Dark Apostle Thirst Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I have some old Lego Bionicle stuff that looked really like possible Jetbikes to me... Being a fan of power armour the Liber, I was wondering if there were any DIYers with a Mechanicus friendly chapter who wouldn't mind a small force made by another fellow hobbyist?

Dark Apostle Thirst Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 Well, you know, they might find some on some lost backwater planet and decide that astartes are the best of the best, and since their friendly with Omnissiah... badabing.

Grey Hunter Ydalir Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Problem is that now, as per the Dark Angels codex which I think (I don't own a copy), catagorically states that the single jetbike owned by the Dark Angels (first founding chapter, with all of the status that they have accrued over the last few millennia), is one of the last in existence (not locked away by the AdMech at any rate). How would your chapter, friendly with the AdMech or not, be able to keep it's hands on any that were randomly discovered. I think also that the AdMech would have already scoured the galaxy for the last known positions of all the Jetbikes lost during the Heresy. If the Iron Hands, who are virtually part of the Mechanicus as is and who are pretty much contracted to search for lost tech by the Mechanicus don't have any, what hope is there for any later founding chapter?

Perhaps it was discovered by a certain sect within the Admech that had previous experience with the chapter, and having fought beside them and earned their respect, which is why they are allowing them to use them in the fist place, a la 2).

BassWave Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 It wouldnt be that hard for the Admech to find some eldar bikes and reverse engineer them. Im sure they would keep it to themselves or any other worshippers of the omnissiah they deem worthy. Your idea is completely plausible. I'd go for it :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/209397-praise-the-omnissiah/#findComment-2501709 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go for it ;) Some AdMech veiw xeno tech with much distrust and would nothing to do with it. As for Jetbike for marines, the Dark Angels only have a few remaining and guard is secrets well. They also have few ancient suits of TDA and early power armor suits like the MKII through MkVIII armour. Not say other chapters dont have such tech. Most of the Jetbikes where lost during the Horus Heresy and have never been rediscovered.

Grey Hunter Ydalir Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 It wouldnt be that hard for the Admech to find some eldar bikes and reverse engineer them. I'm sorry but what? In an age where technology is viewed with suspicion if not linked to one of the ancient STC templates and ritualized to an insane degree I don't see how they would use xenos technology. We know that technological development in the Imperium is almost completely stagnant. The most radical designs approved in recent years were Space Marine tank variants that were usually developed independently of the Adeptus Mechanicus and usually sparked a lot of controversy for it. If the AdMech went around reverse engineering alien technology as easily or often as your statement seems to imply, the Imperium would be dominant and no one would be able to touch them. They worship the Omnissiah and all technological marvels that originate from it. Alien technology is not from the Omniassiah and it is heresy to use it.

Alien technology is not from the Omniassiah and it is heresy to use it. I would say - though i don't recall ever reading of one - that there is almost certainly a sect within the AdMech who would gladly reverse engineer Xenos Tech; remember every organisation has a sect for almost everything - just look at the ==][==. That said, such a sect would by its very nature be small and obscure so as to escape notice and censure/destruction.

Grey Hunter Ydalir Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 There is such a sect, though I forget the name of it at the time of writing. I was originally using them myself as part of the original draft of the Corsairs and it was Commissar Molotov who put me on to them. There is very little information on them, which is the main reason no one uses them. The problem with using them is that they are incredibly few and far between among the ranks of the AdMech. The reasons being that they are actively hunted and dealt by the AdMech majority and operate in secrecy. At least, that's what I remember of them.

Captain Juan Juarez Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Also, GHY a point you missed RE: Eldar Jetbikes; are they not wraithbone constructs as well? Like alot of Eldar construction, meaning it would be impossible to duplicate them without taking out a Wanted Ad for a Bonesinger.

Ace Debonair Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 So in short, these bikes'd be great for any pre-heresy or missing legions anyone wants to put together. :) I've already got enough on my plate though, so I'll be declining from inventing a legion today. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/209397-praise-the-omnissiah/#findComment-2502291 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Apostle Thirst Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 Or perhaps some renegades :) Any chapter or renegades that are/were friendly with the Mechanicus?

Knurd Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Who said a chapter would give it to the AdMech if they found? The Blood Angels kept the Baal Predator STC for themselves.
