Go on...

This meeting is necessary because of the increasingly dire situation the Imperium finds itself in. Taken alone, the reawakening of the Necrons, the renewed Black Crusade from the Eye, the impending arrival of the Prime Tyranid Hivefleet, designated Hivefleet Hydra, the dozen or so upstart xenos empires on the eastern fringe and the increasing frequency of Ork Waaaghs would be nothing of importance. However, combined, and in addition to the summing of the astronimican, the intensifying loss of our ancient knowledge and our ever-complicated internecine conflicts, this storm of troubles threatens to sweep His Lordship's Imperium from existence.

We must decide, here and now, how and if we can maintain the Imperium of Man. For if not now, when? And if not us, who? And if we are unequal to the task, then we are damned, and we have damned all of humanity with us for our folly.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!

...

...

umm... I mean carry on. Sorry

Therefore I ask that each of us, the mouth pieces of our organizations, in turn give what information we can of both our own dispositions and the movements, numbers and tactics of our enemies. Then we MUST decide on a course of action against the Tyrarid Prime Fleet, which, if my servitor's numbers are correct, would require a 500% increase in Guard recruitment, which I can tell you as Wasmaster, is utterly impossible even withot factoring in our other myriad foes. But, by the Emprah's Light, I swear that I will see every man, woman, child, servitor and ratling in the Imperium under arms before I would even entertain the possibility of defeat.

Yet even, so we have more pressing concerns. The Golden Throne, the Highlords have agreed to make known to all of you, is failing. And the noble Mechanicus, despite their valiant efforts, is unable to repair it. Now, on the subject of finding the means to save the Emperor's mortal coil, I give the floor to the Fabricator-General.

>>18163588
Ah, I see the the Chapter Master of the Marines Hostiles and his Angerguard have arrived. Hail, warriors! But where is your Commissar?

YOU WILL ALL BE CONSUMED

>implying the Emperor isn't a well preserved corpse

Out of everyone in the galaxy shouldn't the Highlords of Terra know what is really going on?

I like the idea of a War Room sequence for the High lords.

>>18163656
Fuklaw's retired, yo. He managed to work out his anger issues. Heard he's shacked up with some bitch named Conrad, or something.

Respected Members of the Body Imperial,

It is my greatest sadness to report that the Mechanicum, despite her efforts and centuries of ceaseless toil, cannot contain the degradation and failure of the Imperial tech-base. Indeed, as we speak, an ever increasing fraction of our planets, forces, and manufacturing grows cruder, less refined, and more susceptible to damage, co-option by rival powers, and replacement by xenos tech.

Leaving aside the issue of the Immortal Emperor's statsis, for which we make humble apologies to both the Immortal Emperor himself and the Grand Ecclesiarch, the Mechanicum no longer has the capability to produce as much as well for as many groups as there are clamouring for resources within our empire.

This year alone has seen a 1% drop in relative Mechanicum contributions, including quality, quantity, and timing of distributions. The exact disposition of resources can be seen here on this holodisplay, but, I warn you that even this data is fragmentary and outdated at best.

Esteemed representatives of the Imperium. The Mechanicum can no longer provide for our fractuous empire, and, given the ever increasing logistics of each outward push, we call as a collective for a consolidation of Imperial Space.

We - the Holy Mechanicum of the Fabricator-General of Mars in Alliance with the Immortal Throne of the Emperor of Mankind - are asking the Imperium to begin a period of contraction, restrengthening, and redistribution of resources.

>>18163776

We are completely willing to break up our own centralized departments in favor of a more organic, local production system closer to war-zones and manufacturing needs.

This, as you all understand, will mean a drastic change in the power-structure of the Mechanicum as well as the Imperium as a whole - a restructuring only really seen in the Tech-Marines of our Holy Astartes - and now to be replicated throughout Human Space.

We would hope that the august representatives from the other factions of Imperial power follow suit.

Emperor Protects

>>18163588
Must we have these barbarians at his meeting?

So... there's like, what... The High Lords of Terra here, about 3 or 4 Adeptus Mechanics Senior Magos reps, a Sister Supremus (or whatever), some Inquisitors, about 12 different Guard Battalion Commanders, a Imperial Navy reps, and 15,732 different muhreen chapter masters?

>>18163803
This is no time for Ego, marine. Silence unless called upon, or the

>>18163839
It would seem that is not the case.

>>18163803
I WILL TEAR DOWN YOUR MOTHERFUCKING HEAD AND SHIT DOWN TO YOUR LUNGS YOU ASSHOLE!!!

>>18163839

I think only the "important" ones would be here. Ultramarines, Space Wolves, Blood Angels, Imperial Fists, ect.

>>18163839
At the end of the GW timeline, there's seventeen living High Lords. Looks like there's a few extra representatives from the Inquisition and the psyker branches of the Adeptus Terra and Astartes too.

>>18163732
I never said he wasn't, Lord Inquisitor. But you of all people should understand how vital his remains are to the Imperium?

>>18163776
A sobering proposal. If we truly must abandon the outliers of the Imperium, we must do so carefully and with much deliberation. We cannot abandon worlds which are too threatened by our enemies, as this would only allow them another step closer to Terra, neither can we afford to give up too many worlds, lest the conscription level of the Guard fall below necessary levels. Honestly, there are few enough worlds that we can safely let go of. Perhaps if the various Astartes representatives would care to update the council on those systems which we have entrusted to their direct control? And also, if perhaps the Inquisition would deem us worthy enough to divulge what they know of recent xenos movements, as well as perhaps the possibility of a joint expedition with the Mechanicus to recover the technology needed to repair the Throne? Finally, I require of my own generals a status report from their respective sectors. Perhaps, given enough information, we can create a realistic plan of tactical redeployment.

Please continue OP

>>18163933
If I may, Lord Commander, it strikes me that perhaps my own department may be able to gain a more...balanced view of the Imperium's manifold enemies than the Holy Astartes, whose full attention is surely needed to hold Abbadon's madness at bay.

Call meeting of this retard-level magnitude. Everyone doesn't immediately backstab the grimdark out of each other. WH40k suddenly = cooperationfest. No CHAOSGANKLOLZ anywhere?

lolwut.

>>18163933
why won't we put the Emprah into a Dread? Problem solved

>>18163933

Indeed, though Explorator Crusades to discover sufficient tech to recover the throne are possible, and we as a body possess sufficient knowledge on appropriate locations on where to acquire said tech, I would believe that our highest priority would be the complete reorganization of the Mechanicum into region-based departments in cooperation with the other Imperial bodies.

Our current projections allow for the concurrent Explorator expeditions needed to repair the Golden Throne as well as fulfill (if not enhance!) Imperial logistical requirements if we have similar organizational redistribution from the other Imperial Bodies.

It is not enough that we might divide, but, that the Empire herself must (like this very conclave) rule jointly as satrapies of a common whole.

We are asking no less than the complete redistribution of power throughout the Imperium as a whole.

Anathema, I know, and yet, necessary for our survival.

>>18163930
Also Guard and Navy representatives of every sector that could afford to send them. Cadia is, of course, excused and our faith goes with them in the current Dark Crusade. Attempting to bring members of all 17,302 Astartes chapters would be impossible. As it is, we have brought in a large geographical distribution, making sure also to summon the more experienced, renowned and effective chapters such as the Space Wolves, Blood Angels, Ultramarines, Black Templars, Salamanders, Iron Hands, Imperial Fists and others. After much deliberation and the removal of all artifacts in the chamber which are not sealed to the floor, it was also decided to summon the Blood Ravens.

>Tightens his grip on his Nemesis Force Pike
I would recommend that we keep them under observation, as well.

(not op, and I have never seen a thread like this, so just ignore me if I write something retarded)

Venerated lords, it is clear that we can no longer match our assailants with sheer numbers, so perhaps we should focus on troop quality, better training, and improved strategies and tactics.
Our imperial guard regiments are mostly recruited form PDFs and provided basic training. Forming a more standardized, proffesional training course could potentially improve coordination and ease logistics. This is perticularly relevant when we have orbital superiority and bombardment.
Specialists like jungle fighters and kriegan death troopers would, naturally, keep their specialized training along with the new and improved standard model.
I also propose the creation of a book similar to the codex astartes, only custom made for imperial guard tactics. This book would contain tactics and strategies effective against the wide variety of enemies we face. This would make sure that our officers do not have to blindly guess the abilities of an enemy they see for the first time, but could instead just read the relevant section.
Clearance to read sensitive sections of this book would only be given to higher ranking officers who have proven their mental stability and loyalty to the empire of man due to the potentially corrupting nature of the information.

>>18163981

...

I second this motion.

>>18164000
Grave indeed. How much time is required to restructure the Mechanicum? And how do you propose to continue supplying the Imperium sufficiently during this period? Perhaps some slight dissemination of your Holy Expertise among a few of those worthy within each institution?
>>18163961
I would never seek to insult your order or gloss you over, Grand Provost, I was merely enquiring as to how the planets which are already under the care of Astartes forces have fared. Please, if you have a report ready, perhaps you can enlighten us as to the status of the Imperium at large.
>>18163974
You would find that in the light of the Astronomican and behind the number of protective measures this chamber employs, Chaos has great difficulty in finding a grasp.

