They also refer to each other by the term "brother-captain" or "brother-sergeant" because the geneseed implants mean they share a common genetic ancestry. And of course because it sounds much cooler in stories than. "Dude" or "man" or other such "comrade...

The Imperials might think the Star Trek races are humans, until there is genetic testing done. They all fall within the 40K norms of human descent, appearing more human than ratlings or ogryns. They'll think the differences are environmental or genetic adaptations. Except with Vulcans and Romulans ...

Of course, if there's one thing that the Imperium excels at, its enlisting more manpower. All they need to do is find a nice world of primitives (we've seen plenty of human worlds in Trek that would fit that description - Tasha Yarr came from at least one such world, IIRC.) With the Cobra and trans...

But the Blackstones were inert and unoccupied. Relics, abandoned pieces of detrius essentially. The DS9 is not. Just to point out, the Imperium captured at least one Tau space station during the Damocles Crusade. After it was suitably purified (i.e. all the Tau were dead, and their scattered body p...

But we must consider what occurs if the Adeptus Mechanicus with them manage to configure replicators to serve as low-tech STC databases... What? STC technology is almost entirely lost. Its power was to be able to create the perfect design for any scenario. need a tank that floats on liquid methane ...

DS9: Will be destroyed, no matter what. It is filthy Xenos tech, the Imperium troops will make no attempt to capture it at all, likely they won't even consider it. So were the Blackstones. They used them, they will use DS9 just as happily. But the Blackstones were inert and unoccupied. Relics, aban...

Not at all. Orks use Ramming "taktics" all the time in space. And Dominion vessels are like crepepaper to 40k weapons.

DS9: Will be destroyed, no matter what. It is filthy Xenos tech, the Imperium troops will make no attempt to capture it at all, likely they won't even consider it. Bajor: If the Cardies are there they are butchered and the Bajorans inducted as slave labor or human varients, which could fabricate som...

Something to consider in response to the Earth's nuclear arsenals, the Imperial Guard has ICBMs of their own, mobile launchers in fact. They're called Deathstrike missiles, IIRC, and they're mounted on modified Chimera chassis with large missiles (looks from the model about 40ft long) that can be f...

Hey, if we're lucky the office building is the Pentagon. Lucky because it's bound to have help close to hand and some effin decent firepower.

Xenology certainly doesn't prove the Old Ones did it at all. In fact, it nails down the last of their kind's death as some thousands of years before the Ethereals appeared. If anything, Xenology implies it was the Eldar. Which Eldar, and for what reason, is not known. However Trekkies will claim it...

Tzeentch hands down, I would rather orchestrate a massive plan and carry it out than trust some sociopath, an hermaphrodite sex addict or a walking pustule to make the plans while I have the distinct displeasure of being in the firing line.

[quote="Stark]I just don't buy it. One has a flawed design and a single crewman with (apparently) no proper remote weapons, while the other doesn't have those disadvantages. It's neat that it can twist (they must lift up the hips as you say to do so) but with only one crewman and a single, offs...

I made 14'000 odd.

I'm also confused as to why no sailor ever looked at a ship model in a museum and said "it was actually green". The article doesn't really explain it. Easy, all the vets were sitting back laughing at the idiots paiting their ships wrong. And it's possible it was classified information at ...

Get this dumbass - they're a BIGGER disadvantage for a single crewman, who has to do everything himself. Or do you think a single crewman is going to jink all over the place and somehow be more accurate than a dedicated gunner, while spending half his time looking at the ground to check his footing...

I don't mean that the AT-ST wouldn't detect the Sentinel, in combat both vehicles would presumably be making evasive maneuvers to avoid fire and set up their own line of fire, a sudden change could take the AT-ST's gunner completely off line if he's not expecting the change whereas the Sentinels pi...

Are you an idiot? It's a vs, so you give all these advantages to one side (better pilots, homeground advantage) and then make a retarded claim about two-man crews? The two-man crew is a huge ADVANTAGE for the AT-ST, because it can fang around at full breakneck speed and the pilot doesn't have to tr...

Ahh, we're closing on the matter more closely here. Points to consider. (But not truly deciding factors.) 1: Sentinel pilots would have more experience dealing with other walkers than AT-ST crews from what I have read and seen. 2: Depending on the world of origin the Sentinel crew may have more expe...

How come no-one has said the Starship Troopers movies.... If there is wasted potential anywhere that is where i'd look Director: Fuck the book, we have a few character names and an enemy, lets chuck the rest of an excellent book and sci-fi with cool shit and get some FPS hooked 10 year old to write ...

Hmm, hard to say, I'd say it depends on who gets the jump on the other.

Assuming the sentinel is armed with a lascannon of course.

Sentinel spots AT-ST= AT-ST dies from Lascannon shot.
AT-ST spots Sentiel= Sentinel dies under Blaster barrage. (Or the Laser cannons.)

You're absolutely right. These people don't belong in jail; they belong in a mental hospital. Wrong, they belong in a grave plain and simple. Any living being that sends their children to these camps is evil, profoundly evil. Anyone who holds such mindless loyalty to a mere concept that they're wil...

It's obvious that the 'Nids can't get their energy in any biological way and still perform the things we know they can perform. A quick estimate reveals that if one were to absorb 100% of all the energy that strikes an Earth-like planet (in stead of the small fraction available by harvesting plant ...

Ech,,, "30 Pressed Platinum for our Tribble molester holodeck module....." No thanks, i'll just call on Slaanesh's nasty skills.... No, you wouldn't. Slaanesh stuff starts out reasonable: But holodecks have a small chance of killing you. Slaaneshi worship is absolutely certain to result i...

Somehow I wonder if their holo-sex is all that much better than what cultures high in robotic tech can do. Certainly a neuro-jack have potential to easily outstrip that. (though it isn't exactly in the same catagory) A sufficiently detailed holographic fuck should be indistinguishable from the real...
