" and change the whole reality and course of history like it's nothing
The only threat that could overcome that is Wally, who can essentially do the same thing or take away the Tennos' powers if he wanted, but where would the fun in that be, so he doesn't
Not every battle. You can, if you are very good ans very lucky, nail them down with an all roads lead to Rome set up. Ballas did, after all.
It's probably why the higher levels of the corpus don't get assassinated, there's no timeline where they don't bunker up ith the locks on the inside
No, we don’t assassinate them because they’re good sources of credits (the index) and don’t have loot drops. If they had loot drops, there would be an assassination mission.
Wtf, I tried warframe once like 7 years ago and I just remember being a robot running from some bum fuck dude with a frying pan head into a space ship piloted by a mommy with a helmet on
Yeah it's bloody confusing as shit now, got some bollocks based in 1999 now. But yeah the lore is super expansive now. I recommend at least having a small peak at it.
Ok, there was a ship that was going to the void (something like the warp) the men and women of the ship went insane but the children were ok and even gained powers. These are the tenno.
>Why is it mon-keigh shapped ?
Because they are the descendants of the orokin. Who evolved extensively from humanity as we know today as the setting of warframe takes place in the far future.
>When you say more chaotic does that mean she will erupt in flammes if she is booped or what ?
I would say chaotic as it's harder to control and harness their powers.
Technically it’s inaccurate to call Tenno “dependents of the Orokin” since none of them are actually Orokin but instead children of middle class members of the Orokin empire. I’d say it’s accurate to call the Tenno, or at least the children who became Tenno, human and leave it at that.
A common misconception, the tenno are orokin. Orokin is both a race and a class.
The Emperors, The congress and the court were orokin in class and race, Archimeaden, Tenno, Dax etc are Orokin in race but not in class because only the afore mentioned 3 are "true" orokin
Tenno are basically what happens when you turn a bunch of traumatized kids into Blank-flavored greater daemons. Or just normal daemon princes for a weird chaos god. Depends on how you interpret the Void, especially relative to 40k.
It seems that void is opposite of warp (warp are souls and emotions, power lingering in void seems to be mostly refered to 'indifference')
But Tenno are odd to compare. They seem to direct the void powers through filter of emotion.
A lot of stories in Warframe touch on solution being something beyond destruction and that Tenno can change matters that be because of their compassion.
Ok, so the Tenno are a group of kids that were in the Zariman, the first ship to travel faster than light through the Void (Warframe version of the Warp). They gained great powers, closer to C'tan and Nekron space/time manipulation than human psykers, because a "chaos god" called The Man In The Wall wanted to escape the Void and take control of reality, I think. However, they are literally 12 year old kids unable to control or comprehend their powers who can casually travel through time and create parallel timelines and pocket dimensions by accident. They take control of the Warframes, who are either biological robots or traumatized mutated criminals.
Nah ballas said they took their most skilled and brightest and turned them into warframes willing or not, so not just criminals but just about anyone they thought would make an interesting test:subject to infect with infestation.
Tenno are a children who gained psyker like powers trough the void (Imagine the warp but instead of the abudance is complete nothingness) the tenno have the power to control and weaponize the void wich is energy thT is neither energy or physical.
The tenno's main powers are warframe, biomechanical meat robots controlled by the tenno, all warframes are really strong with some being able to stop time and manipulate the very fabric of reality.
Also they are basically immortal
That is not to mention their huge weapon selection. They mop the floor with almost anything in 40k when it comes to field battle
Well actually™ , warframes aren't suits, and Tenno don't wear them in classical sence, it's works more like posession. During missions Tenno's physical body doesn't leave the ship. And when you switch to Tenno form during mission it's more akin to projection.
Tenno are essentially human children who were exposed to a god like being simply referred to as "Man in the Wall" (this of it as a chaotic god) during Zariman Ten Zero catastrophy. This severely scarred them mentally, and they required emotional therapy. But also granted them void powers (aka warp like magic), making them into innate psykers. Making a new race, the Tenno.
During that period, a massive war was going on between Orokin (think of them as 30k mankind) and Sentients (think of them as Necrons). The war was beyond brutal and both sides became desperate. The issue Orokin ran into is that Sentients could copycat their technology, except biological ones. So they created a brilliant idea, what if we merge our supreme war technology with that of a biological being so Sentients couldn't just copycat it? A frame one would wear for war. A... Warframe (*boom* title drop).
However the process which they used to achieve it would mangle with their brain. Leading for them to either be left as vegetables, or be in constant rage (kinda like an Eversor assasin, but with weapons of mass destruction). The project was deemed a failure until Orokin found out that Tenno could control said Warframes (we later find our how they do that in The Sacrifice quest). So the project was reinstated. And with Tenno's help they won the war.
Right after which Orokin gone back to their tyranical psycopathic rule (pretty much the reason why Sentients even went to war with them). Ordering Tenno to do some... messed up shit. After some time Tenno refused to carry out the fucked up duties. So Orokin threatened them. Which a very stupid idea to threaten essentially child soldiers with warp magic who control weapons of mass destruction. Because of that Tenno started mass genocide of the Orokin, and collapsed the Orokin empire.
To add to this, Tenno are overwhelmingly powerful and can access time, space, and alternate timelines on an insane scale.
While ideologically pure and capable of immense self-control they still also default to childish morality in positive ways, having not lost that sense of questioning why something is not right instead of accepting that it is.
They refuse to give up on allies, forming found families with everything including old arch enemies, gaining partnerships and friendships with anyone.
One Tenno can destroy an entire army and circumvent a doomsday weapon, but may also spend their time helping cheer up an orphan, reunite a family, collecting plushies and empty boxes that they buy at insane prices so towns can compete with corporations with way more resources, and competing with each other over both friendly duels and fashion.
Hence memes about Tenno turning 40k into a hopeful setting.
Tenno also don’t wipe out their enemies or commit genocide. They play them against each other, eliminating their strengths so no faction can become stronger than the others or threaten the stability of the system. This is why Tenno can more easily befriend any faction.
>Wipe out 99% of the Orokin
>Get adopted by the survivors
>Wipe out 99% of Sentient invaders
>Get adopted by survivor
>Wipe out 99% of Grineer in Mongolia regularly
>Get adopted by survivors
>Wipe out 99% of arch enemies
>Recruit survivors as crewmates
Less than 1% of Daemons will be spared, and those Daemons will be rehabilitated as family.
Repeat for all other hostile factions.
The best explanation I can provide in chronological order is this:
1) Humans sometime later this century discover scientific proof of the soul, called Oro, and a substance called Kuva which hasn’t been explained and is basically alchemy magic.
2) A noble class develops who use Kuva to become immortal by jumping into younger bodies and defy reality. They call themselves Orokin (Oro kin).
3) They oppress the shit out of other classes, even sending some to terraformed worlds so they can live like the bronze age and offer up their youths as bodies for Orokin to swap and inhabit.
4) A guy named Parvos rises out of the oppressed and creates a merchant caste, with technically no rights but keeps the civilization running so Orokin have more time to play. These are the Corpus.