>>18163981
Even as a man not given over to excitement, I must still conclude HERESY! Remove this pretended from the chamber. Master of the Officio, if you would kindly use what forces you see fit to expunge this heretic's chapter from our Holy Imperium?

I'm already tired of mortals debates, all the talk will either result in one of the Inquisitors blamming all of them or Fuklaw coming out of retirement. I'll go back to Cadia and blow some shit up who is with me?

Respectfully, your collected lordships, under most circumstances the mere suggestion that our Lord and Masters Empire could be anything less then totally victorious - to doubt the security of His mighty bastions- would be grounds for summary excommunication and execution. If, of course, I did not know it to be true.

In all honesty, the Adepta Sororitas have been hard hit in these last years. Harder then most. The constant policing of the imperial nobility, constant guarding and maintenance of rituals, and the proper purification of sinners and heretics has become extremely draining on all of our orders, not just militant.

In short, the sisters of battle cannot continue as we are without a serious boost in manpower. Already, some of our most ancient and venerable Convents have dwindled to less then a thousand woman at arms through sheer attrition.

If we are to keep the Imperium true to the faith need a serious bolster in forces- coordination with the other Adepta has helped, but it can only go so far.

That is why, my lords, I propose that the Frateris Militant be reformed- under the close supervision and control of the Adepta Sororitas of course.

(Feel entirely free to join in, this isn't just me having a convo with myself, I promise :P. Hop on in if you have something to contribute!)

>>18164110
The problem Imperial law enforcement is facing is simple: sedition. So many greedy, short-sighted, self-interested System Overlords see the receding light of the Astronomican as an opportunity for personal profit that rebellion is taking more worlds from us than Leviathan at this point.

The worst of it is, of course, that we put down rebellions like that all the time, piecemeal. It's their frustrating simultaneity that confounds my efforts to restore order. I very strongly recommend that we scramble those Arbites...and Navy...assets we possess that are uncommitted to the hub worlds of areas plagued by this selfish independence, to help cooler heads prevail.

>>18164159
Enough! You can't fight here, this is the war room!

>>18164167
Chapter Master, I must insist you remain here for the duration of the opening talks. This involves your chapter, and it would be prudent to be present for any discussions that may have a lasting impact upon your chapter.

I can't believe the words I'm hearing- retreat? Never! I'd rather die then be the man who compromised the boundaries set in place over ten thousand years ago!
The solution is obvious! More power to the Adeptus and better coordination with the space marines.

>>18164159
Yeah? well, you are the heretic because you don't want to save the Emprah

>>18164238
Your solution is improbable, at best, Canoness. Moving the Emperor has too many risks and no clear reward.

He is not moving.

>>18164255
then we build the dread around him! It's pretty simple if you think about it

Gentlemen, while I can't just make our problems go away, I belive I have found a way to increase my contribution to the survival of mankind.

While our current reruitment methods have proven sufficient for ten millenia, they have had an unfortunate side effect.

Our best and most reliable psykers join the ranks of the space marines, inquisition or the primaris psykers. While this has kept all three of these divisions strong, they are all sterile.

This means that our best and most stable psykers never transfer their positive traits to the next generation. This has resulted in the stagnation of the quality of psykers throughout the imperium.

I suggest a breeding program that would focus first and foremost on the stability and sanity of any resulting psykers. This would improve both our military ability and the number of astropaths, thus improving our long-range communication and logistics capacity.

The emperor's needs would stillbe met with our standard recruiting practices, of course.

>>18164321
Fuck You, Heretic.

>>18164321
Are you saying that you want to breed more witches?

Not just any witches, witches of proven warp hole tearing reality splitting ancestry?

The Psykers may be disciplined now but their children will not be. The last thing the Imperium needs is a legion of untrained alpha+ witches unleashing hellfire

>>18164376
And, this is why the stated focus of the program is stability, loyalty and sanity, not power.

>>18164202

Do you honestly see any point in this meeting Custodes? We have soon-to-be-incarnated-by-Emperor-himself people suggesting thing that cannot come to pass without tearing Imperium apart, Adeptus Sorroritas suggesting turning Golden Throne into some sort of Deff-kan and a Navigator house representetive high on drugs pretending to be a creature of myth from ancient Merican texts.

And keep an eye on that Bloody Magpie, he is checking out your helmet.

>>18164423
that's what you say. And yet I have more than enough work without new psykers

>>18164444
It's....a....medical...condition...

*Hacking coughs and wheezing*

From having...too many...lungs...

As you wish, this project will be rejected, but there is not much else I can do to improve. My department is already as efficient as it's going to get, so the best I can do is maintain my current level of contribution.

>>18164592
which is a pathetic level

As I am sure you are all aware, the tyranid threat is not to be taken lightly. But we may be in grave danger before Hydra rears its ugly head in our galaxy. Remember the bold but ultimately damning course of action that Lord Kryptmann took. Leviathan is still very much a threat, and I dare not give thought to the abominations spawned from its time with the orks. He bought us time, yet we have done little to utilize it. The Ordo Xenos requires more more forces and more technology. I shudder when I recall that the tyranid abominations have even begun to withstand exterminatus.

>>18164623
You are apsolutely correct, it's not like the empire would fall apart without the astropaths' ability to trasfer messages across the imperium, or without the librarians, or without the black ships and their crewmen who get eaten on a daily basis to ensure that the emperor's existance is maintained propertly, or the psychic inquisitors we provide, or the agents we provide to the adeptus astronomica. In fact, why don't you go on and kill us all right now.
We are so useless, after all.
Now, does someone actually relevant have an opininion on this matter.

>>18164623
Madam, I would have you hold your tongue when such a vital issue is being discussed.

oh. . . God. . . FUUUUcking. DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT.

>>18164216
While I applaud your contribution, the factionalizing of the adeptus and military was intended to keep any one element of the Imperium from being able to seize power. By increasing their powers the ammount of frictioni would only increase. My suggestion is that we find the means to repair the throne. In my travels I have come across reports of a technically advanced culture of abhumans known as the Sq-

>>18164592

*TWITCH*

>>18164765
>>18164765

*ANGRIER TWITCH*

>>18164321
Such an endeavor could easily fall under the corruption of tzeentch if not undertaken with utmost caution. The difficulty lies in the fact that a psyker will not have proven his mettle until after service in the field, at which point he will be unusable for breeding purposes.

>>18164178
Chapter Master, as the venerable Custodes have already informed you, to leave this meeting would be tantamount to heresy. I do not pretend to be your master, but we live to serve of the Emperor. You will return to Cadia soon enough, hopefully with the forces needed to break the siege. That is one of the goals of our gathering.
>>18164193
Do you have the numbers to effectively pacify all of these planets? The Guard cannot spare a single man at this dark hour, until Cadia has once again been cleansed of the Traitor Legions. The navy too, is stretched. Honestly, the only feasible option as I see it is a joint Arbites and Sororitas campaign to bring such worlds back into the fold as is possible, while performing exterminatus on the most prominent separatists, hopefully scaring the rest back to compliance. This would be a long and solitary task, and would receive little outside support.
>>18164167
I personally cannot approve of a frateris militant, especially when the amply effective Sororitas has such a strong presense already. However, it is,not my sole decision, and I call on all representatives to voice their agreement or disagreement for the creation of such an organisation. As a counteroffer, perhaps we can make an arrangement. For each rebel planet the Adepta reclaims for the Imperium, your organization will be given primary recruitment rights to the future population therein. One in five of these planets will be given to the Adepta as a fortress world.

>>18164765

Chapter Master of the Relictors Astartes chapter here.

Repairing the throne is of absolute necessity. If I may suggest it, with the greatest respect for the Adeptus Mechanicus and their work, we should consider acquiring Xenos tech, of the type used by the Eldar and Necrons for immortality. Although this technology is certainly impure in the eyes of the Omnissiah, with it we may be able to sustain our Emperor's glory. Perhaps we could even find something that would allow him to leave his throne and lead humanity into battle once more.

>>18164883

Calm down. Everyone here loves the Imperium of Man. And Hates Heresy. There is no need to Summarily Execute anyone here for incompetence.

>>18164907

Isn't that Right, Ladies and Gentlemen? We are all here to ensure the future of the Emperor, and all of mankind

The Xanthite faction of Ordo Xenos seconds your proposal.

While the use of xenotech is unnacceptable, I agree that the trhone is chief priority. The astromican goes out and the Imperium is reduced to countless issolated worlds waiting to die. With respect to our esteemed colleague Fuklaw, the purpose of this meeting was for everyone to be as well informed as possible. Clearance can be given by any one of the highlords to de-classify such information.

I did not know there was a Xanthite faction of the ordo Xenos, Brother Bellerev..... The manipulation of the warp for the cause of man is under the auspices of the ordo Malleus. Have this imposter thrown in the nearest pain glove for stupidity!

Oh God-Emperor.

Guys. I just realized.

We all interrupted him.

*safe*

Comrade-Commissar Lord Zinoviev of the Valhallan SSR, present. If I may put forward a bold suggestion. Adeptus Mechanicus and Administratum comrades in our noble union have calculated that losses in efficiency of production and tithe production to 80%-this is mainly due to the towering differences in wealth between many Imperial citizens. We suggest that, with the introduction of a new, standardized tithe system and government, we could eliminate theses losses and reduce the power of the bourgeios...I mean corrupt governors. I yield to the floor.

