TQ: Probably Rad based weapons. I imagine the Rad cleansers that mechanicus are fond of would have their meaner and larger counterparts to be borne by marine vehicles early on in the crusade. Think Rad missle Launchers but on steroids.
For in game terms, I could imagine something like Rad Shells for the kratos being Heavy 1 R24" S4, AP-2, Fleshbane, Blast 5" , Gets hot.

Probably Warp-based weapons, Vortex weapons, other DaoT tech that the mechanicus would've oiled their robes over like physics defying weapons, tons of archaeotech, probably some large amount of darklight weapons, a few AI's to throw around, probably proto-daemon engines, chrono-weapons, etc...

There were some real neat ideas for this somewhere once. Dunno if it was Bligh's notes that got talked about on a FW open day, or that it was in Angels of Caliban. Vortex shells for vindicators was one of them, which already sounds pretty cool. Imagine having a misfire and the shell activating inside the barrel whilst you're inside the tank lmao

The Eighth sleeper, the Argesine formula and the Sarcosan Wave.
Horrors of the Old Night that are as scary as they are undefined, that would make the Armatos Necroteknica blush and sweat.
All of that buried under scores of paired bolt pistols, the true war crime guns.

The thing is, people associate that certain chitinous armour with tyranids, so even when you put it on a 30k model people will be reminded of tyranids. If you make it look different enough it can still work.

Eldar aspect warriors were around, have shown up in HH novels, and it's been canon for a long time now that it was aspect warriors that attempted to assassinate baby Angron because a farseer divined what he would become.
Orks have always been orks.

There were Orks, there were Eldar, 10k years is a rounding error for necrons, and the "kraken egg" that Leman Russ owned opens in 40k and genestealers come out of it.

The terran marines often did it, especialy pre primarchs. NL did post being rejoined with their primarch too. Esoterists and WB would wear anything that strenghtens their link to the warp or lets them control it better, which included stuff like skulls and bones of psycho sensetive races like orcs or necron.

Also tyranid scout races were within the our galaxy at the time of the crusade.

I think a lot of it would be weapons that lack the precision of guns or missiles. Rad weapons, massive neutron producing bombs that turn the landscape and people radioactive, graviton weapons that create semi-permanent effects, vortex and warp based weapons, bioweapons or nanites that can lay dormant for years and then strip a person to the bone in minutes when disturbed, rapidly evolving or learning weapons be they microscopic organisms or terrifying monsters, stasis weapons that disrupt the local flow of time and potentially leave pockets of distorted time that become dangers for years to come, all that kind of good stuff.

I think that in terms of infantry level weapons we’d see big powerful arc weapons (more advanced lightning guns) that chain from surface to surface and are really bad to fire in close quarters. Maybe more stuff along the volkite idea with needle guns that deliver bacteria that induce fission in the target’s body so they swell up and burst like a balloon while covering their friends in armour meltingly hot good that’s also radioactive. We could also see more advanced versions of what the DA have - field projectors that spit out rays that resonate with nerve cells and cause them to rupture and die as the target drops to the ground unable to control their own body. Perhaps smaller versions of the null-based weapons like the sinistratum tenebrae that cause no apparent physical harm but cause warriors to slump to the ground as though the life has simply been plucked out of them. We’d definitely see stasis grenades and shells, there’s several references to them and the effects they have on those unfortunate enough to get hit by them.

Besides all that, I think there would also be a lot of use of weapons that have long term deadly or debilitating effects - weapons not designed for a combat advantage, but for extermination.

I imagine it’s stuff similar to some hinted at weapons from another series, Project Moon. In that setting, corporations have giant wars over districts and use technology normally used for profit as unconventional but debately more dangerous and fucked up weapons, so much so that everyone involved in these mini wars have to be mind wiped after to forget how terrible they were. Some stuff I imagine going with this line of thinking is
>Bombs that reverse or increase aging rapidly to the point someone can turn into a literal fetus or a dried out husk in the blink of an eye
>Guns that liquify people but keep them alive so they’re just a sentient puddle of guts, eyes and teeth
>Mines that explode and keep people frozen in time in a locked ‘stasis bubble’ forever
>Serums that can turn ordinary people into chimera-like monsters with bladed bug appendages and chitinous armour
>Weapons that can be summoned and teleported into one’s possession with just a gesture of the hand
>Brainwashing and mind wiping grenades that can turn a squad of men into a dazed collective of blubbering retards
Basically weapons that, while maybe not more dangerous than conventional weapons, are considered so cruel or so inhumane that their use is collectively frowned upon because it’d paint the imperium in a bad light if they used them en masse or tried to replicate the technology.
>>
>>92729856

99% sure that DA have weapons that do pretty much exactly that.
Also have some vague recollection of mindwipe grenades, though that might have been grey knights/inguisition weapons.

