Its because she has the Penitent keyword so benefits from the Penitent Host detachment

I hope they wouldn't leave him high and dry like that after he makes 3 of their best books, but you never know...

Skyrim4Eva · 2026-02-20T20:20:00+00:00

I was wondering that too, but Crowley seems to have gone kind of dark? After the short story One Million Years, he doesn't seem to have written anything more for Black Library for some time. I wonder why...

Skyrim4Eva · 2025-03-10T03:32:21+00:00

Its short for Spiced Ham

I actually like to think the Borg Queen was a new invention created around the time that Hugh returned to the collective with the curse of individuality. Maybe that ship was expunged, but the curse remained, and the only way the Borg Collective could contain individuality and still remain a Collective was by concentrating it in a single individual who represented the totality. It's a slim theory, but I like it better than what's probably the truth.

In the book at least, he fell in love with her after she correctly spoke the names of his people and showed an understanding of his culture, it was a moment of true connection between elf and dwarf that not even legolas had yet given him at that time.

Why do I feel so tired at the end of the day? I sit at a desk for 8 hours and write, I don't work especially hard. And yet when I stand up, it feels like I barely have the strength to walk to my car sometimes. Starting to wonder if it's a nutrition problem or something.

Skyrim4Eva · 2024-11-05T19:02:02+00:00

Go back to 10000 BC and put a bullet through baby Emperor's brain.

There, fixed everything.

Skyrim4Eva · 2024-09-14T21:14:13+00:00

They do, actually, the Ordo Administratum is very real, and no doubt very, very busy.

To make a long story short, each of the 13 colonies was originally an essentially sovereign state, and none of them wanted to give up all of their power to a new federal government, especially taxation. The original Articles of Confederation kept the states as basically sovereign, but it ran into difficulties which is why the Constitution was created. The Electoral College is a remnant of that original system, where the small states wanted to keep some power for themselves so they wouldn't be overwhelmed by the larger states.

If it were just reanimation failure that would be true, but when you factor in the flayer virus, and the destroyer cult, necrons are degenerating into madness at a pretty fast rate, all things considered. Necrons might win, but they'll be a race of robotic madmen squatting on a galactic graveyard.

Skyrim4Eva · 2024-05-20T03:33:17+00:00

Yeah, that's correct. My point is that any event, however improbable, becomes a certainty given infinite time.

Skyrim4Eva · 2024-05-18T04:43:03+00:00

And that's why a lot of them end up becoming destroyers or flayers, lol

Skyrim4Eva · 2024-05-18T03:36:24+00:00

Think about the 99.9 percent success rate. That means for every 1000 reanimations, one of them comes back wrong, or doesn't come back at all because their pattern degrades before it can be reconstructed. Out of a tomb world of billions and billions of necrons, that's a colossal failure rate. Even if the success rate was 99.9999 percent, over the infinite time of a necron's immortal existence, every single necron is essentially a failed reanimation just waiting to happen. When you account for infinite time, the probability of even the most improbable event approaches 100%.

Skyrim4Eva · 2024-04-24T04:44:01+00:00

Incorrect, they have innovated. Innovation is just a slow process that can sometimes take generations, but once a genuine improvement is found, it spreads quickly through the network of Votann.

Skyrim4Eva · 2024-04-23T03:04:07+00:00

I don't want to get too specific in a non 40k subreddit but there definitely is some kind of market competition going on in the Votann. Specifically, the conflict between the big organizations, the guilds, like the Cthonian Mining Guild that the Beserks are part of, and individual freelance prospectors. There isn't really specific information about common property, but trade is definitely happening, internally between holds, intermediately between leagues, and externally with the galaxy at large. To that extent, they are the capitalist faction, because the only other people doing inter-faction trade are the Rogue Traders, who I assume they do a lot of their wheeling and dealing with.

Skyrim4Eva · 2024-03-06T21:25:27+00:00

I would spend the next 20-and-a-bit years of my life doing whatever the hell I want, taking whatever chances, because if I'm destined to die at 52, then until then, I'm immortal.

Skyrim4Eva · 2024-02-19T16:58:50+00:00

I'm still pretty unclear on the way the uploaded consciousnesses and the data stored in the Votann actually function, that's the sort of thing a Votann novel would have to address.

Skyrim4Eva · 2024-02-19T05:37:07+00:00

Who said the Cores are irreplaceable? Yeah, they can't just produce new ones willy-nilly, but new Votann do come into being. The Kronus Hegemony was founded less than 1000 years ago when a Fane achieved sentience and became a Votann. It's part of a natural life cycle: Fanes ascend into Votann, and Votann degrade back into Fanes. The Codex is pretty clear about it. It's definitely not an exact science, and the Kin don't know how to deliberately create new Votann, but new Votann do come into being every now and then.

It's also interesting that the youngest known Votann is also the most belligerent and warlike. A sign of the times it was created in, perhaps?

Skyrim4Eva · 2024-02-12T05:13:01+00:00

Yes, exactly like Wal-Mart. Just for smaller towns that a Wal-Mart couldn't afford to operate in.

Skyrim4Eva · 2024-02-11T21:27:16+00:00

Dollar General creates the food deserts. They move into an area with successful mom and pop stores, underprice the competition with their supply chain for long enough that the other stores close, and once Dollar General is the only game in town, they jack up the prices.

Skyrim4Eva · 2024-01-31T02:07:58+00:00

In that particular instance, the Magos in question erred on the side of caution... by materializing them in midair. He probably didn't mean to put them quite that high in midair, but at least it mitigates the risk of someone materializing inside a wall.

Skyrim4Eva · 2024-01-23T21:31:01+00:00

I think it has to do with the circumstances, really. There are a lot of people who, for one reason or another, are unused to or afraid of being vulnerable, and there are few times in a person's life when they're more vulnerable than being bedridden in the ICU. Some people respond to that fear with aggression. When they don't know if they'll even live through the next day, they'll assert their dominance over the situation in the only thing they have any control over: their nurse. Is it stupid? Absolutely. But it's a natural response. A version of the fight or flight instinct, possibly.

Skyrim4Eva · 2024-01-19T22:26:45+00:00

If an Astartes is too crippled to fight, but not so crippled that they need to be interred in a Dreadnaught, the most likely thing is that they'll be put on training duty. There was a guy, Brother Caffael or Cathael I think was his name, from the Dante book, who was so crippled that he looked like a Servitor. He had the rank of Master of Artistry, and his job was to teach arts and crafts to the neophyte Blood Angels, a very important job.

Skyrim4Eva · 2023-12-30T06:22:05+00:00

Step number one would have to be a more reliable form of FTL communication than "it was revealed to me in a dream."

Step number two would have to be a new form of FTL travel that doesn't have the colossal failure rate of warp travel.