>>18165017

The survival of humanity is at stake. We should be considering all options available, not arguing over what constitutes heresy and trying to kill a Chapter Master over it.

>>18164817
We are aware of the archenemy and the fact that it's eye is constantly upon us. The project itself would start out very slowly, so that we may develop and test the proper security protocols. For this reason, the low number of psykers that have been tested in the battlefield and returned to terra would not be much of an issue in the initial phase of development.

The long term goal of this project would be to procure the assistance of the Adeptus Mechanicus in storing the genetic material of every psyker that we deem worthy before they are shipped off to battle. Once they have proven that they posess the traits we are looking for, a message would be sent and their genetic material would be cleared for artificial conception by the Mechanicus.

Unfortunatley, we lack knowledge of the details of the technology in question, so it would be up to the magos to confirm or deny the viability of this plan.

HERESY GROWS FROM IDLENESS. AND THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR RIGHTEOUS ZEAL!

TO FULLY ELIMINATE THE TYRANID THREAT, WE MUST MAKE THE MOST OF WHAT RESOURCES WE HAVE.

CURRENTLY, THE WHOLE OF THE IMPERIAL GUARD ARE NOT. FUCKING. ANGRY. ENOUGH.

WE MUST QUICKLY BEAT OUT THE FEAR OF THE ALIEN, SO THAT WE MAY FUCK THEIR SHIT UP WITH THE FURY OF TEN THOUSAND OF THE ANGRIEST GODDAMN MARINES THAT EVER SKULLFUCKED HERESY AND LIVED TO TEABAG IT.

>>18165027

It is also a Xenos concern. Many Tyranids have been found capable of strange powers only explainable as warp manipulation. Any Astartes officer here will have plenty of experience dealing with Eldar witches. Hold your tongue.

Might I interest any of you with some refreshments while we wait for Comissar Fuklaw to settle down?

Mr. Fuklaw, if the creation of an 'Angry Deathwatch' would secure greater support, then I shall personally see to it. But I must say that even singular members of your chapter are the cause of many...discrepancies...within our forces. Are youquite sure this would benefit us?

>>18165246

Im Good. . . im good.

But in ALL FUCKING seriousness, we must look to improve our current forces moral. Overall, the reliability (and skill) of most units i served with, before transferring to the FUCKING ANGRY MARINES, has been lacking. All on a repeating case of NOT BEING FUCKING ANGRY ENOUGH.

Maybe we could take the Imperium and move it somewhere else?

Increasing the size of my former chapter to outside mandated levels, is (of course) Heresy.

What i propose is that we attempt to disseminate the teachings of righteous FUCKING ANGER to the Imperial Guard. The common Guardsman, while loyal on the whole, has very frail will, that is easily broken with the prospect of facing an UTTER FUCKTON of Xenos that are capable of draining entire star systems of the life blood of our Imperium.

Yes, but have you considered that such strategies might actually -decrease- guard recruitment? Emperor preserve the steel-plated scrotums of the guardsmen, but even Krieg may have second thoughts before joining when being educated in your brand of righteous fury.

>>18165330
Yes it is. They are not shooting while there are Xenos nearby.

>>18165330

*GETS BEAT FUCKING RED* WHAT THE FLYING FUCK IS TH-. . . Love of the Common Gaurdsman is . . . A. . . good. . . way to assist . . . in . . . unit cohesion. It is well known, however, that Fear and Hatred work well together in helping us crush our enemies. When was the last time Peace and Love won the day?

I do recall, that one of the Chapters of the Mighty Adeptus Astartes had fallen to the Wiles of Slannesh due to NOT BEING FUCKING ANGRY ENOUGH AND BEING SPARKLY XENO LOVING FA- *ahem* due to not maintaining constant Vigilance and Hatred for the Great Enemy.

Only the Emperor should be deserving of our love.

>>18165420
Yes Guardsman, do you have something to say?

Incidentally you still haven't replied to my queston, Fuklaw.

>>18165444

>>18165420
Hush Alex.

>>18165442
So, our recent modificatons to female Comissar uniorms is also to your dislike?

>>18165434

Obviously, training methods would need to be modified to reduce the Mortality rate of the training for your Average Gaurdsman. Both the foundation, and the goal of such training is to encourage (AND EVENTUALLY FUCKING MANDATE) Faith through Zeal.

Something I'm sure members present of the Ecclesiarchy can appreciate

>>18165467
Oh yes, that's right....
Permission to speak, Granted.

>The Golden Throne, the Highlords have agreed to make known to all of you, is failing. And the noble Mechanicus, despite their valiant efforts, is unable to repair it.

So your say, that the thing they build, and that it is their only job to maintain. Is failing.

Impossible.

>>18165482

*TWITCH*

>>18165482

Member of the Astartes or no, you so much as breathe another word of the extreme tequnique the Commissarat has gone through to ensure moral.

I. Will. Crush. Your. Goddamn. Head.

>>18165509
I jest, I jest. But I do understand your desire for harsher methods in training Guardsmen. To that end, someone recently forwarded me the resume of one, Kharn Equirry of Anger with assurances that he is indeed "a swell guy" where his personal resume has him personally slaughtering an entire Slanesshi cult and emerging unscathed. Here is his image.

>>18165493
we have to entrench

Men, we seem to have forgotten. Recently the Blood Ravens had created a bio-weapon to use against the Tyranid infection in their sector. We can use not only this bio-weapon on hive fleets that have had no contact with any potential survivors of the one they faced, but we could potentially develop more bio-weapons against other hive fleets. We simply require brave soldiers to gather genetic samples and the technology to disperse this toxin.

And on that note, could we not capture other xenos such as orks or eldar and create bio-weapons against their kind? They do not adapt as quickly and will likely fall if we can act fast enough.

I am not sure if this tactic will work against the powers of chaos, however. It is unknown if their taint would have any effect on the weapon, or vice versa.

>>18165555
Imma entrench the shit out of you

>>18165589

Would you mind digging bloody furrows through her after I'm done having sex with her?

As to the proposed use of xenos tech to prolong the Emperor's life, by chapter-master of the Relictors, I doubt very much that necron technology would be plausible without implementing their abominable necrodermis. Out of the question, in my humble opinion. The Eldar are likewise as difficult. They guard their technology greedily. Of course, either of these options are extremely desperate bordering on heretical. I would not think to pursue them til the very last moment.

>>18165555
Yes.... So you say that we should have all other Guard Regiments take a period to train upon Krieg itself to toughen them up, as well as train them in trench warfare? I'd imagine all that entrenching toughens your legs?

>>18165569
A good suggesstion, but the Eldar have trickery and powerful psykers that could easily gain the knowledge and evade our weapon carriers. The Orks may well indeed be laid low by a properly devised weapon, but at the same time, have you ever seen anything to suggest that they have any sort of reguar contact between warbands?

>>18165549

*MASSIVE ANGER TWITCHING*

I can not comment on the Commissars that the Ordos wish to employ for extreme circumstances.

The training methods i employ have no basis in strength of the body, but strength of Faith. With faith, a Single member of my FUCKING AWESOME CHA- Former Chapter can bring an entire Ork waaagh to a total halt.

If you doubt the validity of that statement, review the AAR (After Action Reports) detailing the use of a maneuver known more commonly as the "Angry Marine Bomb".

ITS WELL FUCKING KNOWN THAT IT RIVALS THE ANGRYNESS OF A GODDAMN EVERSOR! NOW THATS FUCKING ANGRY!

>>18165549
I find the symbol on his hat rather disturbing, so may I suggest that someone investigate just who forwarded this resume?

>>18165601
>>18165589

>>18165628
Well you could ask those little blue things? They seem to like to show off their technology, and although it is assuredly heretical, the likely hood of it requiring the sacrifices that the perfidious eldar, or the arrogant Necron will ask are non-existant.

>>18165663
I believe the Colonel's name was.... Peter Noone... I thought the name suspicious so i have already dispatched a team of scouts to find him and question him.

>>18165628

Inquisitor, i would think your Ordo's interrogation techniques would be enough to reveal the SPA- . . . Eldar's use for those. . . shiny. . . uhh

What are the called again? Life Rocks? I generally dont pay more than A FEW FUC- moments to Eldar. . . JUST LONG ENOUGH TO TAKE MY FUCKING CHAINSWORD STRAIGHT THRO- . . . my enemies.

>>18165636
They may be psykers, but with the proper secrecy and planning, a surprise deep strike perhaps piloted by men slated to never return could do the job, no?

And why do you bring up ork warbands communicating with each other?

>>18165684

The Tau are more shortlived the most of the enemies I've encountered on the battlefeild. How could they hold the key to sustaining our Emperor?

>>18165078
You know, I don't think it would be too difficult to begin a... how do I say this delicately... harvest a psyker's reproductive material before they are sent into the field, catalogue it, and then, after they have proven themselves, put that gathered material to use?

I daresay the Astartes themselves could perform a similar practice with their neophytes so that our stocks of able-bodied youths are not irrevocably impacted by their intermittant recruitment drives.

Indeed, such a program could be used to... again, I must phrase this delicately... reduce the prevalence of impurities in the human and abhuman genomes across Imperial Space.