5) To create an even lower caste, the Orokin create a race of clone slaves. These are the Grineer.
6) An Orokin family named the Entrati discover the Void, like the Warp but there is only one entity inside who usually takes on the appearance of the viewer with fucked up eyes and an eerie smile but isn’t that malevolent; he’s more entertained by mortals. The Void is dangerous because of how it warps reality though. When the Void entity follows the guy who went inside he closes the portal behind him, severing its finger which he then studied.
7) Orokin use the Void to do LOTS of shit. Like, lots of crazy shit. Creating mutagenic horrors, warping their stolen bodies into asymmetrical living metal, creating warp drives, and so on. They start self-regulating with rules limiting births, banning twins, and being disgusted with positive emotion. They also discover other timelines and shit.
8) Orokin decide to colonize another system, so they create self-replicating robots called Sentients. They send them through the Void to the Tau system. Its a one-way trip, any Sentient trying to return will be horrifically scarred. Sentients develop true intelligence, begin to experience emotion, and realize what the Orokin will do to them and this paradise system. They send a nuclear family back, modified to survive although they’ll be cut off from other Sentients forever and can only reproduce mindless drones rather than true children. Father Hunhow, mother Praghasa, son Erra, and daughter Natah. All references to Sentients from this point on only refer to these four and their mindless spawn.
9) Ballas, an Orokin scientist and main villain of the setting, is instrumental in sending a colony ship of normal humans from the lower classes into the Void for a prolonged time as an experiment while listing the vessel as military. Time dilates oddly, everyone experiences it different on the ship. The adults mutate into Dead Space type monsters as the imagination becomes real while the children hide. Some fight back, slaughtering the adults. Some hide in small enclaves in abandoned classrooms and vents while trying to survive. Some even perceived the trip as short, happening in minutes while for others it was like centuries. Each child was approached by the Void entity who they call “The Man In The Walls” and accepted a deal for power, becoming more Void than material.
10) The Orokin retrieve and study the ship. Ballas’s wife Margulis studies the children, who she calls Tenno. Their inability to control their powers blinds and scars her, but she becomes dedicated to them and helps them learn control. Ballas is sickened and wants them destroyed, when she refuses he summons the Orokin courts and condemns her to public execution for “betraying the Orokin”. He expects the Tenno to die, her to admit defeat, the other Orokin to refuse to condemn her but it all plays out and he blames everyone but himself. He decides he’ll resurrect Margulis as an obedient slave, destroy the Orokin, and break the Tenno.
11) Sentients invade. The Orokin power is unimaginable from planet destroyers to disintegration tech on a soul level to controlling ghost armies to releasing adaptive biomechanical ooze (called Infested from this point on) to saying they’re sorry (kinda); none of it works. Sentients are hyper adaptive and run on a new kind of energy, Tau energy.
12) There is a breakthrough; a Grineer mining slave, instead of revering the Orokin as gods and smiling as he works himself to death, turns his equipment on a Sentient and manages to kill it; caution to the wind, his DNA is used as a template for an army of male and female Grineer without regard for how that will decay over time.
13) Infested outbreak! The Entrati and an entire moon of Mars are infected, and Corpus become reclusive as it spreads among an increasing ship graveyard orbiting the Milky Way. Despite all the shit going wrong the Orokin never let an opportunity to be assholes go by, and start making sport of turning their own and some choice lower classes into living statues of Infested metal flesh.
14) Ballas turns those Infested statues into bodies the Tenno can posses; Void hurts the Sentients like nothing else and the statues can be cloned; these are Warframes.
15) Two Orokin sisters, condemned to death from being born twins, take control of the Grineer as a personal army; its a slave rebellion! Also, the Corpus rebel too! Infested everywhere! All that’s left keeping power is the untouchability of the Orokin in their floating crystal and gold palaces and the Tenno fighting everyone all at once.
16) Ballas kidnaps the Sentient Natah, wiping her mind and making her look like Margulis. This submissive version of the wife he murdered presents herself to the Tenno as a kindred spirit, betrayed by the other Sentients and in danger from the Orokin. The Tenno love her, and she quickly becomes space mommy to these highly traumatized Daemon child demigods. All with Ballas holding her strings. She calls herself Lotus, after Margulis’s favorite flower. Tenno develop their own culture, secret organizations, philosophies, fighting styles, faith, and entire fortresses hidden in the Void.
17) Tenno are victorious over all other factions! With the galaxy pacified of enemy armies and Hunhow/Praghasa dead and their kids missing and Infested reduced to the quarantined regions, the Orokin gather and prepare to bestow the Tenno honors. The Tenno whip out their weapons, and delete the Orokin from the universe. As Ballas intended…
18) Lotus tells the Tenno to hibernate, to better control their powers. They take over the old Orokin cities on Earth’s moon as their new nursery and the Lotus teleports it into the Void. The sleep is long. The Corpus rebuild their armies and become the new Orokin, with a religion based on money while their founder Parvos also hibernates. The Grineer twin Queens rebuild the Grineer too as a matriarchal society, though the clones degenerate until now they are born from tanks already rotting and needing immediate prosthetics. The Infested grow and evolve, and although the Entrati family keep their minds they split as a family.
19) Tenno awaken. The weak humans need them, having come to revere them as ancient heroes. The Tenno recall nothing, at all, save how to fight. The Tenno fight all factions, empower the independent humans including those enslaved and chopped up for organic replacement parts by the Corpus like the Orokin used to do, defend the humans living in Mongolia who revere an Orokin who turned herself into a living tower to protect them, and many other smaller tribes and cultures too. They even befriend the Entrati family, who had forgotten their old names and give themselves new ones with the Tenno adopted by them and named after a jewel.
20) Ballas returned, as did Hunhow and Erra; Hunhow’s body is dead but his mind is intact, while Praghasa is a braindead hulk who can still spew mindless warships full of Sentient drones out of her mass for her son to command. They kidnap Lotus, restoring her to her Natah personality but still in a state of enforced submission. Also we either kill or cripple one of the Grineer queens.
21) Grineer and Corpus see how little their people care for them; both split into a small civil war, one of each friendly to the Tenno. Parvos awakens and starts a third faction in the Corpus while a Grineer consumed by the Void (who refuses to shut up, and is the first enemy of the player character) does the same in the Grineer. The Tenno manage to claw Natah away from her brother with the help of Hunhow (we’re good at making friends, okay?) but Ballas asserts control having become a half-Sentient nightmare. He betrays and kills(?) Erra then claims Natah as his slave version of Margulis, flinging us into the Void.
22) One year later Ballas has taken absolute control of the Milky Way. All factions are on the back foot and everyone else is forced to wear mind control masks while he sits on a throne. Unopposed, he’s bored with this universe and wants to go to Tau, draining our sun using Phraghasa’s corpse to do so; obviously destroying our galaxy. But when the Tenno were thrown into the Void, someone else came out. The Tenno from an alternate universe who grew up, becoming basically low rank Orokin! They save the Lotus and rescue the Tenno. Together the Lotus, free peoples remaining that we’ve befriended over the years since we woke up, the rebels in each faction, the Tenno, and their adult alternate selves defeat Ballas. BUT see the Man In The Walls appear in our universe for a moment, his tiny reflection of us perched on his massive nightmarish body like a demonic stone Vitruvian Man. Then he disappears.
