                Because the age of strife needed to happen. The technology needed to be lost because unchecked human technological advancement just got them men of iron.
                All the tech that is needed to fulfill the emperor's plan is out there, and the Mechanicus are the stewards of that and making sure that there aren't too many advancements that lead to more opportunities to accidentally the whole human race.

                Bro actually fricking look at what they have done in 10,000 years without the emperor.
                Do you think that giving them MORE destructive powerful would make things better?
                God Emperor of mankind is not just a little bit cribbed from God Emperor of Dune. Leto II's whole thing wasn't DURR I WANT TO RULE THE HUMAN RACE FOREVER! Instead it was about the golden path, arranging a scenario in this case where peace and tranquility was enforced with an iron boot until the human species as a whole evolved several mechanisms to kill a god and lynch any person ever promising Peace and Stability at the cost of stagnation and their Liberty, because the end game was creating a species that was able to spread across the universe and be too numerous to ever be under threat of being under the control of one authority ever again that could bring them into the same death spiral the spice and prescience had put them in.
                I don't think that's the same goal as the emperor of mankind, but the age of strife, and the following dark age, are all part of a bigger plan.
                The emperor was also among other things a scientific genius who had lived through those time periods. That technology being lost is intentional.
                The Mechanicus believe that they will find what they need when they need it, and fricking around with science and invention is borderline heretical.
                This is also a setting where chaos can corrupt technology, and the more advanced, the more susceptible it is.

                He has more enemies than allies in the mechanicus and the empire, but he's effective and always the smartest man in the room.
                He also personally knew the emperor (kind of, its complicated). It's better to have him around and on your side if you can't have him dead.

        I had a lot of fun with these so I agree that they're good, at least for me.

        Necromunda was ALMOST really fricking good
        It had fluid gameplay, an excellent ingame world and decent AI, but Streumon, for whatever reason, decided to strip the game of the RPG mechanics that EYE had and effectively ruin its potential.

        I'm hopeful about darktide, but it's most likely going to just be a reskin of vermintide with no PvP mode, which is what carried L4d1/2's replayability and made it a god of the genre.

        True, Necromunda needed a bit more EYE, shame they didn't decide to keep more of what they got right.
        Also, I fricking loved Vermintide, all the violence feels real good and it's fun in general.
        >I'm hopeful about darktide, but it's most likely going to just be a reskin of vermintide
        For me, only thing Vermintide was missing is "40 000", so I'm expecting a lot of fun from Darktide.

    Ahem.
    It's good, great in parts, but could've done with just a bit more design thought and a lot more variety. It's like X-Com 2012 quality. Which means it's not as flexible and long term engaging as X-Com 2, but also not as unfocusedly moronic as X-Com 2. If they do an expansion with more chaos variety in units, abilities and tactics, and maybe introduce vehicles and dreadknights in some capacity, maybe have Exorcists, Red Hunters and SoB or other inquisition support, it'll be fantastic.

The Golden Throne is failing and the High Lords are apparently desperate enough to try sneaking deldar haemonculuses into the throne room to fix it. Why not just ask Roboute's big titty space goth gf to do it instead of those lunatics?

        If the emperor dies then it would take a bit for him to come back
        During this time that would give daemons to come into the throne room in droves and the Astronomican would go out and make every ship going and still in the warp to get lost
        The risk is too great even if it will bring him back

      Don't think it was just a case of Yvraine casting revive and cure 4. Robby was in stasis having suffered a mortal wound. The armor was needed in addition to Yvraine to restore and sustain him.
      Biggy was far more grievously wounded, is required in situ to control the astronomican, his physical form is all but decayed to dust and bones with his soul bound to it, and that soul is partially aoptheosised to the point where he's basically becoming a warp entity on par with the chaos gods. He will ascend to full "godhood" before his physical body could be restored, and probably create an avatar physical form as a resurrection with part of his soul for 41K. So there will be the father (the corpse on the throne), the son (the resurrected goldboy) and the holy spirit (the warp entity). Dawkins btfo.

If the morons of Commoragh are willing to entertain this deal then I don't see why the craftworld eldar wouldn't. If for no other reason than Emps resurrecting = Slaanesh getting btfo, and their current plan for btfoing Slaanesh involves their entire species committing sudoku.