A less stringent method of acquiring psykers might be worth mentioning as well, but I do know how everyone has their own particular sentiments about the mere existence of witches.

>>18165684
YES!

Thanks to our healthy way of life and scientifically-designed workout routines, the average life expectancy of 12% of the civilian population has increased from 32 to 33 years in the last seven decades!

I'm sure we can do something for your Emperor.

>>18165569
I raise again that hive fleet Leviathan has been in contact with the orks for a fair amount of time. Thus, their biology is by now far removed from the 'norm', shall we say, of tyranid organisms by absorption of ork biomass. It would not do to use such a weapon prematurely, only to have it be both ineffective & simultaneously assimilated.

Now that everyone seems to have calmed down...

You don't need me to tell you that the degredation of our interplanetary infrastructure and logistics is quickly becoming a major concern, and as Fleet Admiral for a large chunk of the Imperium's interior, I suppose that this problem is mine to fix.

However, despite the best efforts of myself and those under my command, the Navy simply cannot accomplish what is expected of us using the technology currently available.

Our primary system of faster-than-light communications, psychic transmission, is unreliable at best, and the fading light of the Astronomicon is making navigation difficult as well. Some of the suggestions made by the Representative of the Senate of Navigators and the Master of the Adaptus Astra Telepathica may serve to alleviate our ails, if successful, but still I feel that our current system cannot be maintained indefinitely, and must eventually be replaced, though by what I am not certain.

On the subject of Warp Travel, it is a fickle beast, subject to putting our ships and crews in immense danger, and may very well be fueling the ruinous powers with its use. Certainly you agree that the Navy, the backbone of the Imperium cannot continue to run solely on such means? I am somewhat familiar with the means by which the Eldar travel through space, and have hears rumors and musings to the affect that the Immortal Emperor was constructing a system of similar design. This is all I know, and if anyone knows more, I implore you to speak.

>>18165750

WHAT THE FLYING FUCK ARE YOU GOING ON ABOUT!?


>i originally brought Fuklaw in to troll this thread, im surprised the amount of fun im having in here.

>>18165735
Because, unless we can ensure that every warband is annhilated, another will take it's place. Orks are remarkably difficult to destroy and there is still the issue of their spores to be addressed. A bioweapon with the ability to do as you so claim would consume itself in the absence of proper fuel. Shortly after the spores would sproit, leading to feral warbands rampaging again.


>>18165678
At ease guardswoman. Captain General, might I request that these two:
>>18165589
>>18165601
be removed from this chamber?

GOD DAMMIT FUKLAW IF YOU SHOOT ME AGAIN I AM GOING TO SODOMIZE YOU WITH THAT GUN.

JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE A SKULL ON YOUR HAT LIKE THE REST OF THE COMMISSARS IS NO REASON TO GET SNIPPY. WHO KNOWS, IF I HAVE MY WAY MAYBE YOU CAN HAVE TWO SKULLS ON IT.

EH? EHH?

>>18165738
I imagine they mush have some way to extend the lives of their leaders sir.

Barring that, they do seem to keep their technology separate from the warp. So though it may be distasteful, I am sure it is free of warptaint.

>>18165684
The Tau have almost no warp related technology, and the most problematic parts of the golden throne are warp tech, so there is nothing to learn there.
Our best bet would probably be to send explorator fleets to find warp tech-related STC, study eldar technology or have the mechanicus research it on their own from the technology they know already.

>>18165636

>>18165768

Again, it seems we will have to FUCKI- . . acquire some of the GODDAMN SPACE ELV- . . . Eldar and have the Ordos bleed what Knowledge and Technology from our Enemy

>>18165773

I'd BLAM THE FU-. . . remove them, but it seems my las-pistol's battery died, too many shots fired on Maximal. And Chainswords arent healthy for the upholstery in this Warroom.

>>18165798
Impressive fortitude in the face of atomics.... Indeed, I move that as part of their training, newly inducted members of the Imperial Guard be made to have one or more "sessions" of training on Krieg. Perhaps this will toughen the rank and file as Fuklaw desires.

>>18165442
Oh, I'm glad you asked; I once met a man in the Halo Stars who managed to pacify his enemies with vaguely Thorian speaches of pacifism and obnoxious antics whilst shouting about his world being made of both Love and Peace. Though he wasn't much of a person, more of a... what's the word... some type of living hybrid of human genetics and dark age technology.

What a haul that was, but I still can't get that song he liked to sing out of my head, but that's what happens when you don't thoroughly wipe your new servitors before activating the MIU.

>>18165846
Well, if that is the problem.... Here is my bolt pistol.

>>18165873

>>18165873
Krieg is one planet, and guardsmen number in the trillions. Increase the difficulty level of their training and have our angriest, most zelous priests speak the Emperor's word at every training session across the imperium.
That should work just as well.

To be honest, though, I think that we should also consider giving them beter guns. And orbital support. Can't go wrong with orbital support.

>>18165790
Indeed, they have no warp tech. But they have devised a means of travel that skips across the surface of the warp. It is infinitely more reliable, is not hindered by the webway, but does come at the cost of speed. I suggest we move to acquire some of their vessels for further stidy.

>>18165895
FUCK YOU *BLAM*
>>18165589
AND YOU *BLAM*
>>18165601
AND YOU TO FUCKER *BLAM*

. . . now, we where discussing?

>>18165930
If Krieg is one planet, let worlds that pay no tithe to the Emperor be cleansed of life, and become the new training grounds of the Guard.
We shall distill the best facets of training from the best Regiments of the Guard

Krieg, Cadia, Catachan, Mordia, Tallarn, Armageddon, Vostroya, Valhalla, and the countless others. Let them all benefit from each other's knowledge.

>>18165770
Making babies, Commissar, that is what I am on about. If we secure the gonads of imperial agents who are, by their nature and use in the field, both rare and difficult or impossible to breed after being proven of viable stock and loyal soul, we could disseminate their legacy unto another generation.

>>18165938
And, more importantly, we do not know how their warp drives, sensors and navigation interact with the shadow of the warp that the tyranids generate.
I suspect that this may be their greatest use should they be immune to the shadow.

>>18165773
If another warband would arise, could we not just bombard them again?It doesn't seem to be a problem.

>>18165892
>Rewatching trigun at this very moment. Barely managed to stop laughing...

>>18165930

As Fleet Admiral Horatio Seconds had already stated, the Imperial Navy does not have enough resources to provided full-time support.

The FUCKLO- Innumerable amounts of Guardsmen we have (after training) would be enough to help stem the onslaught of Xenos incursions across all sectors.

We then could use the window the Imperial Guard would then be capable of providing to plan, stage and FUCKING EXECUTE THE BEST GODDAMN SKULLFUCKING A XENOS RACE WOULD EVER FUCKING RECEIVE.

Better Munitions ground side would help. And i would like a Plasma Pistol.

>>18165962
...
Or we could colonise them and give the mechanicus more resources to make ships for the navy.
Ships we need rather badly.

>>18165980
The problem is, that that method of staying back and observing, just to bombard them again would require far more ships than could be reliably tasked to such a mundane purpose.

>>18165980
We have been applying such tactics for ages, and look where it brought us. The only reliable way to cleanse the Ork xenos is exterminatus, and many worlds they invade are too valuable to cleanse.

>>18166022
You do bring up a good arguement, but i offer that such work could be done alongside training. The Mechanicus can construct their refineries and at the same time, construct training areas with infractions during training being hard work in the mines and refineries. The presence of the Mechanicus can also serve to better train armor crewmen as they will be properly initiated to the rites and ways to properly awaken and mainain the Machine Spirits of such armor.

As far as I know, orks infestations can be permanently cleansed from a world, but it takes lots of prometheum and lots of time. A concentrated, active effort to remove orks takes PDFs generations, but it can be done.
The problem tends to be the lack of will to send troops out to do the actual work. Most planetary governors are content to just sit back behind their forts and shoot down the orks every time their warbands reach a certain size.
And, then these neglected orks fight amongst themselves, someone unites them and the PDF suddenly can't take care of the problem. Next thing you know, they are taking their waaagh to the next world.

>>18166022

GODDAMN PANSYASSSHIPS JUST FLY IN CI- . . . the primary mission for our navy is to provide support and assist in deployment of forces to secure our sectors.

The amount of time and resources for the GODDAMN COGBOYS to create a force large enough to combat the Tyranid Hive Fleet. We may as well give up a third of all of our conquered sectors ON A GODDAMN SILVER PLATTER

>leave to do errands for a two hours
>come back
>thread still alive and kicking
>mfw

>>18166097

Given Orkz prone to lack of organization (They have PRACTICALLY FUCKING THROWN THEMSELVES ASS FIRST ONTO MY CHAINSWORD) and tendency to kill each other as much as any other target, they shouldnt be our primary targets for consideration.

The World-Devouring Tyranids should be our primary focus. While Orkz do loot our holy weapons, they often FUCK UP ANY GODDAMN THING WORTH PICKING UP AND SHOOTING. Tyranid hive fleets exponentially grow stronger for every world the devourer.

>>18166022
>Ships we need rather badly.
As I was about to mention.

The majority of the Fleet's power lies in our most ancient, revered vessels, relics from near the dark age of technology, ships of which all new constructions -- with no offense meant to the Mechanicus -- are crude, imperfect replicas by comparison.