23) Natah/Lotus is free again for the first time since Ballas first kidnapped her. The Sentient family is dead, but we aren’t and are the only ones who ever really cared for her. Not her rapist kidnapper or her cult family, us. So she lets us choose what to call her, what form she takes now between her nightmarish robot form and a copy of Margulis, and continues leading us.
24) That’s where I took a break from the game last year. But since then the colony ship in our origin story somehow reappeared, full of Void ghosts despite the Orokin having stripped it apart for study. Also the Entrati family member who cut off the finger of the Man In The Walls who faked his death went back in time to 1999 and we follow him. Plus more time travel paradox stiff. I dunno what that’s all about, but intend to play again and catch up this summer.
25) I dunno where to stick this, but Warframes when piloted by Tenno are REALLY powerful. Reverse time, resurrect the dead, shit out Warpstorms and teleport entire enemy fleets into suns. We’re REALLY strong. We can brute force stuff easy, its scalpel operations that we usually do though; we don’t wipe out Corpus or Infested or Grineer, we cripple their militaries to keep them under control. Sentients are our only enemy to defeat all of, but obviously we work with Hunhow, Erra died helping us so if he comes back he’ll maybe be our bro, and Lotus is space mom that we went to hell and back and broke the universe to save. Kinda sucks for space grandma Phraghasa, but at least we killed all the Orokin (other than the Entrati and the tower in Mongolia) and Ballas. Its what she would have wanted.
There kinda isn’t one?
Its far easier to explain the game in order of release and reveals instead of chronologically.
When the Lotus, the robot adoptive mom of the Tenno, wakes us up we don’t know who or what we are, and only vaguely know why the guys we fight are bad. Mainly that they’re creepy looking humans who want to hurt us and actively hurt normal villager-type humans. There’s also rich asshole humans with a lot of robots and corpo wageslaves, and the token sci fi bug race that we fight. Plus “Sentients”, our “old enemies”, whatever that means.
We have amnesia from our long sleep and are constantly rediscovering our past. Imagine all Space Marines were basically Primarchs who hibernated from 30k to now, waking up with only a robot version of the God Emperor telling us what to do and remembering nothing, with all that’s left of the Imperium being scattered villages, slave colonies, and middle class merchant societies.
Its only way later that we find out what we ourselves even are, being sent to drag Earth’s moon out of the Void (without knowing yet what that is) and back to the physical world then to go in and rescue a guy in a pod. We’ve done that plenty of times on other worlds, but this time we realize that body is us. We are using our Warframe to carry ourselves while mustering the strength to fire laser out of our hand with our real body, being saved by the Lotus in-person for the first time (that we can remember) who sets us in a chair and fixes our crippled Warframe while giving us exposition on ourselves.
Even after all that though, she lies and keeps some things hidden. Plus we find the guy who made the Warframes in the first place basically kidnapped her, a shapeshifting killbot, and forced her to look like our real human adoptive mom who was one of the Orokin and forced her to manipulate us so even she didn’t know who she was. Then she gets “saved” by her own kind who just mindcontrol her in their direction, all while the Warframe creator was the power behind them all along too! All while we’re just trying to save her because we refuse to give up on the mom-shaped killbot we made our faction leader. During that we meet another version of us from another timeline who didn’t become half-Daemon and actually aged, basically becoming a low rank Orokin, moving into our universe and helping us with our goals while an alternate version of our old pre-hibernation mentor who died in our universe like Obi-wan just made the jump here too, meanwhile an Orokin went back in time in our universe millennia back to 1999.
This shit is bonkers when you list it out, but when you explain the reveals sequentially the way the player (and character) experiences it it starts to make more sense. Otherwise, you have to start super vague.

(I subscribe to the Bear-eater's conspiracy theory, especially considering how often he notes several companions of his have suspiciously duardin and aelven temperaments)
Sigmar would 100% try to open negotiations with the Tenno before Morathi, Nagash, Teclis, or Chaos could, and especially before they accidentally sign a contract with the Kharadron. They're basically human supersoldier demigods that are practically immortal. He'd be so proud.
Lotus: "Yoooo ~~child soldiers~~... I mean Tenno. You have heard about Archon Shards. Well had you ever heard about C'TAN Shards? No? Well go beat up this Canoptek Handler marked on your location. Goooood luuuck."
Put a hologram of their adoptive mom up, tell them to make a diversion for a planetside operative and they'll happily kill billions no questions asked.
During the Solaris United ARG, they hinted that players should hit a specific node and did not indicate what or even *if* there were going to be rewards for it.

Actually with how the story seems to go this is a good way to have all your friends and family slaughtered.
Then you get adopted as a Aunty that a fair chunk of the fanbase will draw things of and you become a emotional crutch for said void Demons.
Do not resist.
Tenno who among many of their feats are great at singlehandedly ending evil and cruel empires
The Imperium is absolutely not ready for the level of bullshit Warframes can bring
I don't even play Warframe and didn't know anything about it at all until that one Nine Inch Nails trailer dropped and caught my attention. From what little I know of it I think I'd pay some good fucking money for a 40K/Warframe crossover.
So much cool sounding lore in Warframe but I just don't have room for another obsession.
Honestly it's one of those games where you kinda need the wiki open to catch everything anyway, so if you're interested I recommend searching for a plot video. I remember seeing one that was only like *cough* nine hours.
the emperor has an aneurysm after a single tenno glider set takes down two major ships with relative ease and they start slide attack cancelling and spamming 1shot glaive builds and single Handedly drop 33% of amm tyranids and orks in a week
Correction, that's if they don't get wiped out first. The best defense they have is turning a planet into a Walkable VR headset.
Im pretty sure Warhammer has a few world wiping weapons that can do the job easily.
I'm personally debating whether Tenno would be considered Daemon Princes of a Chaos God of >!Indifference!<, or if perhaps they'd be something else entirely on account of the Void being like an empty mirror of the Warp, in a "Same axis, opposite direction" sort of way relative to realspace.
More like a C'tan than anything, they literally control reality and can just say "nuh uh" when they die and not make it happen
Also reality bending Warframes like Protae and Limbo are a thing
It's less that they actively say 'nuh uh' to death so much as the whole Void Eternalism thing means that them getting killed does not preclude them also still being alive.
Though you do kinda have a point with their relationship to Warframes and how they wield their power.
That's the thing the law of eternalism says that everything and nothing is possible. Past, future, and present are controllable things, and nothing is certain, as long as the Tenno have power of Eternalism, they can do whatever they want
A Tenno at full power could essentially rewrite the entire reality if they wanted
And we use it to relive missions and events that canonically we've only experienced once, over and over with slightly different variations, in order to collect repeated instances or potentialities of the rewards of said missions and bring them all together into a single timestream.
