that happened to abaddon

statistically with how many planets humans control in 40k, there will be at the very minimum one planet that has never heard of the imperium and will outlive the entirety of the events in the setting

oh and guess you could say that Deathrow is somewhat retired or just an odd ball of a space marine

i want a space marine to crash land there and just become at peace with the fact that he doesn't really have to go back to war

Vandoth the Fallen
who knows, maybe he's happy doing what he does
maybe he really is retired
and is choosing to kill hive scum

He works like a Merc for every gang basically
which thanks to his giant size and brute strength he does pretty well

Guys, buckle up.
I have very specific, important lore question:
Can we assume that blood type of Astartes defaults to 0rh-?
celest dome
If humans still have the same blood types
And it would make more sense for them to be AB I'd guess
burnt maple
Exhibit A:
To help with streamlining implant production, application and transplantation.
burnt maple
And it would make more sense for them to be AB I'd guess
But 0rh- is the universal type. Can be applied to ANYBODY.

I'd just assume whatever they do to make blood clot easier makes them able to take any blood

What about giving?
Exhibit B:
celest dome
But 0rh- is the universal type. Can be applied to ANYBODY.
AB is the universal reciever
near wasp
Space Marine blood only goes to space Marines
celest dome
O is the universal giver
burnt maple
There is a lote bit that an apothecary saves a mortal woman by pouring astartes blood from a vial to her wound.
celest dome
Make more sense for it to be the reciever if anything
burnt maple
It does, but the lore bit I show proves otherwise. Still, only astartes stuff can be applied to astartes, so no problem if they all are 0rh-

yeah i forgot they are literally a part of their molds just now lmao
celest dome
I think it depend on what is the "whole"
Potato head isn't all the individual parts
It's the whole
storm jungle
the thing with Potatohead is the entire point of his toy concept IS the fact that he can come apart
celest dome
So would the the mini "toy" be considered with the base or nof
storm jungle
yeah also they are like
arctic talon
lol
arctic talon

"Oh Throne, I lost my legs."

Then one could argue that each part of the body could be it's own entity

STOP SAYING "lol"

I know the argument is slimy
But why is the glued on arm not considered equally like the glued on base

Have they cured cancer in the imperium in 40k
rose thorn
lmao
arctic talon
Have they cured cancer in the imperium in 40k
Yeah but only if you’re rich or willing to lose a lot of flesh
lol
summer mural
Well
arctic talon
For the mechanicus they found the answer to how much of your body needs to be replaced for cancer to not kill you
But if you don’t want that there’s a normal cure
summer mural
It seems like one of the places imperium has actually advanced to in the 41st millennium is like, being able to do stuff to the human body
arctic talon
It’s just $$$ and out of reach for the average person
rose thorn
most of these subfactions almost all directly correlate to a necromunda gang or 2 lmao
summer mural
So I assumed if you got cancer you could go buy a pill and pop it
arctic talon
Well the imperium has mandatory vaccinations
summer mural
And that'll cure it in a week or something
arctic talon
To try to combat the uber horrid sicknesses
rose thorn
oh hey twisted helix
arctic talon
So I assumed if you got cancer you could go buy a pill and pop it
It’s an injected cure
And it’s not elaborated on beyond that
summer mural
Also is the emperors corpse like
An actual skeleton
Or can you see his features or are there like decaying bits of flesh hanging off his nose
arctic talon
It’s a disgusting rotted dessicated fleshy skeleton corpse thingy
summer mural
So he looks like a zombie
arctic talon
According to the SoS
arctic talon
So he looks like a zombie
Less rotted flesh more dried out but yeah
arctic talon
I’d assume so?
summer mural
You know, slap a golden mask on him and get a mortician in there, make him look presentable
arctic talon
The custodes prolly do it
summer mural
But he is alive technically
arctic talon
Yeah
summer mural
Maybe hel twitch or something if someone tries to flex his fingers into a rude gesture
And melt them into puddle
arctic talon
Tbf the SoS and custodes armor after they leave the room
Is like literally scorched black and covered in soot lol
arctic talon
Always
summer mural
I remember
His presence is like reality melting or something
Depending on who you are I guess
summer mural
What do you mean, like a life sized one?
summer mural
There are no sob minis with their helmets?
That's strange
Their helmet is pretty distinct
arctic talon
There are no sob minis with their helmets?
There is but not with the fully enclosed version
summer mural
Ah
arctic talon
It’s got the exposed eyes
Which aren’t a big issue because refractor field
But still
summer mural
They should try getting a callidus assassin to shapeshift into the emperor in his prime
And walk around the streets
Itl be good for morale 
Or into a primarch for that matter
summer mural
Why would they
They can shapeshift into any person can't they
Height weight gender size doesn't matter afaik
Or outfit
arctic talon
There’s an upper limit for size generally
arctic talon
Mmmmm
Drugs
There’s also issues with cybernetics and turning into like, weirder things
Orks, eldar, tau are pretty doable
But stuff with exo skeletons aren’t
summer mural
It's even funnier how they can like...replicate the bits and bobs that are attached to your outfit
summer mural
Oh that's true, I forgot they steal it
arctic talon
Or they get something basically exact
summer mural
Yeah
Still, if you turn into a space marine sized emperor
It's still good for morale
arctic talon
Is that fucking exodus
spring cairn
are they doing skins for the csm that are mp only now ?
arctic talon
They’re free but yeah

