A and D sounds like the way to go. We can outsource part of the investigation to the Magos and deal with Amacita face to face. We can tell Limosa that we appreciate his offer but we have already taken our daily dose of nutrients for the day and invite him to join us tomorrow in our prayers and rituals to the Omnissiah but since he's not an initiate, he'll obviously need to wait outside for the several hours it may take. LowellDND posted:Speculatively, the thread is currently thinking Slaanesh cult And how wrong they are. I'm not sure if we should contact the Inquisitor just yet. There's no need to jump to conclusions since this is obviously a fringe Imperial cult dedicated to serving the Emperor via improving on the frailties of the human body. Just as we and even other Space Marine Chapters recognise the weakness of flesh and augment ourselves with the purity of the machine, they have chosen to use a better cut of meat for the same purpose. Who doesn't want to have better hearing to savour the words of the Imperial Truth? Or better eyes in which to gaze upon holy icons and his visage? ...Or a better sense of taste to devour his immortal essence?

No, don't be a dick. Limosa's probably a slimy poo poo but we must play the family game for now. Not going to this party is already going to come back and bite us, but not investigating what looks like a chaos cult will... probably be worse. Go meet Amacita. Please don't meat Amacita, and if we do, be gentle, and remember to get clear consent.

Limosa's not going to take us up on our offer but there's no way we should completely ignore and decline his invitation without offering some sort of recompense. We're a tech priest and anyone remotely familiar with the cult like the inner Family members will know the importance of the rituals as well as their secrecy. Being invited by a tech priest to attend supplication and maintenance rituals is a pretty big deal and is the equivalent of say being invited by a Space Marine to watch him clean his weapons. It's a big honour but it's also going to be mind numbingly boring for the observer. It's the best way we can both thank and attack Limosa.

Was wondering who would catch the centurion suit. Im not saying he's in the Inquisition, mind, but there is DEFINITELY a story behind it. When you get into the Retinue, or even become the Trader yourself, you'll find out a lot of fun things

Shadeoses posted:I thought it was because he's Rich As gently caress. Oh, he's that too, but at that level of play, money doesn't matter. Its favors. Either the Rogue Trader, or some ancestor of his, did something so tremendous that one of the rare(r) suits of armor in a very rare army was worth the trade. "War40k WIki posted:A Centurion is a Space Marine who has been equipped with a powered exoskeleton worn over his normal suit of Power Armour known as a Centurion warsuit that allows him to serve a heavy ranged or close combat assault role between that of a normal Astartes and a Terminator. A Centurion warsuit enables a Space Marine to stride into battle with the firepower of a battle tank at his fingertips. Protected by thick ablative plates of ceramite, a Centurion warsuit renders its pilot immune to all but the most powerful of weapons. Named after the Space Marine Legion leaders of old, the Centurion warsuit design was unearthed in the aftermath of the Age of Apostasy in the 36th Millennium, and after sanction by the Adeptus Mechanicus, the suits found their way into the armouries of almost every Space Marine Chapter. One useful side quest might be to find out what Chapter it came from, and if they are still around. Loel fucked around with this message at 12:01 on Oct 14, 2014 |

So I guess the real question is does a centurion suit, like a battle tank, have a spirit? And if it does, does it want to make new friends? And/or if a suit malfunctioned for some unspecified and unknown reason could it

Outrail posted:So I guess the real question is does a centurion suit, like a battle tank, have a spirit? And if it does, does it want to make new friends? War40k wiki posted:Power Armour is an advanced form of powered combat armour, worn primarily by the Space Marines and the Chaos Space Marines. It is a completely enclosed suit of combat armour composed of shaped Adamantium and Plasteel plates, encased in a Ceramite ablative layer. Each suit possesses a full suite of life-support functions for operation in hostile environments, an automated medicae system to provide some level of first aid to a wounded wearer and a highly advanced and fully integrated tactical targeting and threat analysis system known as Auto-senses. The suit would be heavy and cumbersome to wear but for the electrically motivated fibre bundles within the armour that replicates the wearer's movement and enhances his strength beyond its already considerable superhuman baseline (for Space Marines). Whilst Power Armour is most commonly associated with the Space Marines of the Adeptus Astartes, the Sisters of Battle and many Inquisitors also use powered armour of one sort or another. Typically, however, these armours may not contain the same strength-enhancing properties or life-support functions of Space Marine Power Armour, nor do they always provide the same level of protection.

I'm thinking more that at the high level meeting where the Lord Sire is announcing that this Psyker is his heir he stops and makes a weird noise before reaching up and twisting his own head off. His power armor then hands us his head while we announce that we have the entire hulk rigged with cyclone torpedoes, have united the Deeps who now stand behind us and have full control over all life support functions which are about to pump nerve gas into the bridge and why are you not on your kneeling before your new lord and could someone please toss that loving psyker out the airlock?

I haven't really kept up to date with the fluff but what's the difference between the centurion suit and terminator armour? Is terminator armour still the premium in protective armour or is centurion a step up? If centurion armour is so rare, would a tech priest like us even be able to begin to understand and modify it? Would we even be able to recognise what it was? Planning for the future, I'm not sure if we should even try taking on the Rogue Trader at all. His suit isn't going to be his only layer of protection and if he has the resources to even acquire the suit in the first place then who knows what else he has up his sleeve. Our best bet to take the warrant is still probably going to be nominated as the designated heir when our Lord Sire

Kegslayer posted:I haven't really kept up to date with the fluff but what's the difference between the centurion suit and terminator armour? In game terms, the Centurion increases your Toughness but lacks the Invulnerable Save that Terminators get. What that means is that a Centurion is actually harder to kill with infantry weapons like lasguns and bolters and the like, but easier to kill with dedicated anti-tank weapons like lascannons and melta-guns. Centurions carry bigger guns than Terminators, but since Centurions are piloted by regular marines as opposed to elite veterans the way Terminators are, Terminators are arguably better in hand to hand combat than Centurions. Certainly Assault Terminators will probably crush Assault Centurions in a hammer vs drill fight. In short, Terminator Armor probably is rarer and more elite than Centurion Armor, as indicated by the fact that only veterans and officers get to wear Terminator suits while they'll put any old Marine in a Centurion. As far as recognize it? We'd be able to recognize it, sure. You've never heard of them because they've only been added to the game in the last few years, but retroactively, Centurions have been around for centuries. Understand and modify? That's a whole different kettle of fish, and would probably require us moving farther down the Tech trees as opposed to the infiltration unit direction we've been heading.
