Time to take out the plants.

Query: Possible cooperation from Genestealers to knock out power?

>>7192593
Hee hee. Shame I don't have time to get in on this for long.
How about getting the nobility to flag the drop vehicle/shuttle of the Grey Knights as hostile to automated weapons and have it shot down?
>:D

>>7192624

Genestealer Cult has its hands full preventing the upper classes from interfering with your work in the underhive. Plus, to lend any actual Genestealers to your cause would require that they sneak all the way down to the underhive - And they do NOT possess chameleonic scales.

>>7192641

Such an act would likely label the planet Excommunicate, and attract Space Marines, Imperial Guard regiments, the Inquisition, or all three.

>>7192682

Ok, nearest power plant from our current location?

>>7192700

Nearest plant: 16 miles west, 5 miles down.

>>7192711

Sneak sneak sneak.

>>7192682
Shucks, should've known it wouldn't be that easy. =D

>>7192719

Planting individual synrippers along the way, I assume?

>>7192742

But of course.

Hit as many power plants as we can with slaught mines - if we only get three, then that's fine too.

>>7192711
STRIKE THE EARTH, DIG TO THE PLANT
if possible make the plant overload in a seemingly accidental yet spectaular fashion.

>>7192765

SLAUGHT MINES EVERYWHERE

Also, an army of implanted humans would be nice.

>>7192763
>>7192765
>>7192792

You proceed to the next plant, depositing synrippers every mile or so so as to keep your synaptic web connected. Finally, you emerge at the level that the plant is at: This plant seems to be, in fact, a hydroelectric dam, holding back the hive's water supply.

>>7192849

...To taint the water supply, or flood the hive? I'm not sure...

>>7192849
water supply?
do we have a dispersable poison?
do we have a dispersable implantation device?
do we have either of those in water soluble form?
have we eaten someone recently?

>>7192875
>>7192875
we ate a techpriest brain and that slannesh cultist adept's brain too.

what did we learn from this?

>>7192875

>do we have a dispersable poison?
You have toxin sacs, so the development of such a poison shouldn't be a problem.
>do we have a dispersable implantation device?
Depends on what level of control you want to exert over people.
>do we have either of those in water soluble form?
Whatever you develop for the task, making it soluble in water shouldn't take long.
>have we eaten someone recently?
You recently had head of techpriest and cultist. Nothing more substantial than that, though.

>>7192849
GAAAAAAAAAANGSTER!
We're about to find a way to blow a big fuck off hole in this thing, boys.

>>7192899

Techpriest brain: Detailed understanding of most Imperial weapons technology, as well as rudimentary knowledge of computer systems likely to be encountered.

Cultist brain: Locations of the other cults in the underhive.

Wait a second. How much Slaught can we pump into the water supply, and how much of an effect will it have?

>>7192864
actually flood the hive, that could be accidental, posioning/tainting the water, now that would be cause for investigation, lets drown the sobs and move on, besides tainting the hive would leave the plant active.

We don't have enough juice to effectively poison the hive.

>>7192927
Are these cults also Slaaneshi?

Time to blow this taco stand.

No point or time in poisoning th hive.

Bomb the thing - there's no way to recover from this - we could even bomb it early, since this is such a chunky target.

>>7192938
submerse self in water supply - become 'slaught generator.

>>7192930

On your own: Not enough slaught to achieve any substantial effects. However, given a few hours, you COULD generate a large number of slaughtrippers to continuously pump slaught into the water supply. Depending on the number of rippers pumping, you could noticeably affect the populace.

>>7192959
yar, we should get a surf board analogue and ride the killer wave, or maybe not. where is next plant from here, up or down, and what are our swimming/diving capabilities?

>>7192943

Negative: Hive has four main cults, each devoted to a particular Chaos deity. Each cult is centered around a plant. The cult nearby this plant: Tzeentch.

>>7192980

Next closest plant is to the south, up at the highest levels of the hive.

Anyone nearby?

Slaught-Rippers out the ass, bu only if we can find somewhere they definitely will not be found.
That last is the most important point.

>>7193060

Given that you're hanging from a girder several tens of meters above the reservoir, no.

>>7193075

With a tiny bit of tinkering, the rippers can be dropped into the reservoir itself and left to their own devices, excreting slaught as they hunt whatever may live in its depths.

>>7193003
ok lets get a rebriefing, what will happen if we disable all plants?
do we have a specific goal to accomplish down here?

How about a mix of slaught and frenzon?

>>7193114

All plants disabled would lead to total power loss to the hive, and they would probably not come back online before the fleet arrives.

Only objective is to prepare the planet for absorbtion. How to accomplish this is up to the nodes.

>>7193132

Command: Produce Slaught and Frenzon rippers into the water supply along with a synripper.

>>7193113
Sounds good.
I vote a rain of amphibious Slaught-rippers into the reservoir.

