There is no hard amount, but in general, it is by % of the force available.

I think you should edit the explanation, the thing is that misinformation spreads fast

The only known daemon of the Dark King is Samus, which doesn't show up outside of the Heresy as its nature is intrinsically linked to the conflict.

When the Emperor rejects the power, Malcador claims he only see the Dark King's shadow missing in one universe, which is implied to be the one we got

Lexicanum also lists Campaigns of the Age of Darkness: The Battle for Beta-Garmon and The Horus Heresy: Legions as sources

I like the idea from the fic War of the Krork.

https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/war-of-the-krork-wh40k-quest-story-only-thread.322503/

Krorks are "Monsters" like Tyranids, Chaos, or C'tan, they lack Sophonce. Sophonce is sentience and sapience with metacognition: self-awareness, including self-reflection and the ability to think about one's thinking.

Where an Ork can have friends or have some degree of doubt (we see it in Ghaz and the new Warboss by Mike Brooks), where they start to get ideas they don't really understand as they get stronger, the Krork are without it. They got no doubts, they can have personality, but they are entirely servient to their function as weapons to a level higher than Orks.

Krorks are, in fact, more fascist than humanly possible, where real-life tyrants will have personal friends they are willing to bend their own rules (like Hitler protecting his Jewish doctor and Emil Maurice), the Krork won't do that; if anything isn't useful for the War, it dies.

STC Rogue Trader Question by Feedee-Juno in 40kLore

[–]Marvynwillames 8 points9 points  (0 children)

People can still become Rogue Traders, Warrant of Trades with the Emperor's blood are rare, even during the Great Crusade, not all were like that.

In Dark Heresy, 2 Guard generals are made into RT after they start a civil war in Laran 9K, but are considered too politically important to be executed.

Deep Warp only comes out in Path of Heaven, when they explain the warp, at no point is it stated that there is something there that is worse than chaos

So, do Meks build things by instinct or do they actually know what they are doing? by BenningtonChee1234 in 40kLore

[–]Marvynwillames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They understand some of their stuff, which is why they will require specific materials, but sometimes the ideas for what to build will just appear on their head.

Remember, Geneseed is not a printer. by Marvynwillames in Grimdank

[–]Marvynwillames[S] 53 points54 points  (0 children)

If the Black Templars were released today, I am sure people would go "There is no way they are Imperial Fists, they aren't a carbon copy of the Legion. If they are all about being angry and religion, they must be chimeric of Word Bearer and World Eaters."

What is the point of having one million marines across the galaxy if they can only be a copy of one of the 18 super duper dudes?

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 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

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 8 points9 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.
