The Lion Unleashes MEN OF IRON | Warhammer 40K Lore

[@Eclipse-SSC]

War Thunder is not realistic, comprehensive or detailed in any way, it is a russian propaganda tool and russian copium simulator where they make everything soviet/russian absolutely blatantly overpowered and have every single aspect of their vehicles massively overperform while everyone else underperforms and doesn't get nearly as modern equipment as they give to the russians.

[@lance2005]

Before c'tan Was brought to mars the men of iron were created they existed before the mechanicum. The men of iron were created during humanity's zenith in technology. The power of the men of iron outclass all Primarks. The sheer technology that was lost during the age of darkness was mind boggling. Everything that is created nowadays use prefabricated machines. A sort of retarded AI takes whatever the mechanics think about and turn it into things. It's basically they mumble think about code and the retarded ai fabricates by interpretation. Kind of like charades with interpretive dance. And if you get it right, you get a plasma rifle. The men of iron can take hold of all machinery within their space. The dark angels don't have Is men of iron. They have something that kind of resemble something like Men of iron.. With sadomasochism tendencies.

[@Corristo89]

Hardly surprising that the God Emperor had plans to take out the Mechanicum (pre-Heresy Mechanicum, post-Heresy Adeptus Mechanicus). He could've brought them to heel, but the losses would've been so great that his plans for the Great Crusade would've been set back by centuries, if not millenia. After all, the Mechanicum was THE faction he needed in order to build, well, EVERYTHING. So the Mechanicum was granted incredible levels of autonomy within the Imperium, something they guard with a violent passion. But ultimately the Emperor couldn't tolerate an empire within his Imperium of Man, especially with the Mechanicum's rampant belief in the Omnissiah, the Machine God and that innovation was heresy.

[@Ali-c1s5i]

Interesting fact about those White Scars that helped the Lion: They were actually mistaken traitors unaware of the wider heresy that were helping the night lordsbut switched sides and sacrificed themselves to secure a Dark Angels victory

[@ArnoldJudasRimmer..]

Just an add on to this fantastic piece you have done, on how they actually control these abominations... 'The Excindio are kept under control by a crude severing of their logic stacks, a brutal truncation of that once limitless consciousness that keeps it bound to a single processing unit, an act akin to the blinding and deafening of any mortal scholar. Still each retains a phenomenal, if disturbingly inhuman, intelligence and is watched constantly for any sign of insubordination.'

My hope that in the future lore of 40K, is that the Imperium starts beating back the Tyranids, Chaos, and other threats because the Lion unleashes the Dark Age of Technology weapons that his Astartes currently don't have access to in the Rock and the Invincible Reason. Adding fuel to this fire, Belisarius Cawl gets a few samples of these weapons which he studies, and these studies allow him to put finishing touches on weapons and equipment that he's still working on and/or creates more mass producible and weaker versions of the Tech to give other Imperial forces.

Let us not forget the wells of Chaos and the monsters on Caliban that were used to test heroes, and these wells were guarded by an ultra secret, select set of knights called the Knights of Lupus. The construction of Hive archologies on these sites after the Emperor was reunited with the Lion led to the release of monsters (Decent of Angels). Discovery of these were what led Luther and the others sent back to Caliban as "instructors" to later become the "Fallen" (Fallen Angels).

So they brought back Guilliman before the Lion, so he could be the one to lead the imperium.

Something to also keep in mind is that these have to be some of the weaker men of iron since the men of iron ranged from space faring machines that could pull continents from planets to nanite swarms to strip people down to the bone. Personally hope that GW does some more with dark age stuff since we know that humanity at the time had time travel with the spirit of eternity and that they also had weaponized it with the flagship of mars which is a dark age ship which its dormant AI once decided to flex its muscles and made the ships armor plating shift and unleash weapons the mechanicus had never seen and had no idea were there which then fired a form of black cloud that grazed a eldar ship which then got a copy of it created several nanoseconds in the past causing the ship to destroy itself due to it.
