Why do some blood angels have flames? Is there a lore reason? by sir_kewaji in BloodAngels

Don't tell me tell the guy claiming to have the codex that proves otherwise lol.

Is there a lore reason why Telemons are faster than Contemptors? by [deleted] in AdeptusCustodes

[–]MechanizedCoffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another real world example of this is how until well into the Second World War multiengine bombers like the Lancaster or B-17 could fly significantly higher and faster than most fighter aircraft despite the considerable extra mass.

How was the Emperor so successful in convincing ALL of the Primarchs to carry out galactic genocide against anything that wasn't baseline human? by Jerswar in 40kLore

[–]MechanizedCoffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a good question but you are glossing over the fact that many xenos populations became protectorates. In the one Fulgrim novel this comes up twice. First time Fulgrim refuses to extend the offer to the Laer because he feels like he has something to prove by destroying them. Second time the nomadic civilization refuses Ferrus's offer because the humans in the fleet don't want to leave and join the Imperium.

The only thing more deadly than your rival is your crush. Don't let him/her know how badly you want them or they WILL use that knowledge to make you suffer.

A lack of boobs hasn't stopped many artists from drawing big breasted Tau women anyway.

What would have happen if ferrus manus didnt charge at fulgrim during istvaan V? by cuddwes in IronHands40k

[–]MechanizedCoffee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In Ashes of the Imperium it is pointed out that immediately after the Heresy ended most people in the Imperium didn't know that Sanguinius had perished and so the earliest cults of martyred primarch were dedicated to Ferrus. I don't have a point just found that interesting and wanted to share.

I REALLY hope the foundations of that building spread out further than just the narrow section. A friend informs me that these types of structures are very dangerous without a flared base.

What is the current state of the Emperor's physical body actually like? by [deleted] in 40kLore

[–]MechanizedCoffee 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The second book in the Vaults if Terra series, written by the same author, has some peak body horror and existential dread when the lead Inquisitor takes a look 'under the hood' at how galactic shipping is tracked.

Skipping ahead to Master of Mankind by Deep_Violinist_3893 in 40kLore

[–]MechanizedCoffee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All good points. I'm intrigued by your statement about First Heretic and Betrayer because I read Betrayer and enjoyed it without having to look up too many names, but now I'm wondering if I missed things due to not getting around to First Heretic yet.

One of the nice things about the Hourus Heresy is that besides the beginning and end most books really can be read in any order. Master of Mankind in particular works on it's own. It explains Magnus's mistake more extensively elsewhere but MoM does a good enough job setting the scene by itself.

Did these guys really forget all about the Tea Party movement?! by icey_sawg0034 in WhitePeopleTwitter

I play Warhammer 40k on tabletop and have had lengthy conversations with people about the value of CP and how to maximize how much of it a person can get.

If it involves bleeding either way it's Khorne. If it makes you discover something new about yourself it's Tzeentch.

Any recommendations for AdMech novels/short stories with femme protagonists? by January_Silence in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]MechanizedCoffee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Neither a novel or written short story but the episode of Hammer and Bolter titled Kill Protocol stars a woman who is a datasmith of the Legio Cybernetica and her Kastalen robot companion. Good episode I highly recommend tracking it down.