        Emps being needed in-situ to power the Astronomicon isn't as big a risk as you might think because the Golden Throne is malfunctioning. If the revival doesn't work, Emps dies and the Imperium is dead. But that's what happens anyways if they don't try at all. So you might as well go for it.

      First, Emps ailment is a lot more different than girlyman. Roubutte was put on a 10 millenia coma because he got shanked by Fulgrim using a sword with superAIDS, and since nobody knew what the frick to do, they putted him in stasis.
      Meabwhike Emps had part of his whole soul broken, metaphysically and metaphorically. Like suddendly loosing most of your enthropy and energy to do basically anything with your own body.
      You could cure superAIDS with magic and science BS, but good luck trying to fix something you lack on the first place.
      In Cawls case, the whole mechanicus has been trying to figure out what the frick to do without breaking everything appart, which is difficult, especially since emps throne is almost a mix of human tech and xeno tech. In Yvarines case, im not exactly sure, but might be something similar to fricking Josuke from JJBA: you can cure and morph other people, but once the soul its out of the body its not going back inside. As far as i remember, every single time Yvrine has healed someone it was still retaining its soul one way or another, even Ahrimans walking Tin Cans of dust.
      Emps is literally a corpse with just part of his soul on it, so reviving him in his current state would be practically pointless, and im not even sure that in his state the perpetual powers might kick in if he kicks the bucket. And if he does, that means Terra gets send to the Shadow realm.
      Probably the only ones who might have any idea of how the Throne works are either Emps himself, alien sick fricks, or Fabulus Bile the science guy, however if Emps could but haven't said anything its most likely he trusts no one with that info, that he has forgot about, or something else. And Bile is defiently not going to help at all, and the idea of how it might work might be to crude and incomplete.
      So the remainig choice its the sick fricks.
      And so far, it seems that they either don't even know what the frick they are doing or they don't do anything.

Big E runs in looking for the toilet. Horus stands up to say "it wasn't me" about Sanguinius. Horus slips on Sang's piss puddle at the top of the stairs, Big E slips on the banana Horus spat out, they prat fall towards one another, crack their skulls right on each other, fall backwards awkward and bang their heads on the stone floor. Horus dies from a brain bleed, Big E is rendered parapalegic.

                Don't they have some kind of soul storage on craftworlds to prevent this from happening? Craftworlds should be extremely high priority targets because of that. Considering that they aren't that large, and group of Imperial design warships that chaosgays employ should be able to overwhelm one assuming they catch it, strange how Slaaneshi warbands that have fleets don't spend their time exclusively doing that.

            Being a sacrifice for the emperor is the best option for a psyker. They're treated extremely well and pampered while they wait for their number to be called.
            For everyone else you just get weaponized, persecuted and lynched, or a daemon crawls out of your head.

      People seem to misunderstand the resurrection of Guilliman. It wasn't just a random group of elves using death magic to resurrect him, it was Cawl spending 12000 years developing the armor of fate, Guilliman dying momentarily, the Emperor pushing his influence AND elf death magic all happening at the right time. The Ynnari wouldn't be able to just regenerate the whole Emperor like it was nothing, that's way beyond them. The other problem is that even if he was "resurrected", he wouldn't be the same emperor as he was in 30k and still wouldn't be able to leave the golden throne for a number of different reasons. Guilliman likely doesn't even want the Emperor resurrected after getting mindraped by the warp monstrosity he's become over the last 10k years.

      Clearly this is a job for the boyz in green.
      Get Orkimedes/Grotsnik to go fiddle with the golden throne to get it working right proppa, then just go around convincing all the Orks that the emperor has revived and there's going to be a sweet ass fight.
      Now, WAAAGH!!! power is often overstated and memed, but in this case the belief will spread so far and wide that the emperor will practically glow green upon revival.
      Only issue then would be that the entire collective Ork society would all be united and running to Terra looking for a scrap...

    Necromunda was ALMOST really fricking good
    It had fluid gameplay, an excellent ingame world and decent AI, but Streumon, for whatever reason, decided to strip the game of the RPG mechanics that EYE had and effectively ruin its potential.

    I'm hopeful about darktide, but it's most likely going to just be a reskin of vermintide with no PvP mode, which is what carried L4d1/2's replayability and made it a god of the genre.

