				Yeah how about some faith in your men! Damnable hopscotchers... you're not even really part of the command structure and you STILL get better stuff than we do... You could easily give every trooper in the Imperium a hellgun and a set of stormtrooper gear and train them and they'd do WAY better. I mean jeez. Then you give storm troopers something closer to power armor. Maybe not actual power armor but some ceramite plating. wow.. Did I just go on a tirade of what is wrong with the Imperium's military?

				The Ecclesiarchy OWES the Imperium big time. They need this, they need that. They don't have sisters of battle all the time. They have to rely on the munitorum A LOT! and the munitorum is so big it needs to be downsized enough that you don't need all those stupid things done by 500 people at the same time when it can be easily done by 250.

				Considering how the little people in the Imperium suffer under oppression and neglect, it would be reason enough to throw away their faith in the Emperor and succumb to the temptations of the Chaos gods, be it in insanity or otherwise.

				Chaos is the stranger with the candy and the creepy van of toys. Just resist and you'll live happily the rest of your miserably short life. Do it and its going to end a lot quicker.<br><br>And the State is NOT the Church. There is a point in Imperium history that the Church DID control the government and that was very bad indeed. I'll have to dig through my novels but that's when the munitorum split from the Ecclesiarchy. This was because they wanted to have powers separate and the church not to have the ability to control the Imperial Guard and the Marines etc. The Church has a strong influence on the Imperium as a whole and does govern some planets but it is not the ruling body. That is the munitorum.

				Also being one of the, as far as I can tell, more chaos friendly members of our game I'd like to throw my hat into the little debate about the allure of chaos. In all honesty my fav side has always been Chaos on the table top I have a Chaos army and I'm in the process of corrupting my IG army(actually creating a little story around it ;D), and I fully realize that if I were in the 40K vers I'd be on the side of Chaos in some form or another(I also realize I'd probably wind up being a cultist w/my luck). I think that Chaos draws mortal humans in because is because in some ways it's more human than the Imperial Cult. The Chaos Gods didn't come from nowhere, they were birthed(with the exception of Slaanesh) from human emotions and desires. And they all are reflections of the things that lay within every man and woman. Also the Imperial Cult and Chaos are opposites philosophy wise. Besides the obvious order vs disorder. There is also the fact that the Imperial Cult dictates you should sacrifice for others. Where as Chaos in its most basic form dictates that others should sacrifice for you. To me its the whole 'would you rather be the dim bulb that lasts longer or the bright one that dies faster' question and its no surprise that many find the prospect of power, immortality, or at the very least a 'fuller' life more attractive.<br><br><br>As far as the Chaos Marines go its IMHO the story of spurned sons rebelling against their father. If you look at the Primarchs who joined Horus's side they and their legions were the ones who were thought of as scary, brutal, decadent, ect. They were the ones who were sanctioned by the Emperor for being/doing what he had created them to be/do.&nbsp; From their perspective they were being scorned by their father and his followers for doing what their father requested of them. While other legions were being idolized. So while Horus did provide the spark that started the fire of rebellion, the wood used to create that fire was chopped and stacked by The Emperor, the loyalist legions, and the Imperial citizens. Also I admit there are a few exceptions to this generalization ;)

				Zorro, let's not forget that the whole idea for creating the Space Marines was Tzeentch's idea in the first place, implanted into the mind of the Emperor by the Great Deceiver, the Architect of Fate, and the whole process was doomed from the start... and its just a little hiccup in Tzeentch's plan that only half of the Marines turned to Chaos and not the entire group ;)

				Yes, but don't forget either, SomethingWycked, that Tzeentch not only *counts* on plans going awry, but in fact designs counter-plans for his own plans, and counter-plans for those, and plans that either aid or stand against those, and so on and so forth. Tzeentch does not plan to win, nor plan to lose, but simply plans to plan, sees how things turn out, and continues. His existence is centred upon the lack of solution, finality, or victory, as such a feat would be the end of the change that he embodies.<br><br>Haha, I love Tzeentch so much =3

				The Stormtroopers have dropped into the center of the artillery guns to take control of the guns' control building. <br><br>Also Ironwolf85 you're very correct as far as the average person...but isn't that where the average human stands in every corner of 40k? "when all else fails throw more men at it" is defiantly the IG thought process. And the Orks use humans as slaves, Dark Eldar use them as toys, Eldar view them as a cross between bugs and pawns on a chess board, Necrons just want them dead, Tyranids view them as bio-resources, and I have a strong suspicion that humans would wind up sacrificing a lot more for the greater good than Tau or Kroot would wind up having to.&nbsp; At least for me part of what makes 40k so interesting is that the humans are pretty much screwed lol

				Yeah shuriken catapults do, but Ranger Long Rifles are designed to not have them, just like most guns make a loud bang and a flash but silenced ones don't, they propel their ammo by the use&nbsp; of gravitic accelerators, they do make a VERY slight noise but their is no flash because their is no mini-explosion used to propel the round forward, its all done by forces invisible to the human spectrum. ;D That having been said don't worry I'm not gonna stack the deck against you guys....at least not enough to where you can't win this early on.