>>7193144
Thirding this command. Let's start some riots.

>>7193144

Requesting confirmation from other nodes.

Time required to gestate each ripper: 5 minutes.
Number of rippers required to increase levels of frenzon/slaught in reservoir to levels sufficient to affect humans: 200.

>>7193183

do eet.

>>7193144
I say we produce rippers until we run out of biomass, then go devour some hookers or something.

Wait, is there any chance we can get to any barracs or anything?
Or maybe even just into one of the large terminals of the mass-transit system...

>>7193183
so drugging the entire hive will only take us 16.6 hours?

We're really efficient.

>>7193183
Confirmed - 200.
That eats up a whole lot of our remaining day though...

>>7193221

Arbites barracks?

There is a sort of subway system that spans the city, but infiltrating it and remaining hidden could prove tricky.

>>7193183
approximately 16 hours to produce 200 rippers, blow the dam

>>7193236
Nope, probably only that section of the Hive that drinks untreated, unfiltered water - the entire underhive, for example.

>>7193246
I was thinking PDF barracks, and the Grand Central equivalent of the subway system.
Gas them, we got some business on the go.

>>7193283
So we go from stealthing around to taking out a god damn PDF barracks?

Fuck.

>>7193183
Do it.

>>7193283

Fuck this.

Query: Results of destruction of the damming system?

>>7193299

Flood the underhive, generate mass chaos, kill millions, wipe out two plants in one go.

Only problem is blowing up the dam.

>>7193299
Fuck the PDF, go for the dam.

>>7193320

Query: Tech-Priest knowledge that to include demolitions and possible usage of the current machinery of the plant?

>>7193290
>>7193296
>>7193299
I was thinking we go for a bit of Slaught mining an entrance or two.
To be honest, I'd not thought it through, and was just throwing it out for consideration.
Perhaps it can wait until the day after the Shadow descends.

We need to kill the grey knights, but we need to make sure they don't kill us. Can the chaos hives be exploded in any way through the destruction of imperial equipment? Find out.

>>7193341

Confirmed: Rudimentary knowledge of the plant's inner workings is likely, as is use of explosives - However, explosives require materials that you do not currently have.

You do have a pouch full of archeotech, though.

>>7193341

this

>>7193375

Query: Can DOOMLICTOR successfully Ident the Archeotech via Tech-Priest memories?

>>7193393

Confirmed: Powerfist is identifiable as such. Spider-trinket and green-metal cylinder are of unknown providence - potentially Xenotech.

>>7193364
Woah, NO.
Stay the fuck away from the GKs, at all cost.

>>7193433

Query: Would the use of the Power Fist, specifically the Power Field in combination of overloading the reactors of the plant successfully destroy the dam?

>>7193433
Also, if answer is no. Confirm: >>7193183

>>7193433
POWER FIST TO DAM
is power fist powered?
have chewy locate any nearby edibles, people, vermin, snack machines.
attempt to locate explosives if power fist to dam nonviable.

>>7193460

Confirmed: Activated Powerfist impacting with the plant's generators could produce a blast of sufficient size to punch a hole in the dam large enough to bring it down.

>>7193375
Using techpriest brainmeat knowledge, identify the two odd objects that previously were unknown.

>>7193490

Command: Produce a Synripper able to be rigged with the Power Fist. Then proceed to power fist the reactor with ripper while at a safe distance.

If sucessful, save template of suicide-ripper.

>>7193490
this sounds unhealthy, give power fist to some rippers, ripper suicide charge into dam generator with active power fist, locate other explosives as powerfist likely to be irrecoverable after the explosion.

>>7193501
see
>>7193433

>>7193490
MAKE IT SO!

>>7193490
Hahahah No.

We're going to telekinese that shit into the generators (how? That shit's guarded) so we don't end up dieing.

Somehow.

>>7193501

Purpose of the objects demands further study: Objects confirmed to be of Xenos origin - The trinket is of Dark Eldar design, presumably used for torture, and the cylinder bears similarities to Necrontyr technology. Purpose unknown.

>>7193513
>>7193516

Request Confirmation: Send lone synripper into plant of unknown number of humans, equipped with powerfist?

>>7193490
It COULD, or it WILL? If this plan is only mildly likely to work, it might not be the best plan ever. We might have to supplement with ripper/drugs.

On that topic: Rather than producing rippers ourselves, could we generate an organism that generates rippers, and move on to do our own thing while it does that?

>>7193555
Query: Number of minds in area and en-route to the generators.

Modify Command: Produce cadre of Obscura-Rippers along with Synripper armed with Power Fist to gas any resistance.

>>7193364
>>7193447
That's the POINT. We stay away by blowing up the cult while the GK are in it.

>>7193556
Too far man, too far.

What I suggest is that we get into the plant, then set up the rippers, salute them, then get the fuck out.