On a semi related note, talking about and coming up with "forbidden weapons" gives me an idea for an Onslaught campaign
>come up with a whole bunch of re-usable campaign stratagems that are forbidden weapons that have different special effects
>first game of the Onslaught campaign is a mandatory Zone Mortalis game where you're raiding a weapons cache to try and secure as many of the weapons before the enemy can
>Each secured objective in the Zone Mortalis game means you get to roll a dice once at the end of the game to see what forbidden weapon campaign stratagems you ended up securing
>After that ZM game you play the Onslaught campaign as usual in a standard HH style play but just with a stock of re-usable campaign stratagems
>>92729962
>99% sure that DA have weapons that do pretty much exactly that.
They do yeah, which is part of the reason I brought it up. Everyone knows how willing the DA are when it comes to using warcrime weapons
>Also have some vague recollection of mindwipe grenades, though that might have been grey knights/inguisition weapons.
I think it's a 40k thing yeah, but I can easily imagine lots of weapons that are used in 40k times being more strictly controlled and banned during 30k times
>>
>>92729962
DA already have stasis missiles as an option, and the Lion has stasis grenades. Though the current rules for those are incredibly weak and pathetic, it's just concussive 1 iirc. Might as wel take shotguns for cheaper instead.

In 40k DA have more stasis weapons, though I have no idea how many of those still remain with everything being replaced with generic primarshit marines now.

they're like concussive (instead of pinning) frag missiles, so much more likely to score hits with concussive as a bonus effect

the advantage of concussive over pinning is that it continues to apply even in melee (including if that template scatters onto a melee), applies to Fearless units etc, but in the context of eg a missile HSS you could have a mix of frag, krak and stasis missiles in each shooting attack, so you're not losing killing power but you are forcing both Pinning and Concussive (1) tests on those units that have to test for both

a unit which is Pinned and Concussed can't react to the Ravenwing charge and fights at -1WS, which is quite strong for a modestly costed upgrade :)


>>92729962
SW Deathsworn also have stasis bombs, which force a Disordered Charge on enemy units automatically and can be used to put Fleshbane and Gets Hot on all their own melee attacks on any turn that they Charge (even if it is Disordered, because of how the rule is worded)

given that those Deathsworn would also be fighting at WS5 for that round, it makes their rad grenades option only useful for the turns in which they get charged (and for negating the effect of enemy rad grenades), they come stock with power axes and they can still hit once even if they're removed at a higher initiative step, stasis bombs are pretty good for hacking apart monsters because they're Dwarf Slayers

>>92729856
the problem with a lot of esoteric weaponry is that in LI you'd never really see the effect any different to bolters unless it's mounted to a titan (like the big volkites and c-beams, which you are probably never going to see translated to 30k rules for that reason), and in 30k it would just be unfun to play against

the low point of last edition was bringing back RT/2E-style virus bombs, even as an opt-in by-agreement weapon (the "nanyte blaster" in Conquest, p223), even if there were some really fun warcrimes in the same book, like the Salamanders shield

Quad launchers with splinter shells kill 100% of the MEQ they Wound (1/6, also guaranteed to strip a Wound from Veterans), take a wound from 2+/4++ 1/12 of the time, from 2+/5++ 1/9 of the time and 2+/6++ 1/7 (ish), and can do so from behind cover, meaning you can wipe out that pesky lasHSS with impunity. With 5" blast templates only the worst conga lines will evade shrapnel justice.

Vanquisher squadrons with a command tank with a flare shield and cognis-signum take incoming fire at AV15 (and with Armoured Fist, AV15 with a 5++) unless you're getting outflanked, and spit back 2x S9 AP2 Brutal (2) plus lascannons and shit.

Similarly demolisher cannons will kill 2+ armour saves (with a T less than 7) outright about 50% of the time (5/6 to wound plus 3x armour saves at 5/6), before accounting for Rending. They also fuck tanks one HP at a time. Valdors are meant for murdering robots and tanks but will also knock 3WS off an elite melee unit after killing one of them. You can spam Dracosans by simply taking a Demolition Section for a bonus tank squadron that shits out angry bombs at the end.

Troll Callidus assassin in a primary detachment holds up/diverts enemy units indefinitely as long as it makes no attack or charge, allied SoS melee units get in close and destroy enemy Ld values before big guns force Morale checks (they also grant access to nuncio voxes, which your artillery want). If you're getting hammered by tanks consider an Aethon squadron with melta lances and/or HK missiles (Mechanised can fire all its weapons without penalty, like a dreadnought). Infantry? Consider Solar Pattern Cohorts with Hermes squadrons in every Troops Veletaris Tercio for cheap tough volkite calivers.

One big Infantry Tercio may be all you need, it's 70 bodies and In Formation will fuck up between 1/19 and 1/7 (ish) MEQ per shot, making Overwatch and Return Fire a real treat.

Vox interlocks and command voxes are your friends. Companions are tougher than you think.

There's no rules surrounding it or saying the doors have to open so even with the official models I think it's within the rules to just leave the doors closed.

