Montuhotep Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Okay, simple one. We all know that Iron Warriors love their mech and have the Warsmith, but surely the other Legions do as well, perhaps as high as a Master of the Forge equivalent, perhaps just a few regular Techmarines to keep things running, or does Chaos either rely on daemonic possession or the Dark Mechanicus for this stuff?

Khestra the Unbeheld Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Similar to Apothecaries, it's implied that they're there in some numbers, but the rules of the game don't support their presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ambroz Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 It's been implied before that alot of chaos techmarines become oblits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellios Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 In Soul Hunter the 10th Co of the NL still have their Techmarine. Â Do you mean the guy who wakes up the dread? Isn't he a tech priest or is another one a techmarine... or maybe I'm wrong and he is a tech marine... my memory isn't what it used to be... Â Â Anyway... you do have techpriests around or people who might fufill the same kind of roles... Such as Warsmiths for the Iron Warriors... who I always imagine might be able to do something other than crush skulls with their servo-arm... I'm sure you also have marines who were tech-priests who are still around and maybe new guys who can do the same stuff but never had the relationship with the cult of mars and so are not actually tech-priests. Â Some tech priests might have joined the Dark Mechanicum as well and a few have become Oblits by the sounds of things... but I would certainly say you have people within the legions that know how to keep things running although some warbands may not.

nightlordsrock3564 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Nope. That guy IS a techpriest, because he refers to talos as astartes "10-1-2" or something like that rather than "brother" or "prophet" which would lead me to believe that he was in fact a techpriest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debauchery101 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 besides the complex cybernetics of dreads id assume that after centuries of living a tank operator and his gunners learn to fix their own stuff. also i know there are still tech priests as said before and servitors of course that can be programmed to do lots of things. id like to believe that the chaos marines realized that all of the stupid machine god prayers meant jack squat when turning wrenchs and changing the oil on the engine and found out that it wasnt some mystical force that made mechanical things work. besides the deamon engine stuff of course.

Dark Apostle Thirst Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Yep, Chaos still has Techmarines, and although many try and become Obliterators, Obliterators are fairly rare (fluffwise). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