>>7193556

Assuming the powerfist makes it to the generators while activated, there is an 84.7% chance that the resulting explosion will lead directly to the dam's collapse.

A ripper-nest would take four hours to generate, but could be dropped into the reservoir and left to its own devices, absorbing nutrients from the water and producing rippers at a rate of one every three minutes.

So... do we drug the populace, or do we blow up a dam?

>>7193613
Please Confirm:
>>7193581

>>7193634
If we fill the reservoir with drugs and then break the dam, slaught-water will flood the underhive. That might do both.

>>7193613
AND THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME!

ROCK & ROLL

>>7193613
I like this.
What about implanting/manipulating whoever does oversight of the reservoir to minimize the chances of the ripper-nests detection?

I endorse creation of a ripper-nest in the reservoir.

>>7193643

Insufficient data to produce an accurate estimate of the amount of resistance.

>>7193650
But then people are going to find the drugrippers.

>>7193513

> Ripper with a Powerfist

Ok, this seems like the most stupid idea ever.

I still say Slaught in the drinking water, we bring down the dam, at most we're flooding everything below it, everything higher up in the hive is safe. If the Dam blows, it's going to be obvious something it wrong and shit's going to get tough.

If we Slaught the water, EVERYONE goes insane, and there's no stopping the chaos.

seriously, 4 greyknights, and shooting them down would attract space marines / impguard regiments, mere 4 days before the hivefleet reaches the planet?

DO IT

The Planet will probably be long overrun until they arrive and get slaughtered while making planetfall, since they probably only expected a rebellious nobility they would've had to take out.

The effect on the sector defense would probably be devastating, especially considering the loss of ships.
DOOOO IT

>>7193658

How far are we from the Generator it's self, then.

We'll go in ourselves, set the rippers up, leave, then have them go boom.

>>7193677
Who cares. We'll live.

ROCK AND ROLL!

>>7193677
What about combining ambitions?
Ripper-hive growing the water, the rippers themselves tailored to sweat 'Slaught? Wait a day, and combine that with the power-plant attack.

>>7193676
Are they? They might assume that the cultists were responsible for drugging the water, particularly if we make sure that no rippers get caught and killed by the flood.

>>7193658
power fist ripper rush into the plant, the faster and more violent the better, leave nothing alive, gtfo before the plant goes tidal wave on the rest of the hive. Proceed to next plant.

>>7193677

Slaught only pumps up their reflexes. We'll actually be helping them.

Best mixture would be Slaught AND Frenzon for maximal effected.

Put frenzy drugs into water supply. The humans can riot with the lights on, and hopefully they'll distract the grey knights.

Awaiting Consensus: Spawn Rippernest to taint water supply, blow dam, or both at staggered intervals?

>>7193740
Both. Blow the dam when riots start.

>>7193700
I like this. We put the ripper plant in the water now, then we move into the power plant to scout out the area for a powerfist-based detonation on our preferred schedule. Even if the plan to blow the plant falls through, we'll have the slaught distribution backup plan running, so secondary objective achieved.

We can check on whichever plant won't blow up from the blown damn while our rippers are in production.

>>7193700

This seems the best solution, since it would be insanity and a lack of power at the same time. The idea of blowing the dam absurd, it would cause too much attention and do too little damage.

>>7193740
blow the dam, forget the nest, it will become useless once the dam is gone with 4 hours wasted to create it, and 10 more hours to spawn rippers.

Why bother blowing the dam at all, though?

>>7193740

Both with the nest producing a cocktail of Slaught, Frenzon and Stimm.

They will be geeked on speed before they know what hit them, and when it hits them, they'll be drowning with what geeked them.

>>7193740
Both.
With a delay even the possible discovery of a Tyranid presence will be of little consequence. Best timing would be to blow the damn just as the Hive Fleet arrives and the Warp Shadow occurs.

>>7193733
Ah, check. Frenzon then.

>>7193757
>>7193762

Confirmed: Begin production of rippernest, to be followed by exploration of plant once nest is situated properly.

Any information queries while you spend four hours generating the nest?

>>7193797

Effect of the cocktail of Slaught, Frenzon AND Stimm?

>>7193781
So we can blow all the power in the hive synchronically with the riots. Then it's pretty much game over.

>>7193776
Forget the nest? Why? It allows us to do in only four hours what would otherwise require 16.67, hedge our bets if blowing up the dam fails, AND significantly improve the effects of blowing up the dam if that plan is successful. It seems like carrying out both plots at staggered intervals is the obvious optimum plan here.

>>7193797
I wonder if we can paint Chaos symbols with bits of body? Good for framing people.

>>7193797
Query: Any information on the final power plant?

While we're at it: how much munching on a Tzeentchian coven leader would do for wour warp powaz?

>>7193797
What information do we have on the various cults from that devoured cultist brain? Numbers, capabilities, equipment, plans, relations between them?

