35:36 The reason is pretty much that the Guard outnumber the Space Marines to a frankly silly degree. There are countless trillions of guardsmen across the galaxy, and total casualty rates of billions per day is considered all well and good, but Space Marines are so much more rare abd expebsive to make and maintain.

A note on the assassins. The Imperium has a lot of soldiers, true but it also has many enemies and a lot of teritory to defend, they are often stretched thin. If one person can take care of an issue then why send an army that is needed elsewhere? Common use for the Vindicare: You'll see them in part 2, but orks are mostly happy killing each other. From time to time one particularly big/mean ork will dominate the other tribes in his area and start crusading towards human planets. This almost always devolves into a massive meat-grinder, alternatively you can post spy satalites around ork worlds and as soon as you see the constant infighting stop send a Vindicare in, One really large caliber round later and the orks are back to infighting and the problem is averted. Common use for the Eversor: Not all worlds fall to aliens/chaos, sometimes the native humans just start questioning on whether or not they really *need* the Imperium, you could send a military force to "keep the peace"... or you can send in a drugged up John Wick and tell him those people down there killed his puppy. People will quickly put together that the homes being turned into charnel houses were owned by those critical of the most benevolent Imperium and will hopefuly stop associating with such malcontents from now on.

[@Bladedcloud6159]

If I remember correctly, weren't they the ones that killed the major Tau leader Ethereal Aun'Va?

[@kinagrill]

Vindicare - we need one target dead, no collaterals. Eversor - We need something to die, we do not care about collaterals. Callidus - We need someone to die and no one should be aware they are even dead. Culexus - We need someone to die and die horribly in fear and pain... and they are possibly a psyker so we sent an anti-psyker to rip their soul away.

Brickster expanded on the "innocence proves nothing" in the Inquisitor video, by pointing out that while most warp daemons, upon getting a new body, go "sweet, New toy!" and wreck shit, some can just chill in the back of your mind, only taking over at key points to perform subtle sabotage, all you know is that you blacked out, and considering what your job is, that would be 100% understandable

If you even approach being a suspect, it means you're not innocent enough... thus innocence proves nothing.

1:43:01 that right there is why for some Female Custodes is such a hot topic because the way they went about it basically side stepped the Sisters of Silence in regards to importance and we only got one new model that doesn’t even represent the lore change. Just leaving the feeling that it was something changed just for the sake of making a change.

[@RocRolDis]

It's that and the community manager, with no correction from GW, saying that there have always been female custodes despite every piece of lore in every book saying that they're males. It's a grossly clumsy retcon and could have been easily been much less of an issue if they had said that they had recently started taking female recruits.

[@Shiftry87]

Its a mess right now thats for sure but i can atleast understand why they dident wanna use the Sisters of Silence as they dont speak and a mute character in a tv series can be problematic sometimes if not done correct. But there resoning for avoiding the Sisters of Battle was just brain dead. Too religious? Do they even know what universe they are stepping into.

[@johnj.spurgin7037]

Yep. Shafting genuinely cool female combatants in favor of a tokenist retcon that dimminishes the flavor of the faction for the sake of "diversity." Their handling of the controversy was akin to pouring gasoline on the fire.

[@johnj.spurgin7037]

@@RocRolDis I mean, even taking female recruits raises an in-universe issue because Big E didn't want to replace humanity with transhumanity, and a breeding population of demigods is INCREDIBLY at risk of leading to that. There's in-universe reasons to not do it at all, but yes new female recruits would at least have been LESS of a firebomb to the community. The biggest mistake though is from a business perspective. The lore is the only thing that makes GW's businessmodel WORK. 3D printing is cheaper than GW products, so brand loyalty based on their lore is the only reason they can stay in business. This controversy is going to cost them customers, and they can't afford to lose them. Then they raised their prices. Again. It's like watching a monkey shoot itself in the foot.

Regarding the Mechanicus and the Machine Spirits, it's largely left to the individual whether to believe it or not. There is some evidence that Machine Spirits exist and that the Mechanicus' rituals keep them content, but at the same time many of the Mechanicus' rituals look suspiciously similar to regular maintenance needed by machines to operate.

