I'm kind of surprised there's this much of a stink about them. I just think it's hilarious that they're actually canon abhumans. I guess should have just gone with a Squat. A Slayer Cult would probably fight right in to the ship, now that I think of it.
How hard is it for the Felinids to shave, even assuming they're actually hirsute? It's not like every dude on the ship is rocking the lumbersexual look, as cool as that would be.

The Squats have died out, we are only left with Scrunts.

I was thinking, can we take our blanks genetic code for analysis of the pariah gene ? Maybe we can implant it into something more predisposed towards battle?

I gotta look up Slam Sector.

I flipped a coin when picking between Tom Selleck and Hugo Weaving, and split the difference in story between being a really prolific Limosa and wanting to make a Genestealer cult that implants human DNA into their victims and sings hymns to call a Crusade fleet when they've reached critical mass.

Xeno Hybris is boring when you leave it to Techpriests, it's all hurf durf claws and chitiny dudes, no imagination at all.

Pretty sure the answer to that is a canonical no. Blanks can be mass produced (what the Culexus temple does), but no one else in the Imperium seems to have the know-how to actually manage it, much less alter the pariah gene to work with something that isn't human.

Can we have the Magi find out the secrets of the mind uploading and embrace being full AIs? Could our first cyberskull secretly house a loyal C'tan that we befriended without realizing? Also can we have Fabiyan be the reincarnation of the God Emperor? Also, let's have Tzeentch be a good guy who's just been misunderstood this whole time and who is actually the victim of a misinformation campaign by his fellow chaos gods and the nefarious Eldar, but we totes see through it and can redeem him with the power of love.

Pecking on the cheek won't work since Tzeentch is ever shifting and making out may just draw things out for several novels.

Our sparkling 2nd husbando, who tries to keep us away because he's a chaos god abomination, but secretly wants to be with us always, keeps putting up walls between us (many of which are composed of ever shifting impossible geometries that drive even the hardiest of individuals utterly insane) and we need to break them down. We're going to have to combine our very essences into one called

if we really want to win his heart we're gonna need incredibly complex, needlessly detailed, mutually contradictory plans for dates, vacations, sloppy makeouts, 3 weddings, 4 divorces, and an ever shifting number of children and pets on his desk in triplicate, in High and Low Gothic no later than 4:23 PM on Blorksday, a day which only exists in the upper-middle class parts of the Eye of Terror while you're sneezing.

It's dangerous to take too long a journey in the Warp. Every passing moment of subjective time is another moment where the Gellar fields might fail and allow Chaos to infest the thread ship.

I just realized we missed out on a golden opportunity to advance as Techpriests. We should have taken advantage of getting beheaded to attach suspensors to our head and discard more of our Flesh by becoming a Demi-Magos. Or better yet, do it anyway; add suspensors to our head, turn our body + armor into a servitor, and add a little escape rocket, too, we'd be like, Krang leading the Foot Clan to crush those foul mutants!
Oh, and you should totally add some mechadendrites to dangle from your neck, like with weapons and stuff, so the next time someone cuts off your head, you can return the favor! And steal their body too, for good measure.

"For the Emperor."

There was a terrible noise.
There was a terrible silence.



hey all! I enjoyed my break, and it looks like everyone else here did too :D been listening to a couple good podcasts, nightvale, history of byzantium, still alive. Good stuff. that’s said, on with the show!

today’s music: manson’s eat me drink me

We’re back


They called it the Manor, but it was really more of a fortress-city.

Set in one of the most calm and beautiful inlets on the entire planet, it was wrapped in (and set upon) an army of coral. A dozen smaller islands surrounded it, holy glyphs a kilometer long, sigils of faith and belief. Monastery barracks were built on top of them, ready to deploy at a moment’s notice, and in the sky a hundred helicopters flew like dragonflies. And at night, you could see a handful of Navy ships in orbit, like stars.

Spires and minarets half a kilometer high stretched towards the sky, and supporting buildings weaved their way between them. You could walk between them on gossamer bridges, trusting in the structures of the Imperium to keep you safe. In all the long centuries this world had been colonized, no one had ever been known to fall.

While there were a thousand - ten thousand - private islands for the rich and aristocratic to pass the time, this was where things happened. If you wanted to network, meet old friends, duel old enemies, this was the place. It was solely the place of the Imperium, with minimal influence of the Mechanicus, and none at all of xeno or mutant. There were a billion people on this world, but you wouldn’t know it from here.

The richest - most powerful, most feted and adored - people came here. Both as vacation from their home planets, and work of their own sort. It was a pleasant time, to be passing days in the company of your equals, as opposed to the dregs you commanded. The only place you could really stop slumming it, as it were. Everyone here was somebody, or at least everyone who mattered.

And if there were rumors of hedonistic cults, and an excess of debauchery, well. Those were always rumors.