>>7193709
The first notion that the mind-altered adept would come to after her "encounter" with the cultists was that the introduction of combat grade drugs was the cult. Slaneesh and drugs are not hard dots to connect.

blowing the damn with the infected with slaught and frenzon = good times

just infect the water = also good, but more backup-planish

query: spit out a quick ripper and 'try' the dark eldar/necron thingy on it (if it cuts/shoots/whatever)

>>7193812

Riots of a particularly bloody nature. The hive's Khornate cult may or may not find a way to twist this to their own ends, assuming they get cultists on the scene in a timely fashion.

>>7193816
More likely, we'll spend the rest of our time destroying power plants, which won't hurt the GK at all.

>>7193847
Agreed. Especially since the Slaaneshi cult has a large stock of stimms and other exotic drugs

>>7193797

Would there be any way to throw any Grey Knights off our asses through psyker fuckery?

Like, locating a Psyker and pinging him constantly until he's driven insane, or sending it images of us devouring other humans. This node is thinking, if the Psyker loses it, it might attract the Grey Knights to him and off of our trail. Even better if the Psyker loses it in such a spectacular manner that he goes Daemonhost, or explodes, or something.

>>7193850
necron thing might be bomb. no 'trying' it.

>>7193862
Error: There is no need to create a distraction to an enemy that isn't even on our tail.

>>7193820
it takes 4 hours to build the nest, 10 hours afterwards to make the rippers see >>7193613
we save only 2 hours by doing that, and we'd have to come back later to blow up the damn or waste 14 hours sitting there, blow the dam, move on.

>>7193852

>>7193862
That's probably not a good idea. Every GK is psychic... probably to Delta/Epsilon levels.

>>7193879
There's nothing wrong with coming back later. We don't want the dam to blow up until the Shadow in the Warp hits, anyway.

...wait, how long do we have until the anticipated demon summoning event?

Inspiration: Would Spore Mines be able to sufficiently damage the dam? Even if it's just a crack the water pressure would cause it to burst.

>>7193892
GK's would detect us, as quickly as the psyker, question is where would the put their priorites purge the xeno, or purge the rest?

>>7193918
Irrelevant. Grey Knights are moving to counter that target anyway.

>>7193835

Trash-plant harbors the Slaaneshi cult. Water-plant harbors Tzeentchian cult. Wind-plant (In the hive's upper reaches) harbors Khornate cult comprised primarily of nobles. Sludge-plant in hives lowest reaches harbors Nurgle cult.

>>7193836

Given the high probability of Psyker ingestion, the unlocking of new warp powers is a near-certainty.

>>7193837

Slaaneshi cult: Currently trying to summon a daemon. High amounts of drugs, moderate population, low psyker density.
Tzeentchian cult: Unknown, except for high psyker probability.
Khornate cult: Mostly the sons of well-off nobles engaging in bloody arena combat. Primarily melee weapons.
Nurgle cult: Unknown.

>>7193850

Request Confirmation: Have rippers mess with Xenotech?

>>7193892

Exactly, we probably register on the warp now, so a GK COULD possibly find us. If we give them something else to deal with, like an insane psyker fucking things up, it could buy us time.

Then again, this idea could wait until we know we've been detected.

Bangin'

>>7193953
Rippers try out the xenotech.

Let's go try and find the nurgle cult. They ought to give us some "Unique" powers.

>>7193953
have the rippers mess with the xeontech, safely away from us, if they get flayed, so what, make some more later. blow up the dam, move in on Tzeenchian Cult, any attack is likely to recieve a psychic retalliatory attack from the tzeenchians thus drawing the attention of the GKs, and likely suppressing or masking our shadow.

>>7194044
I like that

>>7194050
But that makes more sense

>>7194044
>>7194050

Confirmed: Have Chewy try out Xenotech a safe distance away. Priority Necrontyr artifact, or Dark Eldar device?

Awaiting Consensus on target - Tzeentch or Nurgle cult.

>>7194082
Nurgle.

Tzeentch is fucking dangerous to us, still.

>>7194082
i vote necron piece, we're assuming the dark eldar has to do with torture which we already can do pretty damn well, and i previously voted attacking the tzeenchians.

>>7194082

Necron, though, dammit, I'd prefer not Chewy do it, don'r want the lovable little bastard to get flayed...

>>7194082
Nurgle!

I speak against meddling with the Necrontech.
If there's a chance They sleep beneath this world, and that it could wake them, only catastrophe could ensue.
Let it lie, comrades.

>>7193954
Suddenly, a grey knight bursts through the wall, screaming OH YEAH.

That's about all the warning we'll get.

Confirmed: Chewy tests out Necrontyr artifact while the hive attempts to come to a consensus on the Nurgle v. Tzeentch debate.