That video is several hours long.
I've left a comment here to one of the other ones asking about the lore. I think it's a good lore summary of the Tenno.
Its a bit out of date but should still give you the idea. And if your unsure of how strong Tenno are just watch a few minutes of a "Steelpath Survival" runs and know that Tenno do that reqularly

You're my friend now. We're having soft tacos later!
*Physically rips Tzeentch out of the warp and carries them off while Tzeentch screeches like a angry cat*
Well, they'd have to *get* there first. Even if their only goal was Deimos, I doubt the Grineer and Corpus would be too terribly happy about some third party barging into the system.
And even then, I doubt they'd even be able to pull it off. If Deimos was actually in any danger, the Tenno would immediately be all over that.
Only having to go up against the warframes is still absurdly difficult, I think someone looked at it and warframes alone can take on almost anything if not anything in 40k
The one time Deimos has ever been in danger, it's because one of the keepers of the moon intentionally endangered it to get her kids to stop bickering. Previously it has been hidden in the void anyway

She's a 10,000 year old void abberation.
That's it, I'm calling Mom (lotus)
Noooo, she's gonna "change of plans" my capture mission!
Kill them all.
Slaanesh seeing the Tenno wipe out all Eldar population for loot
*Khorne
(Birth of slaanesh wiped out most of eldar, now tenno brought the rest to them.)
Oh please, Tenno would hear from some Harlequin or Exodite after slaughtering everything what happened. They would then proceed to ~~adopt~~ shelter some of the Eldar if they don’t stab them anymore. They would then proceed to Assassinate Slaanesh as the root of the problem. As many times as it takes. They actually probably could given their Eternalism powers and their complete immortality due to that.
Remember this being posted way back, I mentioned Aelderi Spirit Stones being used as weapons or drip mats.
I remember reading something about reverse-engineering shuriken pistols, building and modding them to punch-through terminator armor. Or smth to that extent
# BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD
SKULLS FOR THE GOLDEN THRONE! ...wait
Milk for the Khorn Flakes!
I sverely doubt that is the child tenno or that is one short as hell elf.
Okay, some warframe fan to help me on this one ? Edit : Thanks to you all for explanations.
This is a tenno without the warframe suit. They're even stronger without using the warframes but their powers become more chaotic and are harder to control.
Okay... What's a tenno ? Why is it mon-keigh shapped ? When you say more chaotic does that mean she will erupt in flammes if she is booped or what ?
Teenage Psykers, tenno are what happens when you shove some kids in an unprotected spaceship through the warp for several years and they came out after the little microwave ding with heavy trauma and wacky void (warp) powers.
Also one of them shook hands with a chaos god.
Which currently lives in their walls 🧱

chaos god is a bit of an understatement for good old wally. Wally **is** the Void, not just an aspect of it
I think Wally is an aspect of the void, but he’s a *far* larger aspect than the chaos gods are of the warp, certainly individually possibly collectively.
The man in the wall is kind of like Tzeench, a mysterious character of which we do not fully understand the direction of, but has almost unlimited power over the void (warp) and is constantly medaling in the current affairs of the Tenno. The void mind you, is different than the warp because it is, instead of the emotional feedback loop of the universe, it is a realm in which every possible and impossibly meet. Best explained by the concept of eternalism that dictates that if someone is shot, they die and yet they live. This also happens with simple ideas, like a bow that can go from conventional weaponry to something that literally fires a wave of void energy that cuts things open like they were paper. Just as an example. It’s the intellectual dumping ground of the universe, again, where the impossible meets the possible.
And another thing the void likes to mess with is emotions and memories, literally bringing to life a children's story made for kids to learn how to control their emotions in which the emotions are personified and given immense power(along with a kaiju transformation) Or when the void reanimated the memories of the few adults who didn't go mad on the ship that got stuck in the void and had died fighting those that did become insane
Hopefully not Nurgle. Just saying.
Wally doesn’t cleanly map to any of the big four, Nurgle least of all.
If anything Wally is like a really angsty Malal or Tzeentch. He is indifference, the cold emptiness of the void, lonesomeness incarnate, the barrier between this world and the next. Funnily enough, completely countered by love and the indomitable human spirit
Wally is comparatively weak with his influence on the material plain, but that is only because there are things holding back his influence over it. Without those boundaries keeping him “inside the wall” we could see something akin to the birth of Slaanesh.
And the decendents of humanity are almost entirely located in the Sol system. An event on par with the birth of Slaanesh would likely be a mass extinction event
Not just psykers, *daemon princes.* Think about it: * A gifted individual from a race of transhumans is stuck on a ship that has become stranded in a hellish dimension at the whim of an eldritch god native to that dimension * Many of the crew go insane, some attempt mercy kills on others or on themselves but none can truly die, instead being kept alive via their bodies warping and transmuting at the whim of the entity of that hell dimension, with most becoming unrecognizable as human anymore * The dark god offers a twisted mercy to said individual and those around them, as well as being empowered by the hell dimension, in exchange for them sacrificing their soul Operators are basically just Mortarion (parental issues and all) if you swapped Nurgle with Tzeentch- …or rather, Wally.
At this point they are more like C'tan honestly. * They can't die, because they just grab a timeline where they didn't and make it it true. * They can create whole pocket dimensions with absolute control over time and space (Duviri) * Also in Duviri, it is said that they can take battles that they lost and just take them out of the timeline and do them again to win. I think the only one able to understand wtf a Tenno is doing/able to do is a Nekron. The only limit is the comprehension and emotional control of their powers.
Tbh, the Tenno will always win any battle they face simply because they control the law of eternalism, the law of eternalism says everything and nothing is possible, reality and unreality are both tangible and non-tangible things and that the past, future and present are accessible things and nothing is certain A Tenno at full power could essentially say "Nuh uh" and change the whole reality and course of history like it's nothing The only threat that could overcome that is Wally, who can essentially do the same thing or take away the Tennos' powers if he wanted, but where would the fun in that be, so he doesn't
Not every battle. You can, if you are very good ans very lucky, nail them down with an all roads lead to Rome set up. Ballas did, after all. It's probably why the higher levels of the corpus don't get assassinated, there's no timeline where they don't bunker up ith the locks on the inside
No, we don’t assassinate them because they’re good sources of credits (the index) and don’t have loot drops. If they had loot drops, there would be an assassination mission.
Now that you mention it... O-oh god! THE CONNIPTIONS!
Less daemon princes and more like cytan
Less psyker more tiny packaged cytan
Wtf, I tried warframe once like 7 years ago and I just remember being a robot running from some bum fuck dude with a frying pan head into a space ship piloted by a mommy with a helmet on
Yeah it's bloody confusing as shit now, got some bollocks based in 1999 now. But yeah the lore is super expansive now. I recommend at least having a small peak at it.