Come to think of it, it's a solid omission from the rules because if the vehicle scatters onto terrain then it is destroyed. so if the doors must all unfurl that drastically limits their placement when deep striking.

I abide by the common headcanon of multiplying all gw numbers by x10. I don’t care how OP marines are in lore, 18 100k-200k strong legions is not enough manpower to conquer a galaxy full of extinction threat tier aliens and DAOT manmade horrors beyond your comprehension. Its also worth noting that IRL 80% of all casualties in war are from artillery and heavy ordnance and most infantry kills come from grenade launchers and medium machine guns, all of which can kill a marine if you sub a modern MG for a tripod heavy bolter

I think you're confused about how the great crusade was conducted. Legions were accompanied by billions of mortal humans. Space marines were the brutal monsters used to scare systems into compliance through hard surgical strikes against leadership. Literally the first chapter of the first book in the heresy series talks about this.

The billions of solar auxila/soldiery that did the job of holding planets barely gets ralled about because it's not as exciting as high risk frontlinr crap.

When marines were forced into pitched battles they did so using massive infantry, tank, navy and titan support.

per Transport Bay they would be Bulky (4) for transport purposes (if they could use it, which they can't), however I think the reasoning here is the same as for Toughness - being on the bike doesn't increase the number of bodies, and in the case of Cavalry introduces an unwieldy machine between you and the melee, so it's going to negate any positive effect by getting in the way of the others in your squadron

a tank is different because a tank is just kind of driving over the enemy, even though in game terms it's effectively static, so they can work with that

you could just houserule it, though I think it's probably intentionally this way for the reasons above

What if the imperium of man discovered a new human world, and in that world humans created a type of super soldier even more powerful than the space marines "both Astartes and Primaris", let's say they are as powerful as the thunder warriors, but without any of the Thunder Warriors' flaws and even with the ability to reproduce and were created to hunt down shit like witches, corruption and beings of chaos and to fight the world's greatest threats? What would the imperium do about it? Would they want to recruit these super soldiers too or would they want to destroy them completely?

Thanks anon, hoping to play it also. While I was at work I came up with 20 weapons/stratagems for players to potentially grab while looting the vault, here's a basic rundown of some stratagems players could get
>Mindwipe Grenades that can remove line from a unit and make them forget all of their combat experience until the end of the game
>Gorespatter Blades, chain weapon variants that use assisted AI to launch the guts and bones of an enemy like a shotgun while chopping into them, giving them extra attacks when they land attacks
>Poisonous xenos worms that have been retrofitted into bolter ammunition that burrow into an enemy's skin and can chew/breach through terminator armour (sometimes the worms might get angry and eat you if the gun jams or misfires though)
>Wearable exo-skeleton apparatus that can turn anyone into a psyker, or enhance the skills of someone who is already a psyker
>An advanced "war general" AI computer that can analyze the battle feed of your men and lets them take both free and multiple reactions
>A special syrum that can turn your characters into hulked out, self reviving and terrifying mutants
>Specially modified Vorax that have been retrofitted with nuclear + phosphex warheads and given really good running legs
>Seeds for an aggressive, carnivorous plant life that can grow in all enviroments and gradually makes the battlefield inhospitable by vomitting out acid everywhere
>A man of Iron that's been dormant since it's capture during the earliest battles of the Great Crusade
>A surplus of Phosphex Grenades so everyone in your army can use them
>Human voodoo dolls that use psyker bullshit to inflict any pain inflicted onto them to anyone around them
Still trying to write basic rules down for all of them plus the ones not mentioned. Hard to decide whether it'd be too unfair to just let people be able to take all wargear and units that can be provided by the stratagem cards for free or if certain ones should cost points and the like.
>>
>>92737143
>with the ability to reproduce

They would be hunted down and exterminated for the incredible dangerous threat that they are. The Emperor didn't built in a natural way to reproduce into space marine and custodes for a very good reason. Traitor marines already decided that they deserved to rule because they were stronger than regular humans, if they also didn't require humans to increase their numbers the traitors would have just decided to replace humanity altogether.
>>
>>92735546
I still don't get why they didn't just use Epic: Armageddon rules. Surely they were at least vaguely aware that there's a decently-sized community of people still playing that 20-odd years after official support was discontinued?

>>92732796

Easier to just take the L and make people buy new stuff than have people complaining about rebasing models and how X or Y shouldn't have been changed from the community rules
>>
>>92737267
What if they reproduce so slowly that you can't even replace their numbers that way or can only reproduce with normal humans?
>>
>>92737368
To be honest, there's a clan in a work of fiction that I've seen that's like that, that's why I'm asking, but if they try to reproduce among themselves they can't even maintain their numbers, it's so difficult to have children that their population would only decrease even if they isolated themselves from the world and didn't go into battle at all, but they can reproduce much more easily if it's with normal humans.
>>
>>92737363
That's one of the logical ones. GW follows moon logic.

