Hate to say it but Faith Powers are still based on the warp for they are drawn from the users willpower, convictions and belief in the Emperor, allowing them to essentially borrow some of his power. This however, following the laws of the universe, means you still need access to the warp in order to call upon your Faith. In a massive nullzone the SoBs Faith Powers should be nullified like any other psychic ability. I am guessing GW want to differentiate the Faith from Psychic powers but they are both at the end of the day 'soul magic'.

[@MZ-9993]

I think it’s a case of faith powers from a collective group being resontating stronger than individual pskyers and maybe a case of Emperor’s hand fighting the null zone directly there. We know that „faith” based powers and Living Saints are still warp fueled, we saw that with Celestine on Cadia

[@RoboEdonista]

I considered it as a different kind of null field. The one on Cadia was tailored for the Old Ones and their general WARP magick and as such it encompasses all kind of warp emanations. The Imperial Faith is a "different" kind of warp that the Necrons haven't examined before. That's why Szeras wishes to examine as much of it as possible. As to tune the Pariah matrix to cover this new hue of warp energy that the new devixe is not yet attuned to. contrary to the pylon on Cadia, these ones seem to focus specifically on the chaos tainted warp. this is why it affects humans more than the ones that were on Cadia.

[@dualityomk9854]

@@RoboEdonista its all the same general pool when you look at it scientificly. the emperors warp ability is the anathema to the 4 powers but it still derives from a base energy just a gravity can be countered by magnetisim, thermal expansion and many more variations of energy transfer

I dont expect a Guardsman to be a Apace Marine, We already have space marines, they are called Space marines. But i feel recent fluff has failed to show the Discipline, courage and determination of the guard properly. And i thing they dont deserve that. I mean in this one,all they got to do was show how dire the situation is,by repeatedly failing to accomplish anything.

@@jeova0sanctus0unus Ok, yeah I see what your saying. And I havent really been keeping up with newer lore. Sorry to hear that GW are pushing the "weak humans" perspective too much😟 Yeah in my mind guardsmen are super diverse, interesting and brave. I just meant that I like how they are still limited to what a human can feasibly achieve, bodily and mentaly. Living on deathworlds and fighting any foe in 40k aint no joke!

[@blumiu2426]

@@zanmatoshin877 It seems like 40K is heading into the "X-Man" territory. You're special or you're not and of little effect. There are a few problems when you take this stance. 1) The supposed "religious" component is always traditional, going through the motions, not actual belief when regulated within a military. Faith is a tool from what we've seen in history. 2) Humans are effected by chaos and nothing else and the only way to "evolve", even though it's mutation. Every advance has been done through science and tampering with what's already in place. 3) None but the Salamanders actually care about humanity, so common man is cannon fodder to just give numbers to how devastating an event is, though you'd think mankind would long be wiped out as much is going on. That's the problem with numbers game and how you know have jumps in faction numbers when their small numbers were meant to show how devastating the costs of events had been. I really enjoy the guardsman stories more as they are viscral and you understand a victory is immense against forces that could wipe them out without effort. Space Marines are the scifi-fantasy aspect that always end in a few victories, stale-mates even when they win, or they are outsmarted. It's the natural direction of something hinged on grim-dark until all are wiped out and they reset or reboot the universe.

@ around 10:40- that's an amusingly foolish example of the imperium's priorities. "A couple xenos ships inbound sir! Odd... they're skirting the system; they seem to be doing their best to avoid us. I think they're fleeing from something else sir!" "Thank you for your wholly unsolicited analysis of the situation." The captain replied, lazily pointing a finger at the junior officer. The messenger took a quick bolt round to the head & it was back to business as usual... they quickly annihilated the "threat", only to be slaughtered by the true danger that had been just over the horizon(yes, a space horizon). S'ok though, humans are cheap to replace. : D
