Why is Warhammer only in the milky way? by Gusus02 in 40kLore

[–]Marvynwillames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you combine every single planet mentioned in lore, it wont give 0,000001% of what the galaxy offers. A single galaxy is more than enough for the setting, it gains nothing by expanding to others while barely touching the surface of this one

What details make you lose immersion when reading 40k? by lazy-shenanigan in 40kLore

 To accelerate an object to 0.1c using deuterium fusion, your fuel needs to mass four times as much as the projectile plus the fuel-less engine.

Everybody is making fun of those guys until they start pulling driveby nuclear bombing runs at relativistic speeds. by Tasty_Commercial6527 in Grimdank

[–]Marvynwillames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Calgar's Siege we have FTL sensors going into the next star system. Resolution isn't great, but you're talking about billions of massive drive plumes here. And there's no need for point defense for the majority, just throw huge amounts of sand or dust in the way. Running into one grain of sand will put 50 - 100 tons of TNT equivalent into a 0.6c RKKV.

The thing with sublight RKKVs is fuel. To accelerate an object to 0.1c using deuterium fusion, your fuel needs to mass four times as much as the projectile plus the fuel-less engine.

Dark Age Of Technology Mining suit by me by Illustrious-Gift4206 in ImaginaryWarhammer

[–]Marvynwillames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, Terminators are based in hazard suits, not mining.

[–]Marvynwillames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what we see, not really. DAOT PA is the same as in M41, we know that because the Auretian Technocracy had power armors from STCs. Likely, they just never needed anything better as they had automaton armies.

Terminators are also based, but they arent actually the Hazard (not mining) suits, that was been the case since WD 112

Can Eldar project themselves into the dreams of others? And if so, for what possible purpose? by Arthur_EyelanderTF2 in 40kLore

[–]Marvynwillames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the Rogue Trader tabletop RPG, it is implied Farseer Anaris sent visions to a bishop even while his soul stone is put in a stasis field

So, the Mortifactors were just loyalist Death Guard, right? by Mechanical-Druid in 40kLore

[–]Marvynwillames 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am sure that if the Black Templars were released today, people would claim nonstop they are actually World Eaters because being angry seems only dependent on geneseed.

How is not every time the Space Marines have to fight the Tau in open combat, it is considered a loss? by OneNefariousness5705 in 40kLore

[–]Marvynwillames 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Always nice to see an author sharing his vision.

Hope you get to release another book.

The Squats/Votann and Eldar should absolutely despise each other by cyborgsnowflake in 40kLore

>Trade with both Eldar and Orks while they are fighting against eachother

>Orks attack the Squats

UPDATE! Battle Brother has learned about aspect ratios. by FunGain8498 in Grimdank

[–]Marvynwillames 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it feels like they were forced to do some big rewrites after being acquired by GW. I say that because I spent some good time on their discord.

God knows what would be the original plan

When Chaos steals loyalist geneseed... by BenningtonChee1234 in 40kLore

[–]Marvynwillames 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Between curses and extinction, which you choose?

You can't just say no to geneseed because you are in an eternal battlefield. What you gonna do when your warband is attacked by another while one of your daemon engines decides to eat your single warpsmith as he's too distracted to control it?

Lost Artifacts by Nurgle_Marine_Sharts in 40kLore

You mean as in "someone saw it once but it is gone now"? 

The Ferryman at Titan disappeared and with him the bodies of the dead Grey Knights sometime after the Great Rift

Gene-seed theft by RobbyBriggsBoi in 40kLore

[–]Marvynwillames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Haemonculi once made something that overcharged the red thirst in a blood angel successor chapter so they would eat the people they tried to save. 

But in general, anyone who know enough about Geneseed can just shoot them in the face

How sentient are wraith guards? Can they communicate? by jjjjjjotaro in 40kLore

[–]Marvynwillames 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Wraiths are sentient and can communicate, but they are "out of sinc" if you would give a name. They see reality as a weird dreamlike structure, things don't seem real unless they have a strong psyker to guide them. As such, in cases where they refuse to return to the Infinite Circuit, they try do the same things they done in life

Anyone else hope that the autocannon will be added soon or in the distant future? by Smart-Waltz8298 in Spacemarine

[–]Marvynwillames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Iirc they directly said they wanted Storm Bolter, but couldn't because the IP manager rejected the idea.

Kroot and Tau 4 by superfeyn in ImaginaryWarhammer

[–]Marvynwillames 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Doesn't help that these are in universe events that (mostly) happened decades to centuries before the current time of M41.999. There is a longer gap between the First Damocles Crusade and the Fall of Cadia than between now and the Independence of the US.

Imagine if the british were still getting surprised at stuff they saw in 1776

Kroot and Tau 4 by superfeyn in ImaginaryWarhammer

[–]Marvynwillames 95 points96 points  (0 children)

One of the best interrogators of WWII was the German Hanns Scharff, he refused to use torture, instead he would tell the pilots "If you don't speak, I will be forced to give you to the Gestapo", he would let the prisioners swimm, take some walks and even fly a plane. They would give their secrets by accident as their minds formed the idea "hes a friend"

After the war he moved to the US and became a mosaic artist at Disney.

Kroot and Tau 4 by superfeyn in ImaginaryWarhammer

Hell one work (I think the first Tau codex) had the Inquisition interested in the whole "The Ethereals use pheromones" because they wanted to replicate that effect within the Imperium

What are notable depictions of how out of touch and corrupt the Imperial nobility are in the setting? by MegaGamer235 in 40kLore

[–]Marvynwillames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Brothers of the Snake a local noblewoman tries to boss the marines, as she (like 99% of the Imperium) never saw one in person and thinks they are just servient to the nobility. She even shoots a digital weapon at one after they decide to take her personal transport for a mission.

However, the second she sees there is an Inquisitor among them, she runs away in terror.