I want to add a party bus to my Death Guard / Dark Angels force, and trying to decide between the DG deathshroud or the DA Inner Circle to go in it.
The Deathshroud are 3W and Battle-Hardened, and can be taken as a Retinue to get Line, but with the Tartaros 5++ and Power Scythes. Inner Circle get Plasma Casters which are a bit better than Alchem Pistols, and can get Terranic Greatswords (or Advex-Mors Greatswords) and potentially a more powerful LA trait.

Yeah, my mistake. I thought the Deathwing terminators were just Companions in Cataphractii but checking the pdf they don't have access to the funny shields.

>>92737615
>"Life, uh, finds a way"
I mean, it didn't do it with Astartes, Primaris and Custodes, normally that clan would just go extinct naturally if they tried to survive only by reproducing among themselves and if they reproduced with normal humans they would be hybrids.

I was against Femstodes for that very reason. It opens the possibility of reproduction of immortal individuals.

Marines, even in legion times, weren’t the meat of the imperial forces: they were really just the elite vanguard. The crusade included billions, if not trillions of imperial army and imperialis militia, as well as huge (probably comparable) numbers of servitors and automata. Marines aren’t the ones going out on patrol in disputed territory, they’re the ones barging down the doors of the local government or OPFOR forward bases. In fact, as events are described to us, where marines take the most casualties are when they’re drawn into protracted fights where they can’t win just on shock and awe tactics. Most planetary conquests would be a few thousand marines dropping in and crushing the main points of opposition, and then IA regiments securing those areas while the marines rearm and refit to go after any remaining command and control structure.
>>
>>92738179
Cool headcanon dude but this is /hhg/ not /fanfic/
>>
>>92735588
Honestly, even if you multiply them by 10 their numbers would still be too little even for shock troops, their numbers should at least be around 100 billion to 2 trillion.
>>
>>92736644
That’s like saying the CIA could never destroy Chile because they don’t have enough people.

Small (relatively) numbers of elite forces with tons of supporting arms and logistical support do actually make a big difference in warfare, even in real life - look at the opening months of the invasion of Iraq. No, the opening campaign wasn’t the end of all hostilities, but it effectively removed the entirety of the republican guard’s military and political capabilities. Marines and the style of warfare described in the books is that campaign on steroids, where they basically just walk in and destroy the entire command, communications, and logistical support structure for the OPFOR. If that was all intact then the IA wouldn’t stand a chance on most of these planets. Marines essentially level the playing field so that there aren’t hundreds of years of sieging planets.

Show me marines jobbing around on patrol and I’ll concede. All the crusade era battles we see marines in are short duration pivotal battles over extremely important objectives. The only time they’re ever described in protracted battles are when they’ve fucked up, or been fucked up royally.

Maybe. But also chemically and surgically. Vindicaree may be the most normal ones, while Eversors are like a sneeze away from self detonation.
Culexii are a genetic thing, but even if they got a SoS gf, the pariah gene is really difficult to pass down
>>
>>92738074
marines have organs sewn in but clearly also have their DNA altered as for example they can be cloned (per Beta-Garmon p159, "Cloning, though efficient, quickly reduces the stock produced to stumbling drones all but incapable of independent thought. Such deviancy can produce vast armies, but they are but poor copies of the original.")

yet they don't reproduce sexually, probably because their DNA is a mess, though hybridization in nature even between quite distantly related branches of the same tree (as with sturgeon and paddlefish, sheep and goats, camels and llamas, etc

the problem for marines (and very likely with Custodes, though headcanon that they, and the Emperor, are just varieties of Men of Gold that have forgotten/deliberately obfuscated their own origins, suggests that maybe this is only true of marines, thunder warriors etc) is that they're already the wrong side of Haldane's rule - they are hybrids, produced asexually in laboratories, with humans and a constructed "species" that donates the additional DNA and organs to them

so from there you have the high likelihood that they're sterile to start with (as in, their DNA has been fundamentally altered to take it very far away from human DNA, and this is both intentional to prevent runaway replication/dilution of the breed and easier to leave in as a feature than it would be to remove) and for Custodes particularly, also engineered not to care about sex at all

whereas with eg the Sisters of Silence, you have this very strong bias toward female Anathema (both the Culexus models have been male, so it's not impossible, but it appears those genes pass down more strongly on the female line and are potentially part of the X chromosome itself, making two copies (and thus a stronger effect) in female genetics, but that is, as far as anybody knows, just natural speciation and not an engineered effect as with the custodes, thunder warriors and astartes

>>92735588
I like the x10 tweak to scale as well. I'm just saying marines are resilient enough that most of their casualties are from brutal melee or direct explosion impacts.
Here we see Crysos Morturg survive a direct autocannon hit. Later a Fellblade shoots the ruins he's in and that's what finally stops him.
He still survives, but those attacks would have killed multiple people several times over.