As well as the old designs have served us, these ships cost untold amounts in manpower and natural resources to produce, and are being destroyed faster than they can be created.

It is for these reasons that I believe it in the best interest of His Navy and His Imperium that we re-evaluate our shipbuilding plans in favor of something more cost-affective and dare I venture, more practical.

>>18166097
It does not help that even after the expenditure of necessary resources, we garner nothing in return. Such is the absurdity of ork technology that even in death, they mock us.

>>18166116

WELL IF IT ISNT THE GODDA- . . . It seems the Warmaster has returned. We should allow him to catch up on our current deliberations.

>>18166097
I know this will take immense manpower due to the scale we are talking about here, but could we not enforce a stricter watch on the planet governors? Many planets have fallen due to the carelessness and lack of action on the governor's part. Take for instance the worlds the Traitor astartes legion of the Word Bearers, Emperor preserve me, have taken over, or even attacked. They all started with chaos cults sown across the populace. Stricter watch on planetary matters could go a long way in protecting from the taint of the ruinous powers.

>>18166097
But of course, we could have this weapon mass-produced and highly explosive (that is, it spreads quickly), and we could then send this out to those planetary governors to use instead of bullets.

Of course, if you are not up to this plan of action, we could trick the orks. If we can find a big enough warband, we can send them a fake message from a nearby enemy of ours and send the orks in to fight in our stead. We solve either our ork problem or whatever the other problem was, or both.

>>18165768
Actually, if I may address the member of the Navis Nobilite on this issue. If, as the speaker suggests, we must cooperate and give up large swaths of our own power, all of us together, unanymously, for the betterment of the imperium as a whole, then I would posit that the Navigator Houses relinquish or begin installing the void abaci they've been rumored to be collecting. Short-range vessels and fleets that can utilize what examples of these devices we have could free up Navigators for more important and longer range tasks, indeed, we might even be able to divine the method of manufacture and begin producing examples of this wondrous device. After all, the Nobilite are valuable while even a rare example of technology can be sacrificed if one can return its spirit to another shell; humans can't be rebuilt so easily, as much as we like to try.

>>18166179
Indeed, I suggest we have more refreshments while the Lord Solar is brought to speed.
*pours coffee into a mug*

>>18166188
I seem to have dwelled away from my own subject of talking. Stricter planetary defence enforcement would also help against the Xenos Eldar pirate raids, the Ork menace, and reports about so called Tyranid "gene stealers" have been reaching me as of late, which would also be easier to track down and purge, preventing even more tyranid corruption. The whole system would also allow for a better defence in case of invasion as to hold out longer before a support fleet can arrive.

>>18166112
An astute statement, my irascible comrade. The future Tyranids threat is one that truly cannot be defeated with brute force. And, seeing as I am a man who has made an extremely successful career on brute force, that should be a telling indicator of the severity of the issue. What we need is an insurmountable tactical advantage; something that renders their numbers and, most importantly, the Hive Mind useless.

>>18166206
Speaking of divining methods of manufacture...
I belive that the Mechanicus is still in posession of the ark mechanicum, the most advanced piece of STC technology that I can currently think of.
Intense study of their most holy secrets could provide the mechanicum with a great deal of lost knowledge that can then be used to improve just about anything else.
There is also the matter of the unexplored labyrinths underneath the surface of Mars where the Land raider STC was discovered. Sending a large, well organised and equiped expedition force into the labyrinths could provide a great deal of useful knowledge.
If sending men in is too dangerous, the mechanicum can always dig and remove one layer of dirt after the other and then shoot anything in there once it is no longer in the relative safety of the labyrinth.

>>18166032
Why not just build more orbital habitats? I do realize that our productive capacity is both limited and strained, but I believe my late master once submitted a report about a hive world that only had its resource gathering assets planetside with several billion people living, working, loving, and expiring in orbiting hives. Each of which, I might add that had the capacity, given the resources, to construct a copy of itself within a few decades.

The were in the middle of a truly massive population and production boom when our fleet exterminated them for developing hereteknical materials. If only they hadn't fully implemented their intelligence systems so thoroughly, we might have gleaned invaluable data on their macroproduction methods.

>>18166188
Can we afford the men needed to watch each petty, squabbling noble? And, at the risk of sounding like an ascetic, can any other institution be trusted with the power to intervene with any and all planetary governments? Thought I wistfully dream of military governors on evey world, my reason warns against the concentration of power in any one place, lest we repeat of Reign of Blood.

Where am I?! Who are you people?!

What is being discussed?!

>>18166307
Ah, a man after my own mnemocircuitry. Unfortunately... circumstances are of such that the plan to strip mine the Labyrinth of Night after my youthful attempt at an expedition was rejected. The Magos in charge of appeals was kind enough to shrive my leg as punishment before the chirurgeon was scheduled to replace the others I had lost.

>>18166308
Interesting... My predecessor here at the Adeptus Arbites has left quite a mess for me, so I have mostly been processing priority reports for the past few years with barely any time to go through the less urgent ones, so I had not heard of this yet.

>>18166283

It is possible (though time consuming) to integrate Advanced Auspex-Bioscanners to security checkpoints to allow for immediate detection for Xenos attempting to Masquerade as a Human. And for human infected with any Genestealer strain.

Do we have a fabricator-general in here?

>>18166283
>>18166387

Why not just impose a strict quarantine on the planets? Let only the most needed supplies pass through.

>>18166307
There is, I believe, only one condition on which I and my fellow Highlords would agree on such a venture: the inclusion of a SIZEABLE number of Grey Knight Purifiers in this search. Otherwise, the taint of the Dark Mechanicum would make almost any prize worthless if not actively hostile. However, this would be a grave intrusion on AdMech sovereignty, and only the with the full blessing of the Fabricator General and the support of the other ranking members of the Mechanicus could it be allowed.

>>18166301
Then it seems we should turn to the Ordo Xenos for ideas.
>something that renders their numbers and, most importantly, the Hive Mind useless
Perhaps the solution to the latter may be the solution to the former as well.
If a portion of the swarm is cut off from the main hive mind, does it not lose much of its coordination and tactical abilities?

>>18166351
That is true. Perhaps not actual military leadership is needed, but placing a small team of moderately high ranked officers, or perhaps just one or two, keeping watch and making sure the governors do not relinquish certain duties would be to our advantage. I knew this would require a lot of manpower when I proposed this, but I believe the payoff would be sufficient to offset the investments.

>>18166406
>>18166406
We would first have to identify the problematic planets before it is too late. We would then have to impose a quarantine, and that takes ships since all the really dangerous ones can make their own spaceships.
We are low on ships.
that just about sums it up.

>>18166112
I believe the solution to this problem is a simple one. We must re-activate the Iron Men. We will have armies that will hold their ground without faltering or showing weakness. We shall have ships with no crew, aside from a navigator and a few others need very little life support, allowing us to make more room for larger weapons, and the ships themselves even more likely to survive the hive fleets wrath. The survival of our glorious Empire is at stake, ladies and gentlemen. If I must commit the most grievous of all tech-heresy to do so, I shall, and may the Omnissiah refuse his mercy to my soul. May the Machine God bless us all, for we need it in the years ahead.

>>18166422
Yes, when contact with higher-order members of the swarm, simpler organisms revert to a state somewhat akin to a rabid grox driven insane. It is a mess to deal with and I'd sooner wish the men in charge declare an invasion by Tyranids worthy of immediate exterminatus and pick through the ashes.

However, I have heard interesting things about Rippers and other 'natural' examples of Tyranid genetic expression; the Rippers themselves tend to be used as gatherers, but there has been a few examples within our fleet of pict-captures showing brood-mats of rippers pupating into more complex form. Find a way to mess with them and you can potentially decimate a hive fleet's ground forces with one blow. That or give the Navy really big guns to snipe a swarm's Hive Ships from extreme range.

>>18166510
I should kill you where you stand for such a remark. What then, when the Iron Men rise up as they did against the ancients, Even the might of the ancients was brought low before the Iron Men. As much as it pains me to say i, the Imperium as it is now is less than a pale shadow of the Golden Age.

>>18166406
The point would be to have a pro-active defence, to make sure quarantining planets (or worse) would not have to happen. And quarantining all risk planets would cost even more manpower to enforce.
>>18166387
Interesting enginseer, although I fear that it might cost too much in manpower, time and funds for a systematic deployment of these. Perhaps to limit our investment needed this could be systematically used on the border worlds only? Those that have the highest risk of xenos or chaos contact? That would already lower the odds of high risk worlds infecting others with xenos plagues or chaos worship.

>>18166422
While that is technically true, any attempts to attack hive fleets are an enormous drain on our forces. Even during the relatively dormant state of intersystem travel, their ships are still deadly. They have genestealers in wait, and even numerous monstrous creatures that patrol capillary tunnels. I believe we would be better served to devise a means to nullify their synapse web, even as they nullify our warp travel & communication. Even better if we could damage the hive mind itself. While synapse destruction setves us in the battle, the hive mind does nothing but learn from such incidents.

>>18166450

Then allow the Commissariat to do what it does best.

If needed i can permanently step out of Retirement and return to Active Duty.
And i have had the pleasure of working with several other commissars that whose names i would put forth for such a venture. Including one whom I've personally known to have been seeking a small break from all of the Excitement on the front lines.

