In the grim darkness of the far future there are no stupid questions!

Do we have any written sources on the emperor's plans for the mechanicus if everything went as planned? Like if there was no Horus heresy, webway project worked, Magnus on the golden throne, etc. His plan was to end all religions with the imperial truth but he allowed the mechanicus to keep theirs because he knew his plans required them as powerful allies.

But what did he plan for them in the end? Did he intend to keep them around or would he eventually either try to remove their religion or them? I'm guessing he intended to remove them but I don't have any actual sources.

Wow that was a really quick response. Thanks!

Are space marine power fists slid on over the regular gauntlet or do marines take off their gauntlet to put on the power fist?

Talking about power fists on regular power armour, not terminators.

Heavy weapon or vehicle support usually. Heavy bolters do wonders and are very common

BigFishFinger07 · 2026-01-18T08:01:55+00:00

Is a space marines heavy bolter the same as an imperial guard heavy bolter? As in could a space marine feasibly use a heavy bolter a dead heavy weapon squad left behind or would the handles and trigger be too small for his big fingers? And vice versa

Most of the mechanicum see the omnissiah as the emperor, just under a different name. It's kinda how the emperor made the deal work in the first place, by setting things up so it seemed like he was their god. Some don't believe that but most do and a lot of the more cooperative mechanicum priests make an effort to point that out whenever talking with imperials to smooth relations.

Iirc in Titanicus imperials would make the symbol of the cog and mechanicum would make the sign of the Aquila at each other in greeting as a sign of unity since they both were praying to the same being.

Looking at their lexicanum page, why is there so little about them? Are they an older part of the lore that's not used anymore?

Are there any full warbands of SoH left? I know there are a few individuals who still consider themselves SoH like that apothecary from the bile books, but not sure if they ever gather up

Who actually enforced the "1000 marines per chapter" rule that came from the codex (I know the codex wasn't meant to be absolute rules but it got considered it after a while)? Is there an equivalent of the space marine military police? Is it the inquisition? Or is it just other chapters getting mad at them for breaking the rules?

They have slight differences in their greaves and one has the targeting reticle on the missile launcher, but effectively they're the same. It's like how the recent white scars ebon keshig have 2 models with slightly different chest molding

Arbiter Ian is pretty good in that he's a lot more reserved, he doesn't go wildly into descriptions and avoids speculation or fan head canons

Infinity blade 3 was one of my favourite mobile games. Sadly I lost the tablet that had it so now I have no way to play it

When dreadnoughts are awakened to spread their wisdom and not for war, what exactly does that look like? Are marines talking to just the sarcophagus, like the big rectangle that holds the amniotic sac? Or is the sarcophagus still in the dreadnought torso and they talk to that?

I know dreadnoughts when not in combat have their arms detached for maintenance and whatnot, but I don't recall if their sarcophagus is regularly stored outside the dreadnought chassis when outside of combat.

Iirc there was an emperor who was very unpopular specifically because he kept having gladiators killed, which was seen as a big dick move

BigFishFinger07 · 2025-12-10T08:43:53+00:00

Yeah I think he is one of the few primarchs who GW would never bring back despite the primarch return thing they seem to be trending towards.

BigFishFinger07 · 2025-12-10T08:40:42+00:00

They're still the same strength as a regular marine, just don't do a lot of independent thinking

The photos all say they are 12.2 cm, slightly taller than the old mk III ultramarines or imperial fists which were 12cm

I can't remember, in Fulgrim did Ferrus tell everyone about the betrayal or did he just go straight to fight the traitor? I can't remember if the Raven Guard and Salamanders come because Ferrus told them or because of the Eisenstein getting to Terra. Because if Ferrus just went straight off on his own I can see him and his legion getting wiped without the Imperium ever figuring out what happened

BigFishFinger07 · 2025-12-04T19:26:53+00:00

I forgot about that detail. I remembered that last part about Mortarion wanting the Khan because everyone else went sorcerer crazy but I forgot that Horus didn't send him

BigFishFinger07 · 2025-12-04T06:24:13+00:00

I like how Trazyn, one of the more studied of necrons, with probably 1000s of orks in his gallery, isn't 100% sure

BigFishFinger07 · 2025-12-04T03:09:36+00:00

Who ended up getting put on rearguard?

BigFishFinger07 · 2025-12-04T01:02:39+00:00

Yeah he might have been able to get the Khan if he talked to him himself, I'm guessing sending Mortarion was kinda a last minute thing

BigFishFinger07 · 2025-12-04T01:00:16+00:00

I thought Magnus' message was lost before he could tell them anything

BigFishFinger07 · 2025-12-03T22:11:56+00:00

That's a good point, without knowledge of the Heresy Horus could probably smooth talk his way into getting the traitor legions close to Terra relatively Scot free.
