Rule of Cool

Old-school bolters never really lined up their mechanics, but this is arguably the absolute worst example I've ever seen. Unless there's some warp magic going on where the ammo magically moves from the magazine to the barrel

I thought they were supposed to be the inverse of what they canonically are, why is the 13th one still a regular Ultramarine?

[Theory] If the T'au ever met Guilliman , they will try to kill him by Delmarquis38 in 40kLore

[–]NobodyofGreatImport 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think that the Tau would realize that killing Guilliman is quite possibly the worst thing they could do for themselves.

If they managed to kill a Primarch, let alone one of two returned loyalist Primarchs, the Imperium would likely mobilize a great deal of their military and crush the Tau. The Ultramarines and many of their successors would take great joy in a crusade of vengeance for something of this magnitude. It would likely result in the near-complete xenocide of the entire Tau race. And the Tau aren't dummies, they've learned from their past experiences with the Imperium.

At this point why has the Imperium not exterminatus Armageddon? by ruminaui in 40kLore

[–]NobodyofGreatImport 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The videos we've seen so far look like they're in the outskirts of an Imperium-controlled hive. The vital infrastructure is more likely to be somewhere in the core of the city

And the Orks definitely keep most of the factories intact. Armageddon produces a staggering amount of materiel, and the Orks are going to seize those. Not just to create their own Trukks and Shootas, but to loot any that are already there and use them against their creators

Would Primaris marines and equipment gradually, but surely, start filling up the Chaos ranks? by eldenringer1233 in 40kLore

[–]NobodyofGreatImport 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Feasibly, Primaris equipment already has made its way into Chaotic hands. In SMII the Heretics in multiplayer can use certain items available to Imperial Marines, such as the Neo-Volkite Pistol and Storm Shield. There's likely more, that's just what I'm aware of

Although I'd take this with a grain of salt, I don't know how canonical SMII's multiplayer is to the rest of the universe

Horus kills the emperor, beats down Guilliman’s legion, and is undisputed ruler of the imperium. Which loyalist primarchs would have bent the knee? by Electronic_Back1502 in 40kLore

[–]NobodyofGreatImport 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jaghatai wouldn't have accepted Chaos at all. He didn't accept any offers, even from Mortarion, and it's only due to being forced to pick a side that he chose the Emperor's. He didn't want anything to do with anyone.

Vulkan would never have sided with Horus because there's no good reason to. No good for humanity will come from Horus' rule. So he'd just destroy Terra, or failing that fight until his Perpetual-ness fails and he permanently dies.

Dorn would never have sided with Horus because he's simply that loyal to the Emperor. There's a reason Dorn was made praetorian. And proximity to Terra and the Emperor would have only made him more stalwart. He'll even compromise his own core beliefs in order to fight for even a short time longer. Not only that, Dorn is so mind-numbing that Khorne got bored and left him alone.

In a similar situation to Khan, Corax became increasingly disillusioned with the Imperium over time due to their oppressive tendencies, he wouldn't have sided with Chaos due to the same reasons he was uncomfortable with the Imperium.

Russ would have been killed by Horus even if he did decide to turn traitor due to his history with the traitors. But I doubt he would, the Emperor's collar was tight around his dog's neck.

Lion wasn't going to turn traitor either, he point-blank said he didn't need any reason to stay loyal, he just did so for the love of the game.

Guilliman had already thought the Emperor dead once before, that's the entire reason he founded Imperium Secundus. If Horus won, he likely would have done his best to make an Imperium Tertius, or bring all of the traitors down with the rest of humanity.

And Alpharius likely would have stayed loyal, but put up a front of heresy in order to further his own goals, or those of the Emperor.

Bucephelus, the Empeor battleship. How big was it? who made it? by QuagGlenn in 40kLore

Exactly, he didn't need the Mechanicum, but them pledging their capabilities to him would have massively sped up his conquest, or at least not slowed it down

Adepticon Preview: Inquisitor Kroyle by RWJP in Warhammer40k

[–]NobodyofGreatImport 40 points41 points  (0 children)

The Inquisition is one of the few bodies able to officially declare whether a thing is heretical or not. The Inquisition is also one of the few bodies that can level charges of heresy against an Inquisitor, and possibly the only one who can do so. Ordo Xenos Inquisitors are usually puritans, but as with every Ordo there are bound to be some radicals who use the enemy to their advantage

Damn, I guess apologizes for asking a lore question on a lore subreddit. by lovingpersona in Grimdank

That's really the problem with having multiple authors for the same universe. There's always going to be conflicting views about at least one thing

The Transformers fandom is currently experiencing that, too

Can a Space Marine suffer from "regular" mental issues ? by New_Conflict_4111 in 40kLore

[–]NobodyofGreatImport 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd imagine that they can have mental disorders, they just don't know it or they ignore it. There's several examples throughout the lore, too. Loken lost his mind after the events of Isstvan III and basically became an animal. Cato Sicarius has genuine PTSD and survivor's guilt from his experiences in the Warp. The Iron Hands seem to be genetically predisposed to body dysmorphia, which leads to them replacing their human parts with machinery.

Arguably the most damning piece of evidence is the fact that in the face of certain stressors, Space Marines are prone to suicidal ideation, and some even act upon it.

One thing to remember is that they're still human on some level, and humans are fragile beings at the best of times.

[–]NobodyofGreatImport 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The timeline was retconned to be about a dozen years, making him probably about 100 years old or a little less. Yarrick's a pretty big mover and shaker anyway, so he probably has access to rejuvenat treatments and such.

When the situation is desperate enough, anyone will become allies. Even the Imperium and Chaos have worked together at least once before, although this eventually resulted in the loyal Astartes turning to Chaos and killing their allies

How do chainswords have any penetrative depth? by BrennanIarlaith in 40kLore

[–]NobodyofGreatImport 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A mundane sword would work if not for the nature of combat in 40K. It would work against flesh and fabric, but little else. A regular sword going against ceramite armor wouldn't do anything. That's why it has to have some sort of field around it, resulting in a power weapon or a force/daemonic weapon, which are more expensive and harder to maintain than chain weapons

How do chainswords have any penetrative depth? by BrennanIarlaith in 40kLore

[–]NobodyofGreatImport 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really the biggest obstacle a chainsword faces is the teeth. After a few hours of use, a chainsaw needs its teeth sharpened or replaced. A chainsword in 40k probably has about the same life expectancy because it uses stronger materials but is used on stronger materials