I've been thinking about this, could it be that the reason the emperor didn't make super humans more powerful than the Astartes to be the Space Marines was because he already knew that the Horus heresy or something similar was going to happen and was planning for it, so he didn't make Space Marines more powerful so that the traitor space marines wouldn't be more powerful than that either?
To me he seemed to have the ability to make super humans more powerful than the Astartes to be the Space Marines, but he apparently already knew that betrayal was going to happen, he knew that it was inevitable for some reason and so he planned for it.
Or maybe he simply didn't want to make the Space Marines more powerful than that because he didn't consider it a good thing for his plans.What do you think?

>>92737904
Inner Circle can be Deathwing, but note that RAW the Broken Claws' Brutal greatswords don't benefit from the Deathwing rule.
>>
>>92738633
It was most likely a logistics and resources influenced decision. Meaning astartes are just strong enough to get the job done, but can be mass-produced easily enough to create a galaxy conquering force within a reasonable timeframe whilst also replacing losses.

Because when it comes down to it, wars aren't won on battle prowess or strategic genius, only battles are. Wars a won by logistics and economics.

if you can get 20 in a spartan you could get 30 into a five door falchion, plus a double punisher/choom turret

The CIA destroys governments by arming local rebels, meaning they do actually have enough people and resources.
Space marines instead trust their own strenght, smashing the place so hard no brick upon brick is left. I'm not sure how to explain the differences between an Eversor and a Space Marine attack other than just saying "the space marines don't explode upon death".
It's just as violent and unstoppable.

What I've got so far. Everything's in a tank, which I wanted, but I'm not sure about the DG HS choices. That's where the theme feels weakest.

>>92738606
Where are these mentioned in crusade fleets though? We’re not talking about heresy era, we’re talking about crusade expiditionary fleets. I don’t remember IF, IW, or DG (or any other legion for that matter) described as having garrisons on hostile worlds without (actually, even with) massive IA and mechanicum support. There’s lots about their ability to build and maintain fortifications, but nothing that I can recall where it’s just a pile of marines with nothing else for support sitting around in a war zone (unless we’re back to one of these situations where they’ve fucked up seriously).

I think the vast majority of marine combat has them exactly as the heavy shock troops that they’re meant to be.
>>
Tbh using space marines as garrison troops feels like a waste. I mean the IW were ordered to do so multiple times, but the point was that it was a waste and indeed most of those orders was Horus manipulating them.

I think IW, DG and WE are "attrition" in the form that they kill every single enemy, as opposed to only the critical components of an enemy force.
As in, there's no one left to surrender to them because they leave none alive.

Honestly, with the numbers officially assigned to them they shouldn't be able to have any importance for the imperium of man even as an elite force even if their numbers were multiplied by 10. Considering the scale of the imperium and the galaxy, the number of space marines should at least be somewhere between 100 billion and 4 trillion to be believable for them to be able to have the importance and impact attributed to them even as an Elite force rather than the main one.

The infantry models are worse than 3rd party knockoffs or resin 3d prints, and a lot of HH stuff doesn't have a great equivalent in Epic. Plus, it's only Marines and not-IG. The rules are also completely different, and the reason EA still has a community is because people like *those* rules.

Lascannons in 1.0 were just a little too costly in points. So in their typical knee-jerk fashion, the rules writers at GW decided to both lower the points cost lascannons in addition to buffing their rules. Then tripled down by not considering that Return Fire was also a thing they did.

>>92742691
That comes later. Just because WE tend to abandon their wargear to get stuck in right and proper if a battle dragged on long enough doesn't mean they stopped being space marines you know. They still knew their way around a lascannon or a land raider.

I’ll give you that they were expensive, but they felt reasonably powerful for the cost - they were a dedicated long range anti-tank weapon, not a Swiss Army knife for killing anything. Hell, with the number of two wound T4 models they got a big buff just on that.

Did you know that space marines weren't really created by the emprah but by the Selenar, an ancient cult of man-hating Cybele worshipers that turned into quasi-heretek gene-witches?
When it comes to genetic engineering the emprah was like a child before those matrons, but of course these wise and enlightened wymen had no interest in creating hypermasculine supersoldiers who they knew would set the galaxy aflame due to their fragile egos and womb-envy and daddy issues.
So he had to conquer Luna and force his patriarchal yoke upon them. But in a last act of defiance before their defeat, they hid from him a wondrous artifact they called the Magna Mater (Great Mother), a genevault of knowledge that contained the pure material of the 20 primarchs, the genetic blueprint of the space marines, that would later be known as the "Sangprimus Portum"...

