Actually their numbers may be considerably less than the Gunbuster aliens now that i think of it. The 40k universe plays up ships as being extremely rare and hard to build, so much so that the Imperium, by and large the biggest and most powerful group around, have only tens of thousands of ships. B...

"The Imperium - where every other person has the authority to blow up your planet"

I think you're partly correct. I'm fairly certain Chaos took some of the research too, possibly related to the cloned-Horus plot. Yes i'd say definitely Chaos did something. Acording to the story the last of the surviving test subejects 'called' them, and they attacked the planet...Incubus or whate...

Not sure. The gases might point to chemical lasers, or it might just be referring to the method of cooling. OTOH I'm doubting they're chemical lasers, though. That doesn't neccecsarily tell us the frequency though (X-ray, UV, whatnot) Definately not chemical, the Imperial Infantry's Primer says tha...

what about the dozen or so main/secondary planets? Unknown. I do believe that the book "Kill Team" provides an upper limit on a major Sept (system) population as being less than one hive city's worth, but a 'friend' of mine never returned that book. $%&£&*"! hmm..... maybe th...

Dwahh? You'd really expect the Tau to dump all of thier resources at 7 IoM ships when a Tyranid/Ork invasion is at their door... no... they had bigger fish to fry. Wrong. The Democles Gulf Crusade is a big thing in Tau history, it's after O'Shova dealt with the orks, and before they had contact wit...

I have serious doubts about this supposed numerical advantage of the Tau's. The Democles Gulf Crusade was based around seven IoM capital ships, and yet the Tau didn't simply swamp that with numbers. Dwahh? You'd really expect the Tau to dump all of thier resources at 7 IoM ships when a Tyranid/Ork ...

Catachan Jungles are more than a match for most forces in the 40st millenium....

insects could probably burrow through their body glove... the ewoks did

The Codex is 2nd Ed, and thus retconned. Don't overreact TTMSHU, thats why most 40kers don't like you. I dont see how it was an over-reaction... it is a reasonable arguement to suppose that Ceremite is not just chalk... The powerpack probably weighs more than 250 pounds. There was a quote from a bo...

you're kidding me.... unless you are stipulating that Ceremite is as dense as chalk...

hey.... that was fun

Well..... I'd never used a shotgun before and i entered a competition, twice. So the first time i go, it was pretty good i thought *bam bam bam* that entry scored me 8th place.... not bad for a first timer at bisley eh? However, my shooting coach taught me some techniques after that and that entry s...