[@L3ttuc3]

I've always taken the view that the machine spirit is just integrated AI leftover from the dark age and Incorporated into all the tech. And we never get a clear indication of what their prayers entail, but it is hinted at a few times that the "language" used in prayer etc might be effectively binary. So I feel like it's most likely that the "prayers" are actually code that nobody fully understands that orders the AI in the machine to do whatever it does. It makes sense if you think that source code for lost tech would effectively just look like an ancient language and would carry mystical undertones if you didn't know where it came from, only that when you say certain words to your gun it starts working. I think that makes more sense than an actual machine spirit permeating their tech. But who knows what the hard canon is on the subject.

[@rokkraljkolesa9317]

to add to this: even in current day, people find bizzare solutions to fix shit exhibit A: "close the window, you're letting the wi-fi out", a screenshot of a League of Legends chat exhibit B: percussive maintenance exhibit C: ask any maintenance engineer about weird fixes they figured out

[@KeytarArgonian]

My headcanon says if the entities of the warp can be born of a mass belief or psychic echo of a large group that coalesces into a sentient being, there’s absolutely nothing that states that there isn’t a significant chance of there eventually being a ‘spirit of technology’ being born in the warp.

[@fadelsukoco3092]

And there is also the Talisman of Seven Hammers, which is a dead-man switch on the Golden Throne that will obliterate Terra and at least a good chunk of no of the system to purge it from being taken or consumed by Chaos. Either way, if the Emperor dies, the Astronomicon goes with him and any & all human FTL travel becomes nearly impossible.

[@fosterbennington6405]

I mean, the Cicatrix Maledictum is getting a bit lonely there

[@lonespartan1216]

Wouldn't him sitting on the throne cause that warp storm? I mean terra and its immediate surroundings are under his control(which is why the 4 chaos lords haven't been sending hundreds of millions of strikes that they like to do.), and it should be growing bigger due to all the souls and deaths at the center of said storm to keep him alive, and he also was stopped mid experiment on his own webway to work around the warp to travel, which was all planned by tzeentch indirectly to cause Neoh (Big E) to become injured and put on said throne, because the chaos lords couldn't directly or indirectly effect things near Big E without him beating the shit out of them and taking their lunch money. Even while a half a galaxy away and in several layers of the warp, or even in a Chaos lords domain the chaos lords do not dare act overtly, because Big E has, can, and will reach over and throw soul hands with them and win unless 3 and even 4 of them focus on blocking him, depending on how close to Big E they are and how willing Big E is to do something. Essentially they couldn't kill John wick after torturing and drugging his dog just to force him to end the dog himself, then they (indirectly) crippled him trying to end him(best case scenario for the chaos lords), and yet he comes limping at them with a will to take one or more of them with him and they manipulate his own family to chain him down to the bed for him to heal... and yet he can and will jump out a window to shank them if they dare throw a brick through his window. And the only reason all the chaos lords don't jump him together is because all of them will be permanently injured/weakened or outright killed, and then the others will try to end them by snapping up whatever they have in the warp while they are weak. A perfect stalemate, but one that will end with Big E throwing hands with a fury that will instill fear in the surviving chaos lords.

[@marmyeater]

@@lonespartan1216 Your comment seems to say a lot of different things, and I can't divine the point of the latter half, so I'm going to focus on just the first. The storm he's holding back was caused by the attack on Terra, and because his presence destroys Kaos the sacrifices shouldn't be making it grow. The best thing that could happen right now is one of his psyker sons to sit on the throne to hold it until he can pull his soul fragments together, and fix the Warp problems on Terra. Magnus or Lorgar (if they managed to be redeemed like he plans) would be the best choices, but Corvus and maybe Leman or Jaghatai would likely work if the emperor could do it quickly.

The sisters of silence end the custodians where are the duality of man and women literally defending the soul of humanity. It's the reason I have an issue with the lore and the way it was changed was implement with no regard to that. It was a beautiful statement inside of this world that both men and women were needed to truly fight against chaos. Yet with the inclusion of female custodians that metaphor is destroyed. It is a sad treatment of a once very unique story.