				Hey IronWolf. A longlas is a singleshot weapon. It uses a hotshot energy pack that is good enough for one shot. Then you just replace the clip all over again. If you need help with Guard knowledge. I've got a lot of it. I'm a HUGE IG player in tabletop and I've done a lot of weapons research for 40k.

				Well that's actually a bit of a problem. Ripper weapon information is hard to find. And Ripper pistols is even harder. What I can tell you is that ripper guns are usuallly reserved for Ogryns. Some say that they are shotguns others says automatic stubbers. It's really hard to tell but ALL ripper weapons are bulky and difficult to use. They are great for bashing though.

				hmmmm... from everything I've seen and heard here, the Ripper is an automatic pistol with shrapnial rounds and a mighty kick to it. for this reason it's better swung or fired from close quarters. occasionally the rounds can be poisoned. it's also heavy enough to be a good club in close.<br>a psyker with a ripper pistol... a psyker would be fun<br>if Alexi dies, I'm playing one

				yep, I have the psyker's background all hashed out in detail.<br>basically unlike his normal imperial counterparts, he comes from a relatively democratic and free world (when compared to the rest of the imperum) names Solarus. The problem is in extange for maintaining their way of life, and local government, they give a massive tribute, and have an inquisitorial cannon floating in orbit "just in case"<br>also all "gifted" are supposed to be turned in to the inquisition of course.<br>The good side to this hands off governance is the imperum can present itself as a kind of fatherly empire to the locals, and loyalty and order on Solarus is easily maintained as a result. this is a world where people actually volunteer for service in the imperial meat grinder.<br>Think a WW2 America kind of atmosphere.<br>A psyker that is actually did his patriotic duty turned himself in at the inquisitorial office, and got sanctioned, and "welcome to the front lines bolt magnet"

The two continents each serve as the base of two massive Hives; the western and older Hive Torach, and the newer Hive Merik in the east. With a respectable PDF, and the Cadian Gate serving to hold in attacks from the Eye of Terror, there was little fear of any attack upon the planet.<br><br>However, the Daemon Prince Morkion, once a powerful Dark Apostle of the Word Bearers, slowly gathered armies of those that serve the Chaos Gods, slipping them through in minute dribbles to avoid detection by Imperial forces. Upon gathering the full force of countless warbands, the Daemon unleashed the tides of war upon Sarkior VII. Hive Torach, being more settled in, possessed considerable defenses against an assault from space, but Merik did not possess the same countermeasures, and as the armies of the Dark Powers descended upon the planet, the eastern Hive was quickly overrun.<br><br>Taking a stand on Samuval Coast, the planet's PDF finally managed to stem the attack. Immediately, seeing the danger of the Black Crusade of the Daemon Prince, as well as the value of the industrial world, a Conclave of the Ordos Malleus and Hereticus was formed. Using the power of the Malleus Remit, the Inquisitor Lord Arkus called for whatever forces that could be afforded to drive back the Daemon Prince and his fell armies. The armed might of the Adeptes Astartes, the limitless numbers of the Imperial Guard, and the fervent might of the Adepta Sororitas, all descended upon Sarkior VII to bring the wrath of the Imperium upon the infidels...</em></div><br><br>So, this roleplay is going to be a fair bit more free-form than this one. The general situations will be established by me, but the precise positions will not matter in the battles (the scale will simply be too large), and thus specific missions, success in combat, etc, will be left in the hands of the individual players, so long as they do not overdo it (single-handedly ending the invasion, killing the entire Conclave of Inquisitors, etc), and working with other players involved (no godmoding and insta-gibbing other players, etc). <br><br>As well, players will be allowed to take commanding roles, designing their own custom force with its unique colours, battle tactics, a few minor PCs, etc. These forces will be small-scale (a company of Space Marines, a company of the Imperial Guard, a Chaos Warband, or a Commandery of the Sisters of Battle). There will be a core force for each group if you wish to keep things simple, and you also have the option of playing an independent character of some kind (Commissar, Inquisitor, Chaos Sorcerer, etc).<br><br>Anyways, PM me if this sounds fun. If I get enough people, we can post an ad and look for some more people.

Just resist and you'll live happily the rest of your miserably short life. Do it and its going to end a lot quicker.<br><br>And the State is NOT the Church. There is a point in Imperium history that the Church DID control the government and that was very bad indeed. I'll have to dig through my novels but that's when the munitorum split from the Ecclesiarchy. This was because they wanted to have powers separate and the church not to have the ability to control the Imperial Guard and the Marines etc. The Church has a strong influence on the Imperium as a whole and does govern some planets but it is not the ruling body. That is the munitorum.<br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>Actually the "ruling body" would be the Adeptus Terra, of which the Administratum is one department. The Munitorum is a department or subsection to the Administratum. Even then you could argue the <em>true</em> ruling body is the Senatorum Imperialis, but that's getting into things.
