General Discussion

Azrael, I'm taking your advice and making their psychi powers passive like you said, whats its called, latent? I dont remember. yeah like a spider sense

I remember there was a Gaunt's Ghosts character like that, he was beta-level if I recall.

It didn't work out so well for the character in question after their psychic nature was finally reported.

I don't remember if they were ever properly classified off hand, but beta-level is not exactly what the Imperium would consider a 'latent' psyker. That's a surefire one-way, all expenses ticket to Terra courtesy of the AAT if discovered. Or destruction, of course - because that powerful of psyker is too dangerous to be allowed to wander about freely.

right

Gunt put him down eventually, or the other commissar. I never liked tht guy. He wasnt the worst one, he just seemed like an ass

And he upstaged gaunt when he destroyed that leman russ with a single shot from his plasma pistol

You can kneel and accept the Dogmatic Coding of Holy Mars, or you can take your excuses to the Deus in person!

(I'm hyped )

Bold of you to assume we have deviated from the Great Design. Only the Omnissiah can judge our choices and decide the fate of our souls.

(I'm also very very hype!)

I have noticed that Dan Abnett (and a few other writers) tend to "top load" the psychic scale rather a lot. I mean, the Assignment lists baseline, non-psychic humans as Rho or Pi, which gives fourteen possible psychic grades between there and Alpha, and yet Alphas and Betas (and occasionally Gammas and Deltas) are pretty much all we ever hear about. I've generally considered Ella to be an Iota level, maybe creeping into Theta since she has gained some atypical powers for an astropath, such as channelling a force weapon.

And now for the main announcement: recruitment threads are up!

[Azazeal849]

Some good offerings so far - who's going to be first to submit a warship...?

[Cfavano]

[Cfavano]

...well I just killed a relic decimator with a power hammer.

At PaintSerf's suggestion, I have added a primer on the planets of the Adrantis Nebula to the Intro thread.

Leave it to that jerk to make more work...

Anyhow, this jerk's intending to get some work done on characters and units over the next few days.

[Azazeal849]

I may as well get used to more work, given that I’m about to have three threads to run!