      I'm just surprised Necromunda was almost completely forgotten about with time. Like it was definitely rough, what with how the grapple hook, wall running, and the at-launch execution chaining worked, but otherwise I still genuinely found the game to be completely breasts. Despite that, it barely gets brought up in threads and it seems like people at large had forgotten it.

      Maybe it's because it doesn't have the Warhammer name on it or some other nonsense, but it's just strange it had fallen almost completely out of the world

            Artificial minds without souls are open vessels for demons. Abominations!

            So AI has to be kept very simple to be generally safe, but Men of Iron were artificial general intelligences, hence the corruption both in the distant past and in the few cases they've been discovered in 40k outside of maybe UR-025. While simple computers (cogitators) are pretty common in 40k, the advanced cogitators rely on parts of human brains to do the calculations and get around that hazard and the "no AI" law.

      Suppose an explorer found a complete STC blueprint for an Imperator class titan or ship, how much would the Mechanicus pay for it? Would they pay or just kill him and take it?

      • 2 years ago
        Anonymous

        Would probably bargain a 'finder's fee' in the form of a larger ship or upgraded arsenal, which the Mechanicus would consider a small price to pay. If he tried to haggle they'd shoot him dead and pick it off his corpse.

        I'm not familiar with 40k lore at all but I just like the idea of this emperor sitting there, barely a skeleton but still taking in a massive amount of information fed through all of those little cables coming from wherever and then coming up with a decision.

        I remember some anon here talking about how he's actually almost dead but sheer [something] is keeping him alive or something.

        The Emperor IS dead. His body is just the anchor that allows him to stay connected to the Imperium and help protect it. If he was ever disconnected it would cause the effective end of the galaxy, not to mention mankind at large.

        In the gaunt's ghost books they mention that the last guard unit who found an intact STC were all given their own planets to rule, and those were just plans to make a slightly bigger knife.
        In the same book they discover the stc for making men of iron but they blow it all up since AI is heresy, because the planet was corrupted by chaos, and ultimately because it was dangerous to put that power in anyone's hands.

        Wouldn't it be more likely for a titan STC to be the Castigator class or very similar, current Imperial titans are basically babies first Titan compared to what they had in the DAoT.
        Imperator classes aren't lost technology yet either, some forgeworlds can produce them but rarely do because it's more cost and time effective to build multiple warlords instead.

      I think it's a good but incomplete game.

        and the guy that does it is the voice of SETTRA THE IMPERISHABLE in WH2

        I really liked it.

        Very good. Used a free audible credit to buy it, man I felt kinda guilty I got such a gem for free.

          I forgot to mention that Richard Reed also does the reading for Twice Dead King

          I'd also recommend the Twice Dead King if you want some more Necronkino.
          It's more about suffering and necron politics than a wacky adventure though.

          Absolutely would recommend picking up both of those when you're done with Infinite and the Divine

      Sell me on the nids, bro

      • 2 years ago
        Anonymous

        the nids are theoretically one of, if not, the most powerful faction in 40k but in reality in 9 out of 10 engagements in the lore, they get fricked on by space marines or some other faction because they can't let the bugs get a win once in a while.

        i dont know how to sell em to you but to me however, they are still the coolest and most alien faction in all of 40k and i love them for it. as soon as i saw them i pretty much gravitated towards them and thats what sold me off on them. Just a never-ending hivemind of enormous proportions that the universe of 40k potentially still hasn't seen yet in its entirety, making them a threat to anything that has a single cell in their body.

        I love nids, they are my favourite <3

          Nids can't "win" because Nids have no capacity to take and hold territory leading to some kind of long term status quo reset. They eat, they grow bigger, the spread. Anything less would be lore inaccurate unless you do the same thing to Nids they did with Necrons and soften their edge, which isn't fun.

          They're also the most utilitarian race; they're not killing out of bloodthirst, some delusion of grandeur or to sate some immaterial god frickos who sit on their asses all day. They're eating literally everything to preserve and make use of whatever genetic qualities other races may have. Once the Milky Way has been consumed it will be teeming with life... until the Tyranids sniff out another galaxy full of wasteful meat, lightyears away.