[@woaddragon]

Well, I disagree. If you look at some of the earliest material written about the Sister of Silences, they not the " duality of men and woman protecting the soulof humanity. " They blank Sister of battle. If you look in the adventure on the black ship in several sister of battle novel, well, it right there. It not until the writing of the Horus Heresey, when the Custodies went to war, did the Sisters of Silence role " changed" While I can understand the duality, that can be determined by roles and abilities, not just gender. A brother of silence and a female Custodian will do the same.

[@WS-nh3qe]

@@woaddragon I can agree with that sentiment but that isn't what is being shown. The change was unceremoniously dumped on us in a side story on a codex. Then given the 1984 treatment that this has always been. It treated lore and fans of it with disrespect. The change could have happened male sister of silence female custodians all could happen and exist with care and reason. Yet what we got was something clearly done for political reason with a half-assed story it added nothing for the change of gender or inclusion at this point. Look at the changes to the necrons as a great example. Here we had a relative unknown with a simplistic backstory. One that was totally rewritten for the sake of the story and as such we got a much more well-rounded and flushed out faction. That further expanded the world. It might be they find a way to do that as well with custodians. I am not writing off the possibility but the way the introduction was handled has most definitely undercut that hope.

[@woaddragon]

@@WS-nh3qe I can agree that the lore dump could be handled.better, but it not like massive changes of the lore had been dump down in indifference before. The " disappearance" squats, the " they were eaten by Tyrinids" came in a back of a white dwarf magazine, and their reappearance is basically " they always been there." Is it done for political reasons, Maybe. personal I believe that was the case, it would have been a bigger deal, with actual announcements and new models.i have a theory that this was more like planting the seeds, much like small hint about the coming of the League of Votann, but then people noticed. Now Aaron Dembski-Bowden, and apparently other Black library writers want to be female Adeptus Custodies for over a decade, but was told no.

Has received no model support. The immense and immediate attack on those that raised objects. The call everyone who disagree or was disappointed with the disrespect sexist despite the representation already in the setting. I mean I can go on but the point boils down that it seems that there was no reason for the change except to placate a political ideology as it went against existing lore without adding any significance to the faction. Unless you have a reason for the change beyond that. Which I would be happy to hear.

58:38 Simple: the Emperor manage to trick the Mechanicus into believing that he himself was the Omnisaiah after demonstrating a level of mechanical expertise that far surpassed their best. So technically they do worship the Emperor in a roundabout way. So long as that's the case, and the Mechanicus provides their materials to the Imperium, I imagine that the Ecclesiarchy is willing to be a little lenient. It's sort of like the way that the 3 Abrahamic religions still worship the same God despite being different faiths and giving Him different names. And yes, Machine Spirits are legitimate things, especially when dealing with the big mechs an titans.

actually when he dies, a binary super-explosive goes fusion in his body and takes out a sizable area around the assassin in micro-sun for a nano-second.

​@@Kebin13Since a century or so we tend to distinguish between our minds and our bodies. However these are inherently intertwined. Higher pain does affect our ability to reason etc. In the entire down of human history we had a holistic point of view most of the time. Even more so as we also did find members of the same family guilty at times. This has also some merit as by punishing you want this crime not to happen again. If the reason for the offense was sociological and not genetic, which is most of the time, then for the sake of society it might be practical to get rid of all potentially tainted people. So now I'm going back on point. Even if your mind did nothing wrong, you had no ill intent and were simply manipulated you still did the deed. Not others but specifically you. As a deterrent for others and as to not getting into details why you did the act it might be beneficial to get rid of you. This line of thought is simple to follow if you use just secular reasoning and try to see people not as sacred individuals but as complex systems interacting with one another.

Mechanicus wise it’s not as simple as they just make all the stuff. The mechanicus itself it’s divided into dozens of factions. One of them is that the belief that the emperor is the omnisiah. So a big faction still do worship him.