Chewy crawls out of his stasis-womb, cylinder in claw, and drops down into the reservoir, swimming to shore and shaking himself off. Once satisfied that he's dry, he then begins to probe the rod, looking for a method of activating it. Suddenly, there is a bright green flash, blinding you momentarily. Upon regaining your sight, you see a twisting mass of necrodermis where the ripper was previously, in the process of forming into a more cohesive shape. Before your eyes, Chewy reforms, but reconstituted in a new, sleek, metallic form.

Oddly, your synapse control over him seems to be unaffected.

>>7194188

Grey Knights are not Dreadnoughts or Culex Assassins.

>>7194122
We already have Chewy's template, all Rippers produced retain his memories and abilities.

>>7194169
Agreed - the Necrontyr do not mix well with our kind.

>>7194169
hmmmm...actually that is probably a good point
we don't need necrontry fucking up our shit and flayin our dudes while we're chowin down on good ol ppl.
Perhaps just leaving the xenotech alone is best, what do we need it for anyway?

>>7194198
Confirm: We now control a necron?

>>7194198
Jesus Christ that's awesome.

>>7194198
*Cue mild panic*
WHAT?!
Chewy?
*poke poke*

>>7194198
...o.0
CHEWY TERMINATOR!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>7194246

More like a rippercron, but it appears that way.

Suggestion: This may allow for an unimagined level technological tampering.

Let's see if we can get Chewy to experiment with his new necrodermis.

See if he can do shit like a T1000.

NOT GOOD.
They are ANATHEMA to us.
This is ABOMINATION.
Hive mind: wth?!

good times /tg/
i'm off to go fleece some chumps in a hopefully quick game of hold'em
archive this for great victory!

>>7194283

First and foremost, can Chewy flay things with it's mind?

>>7194198
OP I am calling shenanigans.

>>7194283
Do it! And Nurgle.

>>7194336
>shenanigans
>this whole thread

>>7194325

What sort of tests do you wish to initiate?

>>7194356
This: >>7194284

>>7194343
>>7194336

>>7194356

Flay a Slaaneshi symbol into the wall.

>>7194398

>>7194336

You're a superlictor with warp powers, the ability to spawn rippers, aerosol-drug people, and you've got drugs ready to dive into your system at a moment's notice.

It's a little late to call shenanigans.

>>7194414

Chewy's mouth opens, and he carves a crude slaaneshi symbol on the wall with a thin beam of Gauss energy.

>>7194398
>>7194343
>>7194336

Well, if OP feels the Necron thing is too damn weird, he could always make it disappear, there's a very good explanation for that happening.

>>7194356
Use the cylinder on ourselves.

This all seems like Tyranid heresy...

>>7194423
Yes.
This is how a very good session goes: you feel like you have power, you have objectives to pursue that seem accomplishable with a timetable that's both hindering and advantageous, you're for once not rushing into combat, and weird shit happens.
This is a great twist, even as I'm a loss to deal with it.

..ok, idea.
Have Chewy interact with the Dark Eldar spider-device. He should be durable to survive whatever it does, and let's see if he can make it function with his....abomination power.

Proposal: If the hive deems techno-biological meshing counter to the hive's goals, Doomlictor may reliquish synaptic control over Chewy.

>>7194460

I'll go with this, Chewy can take some hardcore abuse now.

>>7194471

This node is rather fond of our metallic nibbling mascot, and would greatly like some Drawfaggotry of the little guy.

>>7194460

Requesting confirmation: Throw the device at Chewy, or have him come up here and retrieve it from the pouch?

>>7194487
Throw it.

>>7194487
Toss it at the little guy.

>>7194510
Seconded. It's made by Dakka Eldar, might be activated this way.

>>7194446
I agree with this - that way, while the hive loses a small portion of biomass on arrival, we become that much more durable at - probably - the cost of our warp powers.

>>7194428
Completely awesome.

Ok, dilemma: do we alter the rest of the ripperhive? Imagine the carnage..

>>7194510
Agreed - keep the little tin fucker as far away fro us as possible.

Also, gauss weaponry is capable of killing power plant: Y/N?

I dont want that shit getting anywhere NEAR our reproductive organs thank you

>>7194535
>>7194446

This node disagrees, Warp Powers are too damn useful to lose.

>>7194572
>>7194562
Yeah, we are NOT tinning ourselves.

>>7194510
>>7194529
>>7194530

You pull out the Spider-Trinket and toss it at Chewy, who holds complacently still as it flies at him. A second before impact, the spider's legs lengthen, and encase the rippercron, seeming to search for a weak point. Finding no concentrations of nerve endings, the legs retract, and the spider falls to the ground, inert once more.

>>7194544

Rippercrons do not consume biomass, instead, they flay it from existence. This means they are detrimental to our cause. One is enough, to create more would be bad.

>>7194572
Warp powers > bit of metal

Since, while under synapse, Chewy is essentially an extension of our will...how does he feel right now? Does he know what the fuck happened to him?