>>18166510
Wait, weren't the Iron Men insane? Also, stop trolling the rest of the congregation, Mechanicus jokes don't translate well to the rest of the Imperium's servants.

>>18166450
Hmm, I see. By placing them near the top but low enouh to avoid undue attention, these agents can both keep watch for rebellion and work to increase efficiency and effectiveness within the framework of the existing institutions. A fairly well-fashioned idea. I had just about given up hope for progress here after the wave of HERESY back-and-forth between competing Iniquisitors. Thank the Emperor for Commissar Fuklaw and the Custodes.
>>18166422
You aren't hinting at using Nulls to disrupt the Shadow in the Warp, are you?

>>18166510
On one hand, this will result the extermination of the human race
One the other hand, this will result in the extermination of everyone else.
I belive that we have a "final, spiteful revenge plan" if everyone else falls through

So, no, I would rather not reactivate the iron men, they seem to be rather genocidal.
What about the men of stone, the creators of the iron men? Can we use them somehow?

>>18166480

A simple task for the Imperium. Simply apply quarantines to all planets, and test them for the taint of the alien. Those who are free of it will not suffer an entire quarantine. Those that have some of the Xenos will suffer the Emperor's wrath for allowing the Alien to flourish.

>>18166571
Should it be necessary, I can put forth the names of my best Scout Sergeants to aid in this endevour, as they can signal my chapter's forces and aid in any disciplinary action that might be necessary.

*wwwwwwWWWWWWWUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRR*
"Systems Online, My Shield is Hatred"
Captcha: Something terabel

>>18166510
That I cannot allow. Even as theory. Need I remind the council that the War of Iron and Stone Men is the most probable cause for the Dark Age of Technology itself? To reactivate the Iron Men now would be the killing blow for humanity. Limited computing capacity is acceptable, but artificial sentience is perhaps the greatest of all heresies.

>>18166609
Damnit wrong picture

>>18166571
>>18166574
If the honoured Commissariat would be willing to lend the Adeptus Arbites aid in this endevour, I believe it would be able to implement relatively fast.

>>18166561
They rose up. But we survived. They did not. We can win the next War of the Iron Men. Several of my colleges on a nearby dead world have been experimenting with Deathstrike missiles in an attempt to convince the machine spirits to improve the accuracy of the weapon. What they have discovered is data that may hold the key to our survival in a war against Iron Men. It appears that Deathstrike missiles and their ilk, when detonated, cause nearby machine spirits to become angry, or even die. They have titled this effect "The Omnissiahs Wrath", and experiments on Tau tech has had the same effect. This may be crucial if the Iron Men turn on us after we defeat the Hive Fleets.

>>18166582
You seem rather set at turning our weapons upon ourselves. Surely Guard assets would be better used elsewhere than putting loyal systems in quarantine?

>>18166656
Servitors or, in a last ditch effort, Iron Men would work just as well as the Fleshb- I mean Guardsmen.

>>18166582

Then you separate our armies and dely SWIFT FUCKING RETRIBUTION to our enemies while we attempt to separate those that you would deem "innocent"

"There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt."

>>18166656

Doing what? We are all well aware that the Imperial Guard works best in conjunction with the Astartes: why not use them to protect the planets that they are mustered from?

If they are enforcing a quarantine, then they would be defending those same planets, yes? From both threats inside AND out, be it the foul Xenos or the predations of Chaos.

YOU IGNORANT FUCKS!
I TAKE MY CENTENNIAL LEAVE OF THE SPA...BLOOD RAVENS, WHO I HAVE ALWAYS SERVED FAITHFULLY, AND I DISCOVER THE IMPERIUM WHICH I HAVE PROTECTED FOR EONS DIVIDED DUE TO POLITICAL BULLSHIT?!
I HAVE HALF OF MIND TO RIP MOST OF YOU INTO PIECES AND TURN THE OTHER HALF INTO PASTE!

While the iron men are out of the question, this did give me an idea. What about robots? Legio cybernetica should be able to make them and the tyranids can't eat them.
How feasible would swarming the tyranids with robots be?

I do belive, however, that the best way to kill the tyranids is in space. They can't eat anything other then themselves there and imperial spaceships have little biomass.
Diverting more resources into ship production seems like a wise idea.

Deathstrike Missiles are capable of destroying machine spirits? Can this be fitted to other weapon systems?
>>18166627
Ah, Vvenerable Bjorn. Do you have any ancient knowledge to impart concerning the Iron Men, and the threats we now face?

>>18166510
I was under the impression that the Adeptus Mechanicus removed all form of humour from their minds. Did you glitch, great magos? Or perhaps accidentally insert the wrong brains this morning?

>>18166690
Bjorn, your paint is rubbing off.... We can see your Wolf hereldry

>>18166676

If you follow THAT logic, then why not just slaughter every man, woman, and child for their guilt?!

As for SWIFT RETRIBUTION? The Imperial Guard is hardly "swift", but if they were stationed to protect their own planets, then their response would be that much more swift! No more logistics of sending men from one end of the galaxy to the other, but self-contained protection!

>>18166646

I'm too much of an Old Commissar to be of use too far away from the front lines.
Commissar Ciphas Cain i have known to be quite skilled at navigating the STUPID FUCKING BULLSHIT that is politics.

>>18166690
*uses precognition*
Better do as he says, he totally will do it.

>>18166695
UNFORTUNATELY NOT, AS THE IRON MEN WERE BEFORE EVEN MY ANCIENT SERVICE TO HIS MOST GLORIOUS EMPIRE.

I DO BELIEVE THAT WE MUST CONSOLIDATE OUR FORCES AND ELIMINATE THE MOST PROMINENT THREAT; WE MUST DEFEND HOLY TERRA FROM THE ADVANCE OF THE TYRANID FLEET

>>18166690
I do not wish to insult you, Venerable one, but this meeting is of both political and military nature, and could prove to influence the entire future of the imperium of man.

>>18166690

Oh God-Emperor he's here. I need a drink.

>>18166695
While my colleges aren't entirely sure of the cause, they believe it has something to do with the explosion itself. We may be able to make some cut-down versions, or even crude explosives out of the warheads.
>>18166692
Deploying them without Iron Men against Tyranids would fail, for as soon as the commanding Enginseer dies, the cybernetica deactivate as a safeguard.
>>18166576
The re-activation would be a last resort. We have a chance at beating them if they do rebel, and if they don't, we can deactivate them once the crisis is over. It pains me to even bring up the option, but it may be what is necessary to survive.

>>18166722

That line was one of many told to recruit Commissars still in the Schola. Another that was told to me . . . and i believe applies in this situation:

"Excuses are the refuge of the weak"

>>18166692
Unfortunately most of our shipyards are currently, "on extended leave to Chaos", so to speak. We would have to recapture them fiesta, then repair them before we could begin producing the requisite numbers.

As for drones, if this is feasible I would move to immediately begin production of such patterns that we have.

In addition, I must ask that the Blood Angels delegation step foward and explain in further detail about a dual encounter with Necron forces and a Tyranid splinterfleet, and how it could "reshape the geopolitics of the galaxy".

>>18166793

And as a saying of Old Terra goes, "A Witty Saying Proves Nothing."

Your move, old man.

>>18166710
SHIT-DICKS!
BLOODY MAGPIES AND SHODDY ARTIFICE!

WHO THE FUCK CARES WHAT COLORS I DISPLAY, I REMEMBER A TIME WHEN DARK ANGELS WERE BLACK AND I HAD A FUNCTIONING PENIS.

THIS "KEEPING THE LEFT HAND IGNORANT OF THE RIGHT HAND" BULLSHIT HAS DRUG US DOWN FARTHER THAN WHEN HIS MOST GLORIOUS EMPIRE WAS STILL RECLAIMING LOST WORLDS.
TYRANIDS.
OPTIONS.
NOW.

>>18166692
...you do know they have uses for metallic elements, right? Especially those already rendering into alloy by other species.

They might not be biological, but there is plenty on a ship that the Tyranid Swarm can put to use.

>>18166804
>"on extended leave to chaos"
...wat
Admirals of the imperial navy, generals of the imperial guard, magos of the adeptus mechanicus, I strongly suggest you assign someone to fix this mess right the fuck now.

>>18166811
Can we stop this incessant arguing about nothing and return to the matters at hand, namely the Tyranid hive fleet, and lest we forget one of the first topics of the meeting, the failing of the golden throne?

>>18166841

The Dogs of Chaos will soon fall upon each other, and war for control over the shipyards. They will kill themselves, you can be sure of that.

>>18166702
Very funny. I have elected to keep some emotions, such as humor, in order to keep myself from going insane, as many of my fellows do when they can only see the logical end of this conflict without the Omnissiah's granting of fortune. I don't feel fear, but if I did, I would fear that I have not spoken in jest. I am completely serious about this.

>>18166841
I shall use this to take my leave, I now declare my Classy Marines to be on a crusade to reclaim the lost shipyards.

I doff my hat to thee, gentlemen. Stay Classy!!!

*tosses a plasma pistol to Fuklaw*
I've never had much use for the damned thing, I prefer my Power Cane. May it bring the enemies of the Imperium low.

