Those flowing locks are just begging to get pinched and yanked in between two overlapping pieces of the armour or a servo.

Gonna assume her arms and legs only go as far as the elbows and knees of the suit and there is some sort of equivalent neural control interface for movement even if it isn't a Black Carapace.
I think she connects to the armor with that bodyglove she's wearing.

The warrant of trade has to come from Terra but that doesn't mean they couldn't align themselves with your mechanicum faction for whatever reason.
Does It? Because in the rpg it's mentioned that most Rogue Traders don't show around their Warrant of Trade, so it's not uncommon for someone in flashy clothes to bullshit being a Rogue Trader. You could easily have a Mechanicus character pretend to be a Rogue Trader.

Of course this begs the question why it isn't standard practice to remove them upon maturity so they aren't at risk of losing both if the marine gets vaporized or whatever.

I figure it's just a political reality that they can't wage a crusade to take back the Sabbat Worlds if they're going to purge everyone after every battle. And they're not purging everyone after the crusade ia over if they couldn't even pull that off after Armageddon. Most likely they'll closely monitor the Sabbat Worlds for centuries to make sure there's no corruption.

The feeling I get is the non-believer chapters focus on the physical facts of the Emperor's mortal body. The Primarchs were based genetically off the Emperor, the Space Marines off the Primarchs, so they have the emperor's genes flowing through their veins. The Emperor had genes, therefore he had a biological body, therefore he was a Man.
I kind of see Space Marines worshipping the Emperor like a non-divine Odin. They may not believe he's a god, but he is their king, and the greatest man in existence, which they owe their fealty to.

Miniatures exist of Titan crew. None of them are hardwired in. IIRC the forgeworld stuff at least had the crew plugged in, but there's not actually as much room in there as the novels like to play with.
I think it makes the most sense if each legion chooses themselves whether to do the amniotic tank or not. Like the Legions in Titanicus did it but the PoV princep's legion in Mechanicum mostly didn't and he only got tanked because he was grievously injured.

Also being in the tank isn't too bad because there's a noosphere link so you've basically got a local internet connection.

In fact we're literally going to lock them in cells and shoot them if they so much as think about using their powers.

To quote the thread titel - read Eisenhorn. Before he becomes a daemon waffle-stomping murder machine, Eisenhorn's team have a pretty desperate fight with a traitor marine and it really hammers home how dangerous those things are. To the extent that a regular 40k marine is scared to ask how he did it later on.



Yeah, Dorn is loyal to the point of being retarded. Dad said no psyker poo poo? Ok, I'm going to totally lock down EVERYTHING just in case.
Yeah, but why imprison them? If he's never going to let them out, he might as well have killed them.

The Custodes were made to be advisors and confidants to a living god, able to think on the Emperor's level or at least close to it while also being completely loyal to him. The way I see it, they're a bit tougher than Space Marines, but they can be better fighters because they're able to learn faster than Space Marines.

Remember when the old fluff speculated that Abaddon was a clone of Horus, using "the black art of cloning"? They sort of indirectly address it in one of the Black Legion books, but I'm kind of curious why they dropped it.

DirtyRobot posted:

Probably the HH series writers just decided they wanted to use the character without an extra long origin story explanation. The first HH book (I think) included a wink wink nod to the idea: the extra-preferred "sons of horus" in the legion look even more similar to Horus than marines usually do who when they take their primarch's gene seed. Abaddon is, of course, one of the sons of horus; he's also a bit bigger than your average marine.

Then, in Black Legion, ABD explored the idea a bit more when he tried to make Abaddon not extremely stupid.
How does that even work? Does the implant for bone growth puff up your face here and there to look like Horus? Or maybe the one for muscle growth?

It's heavily implied in A Thousand Sons that Fenris is far more populated than a death world should be because Fenrisians were genetically modified in the Dark Age to be adapted to the environment.

Other sources suggest that Space Wolve aspirants accept the implants better than expected ; the Emperor was surprised that so many of Russ's vassals survived the process even though they were older than recommended.