>>7194586
We'd be able to peel the GK's like tanks and regenerate even faster with a tougher shell. We might not even lose our warp powers - our synapse powers, for example, are technically warp powers and we have control of Chewie.

>>7194572
Seconded. Also: effect on communications with Hive Mind is unknown. Exact gains from using the Necron artifact: unknown. Risks: unknown. Effect on Shadow in te Warp ability: unknown, thus detection by psyker might be possible.

>>7194587
Lets hang onto that for now. Will make an excellent way to dispose of a Cultist Sorcerer or, Hivemind Forbid, a Grey Knight

>>7194620
Good point, let's go for it!

>>7194587
Agonizer shuriken? Heh.

>>7194638
>>7194620
Fuck No. Turning ourselves into metal will mean we could no longer evolve ourselves.
Over-fucking-Rule

query: since synapse control is still in effect of necronized ripper - can we surmize that it doesn't interfere with our psychic abilities?

i want to have our doomlictor necronized

yes i do - provided that we can keep all the good bits of both

>>7194614

He's currently staring hungrily at the Dark Eldar artifact.

>>7194620
We haven't exactly used our warp powers to the greatest effect so far. Who dares wins and all that bullshit. When we're tougher than a baby of a Carnifex that's been fucking the emperor, we won't NEED warp powers - and as that poster says, we might even keep them.

>>7194652
THAT THAT THAT.
Do NOT tin ourselves, goddamnit.

Also, Chameleon scales?
Less effective when they're all shiny.

>>7194652
Man, what a boner kill.

>>7194652

You can't evolve biologically, but you can always get robotic upgrades.

>>7194652

Plus no Chamo scales, so no more stealth.

>>7194652
Necrons can evolve themselves; the metal is flexible. We can probably evolve machine versions of ourselves. The biomass lost when we transform will be as nothing compared to the entire planet.

>>7194686
From where exactly?

>>7194658

Denied: Chewy's synaptic connection to Doomlictor is a byproduct of the necrodermis having incorporated his Tyrranic cellular structure. The preservation of other warp powers is by no means guaranteed.

>>7194698
Make them. We can always change the colour of our necrodermis shell; might take experimentation but not much. See if we can make Chewy do it. Plus we won't NEED stealth when we're that tough.

LET'S GET HARDENED CHITIN!

THEN TIN US!

FUCK YEAH INVINCICRON

>>7194697
This is why they have a whole four variants in service?

>>7194707
But not completely boned. Necrodermis incorporates cell structure and to a lesser degree, the soul. It's not like one of the pillars. We have nothing to lose. We might get weakened powers at worst, but we can develop those.

>>7194707

This is why we shouldn't turn Necron.

No, we are not turning into fucking necrons. The Hive Mind would reject our asses and we'd be eaten once the invasion hits.

We are Doom Lictor! We Do Cocaine! We can't do cocaine if we're a damn robot!

>>7194715
Make them from what and how? Limited amount of necrodermis? Also, do we even know anything about crontech? Or any other tech aside from Ol' Yarrick's Plasma Shack?

>>7194725
They don't possess the fierce will of the tyranids to survive and change; they're too usy getting fucked by the c'tan.

>>7194733

We'd lose our stealth abilities, our drug-making abilities, implant abilities and spore mine and ripper production at the very least.

Screw that.

Seconded on necronizing self unless the dark eldar device does something useful with Chewie.

query: what are we currently waiting for...

- and how long is the wait?

>>7194715

Query to the hive: Chewy is requesting permission to absorb Dark Eldar torture-trinket into his form.

Confirm/Deny?

>>7194758
They're too busy being, you know, deathless, immutable zombie robots. Their tech and its capabilites might reflect that.

>>7194781
confirm, might be useful that way.

>>7194772

Production of Rippernest to drop into hive reservoir.

Time left: 3 Hours.

>>7194781
Confirm. We'll have one twisted little murderer in store.

"My character is a Tyranid Lictor, but he also found this Necron artifact and now he has a necrodermis shell!"

Fellow nodes, do you want to be a Mary Sue?

We do not need this necron shit, throw it away.

>>7194781

Do it, I think he deserves a mindrape ninja star.

DANGER: This node panics at the idea of turning into the one thing we truly fear.

>>7194766
we could make more with the cylinder
>>7194752
we'd get eaten anyway when it arrives; this way we wouldn't need the extra abilities assuming we lost them at all and became monstrously powerful bastards.

>>7194803

Addendum: we don't fear shit, we just don't enjoy chewing on tinfoil.

>>7194781
Confirm. Nom that tech, Chewie!

>>7194781

deny. if we keep them separate then the loss of one while it's in use doesn't mean the loss of the other.

>>7194795
>>7194797
>>7194799

Chewy eagerly devours the trinket, and within a matter of minutes has incorporated the schematic for it.