>>18166825
I believe I mentioned more Nova Cannon for the Navy. Anything that allows our forces to engage them outside their lethally short range of swift engagement. Integrating air zone and orbital defences with Naval assets and ground-based rapid reaction forces to plug any holes Tyranid planetfall makes while bombarding any and all planethead they make with a localised, and much much swifter, version of Exterminatus.

We should do something about their habit of partially terraforming worlds they're about to eat too.

>>18166804
>>18166841
Pardon my single mindedness, but if I may make myself blunt.
We need proper means of communications.
We need proper means of transport.
We. Need. More. Ships.
Without the strength of His Navy, the Imperium shall remain divided, and it is only through Unity that the Imperium will survive.

I assure you that I have the Imperium's best interest at heart, and that this is by no means a ploy to bolster my own power. If it is necessary to make myself subservient to this council in order to prove this point, then so be it.

>>18166825
options?
-get our shipyards back and make enough ships to keep the nids away from our planets
-make a brand new anti-tyranid ship pattern from scratch
-study tau warp drives, sensors and navigation to see if it's immune to the shadpow of the warp, then use that information somehow
-approve my psyker breeding plan to improve logistics and let me try to use psykers to distrupt synapse creatures
-the webway is immune to the shadow of the warp, so try to make the eldar cooperate and move our stuff from point a to point b in areas caught by the shadow
-improve troop training across the imperium
-try to divert orcs, tau or whoever at them and then slam into the nid fleet from behind while they are fighting the orcs
-have they grey knights go to the labyrinth on mars and see what they can dig up

>>18166811
I am a Commissar. I have a Bolt Pistol. Your argument is invalid.

>>18166851
Well. There has been discussion that elder technology may hold the key.

>>18166825
My plan is simple.
We take the Imperial Gaurd
AND WE MAKE THEM ALL FUCKING ANGRY
Anger and Zeal strong enough to blot out any scrap of fear or doubt that yet weights down on the souls of our men and women
Righteous fury burning strong enough to burn out and eradicate any scrap of Tyranid bioforms in existance.
Through faith, we can turn the near limitless numbers of the Imperial Gaurd into a force capable OF SCARING THE EVERLIVING FUCK OUT OF ANY GODDAMN THING STUPID ENOUGH TO EVEN THING ABOUT FUCKING WITH US. BE IT FAGGOTS, DOUBLE FAGGOTS, SPACE ELV- of scaring the Enemies of the Imperium

strictly OOC: I am digging up most of my suggestions from the SB version of this thread(lords of the fall) and throwing out all the stuff that worked or was a generally good idea.

>>18166963

I am a Space marine with a Bolter, with pistol-grip. And you dare to suggest that we sully the Emperor's Golden Throne with Xenos Technology?!

>>18166963

Correction: I am a Commissar, and i have a Plasma Pistol.

>>18166993

And you make the assumption that you have any authority over the Astartes.

>>18166990
Would you rather have it fail? Because at the rate we're going, that's exactly what's going to happen unless we take drastic action.

>>18166928
Said the Serpent to the Spider And the Spider Dist Reply.

>>18167030

Would we sacrifice our ethics and perform alien experimentation on the holiest of hollies?

Would we trample upon the Emperor's own decrees?

>>18166937
No. This is a picture of what happened the last time an expedition was sent into the labyrinth. Only a single magos out of 270 Magos, an immense number of servitors & over 9000 Skitarii, survived. Even the Grey Knights shouldn't trouble what sleeps there. Right now, we have more pressing matters, like the air conditioner in the corner's Machine Spirit being slightly unhappy, and the lack of ships and my proposal to reactivate the Iron Men if the situation turns into an unescapable nightmare, to act on and discuss, than to risk awakening something that obviously should never be disturbed , ever, on the most important world in the Imperium after Holy Terra itself.

>>18166990
We should not implement xenos technology directly, but I have to agree with the Commisar that studying the Eldar technology could prove useful. Give any salvaged tech to the AdMech for intensive studying, and once something that is deemed safe has been developed it can be implemented.

>>18166937
My personal preference in order would be this:
-get our shipyards back and make enough ships to keep the nids away from our planets
-study tau warp drives, sensors and navigation to see if it's immune to the shadpow of the warp, then use that information somehow
-improve troop training across the imperium
-->Search for and adapt Eldar technology (can be done more passively than most others, simply scavenge battlegrounds and return the findings, for now no additional action is needed)
-try to divert orcs, tau or whoever at them and then slam into the nid fleet from behind while they are fighting the orcs
-approve my psyker breeding plan to improve logistics and let me try to use psykers to distrupt synapse creatures

>>18166993
>>18167014
FOR THE LOVE OF....
THIS IS THE BULLSHIT I'M TALKING ABOUT!
FUCK IT, WE SHOULD JUST LOAD UP VORTEX WARHEADS AND LAUNCH IT INTO THE FLEET ITSELF.
SACRIFICES WILL NEED TO BE MADE, BUT THERE IS NO COST TOO GREAT FOR THE SAFETY OF THE IMPERIUM

>>18167056
OOC That's an awesome pic, and i have a similar one

>>18167030
Right, drastic action is require, but we want the Coreect Drastic Action. Otherwise, we're no better than a spastic dog writhing in its seat whilst the master is occupied in another room.

...I- I don't really know where that analogy came from.

>>18166990

IF MY GODDAMN CHAINSWORD BREAKS AND I STILL HAVE SOME FUCKING ASSES TO KICK. I WILL PICK UP THE NEAREST GODDAMN THING AND CONTINUE BEATING THE EVERLOVING SHIT OUT OF MY ENEMY.

I DONT CARE IF ITS XENOS TECH, A GAURDSMEN, OR A FUCKING GENESTEALER. IF IT DOES THE JOB, GOOD ENOUGH FOR A FUCKING ANGRY MARINE. AND ANY FUCKING THING GOOD ENOUGH FOR AN ANGRY MARINE IS FUCKING GOOD ENOUGH FOR ANY ASSHOLE WHO HAS ENOUGH FUCKING BALLS TO CONTINUE TO FUCKING FIGHT INSTEAD OF BITCHING LIKE A FUCKING COGBOY WHO GOT HIS FAVORITE SKULL TOY STOLEN BY SOME PUSSY ASS KHORN ASSCLOWN.

MORAL OF THE GODDAMN STORY: SHIT BREAKS WE NEED TO FIX IT OR FIND A GODDAMN COGBOY TO FIX IT. WE CANT DO THAT, THEN WE FIND FUCKING SOMETHING ELSE THAT WILL FUCKING WORK.

>>18166571
By the power invested in me by The God-Emperor, and acting in my rights as Warmaster General of the Imperial Guard as well as Lord Solar of the armies of Terra, I return you to active duty, and confer on you both the rank of Commissar and lieutenant-general... That should give old Gaunt something to rage over, hah.
>>18166889
Make it so. A new regiment of Armageddon Guardmens has just been commissioned. They will provide you with the conventional power to break Chaos' hold.
>>18166904
I would suggest also capturing Space Hulks and wiring them with Cyclonic Torpedoes. Explosive decoys were always quite effective back on Catachan.

Onto the original items of business, eyed did we leave off on the Throne and the eastern fringe?

>>18167095
>>18167056

OOC: holy shit. . . im not sure if i like to think of clarke as a tech-preist or a purifier. Both look really awesome

>>18167106

To think that a COMMISAR, the so-called fist of the Emperor's Will, would dare to trample upon the Emperor's words. You disgust me with your heresy.

>>18167078
Then, Honorable and Ancient Machine, and the Venerable Bjorn inside your form, do you believe that reactivating the Iron Men is a risk that we should take, if the situation becomes, as you Space wolves would say "Totally yiffed up?"

(I apologize gentlemen, but I must excuse myself. It is my fervent hope that this thread remains when I return. Praise the God-Emperor.)

>>18167128

BACK AND FUCKING BETTER THAN EVER! I WILL IMEDIATELY BEGING TO CREATE THE ANGRIEST FUCKING IMPERIAL GUARD UNIT THE GALAXY WILL HAVE EVER SEEN. FUCK GAUNT, FUCK STEALTH. ZEAL IS ITS OWN GODDAMN EXCUSE.

EVERY GODDAMN SECTOR WILL KNOW THE EMPERORS MIGHT.

>>18167199
How about the option of a delayed detonation? We wait until the warheads are at the spot to provide the most damage.

>>18166937
>>18167073
Is biological warfare so disregarded that we will not give it a chance? It is effective, powerful, and only the Tyranids can react fast enough to such a bombardment. To them, we must simply act fast enough.

And on a related note, how to orks, eldar, chaos forces, and tryanids respond to radiation bombs? It takes several meters of lead to deaden the effects entirely and its effects cannot be resisted otherwise. There is no adapting to radiation.

>>18166889
Someone better join this guy, I would rather not send only him and what troops he can gather

About eldar tech
The thing is, eldar technology is more warp magic then actual technology(unlike the dark eldar who torture all of their psykers to death and have no warp tech), so studying it is kinda messed up.
On the other hand, however, the emperor was using very similar technology on the golden throne before he was so rudely interrupted by all the heresy, so warp tech should give us exactly what we need.
There is also the search for warp-based STC that we can pursue.