I don’t think it’s the rifle
It just looks weirdly like exodus lol

Do people forget that the Inquisition have means to test GSC now ?

Apparently they do forget
celest dome
Like it would be strange that the local Inquisition didn't

Do you think he'd let me pull his hood down to check
He’d let you feel his forehead through the hood lol
celest dome
More so when they've previously faced GSC not so long ago
arctic talon
No bump and ridges not a hybrid
If someone’s kissed its harder to detect but it’s still doable
celest dome
"Kissed" don't look any different from before
summer mural
I do hope he at least carries a weapon somewhere in that outfit
celest dome
Honestly would have prefered him having a Auto-Pistol or a Reolver
summer mural
Are there admech that have actually managed to become like..100% machine
summer mural
Let's say , have they replaced all external flesh, all internal organs except the brain
arctic talon
Yes
summer mural
And count as tech preists and not servitors
arctic talon
Yeah
near wasp
The fabricator general
celest dome
Does Cawl
near wasp
Not the current one the one who died during the opening of the great rift
summer mural
So if it's possible to replace everything except the brain, why do tech preists go about it slowly, they've got the tech and surgical skills to have most of them be able to be like that right
near wasp
So if it's possible to replace everything except the brain, why do tech preists ...
Supplies
Augments are expensive
arctic talon
So if it's possible to replace everything except the brain, why do tech preists ...
Supplies, they want the best stuff
Tech priests also don’t always want
To replace everything
Some only replace what’s injured, ect.
near wasp
Some see flesh as the greatest machine
summer mural
Well, supplies is valid, but I imagine like, you can probably find a cybernetic arm for your last couple of limbs on mars
near wasp
He's attached to it
summer mural
near wasp
Ok ok I'll leave
tough haven
So if it's possible to replace everything except the brain, why do tech preists ...
Ritual, is another factor
near wasp
You guys think primis is cawls bio son
summer mural
Do admech hate psyker stuff, like do they look down on warp magic as a rule
Since they don't have psykers
Of their own
celest dome
They see it as too risky,
near wasp
They probably just donate psykers to the black ships or kill them
celest dome
But it's more so that all Psyker are sent to the Psykana, and that Augments aren't something that Psyker often can do
There are some Magos that study it
near wasp
Psyker augments have to be specificly made for psykers like psi baffles
arctic talon
Do admech hate psyker stuff, like do they look down on warp magic as a rule
It’s seen as risky and also the treaty of mars dictates the mechanicus hands over all psykers to the telepathica
summer mural
Ah the treaty
arctic talon
Funny ass auto correct
near wasp
Abomination intelligence
arctic talon
But yeah the mechanicus has 0 issues with psychic powers
Beyond the normal like
Issues people have
summer mural
Yeah the general discrimination
arctic talon
Also psychic awakening has made Psyker priests and skitarii
Funnily enough
The mechanicus has decided not to hand these people over
Because the treaty of mars says born psykers
summer mural
I'm sure some tech priest somewhere got their hands on a psyker somewhere and tried making them into a special skitarius
near wasp
It's not legal
summer mural
arctic talon
Like they keep him in a lead lined box
Until they drop him into a battlefield
Via a drop pod
And then he just causes horrific radiological damage and generally horrific mental harm
To anyone that sees him
celest dome
I wonder if we could see art or minis of one
arctic talon
The dude is absolutely an uncontrolled Psyker
But he believes he’s just suffused with the holy light of the omnissiah
So sticking him in a lead lined box with a psi stiffiler is enough to stop the worst of the effects
summer mural
Well, I find the literal tech that interacts with the warp interesting , like force swords and nemesis gear, or a shield that blocks you from psychic attack
summer mural
Yeah
arctic talon
But they don’t use it generally since they’re not psykers
summer mural
It's mostly common
arctic talon
except for the devices that work off of ambient warp energy or other sources of power
But those are super heretical and obviously don’t exist
celest dome
Deimos stuff is the rarest stuff we have in game in theory
arctic talon
Yeah since its heavily limited export wise
near wasp
It's a astroid that's 13 miles across
arctic talon
though mars can produce deimos pattern equipment as well
arctic talon
It's a astroid that's 13 miles across
it got bigger
summer mural
Because that gear is elite, and also grey knights tend to have like always pristine equipment
arctic talon
Its more of a space station then asteroid now
near wasp
Fair
arctic talon
Deimos was a slaved forgeworld to Mars till Malc stole it
lol
nowdays they have a chip on their shoulder because they're not a major forgeworld and never can become one due to how limited their exported equipment is
and the fact mars can produce their patterns of equipment
summer mural
Malcador making new secret orders with wide authority faster than ferrus loses his head
summer mural
Is that a vanguard
arctic talon
Yeah
celest dome
I think Deimos should get some special rules where they get some Warp sensitive Skitarii with Force melee weapons
celest dome
If they were to get Warp sensitive ones sure
summer mural
Electro preists are kinda warpy in their design and function, even if they aren't like, psykers I guess

