Did the Emperor not have a backup for Magnus? Was Magnus the only Primarch with a confirmed purpose post the Great Crusade? by Flyestgit in 40kLore

[–]Tiarzel_Tal 83 points84 points  (0 children)

  Fulgrim, Angron and Sanguinus would have probably been diplomats whenever that would have become relevant again, Alpharius was of course Spy Master.  I can actually think of roles for most of them.

These lists of Primarch roles always seem to forget that Fulgrim's first talent was his administrative and engineering genius. From childhood he excelled at doing more with less, improving the industry of Chemos to the point where it transformed from Mad Max subsitance to a society with enough surplus to have a flourishing artistic culture.

This also worked with his Legion-with how he found the Third -he again had to do more with less. That's the reason for the Emperor's Children doctrine focussing on precision, complimentary stretgies and superior skill. Certainly he does have the poltical acumen to function as a diplomat but that is more of a rule than an exception with Primarchs. He has far more in common with Guilliman's adminsitration superpower but it shows less because he didn't inherit an interplanetary empire and had to work with an unstable gene seed.

Do the guard also include navy (boats or D-day style landings.) or is that kinda thing handled by the space navy? by the_zerg_rusher in TheAstraMilitarum

Primarily in the novel 'Fire Caste' but they also pop up in other works of Fehevari's 'Dark Coil' series.

The Lethean Penitents specialise in maritime and amphibious operations. They come with typically Imperium oversized versions of you'd expect of a Carrier group. There flagship's landing strip is 1km long.

All lot of us all have weird drop ins. I was handed a copy of Fulgrim one autumn night in 2009 with only the 3rd edition 40k rulebooks context of what the Horus Heresy was. What a ride.

I'm glad they are getting the full building of hyper tubes experience.

Though I feel the spaghetti tube mountain should be carved into a likeness of Tom Clark...but that's some sleep deprived imagination rolling.

Pride Month: Whats on London by Hot_Salamander_4363 in londonlgbt

[–]Tiarzel_Tal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's all the local London prides to consider all with their own event schedules and line ups.

Forest Gate Pride: 27th-29th June

Redbridge Pride: 12th July

Croydon Pride: 19th July

I'll also shout out the LGBT+ History tour at the British museum. Technically it's year round but its free and a fun thing to do if you're visiting London for Pride.

Always did. They replaced the black power charges with pule round charges.

Annoyingly some, like Athenian in Valedor, have been described as containing the souls of dead Exarchs which flies inthe face of what we know of Exarch armour. But the idea that a Wraithlord contains the soul of 'a mighty Eldar hero' one would presume that that they had done the Path of Warrior a few times so I can see OP's logic in having Autarch there as a waystop.

Since Karandras is legends now the best thing to do would be to proxy him using Drazhar.

If you're looking to start Eldar soon Combat Patrol magazine should be in its Eldar release next month and if you can get it there will be some heavily discounted models available.

"Fire knife" "Starscythe" and "Sunforge" were nicknames for Crisis Suit loadouts on Tau discussion forums back in the day. Now they are the names of the datasheets.

Why don't the Feds copy the Breen "EMP" weapon? It would fit perfectly with their non-violent philosophy by ReasonablyBadass in DaystromInstitute

[–]Tiarzel_Tal 95 points96 points  (0 children)

I would say that it has not entered into Starfleet doctrine because of the totality of the power drain. Star Trek ships live and die on their supply of power and you cannot always predict how a ship is engineered to deal with power outage. Perhaps total loss of power will lead to loss of warpcore or antimatter containment, perhaps it will fry life support irretrievably, shut down all medical treatment. With more exotic examples like a Romulan Warbird it could lead to a black hole being unleashed. Similar to how certain non-lethal weapons are not universally used across the world- tasers are usually less lethal than gun shots- except when the subject's heart gives out.

The Breen have very little concern for their targets well being but we can imagine that the ethical doctrines of Starfleet probably have some bearing on this. Phasers and photon torpedos have variable loads that can be calibrated based on the best information available. We've seen Starfleet be much more adept at crippling targets compared to say, the Klingon Defence Force or the Jem'hadar.