>>18167078
While I appreciate the directness of your approach, we simply don't have enough warheads to do the job. Yes, we would take out a number of their larger ships while they're dormant in deep space, but as soon as the first one hits, the rest of them are going to snap to attention, thus robbing us of any chance to gain a tactical advantage upon the beasts.

((fucked up the link, sorry))
>>18167234
That is exactly the point I'm trying to make. If we are to attempt a first strike, we must make it COUNT, preferably destroying whatever mechanization controls and directs the hive mind.

>>18167186
While I feel no anger, my Apprentice, pictured here Blessed by the Omnissiah Beta, or as we call him "Bob", has expressed his wish to join in the crusade of the righteous. I can assure you, the anger he displays is quite increadible for a man of the Omnissiah. Will you accept him as your first recruit, Commissar?

>>18167056
Duly noted, where then is there a possible cache of untainted archeotech?

>>18167138

LET ME CALM THE FUCK DOWN A SEC
*Ahem*
So, The Imperial Commissar, newly re-instated and feverishly attempting to produce viable ideas and plans that will not only ensure the defeat of our enemies, but help secure a future for mankind. One still lit by the light of the Emperor. . . is a Heretic?

Or is the space marine. . . so intent on shooting down the ideas of a few attempting to save all that is left mankind, intent on ensuring the death of Emperor and all of mankind with his inaction. . . the one truly Guilty of Heresy?

>>18167186
I have concerns for the "reactivation" of the Commissar and his plans to reform the guard.

Can I get the opinion of an Inquisitor of the Ordo Hereticus: What is the possibility of this massive concentration of hatred and zeal becoming tainted with Khornate influence?

>>18167333
Small. They are so fervent in their zeal that they even shrug of the powers of Khorne, however similar they appear on the battlefield.

>>18167295
The only one that comes to mind is called Lupa 359, a system rumored to have been part of the Ancient's worlds, but cut off for the last ten millenium by a warp storm. The storm has been fading away in the past millenium, and I think it is the most likely source of a possibly intact STC. I would normally not reviel this information to a non-follower of the Machine God, but this situation needs to be solved, and this is the best hope of fixing the Golden Throne, and as an unintended but helpful side-effect, preventing the Ominissiah from dying.

>>18167056
I am well aware of the dangers of the labyrinth, but I am also well aware of the potential for knowledge within it.
that is why I suggested that we strip mine the place and shoot everything in it on the open ground. The grey knights and sisters of battle would take part in this operation to kill all the chaos-tainted shit we find in there.
There is another benefit here.
If chaos tries to assault this solar system, do you want them to have potential allies in the heart of mars? We can strop mine and fight it now when we have the cnance instead of letting it lie dormant.

>welp, just notice it's 3:25 am here, I'm out for today/night. Thank you gentlemen, and please somebody archive this.

>>18167298

Do not mistake "fervour" for holiness, commisar. You tread a dangerous path towards the fall of men more mighty than yourself.

I say we do not entrust the Emperor to Xenos technology- funny how THAT makes me a heretic. Check your tongue.

>>18167284

OH DONT FUCKING WORRY, IVE SEEN YOU COYBOYS GET REAL PISSED THE FUCK OFF. DONT FUCKING BELEIVE ME? IMAGINE THE EPIC FUCKAWESOME THAT ARE A SHITTON OF MOTHERFUCKING TITANS! NOW IMAGINE THOSE EPIC MOTHERFUCKING TITANS COVERED IN CHAOS FAGGORTRY SIMBOLS AND SHIT. DOES THAT NOT PISS YOU THE FUCK OFF!? DOES THAT NOT MAKE YOU WANT TO SHOOT THE NEXT GODDAMN HERETIC IN THE FACE, REGARDLESS OF HOW BIG OR HOW MANY FUCKING THINGS IT HAS GROWING THE FUCK OUT IF IT!?

I believe the effect would be similar to the incorruptability of the Sisters of battle.

and will you stop with the heretic already?
nobody in this room is a heretic, or they would be killed on their way here.

>>18167333
To be entirely honest, I don't think we could possibly feed Khorne any more than we already are. I am recall correctly, faith in the Emperor and righteous anger on his behalf supposedly strengthens the astronomican.

>>18167387

IM CHARGED WITH THE DUTY TO KILL PRISSY FAGGOTS THAT DOOM MANKIND WITH THEIR FAGGOTRY, NOT LISTEN TO THEM.

YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPEN TO THE LAST GROUP OF FUCKING KHORNE THAT HAD THE FUCKING BALLS TO SAY THAT ME AND MY CHAPTER WHERE "BROTHERS"!?!? I RAPED 10 FUCKING BEZERKERS WITH MY OWN GODDAMN CHAINSWORD. I WOULD HAVE PURGED MORE BUT THOSE ANGRY FUCKERS I CHARGE INTO BATTLE WITH KILLED THE REST OF THE FUCKING FUCKERS BEFORE I COULD FUCK ANY MORE UP.

>OOC: dear god im getting a headache from typing this. its like i can hear Fuklaw screaming at the top of his goddamn lungs

If I had the ability to fear angry, I would at the very thought. It also makes me wish to destroy the enemies of man. Alas, I have other duties and obligations to the Omnissiah. Bob shall need to have twice the fury he normally has, to take my place as an instrument of the Omnissiahs fury. Alas, what I would give to be young again...

Nah we can continue next week. Getting late here.

>>18167678
/v/ gets 500 posts per thread, /vg/ gets 1000 posts per thread. I find it odd that /v/ has 500 posts, considering all they discuss now is random bullshit and the occasional video game.

Wait... you're saying that the Tyranid Hive Fleet is on its way to Terra, right?
We could stall for time if we could get the Bloody Magp- err, Blood Ravens to lure Necrons and Orcs on their path. While the Xenos are fighting against themselves, we could bolster our defenses and recruit more guardsmen... and we could pick off the weakened remnants of the victors.
I don't know if we should throw a Craftworld in their path for good measure. But hey, more of them dead, the better for us, right?

>>18167739
This is /tg/. We have had 4 threads in 3 days that were about Elesh Norn Fapfiction. Yes, you read that right. (I shamefully admit that I was a part of the threads). Anyways, we probably can if that can.

Whoops, did I fall asleep?

rolled 28 = 28

My lords, I am but a humble Guardsmen, but it seems as though we can set our problems against each other.

MY recommendation, is to capture or secure Orks, those which spread spores, and land them, incognito, onto the planets of our enemies, or on vectors to land in warp-tainted worlds.

They will fight while we can consolidate and search for whatever means to survive the coming days. And who knows, maybe the Orks will do enough damage that we can destroy all the enemies of our Holy Emperor.

>>18167812
I might try it a little later since the thread stumbled the first hour it was up. Maybe 5pm est Thursdays. And maybe I'll indulged myself a little and get a trip just to OP the thread... Nah, I disagree with trips too fundamentally

This thread is beautiful, and you all should feel awesome. Excellent job guys!

>>18164110
A wise suggestion. Seeing the efficiency of the Tech Marines, I must inquire as to the feasibility of extending this 'cross-training' approach. I submit that the Mechanicus hand-pick appropriately skilled memebers of each Ordo and each branch of his Most Holy military to undergo similar training and enlightenment. Instead of risking your own precious recruits, whose destinies lay in your upper echelons, instead train our brighter recruits to properly bring your wisdom and skills to bear on menial problems beneath your notice.

Indeed, I hereby suggest that the Ecclesiarchy provide a similar program. Allow their most valued priests and sermonizers to serve best, in schools, academies, and training camps for our laborers and guardsmen, to crystalize the faith of the young and stamp out the roots of heresy, while the most fervent and dedicated of laymen undergo specially tailored induction as lay-ministers to serve on the front lines and in the halls of power.

In the interest of fairness, I hereby open the books of the Segmentum Calixis branch of the Adeptus Munitorum. Every Earthshaker shell, missile, bolt round, autogun slug, and ohm of energy in every lasgun clip in the entire segmentum is accounted for as best we are able. I am offering my own pages and initiates to any ordo that requires direct access to our logistics information. I will not have Our Lord's realm collapse simply because of bureaucratic oversight, or because some paper-pusher forgot to process a request for extra promethium the Astartes needed for their tanks.

>>18168021

While seeing the contents of your books are faciniating, my esteemed Arch-Magos, the problem lies not with knowing what we have.

More so that the rate of which commodities being produce versus the rate at which they are being consumed is information of greater import.

If we can see which sectors have surpluses and shortfalls in what resources then we can plan accordingly.

However, in the current situation of all sectors reporting a massive over-consumption in addition to reduced output puts us at quite an impasse.

I suggest more colonisation attempts on worlds within our boundaries that were overlooked previously for being too hostile to life.

>>18168172
Already, too much is being consumed. No, what we need is not EXPANSION, but DIVERSIFICATION. Too many worlds allow their natural resources to remain untapped, agriworlds that can not produce their own tools or vehicles. Forge worlds that cannot feed themselves. What we need is further cross-training so that no one ordo, or world, is left without a working knowledge of every important subject. Every world should be able to care for its civilian needs, and its surpluses and specialties are then exported to the front lines, to support the moving, arching war-machine that shields us all.

I call upon the honored members of the Mechanicus, are there any technologies at the disposal of your Genetors that would safely increase the fecundity and fertility of humanity?