Chewy gained ability: Spit Torture-Shuriken.

>>7194798
Keep it for future use.

QUERY: What are the properties of the necrodermis? Is it possible to make claws with similar properties as phase blades from it?

>>7194819
We might glean some insight intoits workings though, potentailly gaining us an agonizer biomorph. And that would give us something to use on the grey knights.

Necronize self, absorb upgraded Chewie template.

Lets reach a compromise on this Necrotyr thing. We keep Chewy as our little metal helper but we keep ourselves as glorious Tyranid flesh. Since chewy is under synapse he's pretty much like an extra limb of ours.

Best of both worlds.

>>7194805

We're alone. The fleet doesn't show for four more days. We still need stealth and our other abilities to cause maximum damage in preparation for the fleet.

While yes, we could tin ourself and kill a fuckload of humans, we'd get crushed by sheer numbers when they rallied and dropped some Knights on our heads.

That means we will have failed our mission, and that is unacceptable.

QUERY: Is it possible to grow a weapon biomorph with similar properties to the DE artifact?

Now leave Chewy at the power plant, ready to Gauss the fuck out of it on D-Day.

>>7194842
Yeah, going to have to agree on that one.

>>7194842

WARNING: Node severely advises against necronizing self, due to loss of any and all biological components, as well as the capability to produce more.

Reccomended course of action: Have rippercron Chewy devour any and all tech of note encountered, downloading all knowledge in regards to its use, as well as the potential to reverse-engineer biological equivalents.

>>7194841
Dammit forget the GKs, they're after the daemon cults, and we're staying the fuck away from the GKs, and running like fuck if we see them.

>>7194872

Seconding this. Necronizing ourself is fucking stupid.

RIGHT, so we aren't Necronising ourselves, that's sorted.

Can we DO something now?

>>7194872
REPEAT QUERY: Is it possible to engineer phase claws from necrodermis?

We have chewy to do robot stuff and ourselves to do flesh stuff, we don't both need to be tin. Stay fleshy. Lets move on to blowing up this dam or we'll never get anywhere

>>7194859

Querying...

Yes. Chewy's hyperefficient processors allow for the theoretical creation of more complex biomorphs, which can then be implemented and grown on Doomlictor's body.

>>7194872
Consenting.

>>7194883
No, it isn't. There's something like six seperate voices so far (or at least I think so) for necronizing. People want to do it, you jsut don't.

>>7194872
Won't Chewy need to nom metal bits to make more tech?

Let's get him feeding on a random pipe or something. Maybe it'll attract some flesh bags.

>>7194893

Uncertain. Describe desired effect of such claws.

I split for a bit and now we're trying to turn ourselves Necron? Fuck that.

>>7194915
Gauss teeth. With gauss claws. And a gauss belly, when he lands on people.

>>7194907

Confirmed: Chewy requires additional materials to develop his own biomorphs (Technomorphs?).

>>7194896
Then, my fellow hive nodes, we shall grow ourselves our very own agonizer. Tail or whip-like tentacle most likely.

>>7194928

Require further data: Components with the abilities to shoot Gauss blasts, or components with the capability of rending things on the atomic level?

>>7194915
Effect akin to a Callidus assassin's sword. Quasi-solid, bypassing armor through hyperdimensional shenanigans. Ineffective against necrodermis, gets reabsorbed if in direct contact.

>>7194892
Saying "okay, I've decided this" doesn't fucking make it so.

>>7194944

Confirmed: Chewy can generate such claws for himself, but no biological equivalent is feasible at this point.

>>7194906

Yes it is, for the reasons I listed in

>>7194766

and

>>7194856

Get off the necronizing idea, it's fucking stupid.

>>7194964
And everyone else has shown evidence that you've ignored.

>>7194961
Screw phase claws, make the agonizer whip. Ignores armour just as well, and we can kill a fucking tank if need arises.

OP doesn't want to necrotize regardless, since apparently in his 40k-verse it turns things into robots.

Query: Is it possible to necronize just parts, for example retractable claws? Best of both worlds maybe.

Haven't we already decided that the necronizing ourselves is a no go?

>>7194984
Oh god. Harlequin's Kiss + Agonizer Whip.

Man, I don't know a single Slaaneshi cultist that /doesn't/ want to try that one out. Up the penis. All of them.

>>7194976
You say about all the people who want a necrodermis, but you ignore the people who think it's fucking stupid, stop being a hypocrite. We have moved on anyway.

>>7194961
Although I think the idea of a necronnid has finally pushed this thread out of all plausibility, I say we go cult hunting and leave chewy ready to demolish the dam at the right time.

OP wrote himself into a corner with this stupid Necrotyr thing. And it was such a good quest here to now.

Autosage. Another thread?

>>7194976

What fucking evidence? There's no benefit to us or to our mission.

Plus, Doomlicter can't do fucking drugs if we're made out of metal.