regular radiation gives you radiation sickness and burns
arctic talon
Some skitarii ask the guardsmen they fight along side if they would like to receive “mercy” from the gifts
lol
summer mural
arctic talon
Which just means would you like us to kill you before you die of horrific cancer
winged jacinth
yeah radiation in 40k only mutates you in the realistic sense
in that it mutates individual cells and that doesnt matter unless the mutation is cancerous
arctic talon
The only thing that’s kind of silly is the cut off point for radiation being lethal to the mechanicus
left talon
Which just means would you like us to kill you before you die of horrific cancer
Yo dude ya wanna die of cancer or get shot by a plasma gun

All right then I will keep that in mind

But once skitarii and priests are past the crux, they don’t need to worry about radiation anymore
For
Some reason
It’s why veteran skitarii vanguard exist
winged jacinth
thats so funny and absolute nonsense
arctic talon
thats so funny and absolute nonsense
I agree
summer mural
thats so funny and absolute nonsense
The light of the omnissiah is a wondrous thing
arctic talon
Also all mechanicus armor is lead lined, fully sealed and designed to deal with radiological hazards lol
Which is fucking hilarious
queen laurel
But once skitarii and priests are past the crux, they don’t need to worry about ...
For them to be completely mean to radiation they need to be complete metal like necrons
Honestly this is Warhammer at this point I just file it in for nonsense
left talon
But once skitarii and priests are past the crux, they don’t need to worry about ...
If it works it works
winged jacinth
they could have said that like, some mechanicus are basically stripped down to a few heavily shielded organic parts and they're good with radiation but 50%??

Skitarii armor is weird, it recycles sweat and bodily waste to turn into a salve lol
Thats an additional protective layer

I distinctly remember an incident in the 1990s LA riots.
An officer told a marine to cover him
Obviously in police lingo that's "watch my back'
In Marine lingo it's "suppressive fire"
So the Marine fucking put 1000 bullets through that door
The funniest part is that somehow nobody died in that fuck up
The unfunny part is that actual children were in the apartment and they easily could've gotten gored.

No military unit should ever be working with like...cops and shit on home soil for that reason, the mindset is meant to be different

Basically he was called in to respond to a check in.
He found a black guy with a gun. Mader asked the guy to put the weapon down, but the guy refused and just yelled at him to shoot him.
It was him trying to do suicide by cop. Mader instead tried to talk him down. Backup arrived, and within like a minute, shot the black guy with the gun.
The gun had no bullets loaded in it btw.
And then Mader got fired for not shooting the guy in the first place.
