Token Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Could the machine spirit in a landraider be an old driver from that raider who died and was intergrated into the landraider, kinda like a dreadnought?

Sarapham Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Though I´m not 100% on it I think it has been stated that the Machine Spirit is just an advanced AI, which they lost all knowledge about (like many other things). And of course if one cannot understand a thing, it must be a spirit/god/daemon/witch Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223314-machine-spirit-fluff/#findComment-2670301 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wulfenstein Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I think you confused a little fluff. There is something similar to what you said, but it's in the titan legions. Sometimes, by chance, the Princeps get integrated into the titan and become a ghost within.

Niiai Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 It is a bit uncertain if it is an old AI, am old AI with a personalaty, or if the spirit of the machine has manifested itself, or if it is a sliver of the void dragon.

Olgerth Istaarn Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 No. A "real" machine spirit (that is, not the imaginary one in your bolter that gets pissed if you don't clean it) is an artificial, organic AI. You get around the techno-heresy by the way of it being organic. But it's 100% artificial, it isn't someone's mind-wiped brain. Being organic and very old, machine spirits acquire personality, quirks, issues, and can even be possessed by daemons.
