How come no one wants to think that humans are the going to be the "great old ones" who go on to gently caress up the galaxy for future species? I'm sure if we put the effort in we can use up half the galaxy's resources, make psychotic mushrooms, several satans and piss off some robot mummys.

Lovely Joe Stalin posted:More to the point, every Black Crusade had a specific objective which was met. The Imperium not knowing what that objective was rather being the point. Just got done reading the Gathering Storm books last night and there's still pylon world's out there he just took out enough to throw the system out of wack. G-man's girlfriend went looking for them.

Also if you step out of your caste's lane you get disappeared. There's a water caste in Blade of Damocles hiding a sculpture she made because if people learn about it she'll be taken for reeducation which most people don't return from. The only reason Farsight got away with it was him being a big hero.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:Before you criticize a name for being dumb, remember that the Land Raider and Land Speeder are canonically called that because the dude who discovered them was named Land. And Arkhan spent the rest of his life mad that everyone kept calling it a Land Raider instead of Land's Raider.

That's the entire purpose of Dreadnoughts isn't it. You have a dying veteran with hundreds of years experience and want to keep him around. Legio Cybernetica was a thing in 30k and it's still around in 40k to make all the battle robots the imperium needs.

SlothfulCobra posted:The Imperial Guard usually die much more, but I assume that there's some kind of retirement age or limit to your tours of duty. If only because if they regularly shoved elderly guardsmen to the front to die, the fluff wouldn't shut up about that. There's an Eisenhorn story about a retired group the guard that go nuts from chaos/xeno ptsd and start murdering people. Its been a while since I read it but I think the first Ghosts novel says something about guard regiments being used to found planetary governments on worlds they bring into compliance.
