For reasons unrelated to the dispute

Tzeentch's primary color is blue.
Ironically, it's often a color associated with trust and loyalty. Along with stability and intelligence as well.
Slaanesh's is purple, commonly associated with royalty, spirituality, and imagination. This is also shown with how they're called Prince/Princess and the constant art themes.
Green is a color of nature, harmony, and health. It's why most healing stuff in games are either red or green.
Red is a color of energy, passion and intimacy. It is biologically, the first color we notice, because of the color of blood. This is also why it represents danger.
And finally Gold, the color of wealth and success. Commonly associated with prestige, influence, and prosperity.

Technically most of their weapons are force weapons
You need Psyker powers to be able to even use them
They literally have no trigger for the guns because of that

Force weapons don't have trigger.

Of course Deldar lost their Psyker powers so their guns have triggers and shit.

It is the psyker channeling the power at their will.

Yeah a lot of force weapons are Aeldari made
Although there are definitely some made in the Imperium

Eldar has peak force weapons, necrons have peak power weapons.
The other factions are in between.

I think in terms of military capabilities, yeah it's true.
Although again, I'm not sure how much of it is actual advancement or just
The difference in terms of caring about their soldiers lives.
Although, I definitely think the Imperium is more advanced in Medicine ironically enough
And also biological enhancement
dapper gyro
Pre imperium humans are pretty up there.
opaque coyote
Also let's be fair here
The Mechanicus has most of the good shit
The Imperium gets the scraps
Not even including archaeotech, the Mechanicus just hordes the higher quality stuff in general
dapper gyro
Though, at their peak, Necron = Eldar for power vs psychic, then human (pre imperium+ Votann), then others.
opaque coyote
Their average soldiers get fancy guns with electrified servitor bullets.
The average Imperial Guard gets the fucking flashlight
opaque coyote
also the tau civilians get decent conditions
Yeah in general, the T'au are more sensible
crystal forum
that's mostly because the imperium is so comedically evil by comparison
opaque coyote
Which I think it's hard to say they're more advanced.
Because how much of it is the Imperium just not caring to make it more safe.
Like the Pulse vs Plasma gun
I think the Imperium Plasma Gun is more damaging (do not quote me on this).
It's just that it also has a higher rate of malfunction
...
And usually that malfunction causes the user to melt
Meanwhile the Pulse rifles are less damaging, but still extremely deadly.
And more importantly, have much less of a chance to explode in your face
lament shoal
If your plasma weapon explodes in your face, skill issue
Recite the correct prayers to its machine spirit next time
young pecan
Aren't plasma guns perfectly reliable if you don't overuse them and if they're in good condition?
Or is there always chance of exploding

Or is there always chance of exploding
tabletop wise it's only when overcharged that they have a chance to explode. in lore they're just unstable
modern plasma is actually more stable than older
but it comes at less power
arctic talon

Lore wise they have a “stable” point
But lore wise sometimes they cock up and do the heat dump early
Also common misconception plasma guns don’t explode when they overheat
They just vent hot gas all over you as a safety measure to prevent the plasma gun from exploding
A plasma gun exploding is a containment failure
Usually a plasma gun doesn’t kill you when it overheats
It just maims you
Or cripples you for life if you’re weak
lament shoal
I remember in one of the dark angels books a marine has his plasma gun sabotaged by some fellow dark angels because he found out too much about something. He survives but pretty much immediately figures out it was an assassination attempt because he takes good care of his gun and such an incident had never happened before
arctic talon
Yeah plasma guns don’t explode randomly
You don’t have a chance to get horrific 3rd degree burns everytime you shoot it
You only have a chance to get horrific 3rd degree burns with sustained use and not allowing it to properly cool off between shots
opaque coyote
but it comes at less power
I think the pulse rifles work similarly
crystal forum
which is why ogryns cant use any
arctic talon
Pulse rifles are similar to plasma weapons yeah
But tau plasma is “colder”
Aside from larger forms of it
opaque coyote
They're less powerful than the Imperium Plasmas.
But in exchange, they don't vent heat into your face
opaque coyote
Because they actually care about wanting their soldiers back
opaque coyote
Or well surviving more than one battle
lament shoal
I love plasma pistols man, they're so cool
arctic talon
cause horrific burns and electrical scars to the Tau using them
when they overload lol
Ion is arguably the Tau's analogue to plasma
the Tau care about their soldiers marginally more but its not like they don't hand someone "gun that can overload horrifically and maim you"
opaque coyote
Ion is arguably the Tau's analogue to plasma
True, but they're usually saved for usage in battle suits or for elite soldiers.
...and not to give to the poor guardsman on duty in his squad
arctic talon
no they're not

Ion is issued to fire warriors or pathfinders
pathfinders being more absurd as they have insanely light armor
and they use a shoulder mounted varient

pathfinders being more absurd as they have insanely light armor
I swear Pathfinders are the equivalent of scions?
arctic talon
Pathfinders are elite
but they're scouts/infiltrators
they wear light stealth focused armor
this is a fire warrior
Look how the armor completely covers the bodyglove
opaque coyote
but they're scouts/infiltrators
Yeah I think due to them being in mostly enemy lines. They need a weapon to take out any heavily armored just in case
arctic talon
this is a tau pathfinder
note the lack of arm armor and leg armor
and the chestplate being lighter

I thought Hadron was the youngest. She is by far the most human and emotional. I assume admech tend to grow less human with age and modifications. Idk about her rank though. Shes just in charge of the armoury i presume. Kayex also has lines talking about his old age.
But then again. I guess age can have symptoms that manifest in many different ways when we are talking about people that live for hundreds of years.
vagrant fox
They're not very different in the ranking of things
Admech are wildly varied, some keep their emotional bits even at much higher ranks
although i believe artisan class is above enginseer still and that image is just from a fanmade thing
craggy ginkgo
They're not very different in the ranking of things
As far as i know as a Admech player, Technoarcheologists are Generally considered to be higher ranking than most Enginseers, as Enginseers are perceived with a little bit of derision due to being "just" maintainers and fixers rather than inventors or discoverers as the Technoarcheologists are. To be trusted with the role of Technoarcheologist is a big honorable thing, although it is also usually given to tech priests who are more on the socially difficult side to get them away from the forgeworld.
So it creates a really interesting dynamic between Hadron and Kayex. Hadron technically outranks Kayex, however she is working to fix and maintain which is a Enginseers speciality, not a Technoarcheologists, and is forced to rely on Kayex's expertise. It also doesnt help that Kayek is older and could have easily been higher ranking than her, but due to his work for a rogue trader, i suspect his rank climb in Admech has been put on hold, adding more disbalance to the dynamic.

Some positions hold more knowledge than others, and Technoarcheologists often tend to hold much more knowledge of STCs, and other tech secrets that the Admech values versus Enginseers who specialize in repair and maintaining of pretty commonplace if vital tech.
