They're born as normal humans and the genetic stuff is added in later, around puberty. I assume they don't gently caress with the head too much. (Aside from the mandatory brainwashing, of course)

One of the books has a normal human go out of their way to comment on how absurd they look with their enormous bodies and regular size heads.

Is there a 40k lore thread around here? Because this poo poo is fascinating. I've played the games but never the tabletop one due to just how expensive that poo poo is.

Couldn't get into the couple books I've seen either, it just had abysmal writing.


Ask away here, we're cool and chill.

Here is a second cool and chill thread in Trad Games instead of CCCC.

There's also this youtube series that basically gives the modern lore the Rogue Trader treatment.

In the 1800s, the agrarian economy involved most Americans. In 1840, farming was the occupation of 69 percent of working Americans. Farmers weren’t able to travel easily until the harvest was over. Also, the onset of winter conditions in areas that had winter conditions made travel a problem, so elections happened in the late fall.

In the 80s and early 90s, most consoles came with flat joypads. However, Teiyu Goto, the creator of the iconic two-handled PlayStation controller, felt that the three dimensional design matched the 3D visuals of the games. Many managers within Sony were resistant to the concept, but Goto had the support of Sony president and keen pilot Norio Ohga, who liked the device because it reminded him of an airplane control wheel.

They basically are to an absurd degree, plus injected with the genetic material of what amounts to a living god. (third-hand, mind)

Though with Chaos Space Marines all the rules are out the window. Especially with the God of Sex, Drugs and Rock 'n Roll.

I could see making the argument that Gilbert is the center of hell. I lived in Tempe for 3 years and "hell adjacent" sums it up quite well.

In the lore, space marines are barely even human any more. They're heavily mutated by "gene seed" and subject to intense indoctrination through psychological torture. Many parts have been replaced by cybernetics and their armor constantly pumps performance enhancing drugs into what remains of their bodies. Oh yeah, and recruits are usually taken when they're 10-12 years old.

40k lore is dumb.