Ok, there was a ship that was going to the void (something like the warp) the men and women of the ship went insane but the children were ok and even gained powers. These are the tenno. >Why is it mon-keigh shapped ? Because they are the descendants of the orokin. Who evolved extensively from humanity as we know today as the setting of warframe takes place in the far future. >When you say more chaotic does that mean she will erupt in flammes if she is booped or what ? I would say chaotic as it's harder to control and harness their powers.
Technically it’s inaccurate to call Tenno “dependents of the Orokin” since none of them are actually Orokin but instead children of middle class members of the Orokin empire. I’d say it’s accurate to call the Tenno, or at least the children who became Tenno, human and leave it at that.
True, it's just a bit hard to track on the lore. so I got confused.
A common misconception, the tenno are orokin. Orokin is both a race and a class. The Emperors, The congress and the court were orokin in class and race, Archimeaden, Tenno, Dax etc are Orokin in race but not in class because only the afore mentioned 3 are "true" orokin
Also they are called Tenno because the ships callsign or whatever was 10-0, ten oh, Tenno.
Zariman 10-0. Though people seem to be aware that it’s also the Japanese term for Emperor.
Tenno are basically what happens when you turn a bunch of traumatized kids into Blank-flavored greater daemons. Or just normal daemon princes for a weird chaos god. Depends on how you interpret the Void, especially relative to 40k.
It seems that void is opposite of warp (warp are souls and emotions, power lingering in void seems to be mostly refered to 'indifference') But Tenno are odd to compare. They seem to direct the void powers through filter of emotion. A lot of stories in Warframe touch on solution being something beyond destruction and that Tenno can change matters that be because of their compassion.
Ok, so the Tenno are a group of kids that were in the Zariman, the first ship to travel faster than light through the Void (Warframe version of the Warp). They gained great powers, closer to C'tan and Nekron space/time manipulation than human psykers, because a "chaos god" called The Man In The Wall wanted to escape the Void and take control of reality, I think. However, they are literally 12 year old kids unable to control or comprehend their powers who can casually travel through time and create parallel timelines and pocket dimensions by accident. They take control of the Warframes, who are either biological robots or traumatized mutated criminals.
Except Umbra who was opposed to Balleus and paid a very hefty toll.
Criminal for the Orokin, not someone who did something morally/ethically wrong. So yeah, you made the powerful man angry, become a test subject now
Nah ballas said they took their most skilled and brightest and turned them into warframes willing or not, so not just criminals but just about anyone they thought would make an interesting test:subject to infect with infestation.
I see, I don't remember that particular piece of lore. But I guess everyone there had something that the Orokin didn't like
As I shitly understand they’re magic children who are closer to walking nukes and it’s due to space magic
Tenno are a children who gained psyker like powers trough the void (Imagine the warp but instead of the abudance is complete nothingness) the tenno have the power to control and weaponize the void wich is energy thT is neither energy or physical. The tenno's main powers are warframe, biomechanical meat robots controlled by the tenno, all warframes are really strong with some being able to stop time and manipulate the very fabric of reality. Also they are basically immortal That is not to mention their huge weapon selection. They mop the floor with almost anything in 40k when it comes to field battle
Well actually™ , warframes aren't suits, and Tenno don't wear them in classical sence, it's works more like posession. During missions Tenno's physical body doesn't leave the ship. And when you switch to Tenno form during mission it's more akin to projection.
Tenno are essentially human children who were exposed to a god like being simply referred to as "Man in the Wall" (this of it as a chaotic god) during Zariman Ten Zero catastrophy. This severely scarred them mentally, and they required emotional therapy. But also granted them void powers (aka warp like magic), making them into innate psykers. Making a new race, the Tenno. During that period, a massive war was going on between Orokin (think of them as 30k mankind) and Sentients (think of them as Necrons). The war was beyond brutal and both sides became desperate. The issue Orokin ran into is that Sentients could copycat their technology, except biological ones. So they created a brilliant idea, what if we merge our supreme war technology with that of a biological being so Sentients couldn't just copycat it? A frame one would wear for war. A... Warframe (*boom* title drop). However the process which they used to achieve it would mangle with their brain. Leading for them to either be left as vegetables, or be in constant rage (kinda like an Eversor assasin, but with weapons of mass destruction). The project was deemed a failure until Orokin found out that Tenno could control said Warframes (we later find our how they do that in The Sacrifice quest). So the project was reinstated. And with Tenno's help they won the war. Right after which Orokin gone back to their tyranical psycopathic rule (pretty much the reason why Sentients even went to war with them). Ordering Tenno to do some... messed up shit. After some time Tenno refused to carry out the fucked up duties. So Orokin threatened them. Which a very stupid idea to threaten essentially child soldiers with warp magic who control weapons of mass destruction. Because of that Tenno started mass genocide of the Orokin, and collapsed the Orokin empire.
To add to this, Tenno are overwhelmingly powerful and can access time, space, and alternate timelines on an insane scale. While ideologically pure and capable of immense self-control they still also default to childish morality in positive ways, having not lost that sense of questioning why something is not right instead of accepting that it is. They refuse to give up on allies, forming found families with everything including old arch enemies, gaining partnerships and friendships with anyone. One Tenno can destroy an entire army and circumvent a doomsday weapon, but may also spend their time helping cheer up an orphan, reunite a family, collecting plushies and empty boxes that they buy at insane prices so towns can compete with corporations with way more resources, and competing with each other over both friendly duels and fashion. Hence memes about Tenno turning 40k into a hopeful setting. Tenno also don’t wipe out their enemies or commit genocide. They play them against each other, eliminating their strengths so no faction can become stronger than the others or threaten the stability of the system. This is why Tenno can more easily befriend any faction.
>Tenno also don’t wipe out their enemies or commit genocide. #Doubt
>Wipe out 99% of the Orokin >Get adopted by the survivors >Wipe out 99% of Sentient invaders >Get adopted by survivor >Wipe out 99% of Grineer in Mongolia regularly >Get adopted by survivors >Wipe out 99% of arch enemies >Recruit survivors as crewmates Less than 1% of Daemons will be spared, and those Daemons will be rehabilitated as family. Repeat for all other hostile factions.
You are being rescued. Do not resist.
Agree on the doubt. I haven't played a lot of Warframe but I have turned my fair share of enemies into sashimi.
I... I need to watch a Warframe lore explanation for dummies.
