yeah but at the end of the day you fire on your own men the moment they come back from the fight they will kill you

why do you think actual medieval wars didnt have commanders firing on their units to kill enemies as well with arrow barrages

All Inquisitors are allowed to know about the Grey Knights. There might be Inquisitors that don't know about the Grey Knights because knowledge about them has nothing to do with their job and nobody ever bothered to tell them about the Grey Knights, but since Inquisitors have clearance on top secret information in the Imperium all they would have to do to get information on the Grey Knights is request it and it'll be handed to them at a moment's notice.

plush mason wtf are those guns they have?

Lasguns

#

Marines in rt had a chance of taking lasguns or autoguns instead of bolters

#

Squad generation was done via random tables, it was weird

#

Likewise eldar had a chance of taking bolters instead of shuriken catapults

#

Though bolters were characterized in rt as simply "guns that fire big bullets that either explode or have armor piercing capabilities"

Yep

#

it sounds more like alpha legion copium than anything else

#

I wouldnt mind it as much if the Alpha Legion ever helped the Imperium but they never have so its a bit hard to really buy

If GW does decide to do something like this, then they'll definitely retconn some Alpha Legion Ops where they help the Imperium

#

You know they will

#

They'll 'suddenly come to light' as the Alpha Legion explains it's Master Plan

#

And honestly, if AL did help an Imperial world, do you think that world is gonna say shit? That's an easy way to get labeled a Traitor World

#

Hell, GW could probably use all of the AL fanboys who run that legion and do 'good' things out of the belief that AL is actually deep cover to justify that

vapid tiger Jun 25, 2022, 3:37 PM

#

Alpha legion are just pure chaos who are totally disorganized post-heresy

They're just fans of subterfuge

CSMs experience mutations that reflect their nature, like a marine that's obsessed with death having their head and helmet fuse into the shape of an armored skull.

Regarding that age-old debate about whether the Imperium is causing its own problems: Because the Imperium is so restrictive and oppressive, there is a festering sentiment of rebellion on just about every civilized world in the Imperium, and this is a breeding ground for Chaos and heresy. The persecution of mutants in particular often drives them to Chaos.

Due to the Black Legion's diverse and flexible forces, their wide range of skills and experience can help them win campaigns that would take other legions and warbands twice the numbers to complete.

The Alpha Legion is the one traitor legion known to make the most use of cultists as infiltrators and instigators in the Imperium, and they're very well trained. On a planet called Huranos in Imperium Nihilus, dozens of lone cultist agents with subdermal electoos conducted a highly successful campaign of commando raids against imperial facilities using surprisingly impressive tactical skill.

The first point is funny, i prefer my own made right now headcanon (eh) where they are just invidious of the skull helmet of loyalist chaplains and wanted one

#

The second point is plain in front of everyone, and it is indeed, as Zher said, a shame that have to be written down for people to get it

#

Alpha legion stuff is also extremely interesting, it kinda point more the the theories of alpha legion not being chaos corrupted and more an independent variable that is simply following its plans instead of being affiliate with chaos

It's just as likely the Administratum keeps track of such strains of mutants, or at least the ones that they deem to be useful to the Imperium. Or local sector Administratum offices have notaries on such. Also conceivable that specific strains may be kept the way they are for whatever suited environment they're on for a particular region.

There are likely untracked mutant strains of dog out there, but that wouldn't have stopped people from keeping the more regular forms of dogs.

Eh kinda

#

humanity is all practically the same

#

literally the only difference is space wizards/abhumans

#

The only lore bit from a semi-official source that directly compared 40k humans and 21st century humans is the Wrath and Glory core book, which states in a sidebar on page 121 that the average human in 40k is below average to a modern human due to a combination of malnutrition, lack of a proper work/rest cycle, and uncorrected ailments arising from backbreaking physical labour and lack of proper medical treatment.

The average 40k human of course lives in a hive sump so that doesn’t account for people who do get proper nutrition and medical treatment. It does imply that they’re not particularly different from modern humans though, since they suffer the same effects on their physiology based on environmental factors as we do.

woven sandal Jun 28, 2022, 9:37 AM

I mean, how much did humans change over the last 40k years? Obviously, the more extreme worlds out there would probably force more extreme changes in the human population, but it's not unreasonable to have normal ass humans 40k years in the future.

How have we changed since our species first appeared?

Physical and genetic changes have occurred within our species and will continue to occur at a basic level as new genes evolve. However, these changes may not be as dramatic as they were in the past as the situation today does not favour the evolution of a new human species.

Sigismund (variants: Sigmund, Siegmund) is a German proper name, meaning "protection through victory", from Old High German sigu "victory" + munt "hand, protection". Tacitus latinises it Segimundus.

Lore of the Votann – The Anatomy of the Kin - Warhammer Community

Get acquainted with the Leagues of Votann

#

https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/lOPbSa8z858zKADv.jpg

#

While the Leagues were unveiled in April this year, they trace their lineage back to the game’s early days, as well as occasionally popping up on the ravaged planet of Necromunda, where their cousins, the Ironhead Squat Prospectors, can be found searching for riches under its irradiated crust.

The first thing you might notice is that they look a little squat compared to many other races in the galaxy. Measuring up at around 4ft (1.4m) on average, Kin are miniscule compared to the warriors of the Adeptus Astartes, but they can pack almost as much of a punch.

#

https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/LQMs0Yanx6xanRZe.jpg

#

Inside that diminutive frame is the stout heart of a fighter who is afraid of no foe – be they fellow mortals or eldritch horrors. The Kin answer the rallying call to battle whenever, and wherever, they are required.

Armour and Wargear
As we’ve alluded to before, the Kin also happen to be sitting on a closely guarded network of (more-or-less) functioning STCs.

The Leagues may move slowly, but they’re not stuck in a technological rut, unlike some factions we could mention. Their engineers – called Brôkhyrs – command the auto-foundries of each Kinhold from their personal A.N-vyl terminals. But what are they forging?

We know the Leagues have technology far outclassing much of that of the Imperium, and Void Armour is a prime example of this. While the Power Armour of the Adeptus Astartes is always evolving, and may be considered the peak of Imperial body protection, the Kin’s Void Armour takes personal defence to another level.

Void armour comprises hardened, jointed segments which are hooked into the void suit beneath. It is fashioned from magnaferrite weave, and often reinforced with adamantine and enhanced with microfield generators – providing the ultimate protection for these doughty warriors.

Culture in general is incredibly important to the Leagues, and much like the requirement for Imperial Knight pilots to honour their ancestors, Kin are also acutely aware that the Ancestors are Always Watching, a phrase which is used as a blessing, battlecry, and warning interchangeably.

The rugged survivalist culture of the Leagues of Votaan has bred a long-lived, hardy, and self-sufficient race. In order to truly honour the Ancestors, every member of a Hold must also endeavour to live a full life, discovering as much as they can and offering their learned experience to the Votann. This thirst for knowledge has led the Kin to launch countless exploratory and prospecting fleets into the wider galaxy – and even fight as mercenaries in other species’ wars!