[@BigFatSoul]

It’s not faction, one of a part of a Mars treaty, which regulates mars/terra(mechanicus/imperium) relationship states that mechanicus agree that emperor is avatar of god machine(omnissiah) and that’s a reason why mars is somewhat subservient to imperium, yet enjoys insane autonomy. Under mars treaty every tech priest is UNTOUCHABLE by any imperial jurisdiction short of inquisition, and even inquisition still is very wary of prosecuting them without very solid proof, and without some extreme circumstances. They usually will just trade them back to mechanicus, with a naughty list of priest action, so fabricator general can judge him with his authority within priesthood and on their own terms.

1:18:13 The problem with female Custodians is that the Custodes were an all-male force for the last 30+ years, and the small Piece of fluff in the Custodes codex was not only the first time a female Custodian was mentioned EVER and the way Games Workshop responded to the lore nerds like myself after raising the question as to why female Custodians are suddenly a thing now was just “They were always there!” They could have done something similar to Belisarius Caul’s creation of the Primaris Astartes and said he found some optimization in the process of creating a Custodes that allowed for a wider range of candidates, that would have been somewhat understandable and consistent with the lore if they truly wanted to write more women into the setting. But no, they insulted the fan’s intelligence and brought into uncertainty one of the most CONCRETE facts about one of the most important forces in the imperium. That is why people are angry.

[@fadelsukoco3092]

31:57 The main reason why the Imperium was akways so xenophobic was that bsck during the Dark Age of Technology, humanity was the uncontested greatest civilization in the physical galaxy, second only to the Eldar, who were too busy debauchery-maxxing to really care and whose tech could stop any outside threats. Himanity had either made alliances, conquered, or neutralized any alien power it came across, and when the AI decoded to screw everything up, it wasn't just Humanity that suffered for it, it was the entire non-Eldar galaxy. Countless species and civilizations likely were crippled or wiped out in the conflict before a grand alliance of various human and alien factions managed to put an end to the chaos. However, by then, humanity had heen crippled and combined with the Warp vecoming more unstable and psykers and demons popping up everywhere, many alien species who survived the AI galactic war would blame humanity for being the cause of the damage and want to get revenge. There were also many other aliem species who were previously surpressed or conquered by humanity in the past who would want to get back at them, and those who just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to prey on the now-weakened humans. Thus, whenever humans and aliens onteracted after the Dark Age of Technology, it usually resulted in a pretty shit time for any humans involved. Therefore, by the time that the Imperium started to properly get going, the human species had been generationally traumatized into viewing aliens with paranoia and hatred, and it made more sense for them to just asume that the aliens are all hostie instead of risking being betrayed again. Of course, thete wrre some aliens who were just minding their own business, and even some ehi made alliances and integrated with human remnant civilizations, but to the Imperium, they couldn't take any chances.

[@kinagrill]

It's because humanity needs to. There's Megadeath spiders, there's maggot-men creatures, there's the necrons, the eldar and their S&M cousins, the Orks, just about any primitive-species out there going chaos worshippy, and of course the Tyranids.

When everything else in the universe is a genetically and cybernetically enhanced supersoldier, an alien with technology so advanced it's functionally indistinguishable from magic, literal demons from actual Hell, or an intergalactic eating machine, these men and women take to the field with nothing but a flak jacket, a glorified laser pointer, and _balls of steel._

You can't call anything that big an "ethnostate" with a million worlds and thousands, if not tens of thousands of years of genetic drift and cultural change every which way, world to world. The Imperium of Man is an extremely diverse feudal empire, which often creates Austro-Hungarian Empire levels of dysfunction in what can vaguely be defined as "conventional" military actions due to sketchy logistics, culture clashes, and various authorities butting heads. This is a routine problem in lore. When it works, it works, but it usually doesn't.

For accuracy one should probbaly say something like 'speciestate' but that isn't a thing in reality and would not have the associated connotations of racism or discrimination.

On the topic of 'boob-armor', it 'guiding the blade to the heart' would be meaningless as the armor is made of metal. If a blade is going to cut through plate armor, the armor wasn't going to protect you anyways. There are also examples in history, while not boobs, are male breasts, such as worn by the Romans to show off their masculinity by adding pecks and a six-pack. A good counter-point could be 'it could help it get to your neck', but neck protection can be easily added, such as a bevor. Secondly, there are many armors that are impractical that have been worn due to aesthetics or ideologic reasons. (shlong amor being a good example).