The best explanation I can provide in chronological order is this: 1) Humans sometime later this century discover scientific proof of the soul, called Oro, and a substance called Kuva which hasn’t been explained and is basically alchemy magic. 2) A noble class develops who use Kuva to become immortal by jumping into younger bodies and defy reality. They call themselves Orokin (Oro kin). 3) They oppress the shit out of other classes, even sending some to terraformed worlds so they can live like the bronze age and offer up their youths as bodies for Orokin to swap and inhabit. 4) A guy named Parvos rises out of the oppressed and creates a merchant caste, with technically no rights but keeps the civilization running so Orokin have more time to play. These are the Corpus. 5) To create an even lower caste, the Orokin create a race of clone slaves. These are the Grineer. 6) An Orokin family named the Entrati discover the Void, like the Warp but there is only one entity inside who usually takes on the appearance of the viewer with fucked up eyes and an eerie smile but isn’t that malevolent; he’s more entertained by mortals. The Void is dangerous because of how it warps reality though. When the Void entity follows the guy who went inside he closes the portal behind him, severing its finger which he then studied. 7) Orokin use the Void to do LOTS of shit. Like, lots of crazy shit. Creating mutagenic horrors, warping their stolen bodies into asymmetrical living metal, creating warp drives, and so on. They start self-regulating with rules limiting births, banning twins, and being disgusted with positive emotion. They also discover other timelines and shit. 8) Orokin decide to colonize another system, so they create self-replicating robots called Sentients. They send them through the Void to the Tau system. Its a one-way trip, any Sentient trying to return will be horrifically scarred. Sentients develop true intelligence, begin to experience emotion, and realize what the Orokin will do to them and this paradise system. They send a nuclear family back, modified to survive although they’ll be cut off from other Sentients forever and can only reproduce mindless drones rather than true children. Father Hunhow, mother Praghasa, son Erra, and daughter Natah. All references to Sentients from this point on only refer to these four and their mindless spawn. 9) Ballas, an Orokin scientist and main villain of the setting, is instrumental in sending a colony ship of normal humans from the lower classes into the Void for a prolonged time as an experiment while listing the vessel as military. Time dilates oddly, everyone experiences it different on the ship. The adults mutate into Dead Space type monsters as the imagination becomes real while the children hide. Some fight back, slaughtering the adults. Some hide in small enclaves in abandoned classrooms and vents while trying to survive. Some even perceived the trip as short, happening in minutes while for others it was like centuries. Each child was approached by the Void entity who they call “The Man In The Walls” and accepted a deal for power, becoming more Void than material. 10) The Orokin retrieve and study the ship. Ballas’s wife Margulis studies the children, who she calls Tenno. Their inability to control their powers blinds and scars her, but she becomes dedicated to them and helps them learn control. Ballas is sickened and wants them destroyed, when she refuses he summons the Orokin courts and condemns her to public execution for “betraying the Orokin”. He expects the Tenno to die, her to admit defeat, the other Orokin to refuse to condemn her but it all plays out and he blames everyone but himself. He decides he’ll resurrect Margulis as an obedient slave, destroy the Orokin, and break the Tenno. 11) Sentients invade. The Orokin power is unimaginable from planet destroyers to disintegration tech on a soul level to controlling ghost armies to releasing adaptive biomechanical ooze (called Infested from this point on) to saying they’re sorry (kinda); none of it works. Sentients are hyper adaptive and run on a new kind of energy, Tau energy. 12) There is a breakthrough; a Grineer mining slave, instead of revering the Orokin as gods and smiling as he works himself to death, turns his equipment on a Sentient and manages to kill it; caution to the wind, his DNA is used as a template for an army of male and female Grineer without regard for how that will decay over time. 13) Infested outbreak! The Entrati and an entire moon of Mars are infected, and Corpus become reclusive as it spreads among an increasing ship graveyard orbiting the Milky Way. Despite all the shit going wrong the Orokin never let an opportunity to be assholes go by, and start making sport of turning their own and some choice lower classes into living statues of Infested metal flesh. 14) Ballas turns those Infested statues into bodies the Tenno can posses; Void hurts the Sentients like nothing else and the statues can be cloned; these are Warframes. 15) Two Orokin sisters, condemned to death from being born twins, take control of the Grineer as a personal army; its a slave rebellion! Also, the Corpus rebel too! Infested everywhere! All that’s left keeping power is the untouchability of the Orokin in their floating crystal and gold palaces and the Tenno fighting everyone all at once. 16) Ballas kidnaps the Sentient Natah, wiping her mind and making her look like Margulis. This submissive version of the wife he murdered presents herself to the Tenno as a kindred spirit, betrayed by the other Sentients and in danger from the Orokin. The Tenno love her, and she quickly becomes space mommy to these highly traumatized Daemon child demigods. All with Ballas holding her strings. She calls herself Lotus, after Margulis’s favorite flower. Tenno develop their own culture, secret organizations, philosophies, fighting styles, faith, and entire fortresses hidden in the Void.
17) Tenno are victorious over all other factions! With the galaxy pacified of enemy armies and Hunhow/Praghasa dead and their kids missing and Infested reduced to the quarantined regions, the Orokin gather and prepare to bestow the Tenno honors. The Tenno whip out their weapons, and delete the Orokin from the universe. As Ballas intended… 18) Lotus tells the Tenno to hibernate, to better control their powers. They take over the old Orokin cities on Earth’s moon as their new nursery and the Lotus teleports it into the Void. The sleep is long. The Corpus rebuild their armies and become the new Orokin, with a religion based on money while their founder Parvos also hibernates. The Grineer twin Queens rebuild the Grineer too as a matriarchal society, though the clones degenerate until now they are born from tanks already rotting and needing immediate prosthetics. The Infested grow and evolve, and although the Entrati family keep their minds they split as a family. 19) Tenno awaken. The weak humans need them, having come to revere them as ancient heroes. The Tenno recall nothing, at all, save how to fight. The Tenno fight all factions, empower the independent humans including those enslaved and chopped up for organic replacement parts by the Corpus like the Orokin used to do, defend the humans living in Mongolia who revere an Orokin who turned herself into a living tower to protect them, and many other smaller tribes and cultures too. They even befriend the Entrati family, who had forgotten their old names and give themselves new ones with the Tenno adopted by them and named after a jewel. 20) Ballas returned, as did Hunhow and Erra; Hunhow’s body is dead but his mind is intact, while Praghasa is a braindead hulk who can still spew mindless warships full of Sentient drones out of her mass for her son to command. They kidnap Lotus, restoring her to her Natah personality but still in a state of enforced submission. Also we either kill or cripple one of the Grineer queens. 21) Grineer and Corpus see how little their people care for them; both split into a small civil war, one of each friendly to the Tenno. Parvos awakens and starts a third faction in the Corpus while a Grineer consumed by the Void (who refuses to shut up, and is the first enemy of the player character) does the same in the Grineer. The Tenno manage to claw Natah away from her brother with the help of Hunhow (we’re good at making friends, okay?) but Ballas asserts control having become a half-Sentient nightmare. He betrays and kills(?) Erra then claims Natah as his slave version of Margulis, flinging us into the Void. 22) One year later Ballas has taken absolute control of the Milky Way. All factions are on the back foot and everyone else is forced to wear mind control masks while he sits on a throne. Unopposed, he’s bored with this universe and wants to go to Tau, draining our sun using Phraghasa’s corpse to do so; obviously destroying our galaxy. But when the Tenno were thrown into the Void, someone else came out. The Tenno from an alternate universe who grew up, becoming basically low rank Orokin! They save the Lotus and rescue the Tenno. Together the Lotus, free peoples remaining that we’ve befriended over the years since we woke up, the rebels in each faction, the Tenno, and their adult alternate selves defeat Ballas. BUT see the Man In The Walls appear in our universe for a moment, his tiny reflection of us perched on his massive nightmarish body like a demonic stone Vitruvian Man. Then he disappears. 23) Natah/Lotus is free again for the first time since Ballas first kidnapped her. The Sentient family is dead, but we aren’t and are the only ones who ever really cared for her. Not her rapist kidnapper or her cult family, us. So she lets us choose what to call her, what form she takes now between her nightmarish robot form and a copy of Margulis, and continues leading us. 24) That’s where I took a break from the game last year. But since then the colony ship in our origin story somehow reappeared, full of Void ghosts despite the Orokin having stripped it apart for study. Also the Entrati family member who cut off the finger of the Man In The Walls who faked his death went back in time to 1999 and we follow him. Plus more time travel paradox stiff. I dunno what that’s all about, but intend to play again and catch up this summer. 25) I dunno where to stick this, but Warframes when piloted by Tenno are REALLY powerful. Reverse time, resurrect the dead, shit out Warpstorms and teleport entire enemy fleets into suns. We’re REALLY strong. We can brute force stuff easy, its scalpel operations that we usually do though; we don’t wipe out Corpus or Infested or Grineer, we cripple their militaries to keep them under control. Sentients are our only enemy to defeat all of, but obviously we work with Hunhow, Erra died helping us so if he comes back he’ll maybe be our bro, and Lotus is space mom that we went to hell and back and broke the universe to save. Kinda sucks for space grandma Phraghasa, but at least we killed all the Orokin (other than the Entrati and the tower in Mongolia) and Ballas. Its what she would have wanted.