>but wait, didn't he use his Legions to conquer Luna?
yes of course
>doesn't that mean the Selenar had already helped him create the primarchs, astartes and custodes or else that he created them without their help?
that's right

>redundant
Most of the game is "redundant", it doesn't need 20+ legion rules or 50+ different units to run. It's not about needing things, it's about telling a good story through your army and those units and rules are needed for that. Isstvan 3 and 5 were pivotal in the heresy and after the main attacks hunter killer squads were the main thing the books show as traitor ground assests left to finish off stragglers.
>>92745183
The book makes it crystal clear that the Selenar were needed to mass produce them because the labs on Terra weren't enough and once the legions started conquering the stars they weren't needed anymore, you pulled the " space marines weren't really created by the emprah but by the Selenar" out of your ass. Also minor factions seeing emps as the genocidal warlord that he is isn't anything new and trying to oppose him isn't anything new.
>>
>>92745183
Just in case you think I'm caricaturing them or something, here's actual quotes:

>We have gone by many names and used many guises through the ages to move through the world of men, but every name and every guise had but one purpose: to keep our power of creation out of the hands of men
>Because we knew you would do what your kind always does with such a gift: you would seek to turn it into a weapon of conquest and dominance

>So fragile. Another side-effect of hyper-aggressive masculine traits.

>Underestimating the depths of cruelty men possess has always been our problem

And bonus:
>To accept that everything for which you fight is built upon lies, murder and theft does not fit the narrative you must craft in order to keep believing you are the heroes of the galaxy

>>
>>92745220
>The book makes it crystal clear that the Selenar were needed to mass produce them because the labs on Terra weren't enough and once the legions started conquering the stars they weren't needed anymore
No, that's the opposite of what the book says. You're talking about what happened long after he conquered Luna and launched his Great Crusade. The conquest happened during the Unification Wars, which was launched because the Emperor wanted their techniques and the Magna Mater (Sangprimus Portum.)

>The Emperor's transhuman warriors are bred to wreck bloody ruin and nothing else. But we of the Selenar cult, by iterating upon the twin mysteries of the helix, perform acts of delation and creation. The gene-wrights of the Emperor pursue only the science of death, and it is too late for them to change their course.

>The Emperor does not seek to destroy us. He seeks to yoke us to His great work [...] His hubris requires our science, our looms and our mysteries. He knows much, but He does not know everything.
>If the Emperor's killers do not find me here, they will tear Luna apart until they do. They will break me and I will be forced to give them the Magna Mater.
>>
>>92745247
The Selenars absolute cope in the face of their own failures and complete lack of self awareness was consistently hilarious.
Like Erda, they’re absolutely written with the intention of being the far left ideal of strong female characters, fighting the patriarchy that oppressed them and steals credit for their works, but, just like in real life, the need for a coherent narrative and to hold to the established facts of the setting, means every time their boasts and accusations unravel after they hit the true and objective truths of the setting.
The Selenar were cruel and capricious monsters of old night, and the only importance they had was fleeting need for their inherited knowledge and jealously hoarded technology, becoming irrelevant the moment the Great Crusade left the Sol system, just as Erda’s claims of compassion and enlightenment being the reason she betrayed the Emperor, and scattered the Primarchs, was revealed to have been nothing more than being puppeted by the strings she never knew the Chaos gods held her by.
>>
>>92745288
But this makes no sense. The Emperor is a "god" level psyker and telepath. If the Selenar had any knowladge he did not possessed, he would just "read" it out of their minds and a speed regular psykers can't even imagine. And even if they had some sort of dampening fields on the moon. All it would take is for the Emperor to either destroy those fields(and they would have to be REALLY powerful to stop him) or collect the Selenars and perform the reading in the orbit of the moon.

Does GW not know how powerful their own "god" character is?
>>
>>92745288
And a space marine's apothecary's take, during the Heresy:
>The Selenar had two things the Emperor needed: a knowledge of genecraft that outstripped His own, and industrial-scale facilities to match the scope of His ambition. Thus they were spared obliteration. The Emperor yoked Luna's cults and tasked them with building armies mighty enough to conquer a galaxy.
>[The Magna Mater is] said to be the fabled fountainhead of the earliest and most powerful Space Marine genetics [...] this knowledge is what allowed the Emperor Himself to build the Legiones Astartes. None of us would be here without it [...] The Emperor will need this knowledge if He is to rebuild the Imperium back from the ashes.
>>
>>92745313
What a character says and what the facts of the setting are are two different things. The Legions already existed and outclassed everything the Selenar had created. All the Selenar did after the conquest of Lunar was afford themselves a stay of execution, by being useful as a way to industrialise the process of creating space marines. Hell, we know they were already going extinct, that their claimed mastery of the flesh and lofty boasts of grand genetic designs were failing before the master of mankind put an end to their degenerate experiments. Just because a character is written with an argument, even if it’s also the authors own opinion, doesn’t make it true. It just means the character and author are lying to not only us, but themselves.
>>
>>92745313
The book can't even seem to decide if the Emperor had access to it at one point, but if he ever did he could have just copied the data/learned the techniques.
Not to mention he had the primarchs he could resample if needed.

It's all poorly thought out nonsense to explain what Cawl got his hands on to create the Primaris 10k years later.