        Nids win in the end.
        The only possible counter to the nids is the combined might of the entire Necron race, which will likely never happen.
        Every tyranid fleet is a near apocalyptic event and they are all just the tiniest tendrils of the entire hive mind
        They also actively counter the warp just by existing in large numbers

          Pfft, Nids will get crippled eventually. They're dumb as frick, a lot of them starve in space from basic trickery, and when two fleets meet one will eat the other, strenghtening the hive as a whole but rather helping everyone else. And even in the worst what-if scenario they can't do shit to the Necrons besides inconveniencing them by robbing them of potential bodies.

          The implication is that they Tyranids are on the run from something.
          The silent king of the necrons after he ordered the necrons to go to sleep and wait out this warp shenanigans he fricked off in an FTL ship intending to never return to the milky way as his penance for dooming his entire race to be soulless robots.
          When he saw the first tyranid fleet he got so spooked he turned tail and ran back to start alerting the tomb worlds of the threat.
          The Necrons are also partially interested in regaining their souls and becoming flesh and blood beings again, and if all the biological races are killed off then there isn't anything out there that can help them regain what they lost.

      so we had new space marines after 10,000 years and a couple of the primarchs came back (good and bad) and cadia finally got toasted by abbadon and everything seemed to be about ready for a time skip into the new and probably worse "warhammer 41k" but then it was awkwardly frozen into equilibrium instead. Probably for the best though

          they blew up the fantasy world and lots of factions and units became "yeah they all literally died and you can't buy them models anymore and they're not part of the new game" and if your stuff sold well enough to survive all that history and lore from the fantasy world was replaced by stuff like this pic

          And it happened right at the time fantasy tabletop was starting to grow again thanks to warhammer total war

          AOS turned out to be such a blunder that a few years ago GW announced they're bringing fantasy back. They're not going to try it in 40k, despite the intention having been obvious.

              AoS 1st edition came out 6 months before Warhammer Total War, so GW had new customers walking into stores trying to get into fantasy only to be told "we don't sell thing you want to buy" and to play the much sparser AoS instead.

              Its the ultimate irony of the fantasy debacle.
              GW finally fricking opened up their licence and started letting other companies make shit for the old world, vermin tide and Total warhammer were the first 2 big iterations and they were a smash fricking hit beyond anyones guess. And in the same 6 month span they ended up nuking the fantasy universe so all the things that these new fans were getting drawn into, they had to go into a GW store and be told "Oh yeah we blew it all up."

              At that time i was really big into the local GW store because it had just opened up and i was wanting to support them, and it was almost painful having to watch and or explain myself to new people "Yeah that world is gone." And almost no one gives a shit about AoS story/settings, even the most die hard AoS fans cant stay it with a strait face or look you in the eyes as they say the setting and story is ok, because even they know its hot fricking garabe. The fact GW is putting out "The old world" is more or less poof they fricked up

                I'm that guy.
                I have played an unhealthy amount of vermintide and total warhammer.

                I had a general interest in maybe starting up the tabletop hobby, so im not just sitting in front of a computer all the time.
                When I looked into it and all I saw was the Sigmar stuff, I lost interest.

      The problem isn't the emperor coming back. He's a perpetual, as soon as he "dies" he would regenerate.
      The problem is if his ass is off the golden throne for even a moment the astronomican goes dark (the beacon that allows people to navigate in the warp) which would isolate all the regions of the imperium.
      It would also open up a new eye of terror on earth which has implications for everyone. Not to mention a c'tan is imprisoned deep in mars, that would now be loose.

      imperiumgays literally ruined the galaxy, their shithole of an empire backstabbed the Interex. The *only* reason chaos has the power it has was because little b***hboy Horus inherited the psychopathic disregard for other people of his father.

            HH is full of weird shit. You now remember the time when Emps let all of Angron's friends get killed instead of glassing their enemies from orbit with the giant fleet he had brought with him to kill those very same enemies anyways (which he actually did end up doing later as well, just after all of Angron's friends were dead), which basically turned Angron traitor from minute 1.

            Because that's what makes the fall more tragic.
            When out of all the angles in heaven it was the most beautiful one that fell to earth it was more impactful that the mightiest of them fell.

            It is more impactful that the first among equals and the greatest brother is the one to fall.

        Tanks rattle and guns shoot, that's it. There's no voice acting, ZERO, outside of the intro cutscene. It boggles the fricking mind, you make 40 40k games with full voice acting and you instead of reusing literally any audio asset at all from 40,000 hours of recorded dialogue you just say "ehh frick it" and write in some text blurbs over the units's heads instead