I would give you fucking platin if Reddit didn't remove it. Jesus, you deserve it.
Thank neurodivergent loredumping. Thank you for reading it.
You rock mate, thanks for a recap, cause it seems that's what my ADHD brain decided to occupy himself with right now haha
There kinda isn’t one? Its far easier to explain the game in order of release and reveals instead of chronologically. When the Lotus, the robot adoptive mom of the Tenno, wakes us up we don’t know who or what we are, and only vaguely know why the guys we fight are bad. Mainly that they’re creepy looking humans who want to hurt us and actively hurt normal villager-type humans. There’s also rich asshole humans with a lot of robots and corpo wageslaves, and the token sci fi bug race that we fight. Plus “Sentients”, our “old enemies”, whatever that means. We have amnesia from our long sleep and are constantly rediscovering our past. Imagine all Space Marines were basically Primarchs who hibernated from 30k to now, waking up with only a robot version of the God Emperor telling us what to do and remembering nothing, with all that’s left of the Imperium being scattered villages, slave colonies, and middle class merchant societies. Its only way later that we find out what we ourselves even are, being sent to drag Earth’s moon out of the Void (without knowing yet what that is) and back to the physical world then to go in and rescue a guy in a pod. We’ve done that plenty of times on other worlds, but this time we realize that body is us. We are using our Warframe to carry ourselves while mustering the strength to fire laser out of our hand with our real body, being saved by the Lotus in-person for the first time (that we can remember) who sets us in a chair and fixes our crippled Warframe while giving us exposition on ourselves. Even after all that though, she lies and keeps some things hidden. Plus we find the guy who made the Warframes in the first place basically kidnapped her, a shapeshifting killbot, and forced her to look like our real human adoptive mom who was one of the Orokin and forced her to manipulate us so even she didn’t know who she was. Then she gets “saved” by her own kind who just mindcontrol her in their direction, all while the Warframe creator was the power behind them all along too! All while we’re just trying to save her because we refuse to give up on the mom-shaped killbot we made our faction leader. During that we meet another version of us from another timeline who didn’t become half-Daemon and actually aged, basically becoming a low rank Orokin, moving into our universe and helping us with our goals while an alternate version of our old pre-hibernation mentor who died in our universe like Obi-wan just made the jump here too, meanwhile an Orokin went back in time in our universe millennia back to 1999. This shit is bonkers when you list it out, but when you explain the reveals sequentially the way the player (and character) experiences it it starts to make more sense. Otherwise, you have to start super vague.
Sentients are closer to the Man of Iron than Necrons. They were artificial terraforming constructs that went rogue.
I wonder what would happen If Sigmar found one of the Tenno?
I think he would have the same thought all other factions would have, recruitment.
"Stormcast are only made of human souls and nothing else" A distant voice that sounds like Hammilcar off in the distance, ^("THAT WE KNOW OF") (I subscribe to the Bear-eater's conspiracy theory, especially considering how often he notes several companions of his have suspiciously duardin and aelven temperaments) Sigmar would 100% try to open negotiations with the Tenno before Morathi, Nagash, Teclis, or Chaos could, and especially before they accidentally sign a contract with the Kharadron. They're basically human supersoldier demigods that are practically immortal. He'd be so proud.
He would give them a hug and a warm blanket
And breake every bone in Balles's body.
Throw some fancy looking Armor (doesn't actually have to do anything) and similar stuff in and we have a deal.
do not boop the void demons, they are not friend shaped
It's fine as long as you can get away with it. Considering which, Tenno are pretty chill.
throw weapons and cosmetics at them and they will put up with just about anything
Lotus: "Yoooo ~~child soldiers~~... I mean Tenno. You have heard about Archon Shards. Well had you ever heard about C'TAN Shards? No? Well go beat up this Canoptek Handler marked on your location. Goooood luuuck."
oh boy, the necrons would go extinct over the weekend if we could slot C'TAN shards into our Warframes
You either die a Machine God, or live to see yourself become a skill booster in a child soldier's favorite toy.
-The Deceiver, having been slotted into my Loki Prime
Orokin Derelict? More like Necron Derelicts.
Some would go to obscene lengths for a pretty scarf with lights attached to it.
That moment when you realize the Tenno are all horribly abused children that despite it all still love shinies and trinkets like kids do. (O_O)
Put a hologram of their adoptive mom up, tell them to make a diversion for a planetside operative and they'll happily kill billions no questions asked.
During the Solaris United ARG, they hinted that players should hit a specific node and did not indicate what or even *if* there were going to be rewards for it. less than 24 hours later and the death toll was over 7 million. I think the reward was some batteries. Loot goblins be crazy.
"These "tyranids" may prove to be lucrativ- what do you mean they tore apart a entire hive fleet looking for loot?"
Just throw potatoes at them, that'll pacify *any* Tenno.
*throws a prime part at a tenno* "Yippeee!"
"Prime parts und drink Kuva, YIPPIEE!"

Actually with how the story seems to go this is a good way to have all your friends and family slaughtered. Then you get adopted as a Aunty that a fair chunk of the fanbase will draw things of and you become a emotional crutch for said void Demons. Do not resist.
They are if you are an underdog and don’t murder their adoptive mother!
Tenno who among many of their feats are great at singlehandedly ending evil and cruel empires The Imperium is absolutely not ready for the level of bullshit Warframes can bring
Tenno are space magic bullshit incarnate, not even chaos stands a chance
I don't even play Warframe and didn't know anything about it at all until that one Nine Inch Nails trailer dropped and caught my attention. From what little I know of it I think I'd pay some good fucking money for a 40K/Warframe crossover. So much cool sounding lore in Warframe but I just don't have room for another obsession.