>>
>>92745354
Both the Selenar genewitch and the apothecary agreed that the Magna Mater was necessary to create the space marines.

And here's an exchange:
>"You have good eyes", [the genewitch] said
>"You should know, your kind enhanced them."
>"That we did, Raven Guard, irreducible complexity be damned."

And the book is titled "Sons of the Selenar", in case you forgot.
>>
>>92745380
>Inconsistency
There isn't any, Emps created the space marines and conquered Luna to get the gene forges to mass produce marines and the magna mater to stabilize the process and iterate upon. The phrase
>this knowledge is what allowed the Emperor Himself to build the Legiones Astartes.
is pointing to the fact that every time someone tries to mass produce astartes we have been shown so far it results in mutants, retards or dead recruits but through the knowledge and that before the great crusade the legions were legions in name only.

And this upsets you because? This attitude of their is just copied from Dune like everything else. God-Emperor Leto II straight up says war is a adolescent obsession men engage in because they're closeted homos. He also maintains an all female army because they make better occupation troops and are less predatory.

40k's Emperor is in every was just a failed version of Leto II. You people should really read all the stuff that inspired 40k. You'd be a lot less surprised when you read something like this.

yeah, the Cawl stuff is beyond my level of understanding either it is stupid, that it is not even on my stupid ass level OR it is so pulled out of the ass that it doesn't make sense at all. Potentialy both. The idea of legion sized forces, with weapons, fleets, etc being hidden for 10k years is mind blowing.

I'm also amused at the idea that an all-female force wouldn't be engaging in homosex 24/7

But he already build the 1st legion and it was stable. And it was mass produced too. Now if they had a way to mass produce custodes, then maybe the tech would have been worth mind reading them all for knowladge.

There are 20 legions and 10k marines isn't cutting it when you need to conquer the known universe.

They mind wiped themselves removing everything related to the Magna Mater, it's one of the reasons the gene witch in Sons of the Selenar(TM) can't ask for help from the rest of the cult.

No matter how you try to reconcile it, it doesn't make chronological sense.

And again, everyone agrees that the Magna Mater was the blueprint for the space marines, not just techniques for mass production:

Thanks senpai, it's the receipe from Cult of Paint. I really liked it because it's much more like the Black Books and Index Astartes before it. The Sybarite Green look just isn't for me.

>>92745689
>that the Magna Mater was the blueprint for the space marines
The magna mater contains the total knowledge about gene-crafting the Selenars had, you can keep reposting the same posts and I can keep reposting the same answers. They used the knowledge to iterate upon big E's design but in some of the books even they admit they didn't know jack shit on how to improve them and most certainly didn't invent marines.
>>
>>92745689
They didn't mind-wipe themselves after getting captured, the gene-witch said that she hid it for 200 years but the first pacification was 300 years before SotS. Emps had the thingamajig for a century. The first marines were prototypes.

>They didn't mind-wipe themselves after getting captured
They mind-wiped themselves BEFORE getting captured.
>the gene-witch said that she hid it for 200 years
Yes, she was the only one who wasn't mindwiped, who was tasked with hiding the Magna Mater. No one even knew she existed. The Emperor never got his hands on the Magna Mater (after the conquest of Luna at least)

>Emps had the thingamajig for a century.
Did he? Because it sure sounded like not only the Selenars had the thing all this time, but that it was THEIR sacred artifact in the first place (it's named the Magna Mater after their Cybele cult, it's encoded with their genecoding techniques, it's at the center of their rites etc)

>>92745809
>The magna mater contains the total knowledge about gene-crafting the Selenars had
That's not what the apothecary believed and that's not what the witch claimed. It seems it's a magnum opus equivalent of the Philosopher's Stone or Emerald Tablet in a way, but it's something that they had specifically used as the "fountainhead" for the space marines' genetics, and what Cawl would use to create the Primaris (supposedly, it contains "the pure genetical material" of the 20 primarchs that he used to craft the new organs)

>in some of the books even they admit they didn't know jack shit on how to improve them
The one non-mindwiped witch we have essentially bragged that her sisters did just that, and the space marine she talked to even knew that:

>The Emperor never got his hands on the Magna Mater (after the conquest of Luna at least)
Yeah mostly this. And now we know what the power of the Magna Mater was: it would have allowed marines to be upgraded to Primaris 10,000 years earlier.
That being said, after 9E gave Firstborn 2W, currently Primaris are different from marines in one way only:
+1A
That is the power of the Magna Mater. +1A.

From my expirance from working at 2 prisons, you are right. But I am not sure if WC brushes and bottles are such an awesome alternative to a dick. Plus women are impossibly cruel to other women, if allowed to.

