This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Dominus NoxOk, there are several ways that psykers get it up the ass in the 40k universe.


-Untrainable, weak or uncontrollable psykers  are fed to the emperor at the rate of like "1000 a day" to feed him and keep him in his deathless state. They are fed into the machinery at the base of the golden throne where their life forces is agonizingly leeched away to sustain the emperor.

-Many psykers are 'soul bonded' to the emperor if they are judged fit, and these become the chorus that broadcasts the astronavicom. The emperor doesn't create the warp beacon, he coordinates the psyker chorus that generates it and serves as a focus for their efforts.

-Better grade psykers are often trained to be inquisitors, inquisitor assistants, assassins, primarius military field psykers, etc. if they are adjucated to be worthy.

Ok now my players will surely want to play psykers - because as pcs they assume they are going to get it up the ass :D

Don't forget!  Psykers are also subject to demonic possession and other such funderful things.

Personally, the mosquito that lays its eggs in psykers' brains is my fave.

Jeebus, this is one of the things that my players would find so cool...."think of the possibilities" they would say.

I think so, that's the original 40K wargame right? The big thick blue book, right? Most of the stuff I remember about 40K comes from White Dwarf which I subscibed to much longer than I should have, but I really dug the stuff about 40K -Space marine chapters, stories about Inquisitors etc...I've also read a couple of 40K novels.

The one actual GW product I would still lay down cash for is the collection of "Chapter Approved" fluff articles about the Adeptus Astartes chapters.

I feel good when I run into a GW fanboy, I don't feel so lonely.  :)

I've got all four of the collected volumes. Well worth it. The Horus Heresy artbooks are great inspiration for modeling, too.
