So, I was considering maybe making a ‘Mechanicus themed’ sisters of battle army, if that makes any sense. I was wondering, A, any advice for good peices or models to kitbash with to add on, to get that proper ‘augmented’ and ‘daughter of the ommnissiah’ feel on the sisters of battle models

B, is there anything in the lore that would let this be ‘approved’ (I know the iron hands are one thing, but still, the Mechanicus and the Ecclesarcy are both sanctioned by the imperium… and it wouldn’t suprise me if there was a bit of a ‘cross over’ between them)

Please answer below.

Please answer below.

So, I was trying to make a sisters of battle list to better understand them as a faction (I play space marines) and when I finished and looked at my list, it felt… ‘weird’, any help or explanation would be GREATLY appreciated, and also any advice or suggestions on how to improve this list or how to play it would be appreciated as well.

The goal of the army. is that the three tanks act as a spearhead to, with the aid of the Basalisk and the artillery teams, to destroy any enemy monsters/vehicles/key units. With infantry to secure the objectives and heavy weapons teams to shred any infantry.

Now, given how long Custodius names are… how TERRIFYING do you think it would be if you used their FULL name on them and the mom voice?

so, in this google docs, i just made my first space marine chapter, the Liraria Rangers, and I was just wanting to get everyone's thoughts on it and on how it is as a homebrew chapter. the point of them is that i guess they were inspired by the rangers from dnd, if that helps.

also, as for the 'elm soul' it is just a geneseed curse. I wish I could draw something to show what i am talking about, but I am no artist, and i would never use ai art.

either way, feel free to use this homebrew chapter however you like, just let me know if you are doing anything with it,

anyway, let me know your thoughts in the comments.

I was working on my own homebrew space marine chapter, and I was wondering if techmarines and Appothecaries of renown can also be a Captian? Cause, thanks to the dawn of war games which are still cannon, APPARENTLY Librarians can become a chapter master… despite how bad of an idea that is…. So I was wondering what exactly is stopping a Appothecary or a Techmarine or even a Chaplin, from doubling as a Captian for a company of space marines?

So, I was thinking about abhumans today and I was wondering, wouldn’t abhumans also have a chance at being Psyckers? And if so, what are the practical implications for the different abhumans in the imperium of man (like a Orgryn Psycker would be TERRIFYING to try and force on a blackship)? Let me know your thoughts and any lore you wish to input down here?

So… how often do the factions of Warhammer 40K, EAT each other? I am not counting the Tyranids in this discussion sense they are already spoken for… but I mean… after an imperial victory against the tau… it would be heretical to waste all this perfectly good meat! Also I wouldn’t put it past the Druakri to eat some captive humans…

Let me know what the lore says about this and what your thoughts are in the comment section.

So, if the Ecclesarcy is able to keep popping out living saints… why have we not seen a ‘Mechanicus living saint’ yet? Cause I think THAT should have happened by now… yes I know living saints are RARE, even more than titans, but given how the cult Mechanicus is the second biggest faith in the imperium, you would THINK the warp would have reflected that and made a Mechanicus living saint…

Ok, so, this Theory MIGHT be heretical, but hear me out first! So, what if, Hatemonger is a tomboy girl, who simply never realized they were a girl, (nor who ever grabbed them for the ‘holy globules’ ascension or whatever it is) before the future face reveal? My reasoning is simple enough, the amount of chaos and jokes it would cause, and how If kind of fits the show in terms of ‘absurdity’ and the exact kind of character hypocrisy to add a perfect layer of drama…

Again, this theory is just a theory. Feel free to call this heresy if you want, but just hear it out.

So, I had a random Warhammer 40K character idea come to me that I wanted to share. how about two characters who are siblings, then the boy ends up being taken in by a Asarties chapter and goes through the whole ‘geneseed’ process and becomes a full on space marine. But the girl ends up being forcibly taken by the Assinorium, and eventually becomes a Callidus Assasin in the mean time… so that years later, they eventually are reunited in war, because of some reason or another. As for whether they recognize each other again or don’t, THAT, I will leave up to you people to decide… but still.

That that is pretty much the basics of my idea, feel free to do with this idea, whatever you want.