>>7195020
No, because the evidence FOR outweights the evidence AGAINST.

POSSIBLE loss of warp powers. Guaranteed speed, strength, regeneration, ability to absorb tech and possibly continue to adapt tyranid style anyway.

>>7195004

Do you really want to try and introduce necrodermis into your system, in the hope that you'll be able to control what parts of the body it affects?

Go on, try it. I dare you.

>>7195018
Remember, we are DOOMLICTOR. We do COCAINE. And we go NANANANANAAAA instead of omnomnomnomnom. Fits right in.

>>7195028

Shit, can I get an archival link in that case?

>>7195036
>Current Biomorphs: Rending Claws, Mantid Claws, Bioplasma, Feeder Tendrils, Chameleonic Scales, Drug Miasma (Obscura, slaught, frenzon), Adrenal Glands, Egg Sacs, Synapse Node, Warp-Lobe, Pistol Socket, Ovipositor, Flesh Hooks, Stinger, Toxin Sacs
Warp Abilities: Telekinesis, Telepathy, Mind-Blast, Localized Shadow in the Warp, Synapse Control, Levitation

We stand to lose all of that, and lose our infiltration abilities. The OP himself thinks it's a stupid idea and would probably railroad us into not doing it, and I wouldn't fucking blame him.

.>>7195040
For the last time, yes. Stop railroading the majority and do it.

>>7195040

When the OP says that, it's pretty goddamn obvious it's a bad idea.

Let's just break the fucking necrontyr tech so these people will get off this idea of using it on ourself.

The "majority": Samefag.

>>7195036
Did you even read the thread? You're dismissed from the collective.

>>7195073
Seconded. Or let Chewie munch it so he can make more ripcrons.

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/7192593

>>7195057

Done:

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/7192593/

>>7195087
Second option. More ripcrons with phase claws. Just keep them in check.

Proposition: Have Chewy devour enough metal/tech to make himself ripper-sized.

Import tech-compatible biomorphs to Chewylictor.

Have one tech-based body, and one that can keep shitting rippers.

???

COCAAAAAAAINE!

Alternatively, you can just sever the synapse connection with Chewy, and see what happens, because I am getting sick of this intra-hive conflict.

>>7195081
Yeah, and most of them did say yes. 7-5, by my count.
>>7195080
Anyone who disagrees with me is a samefag!

>>7195125

Fuck, *Lictor-sized. Apologies.

>>7195125
Cronfex.jpg
I like this. Too much for our own good probably.

>>7195134
That sounds pretty fucking awesome.

>>7195127
You need to learn ot count then. Just because the comment was made that many times doesn't mean that many people think that's what should be done.

>>7195125
Just railroad it. It's not gonna resolve itself and if people don't like it they can go. If we have a necron doomlictor I'll be off to find my fortunes elsewhere.

Aaaand I'm off to eat, will check this thread to see if the hive has come to a decision when I return.

Alternatively, if it's 404'd, I'll just start the next thread and ya'll can tell me your preference.

>>7195127

Give the fuck up, the OP doesn't want to do it, and he has enough nodes on his side that it won't fucking happen.

>>7195172
Why even fucking bother to call it a decision thread when the OP makes the decisions?

>>7195167
This node votes that we leave Chewy to his own devices but keep him linked to the Synapse, then go and set up the fall of the final generator, this one can be destroyed by chewy and when it floods it will destroy another power plant, right? So we only have one more.

Query: What power plant is left to destroy?

>>7195185
Whinewhinewhine.

While I'm willing to keep Chewy around for a while as a killbot, I'm pretty sure that we need to isolate/destroy that Necrontyr artifact and warn the Hive about it. It is much too risky to leave lying around or use ourselves.

Anyway, we have other shit to worry about. We kick enough ass that we don't need to mess about with evolving ourselves unnecessarily.

No we are not making ourselves into necrons/nids.

Its much better to have one small ripper that we control that can do this shit. It is a much better idea to keep our biological functions over hopes for new toys.

>>7195213
>>7195205

Confirmed

>>7195229
Agreed. All tech advancements can be made by chewy.

>>7195213
Agreed.

>>7195167

No damn Lictcron, Rippercron is more than enough.

>>7195259
Hierodulecron. Final Destination.

We may grow to regret upgrading Chewy too much. If we lose synapse, reconnection might not be possible.

>>7195292
Worst case scenario is he starts his own band. As long as it's not detrimental to the task, more chaos=better.

>>7195292

This, also, what if C'tan gets control of him when we lose control? He'll turn on us and we'll be flayed to hell. Same could happen if we turn ourselves into a Necron.

Though, I can't help but wonder what a Trycron, or Cronifex would be like...

Unrelated query: how much biomass do we need to hierophant class? Barring that, cocafex.

New thread:
>>7195337

I think the humans might notice us if we did that