Maybe those imprisoned are the worst of the worst? As in, think of all the stuff women do get away with.
Those imprisoned are the ones that, even after social acceptance, they still get punished. They are the ugly ones D:

All esoterists are librarians (in the broad sense of librarians being any astartes psyker - more on that below) but not all librarians are esoterists. The esoterists (like some others, eg. the Primus nullificators) are librarians who specialize in one very specific aspect of psychic powers. 2.0 removed the daemonology disciplines but one could argue that an esoterist is just a librarian who specializes in daemonology.

All of the above assumes the definition of “librarian” as an astartes psyker; in the crusade and HH time, psykers were (depending on the legion, much) less regulated and categorized than they are under the codex astartes. An alternative way of thinking would be that librarians are specifically psykers who conform to some set of defined or de-facto standards present across the legions (hence why a storm seer, rune priest or generic thousand sons psyker may not be considered a librarian). Some of the descriptions surrounding the council of Nikaea suggest that in imperial bureaucracy eyes, any Astartes psyker is a librarian, but again, these aren’t hard defined terms at this point.

nah, I never worked at a heavy labor camp where there were women. In both cases it were regular prisons, for people that didn't pay their taxes, stole things from work and a lot of women that hit/killed their husbands. We didn't even have prostitutes and drug dealers in my wing. Those had a separate wings, and there "magic" happened.

If you’re going to use drill bits with a dremel or similar rotary tool you need to make sure you buy bits rated for high RPM, and you have to be careful. Most small drill bits (at least most that aren’t 30-40 USD per bit) are intended for use in a hand drill or pin vise and aren’t made using materials and tolerances that let them withstand 3-20 kRPM. My rotary tool can run unladen (no load or bit) at 23000 RPM and that’s more than enough to blow up cheap drill bits. I do have a few nice carbide drill bits made for those RPMs but they were ~45 $CAD each and I wouldn’t use them for plastics (they’re for metalworking for jewellery).

Esoterists are marines who experiment with channeling the Warp through rituals, symbols, and sacrifices.

Librarians channel the warp through their innate connection with the Warp.

Esoterists are dudes using shamanism, name magic, enumerica (math magic) etc. You are right in that. Psykers are just dudes who affect the world with the power of their mind.

Alternative viewpoint: when I was in high school four girls got together and raped another girl with a toilet brush before kicking her to death. One of them did a year in juvie, the others got off (gigity) with community service. At least one reoffended before the end of high school when she stabbed another girl in the stomach with a pencil because “she was a whore who got pregnant” (the baby and girl both survived).

Now, to temper this, there was also a gang fight involving 30+ male students that ending a shoot out (27 shots fired, nobody hit, two arrested).

You should actually be able to get decent bits at a more reasonable price there - Poland and a pretty decent (by Eastern European standards) machining industry. I suspect you’re still looking at like 10 bucks each minimum if you want them done to standards, but going for a set of decent locally manufactured high speed steel bits would probably suffice - I’d see if you can find a local machine shop and ask if you can buy a few bits from them instead of hitting a hardware store. All this is assuming your dremel goes up to these high speeds, if it caps out at like 3k RPM there’s much less concern.

Another option would be to go to a jeweller and ask where they get their bits and burrs - jewellers tend to have really nice stuff but that’s cheaper than machinist stuff because it doesn’t need a shit load of accreditations and paperwork to say how good it is.

We actually only had two kids die (one was the girl, but that wasn’t at school) and the other got hit by a bus while skateboarding across our transit way (he survived for nearly a year though but died from complications).

It was a public school that existed right at the boundary between a very rich neighbourhood and a very poor neighbourhood. Super nice school, but basically it had a third of its population being from projects, a third from million dollar homes (and this was fifteen years ago when that wasn’t the norm) and a third from diplomat families. Definitely weird on demographics.

All women I know have told me this and grew up as the only guy in an all women household, so also know from personal experience It's insane how hostile women between each other seem to be.
Groups of men are just hanging out with the bros the majority of the time. But with women? They gotta conform to the unwritten, unspoken social rules of that group, or they will face the consequences or be cast out and shunned. Even if there's no physical abuse it's a lot of manipulative psychological warfare.

It's why that part where Malcador says the primarchs should have been women is such an absolute joke to me. If that had been the case the Imperium would have self-destructed due to infighting within a decade or two.

>Librarians
Marine psykers following the Librarium rules created by Sanguinius, the Khan, and Magnus. Not all were combat psykers (Example: the few Luna Wolves librarians)
>Esoterists
marines playing with warp shit, but not necessarily psykers when they began (example: Erebus, Malaghourst). Usually traitors summoning daemons
>Sorcerers
unregulated battle psyker marines deep in chaos shit even if they don't know it. Example: the TSons
>Shamans
Stormseers and Rune priests. Psyker marines following native traditions with a lot of emphasis in restraint and avoiding daemons
>Misc
Some marines fell in more than one of these groups, like Tiphon. Or were natural psykers without training like Sevatar. Or tried it all like the AL.

BTW a lot of the legions didn't have a Librarius or formally recognized psykers.