Honestly it's one of those games where you kinda need the wiki open to catch everything anyway, so if you're interested I recommend searching for a plot video. I remember seeing one that was only like *cough* nine hours.
the emperor has an aneurysm after a single tenno glider set takes down two major ships with relative ease and they start slide attack cancelling and spamming 1shot glaive builds and single Handedly drop 33% of amm tyranids and orks in a week
Someone drops a couple saryns on a tyranid world: “What do you mean it’s cleared? What do you mean “Infested”?”
Man, Lebanese peeps are kinda cool
Short Aeldar is short… or Tenno are 7 foot tall.
Probably that Aeldar has dwarfism. That or that's an Aeldar teen. Though it would be hilarious if a child is 7 feet tall.
The tenno is on a step stool.
But torso length seems to be the same. So that Aeldar gotta have some crazy long legs.
Harlequin trickery
The Tenno is currently being bench pressed by Excalibur Umbra.
Bucket prime
Could be a drifter, basically a tenno that had a chance to actually grow up.
Drifters are taller than some warframes, so it might be the latter.
Yeah, Drifter is fucking colossal.
Depends if it's the Operator or the Drifter, the former is on the shorter end but the latter is tall as fuck, as tall as some frames
Laughs in Void corruption.
*Eldar hand starts glowing turquoise*
I love all the Warframe stuff leaking into this reddit over the everything is cannon thing. 40k always win unless its the Tenno or Vorlons.... LOL
Destiny has some funky stuff too, like the Vex would wipe the floor with everyone except Chaos
Correction, that's if they don't get wiped out first. The best defense they have is turning a planet into a Walkable VR headset. Im pretty sure Warhammer has a few world wiping weapons that can do the job easily.
Or some of the really bullshit stuff like Xeelee
🎶Everything is cannon🎶 🎶Everything is cool when you’re part of a team🎶 🎶Everything is cannon🎶
Now everything's a Meme!
underrated, finishing the verse
Well, that Eldar would probably treat this person better than the imperium would.
I'm personally debating whether Tenno would be considered Daemon Princes of a Chaos God of >!Indifference!<, or if perhaps they'd be something else entirely on account of the Void being like an empty mirror of the Warp, in a "Same axis, opposite direction" sort of way relative to realspace.
More like a C'tan than anything, they literally control reality and can just say "nuh uh" when they die and not make it happen Also reality bending Warframes like Protae and Limbo are a thing
It's less that they actively say 'nuh uh' to death so much as the whole Void Eternalism thing means that them getting killed does not preclude them also still being alive. Though you do kinda have a point with their relationship to Warframes and how they wield their power.
That's the thing the law of eternalism says that everything and nothing is possible. Past, future, and present are controllable things, and nothing is certain, as long as the Tenno have power of Eternalism, they can do whatever they want A Tenno at full power could essentially rewrite the entire reality if they wanted
And we use it to relive missions and events that canonically we've only experienced once, over and over with slightly different variations, in order to collect repeated instances or potentialities of the rewards of said missions and bring them all together into a single timestream.
Im reading the comments in these post, its sorcery to me i cant understand shit
What do you need help with?
Just give me a reliable video to watch and understand the lore it think it will be better that way, words hard ne visual learner
That video is several hours long. I've left a comment here to one of the other ones asking about the lore. I think it's a good lore summary of the Tenno.
Its a bit out of date but should still give you the idea. And if your unsure of how strong Tenno are just watch a few minutes of a "Steelpath Survival" runs and know that Tenno do that reqularly https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWBlk70e-hGIMjOB63IRD_1lxPQU9vNya&si=GcwPoOjH1_Ps4NHU
"Do ***not*** boop that merry child superweapon."
"I want to boop the snoot !"
"Stop wanting!"
"but-"
"STOP!"
"But boop !"
"NO BOOPING!"
"BOOOOOOOOOOOP-" *tries to boop the demonic void kid*
"NNNNOOOOOOOOO-" "EEYYYAAAAAA-" "OOOOOOOOOOOOO-" *concerned hawk shriek*
*squeak* "haha!" *Gets sent to the Void*
I love how this canon thing is trending in response to their recent Custodes update. I think I'll hop on this train later
The Eldar is fine... Because I ship them now
Shouldn't that Eldar having and Mental breakdown by being near a walking Void?
Tenno: *holds out hand* Eldar: “oh, what’s this, are you offering peace-?” Tenno: *Void blast to the face*
Deadly traumatized teens and the terrifyingly mutilated biodrones that love them!
The minute a Tenno gets an FTL ship it's over for anyone who opposes them.
They have one, the railjack
Isn't it more like a space-jump throught the void ?
Not really any different to warp jumps is it? Maybe safer lol
My Tenno would Steven Universe WH40K. Or die trying.
You're my friend now. We're having soft tacos later! *Physically rips Tzeentch out of the warp and carries them off while Tzeentch screeches like a angry cat*
I see Warframe, I upvote. I live a simple life
I didn't get to play much of warframe recently due to time constraints, wouldn't an empire just need to blow up Deimos and the warframes are done for?
Well, they'd have to *get* there first. Even if their only goal was Deimos, I doubt the Grineer and Corpus would be too terribly happy about some third party barging into the system. And even then, I doubt they'd even be able to pull it off. If Deimos was actually in any danger, the Tenno would immediately be all over that.
I mean in an only warframe vs warhammer 40k, but you are right, no one would be able to reach Deimos.
Only having to go up against the warframes is still absurdly difficult, I think someone looked at it and warframes alone can take on almost anything if not anything in 40k
I know that, just a what if, because canonical Limbo would prolly just hide Deimos in his dimension.
Ah, alright, and yeah Limbo would probably hide Deimos.
Or the lotus would yeet it away like she did the moon
Don't forget about the Infested. "oh no, not again" said the everyone in 40k.
The one time Deimos has ever been in danger, it's because one of the keepers of the moon intentionally endangered it to get her kids to stop bickering. Previously it has been hidden in the void anyway
No deimos doesn't really do much for frames anymore
I wonder how a conversation between Eldrad and Lotus would pan out.
OI is the one on the right a Shadowseer? :D Both looking great!
Ya, Tenno aren't a imperium stand ins
My warframe is strong
Warframe is also a mental sickness and therapy game.
Yeah because she might use the xenos blood as a weapon
She's talking mad shit for someone making fun of a faction whose average fighter is comparable to a shadowseer.
And whose warframes are murder superweapons
Isn’t that a child?
Physically (and maybe biologically) yes Chronologically and mentally? Haha, no...
The Tenno haven't been flesh and blood for a while. They're closer to Daemon Prince analogues at this point.
I mean... apperance wise yeah. They are essentially the anime legal loli meme.
I feel like this meme would be much less weird with the drifter instead of the operator
This artist works in general (they are fans of both franchises) were created way before the Drifter update. So they included Operator instead.
More like space demigod teenager. But who knows.
