thade Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 GK are technically not necessarily space marines, they are GK IIRC You do not remember correctly. I recommend another read through of the GK codex. <3 Here you go: LINK. Grey Knights are a Space Marine chapter. The selection process is much more picky, but they get the same parts installed and they get gene seed (which some believe is the Emperor's own gene seed) and all of that only works on men. Astartes are men...just the way it works. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/238887-necron-hunters/page/2/#findComment-2888303 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DinoDoc Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 and I have a dog named Mala, and he is a boy, so what is to say a man can't be named YoshimiNothing. In my interpretation of the song though, is a female inquisitor on the outs with her peers "Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me" due to possible radicalism and leading a major effort against the Necrons. It just fits too well for me. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/238887-necron-hunters/page/2/#findComment-2888308 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archon_77 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 and isn't the Inq into using women? Who is to say that one of the GK isn't a woman.Space Marines can't be women. GK are technically not necessarily space marines, they are GK IIRC and I have a dog named Mala, and he is a boy, so what is to say a man can't be named Yoshimi Just a hint, do NOT mention female space marines on the B & C, that is a serious problem you do not want. I suggest search Fu on Doc Thunder to see what I mean. All that being said, they are your toy soldiers to do with what you will and I may or may not be fielding a female GK apothecary that may or may not have a perfectly fluffy reason for being that may or may not involve an alleged run in with Tzeench Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/238887-necron-hunters/page/2/#findComment-2888366 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerSmurf Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Pulling this this a bit back on topic... Necron hunters, why not? They are Grey Knights (for everyone's info, they are space marines that are all psykers and very, very blessed, and IIRC go through soulbinding with the big E), and as they are all psychically gifted, so perhaps their powers stop the phase-out? Or maybe they have a knack for whacking the phase out locating sensor-thingy? Go for it, I would say.

Or maybe they have a knack for whacking the phase out locating sensor-thingy? Go for it, I would say. The Big E mankes him sound like the Fonz...:) Psychic powers would be unlikely to interfere with necron tech. I expect the new codex to have some fierce psyker defence (even if pariahs are gone). Remember the old (and as far as we know the current) fluff is that necrons are not, and never have been psykers and were the creators of things like the cadian obelisks that becalm the warp and nullify psychic energy. Of course the Ordo Xenos is still going to call on them to fight the Necrons, so I imagine the Grey Knights being distinctly unfond of a race that is such an anathema to their unparalled psychic power.

Myxx Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Flaming Lips makes more sense... I thought you meant Yoshimi the Linux software synthesizer... I wouldn't call them GK, but a specific marine unit or chapter hunting Necrons sounds cool to me.

*Furyou Miko Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I suppose if anyone could wield Necron weaponry, it would be Grey Knights. Remember the Staff of Light? That's a power weapon because it reduces everything it touches to 0 Kelvin. And that's just how it powers its beam attack. I don't think Grey Knights can have been Soul Bound. The Soul Binding ritual is supposed to leave the psyker blind.

Iron Lord Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I don't think Grey Knights can have been Soul Bound. The Soul Binding ritual is supposed to leave the psyker blind. For normal psykers- yes- but it points out that the psyker would not seem to be blind were it not for their "scarred eye sockets". There's also a degree of variation- some astropaths have white eyes, some empty sockets.

Reclusiarch Darius Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Could work. Two ways I'd go with it; - Another Thousand Sons successor: Like the Blood Ravens, you're a good descendant of the excommunicated Sons of Magnus. You like stealing and re-purposing other people's stuff (just like Blood Ravens), and Necrons are your favourite because they have such insanely advanced tech (Imperium tech is boring by comparison). Everyone assumes you're trying to destroy the Necrons, when in reality you're just lifting gauss guns and tesseract labyrinths for other battles. You are the guys that sold the Knights their poke-balls, because you got bored with just banishing your enemies, you preferred the more destructive technologies. - Death-Watch: Several Ordo Xenos Watch-Fortresses are stationed around the galaxy at various Tomb Worlds, just waiting for the Necrons to try and wake up. In that event, they send in Kill-Teams to disable the re-assembly forges and any command nodes that awaken. Perhaps, given the noted weaknesses to psychic powers that Necrons have (no real defenses except Pariahs, who are very rare, and no psykers of their own), the Death-Watch gathers Kill-Teams comprised of Codicier-level Librarians for these strikes. Lead by more senior Epistolaries, who further buff their basic powers.

There's also a degree of variation- some astropaths have white eyes, some empty sockets. And really, they're not actually blind. They can see even better with their enhanced psychic powers by all accounts. Their eyes could be replaced, if they cared. That said, I'm pretty sure GK do not undergo this ritual.

Not completely true, there is nothing anywhere (from what i've read) that dictates you can't have female space marines. Heck I even have a female Crimson Fists Captain! Back to the point, I reckon Necron hunting Grey Knights? Why not! They are quite an upcoming menace to the Imperium! Could be a separate brotherhood inside the Grey Knights i can understand that.

Heck I even have a female Crimson Fists Captain! Okay. Before this thread devolves into a popular topic to debate, I'd like to suggest that you head over to the Amicus forum and run a search for female space marine. Here's the summary: canon is that the process of space marine conversion works exclusively on male humans, so you can have a woman in power armor who's highly trained, but she won't be a genetically modified super solider. However, if you choose to bend the "canon" to your will (as A D-B has said, "There is no canon.") you're perfectly within your rights to do so...they're your toy soldiers, after all.

Then let us close discussion and say "Recruits ... must be male because the zygotes are keyed to male hormones and tissue types" http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Creation_o...ne#.TqGOi5uAo8k And I think it'd make absolutely 0 sense if the Grey Knights suddenly dedicated themselves to hunt Xenos. They're from the Malleus, which is deamon fighting. Ofcourse Xenos will get in the way at times, but as for general Xenos hunting, you should call the Death Watch :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/238887-necron-hunters/page/2/#findComment-2905747 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thade Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 If Grey Knights are killing Xenos, it's because the Xenos are standing between the GK and some demonic event that the GK need to deal with. The Inquisition has an entire other branch that deals with Xenos, and really they could just alert a local Imperial Guard regiment...or Space Marine chapter if it's really severe.

Something Wycked Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I mean, it would be really cool for GK's to be that go-to force for the -][-... but there would have to be more of them. A lot more. They can't be everywhere taking care of every Inquisitor's Big Problem. Even if you break it down to actions of the size you find in the Grey Knights Omnibus, and assume they are at full "on paper" strength (which they certainly aren't), they can be in at most 200 places if all they send is 5-ish man teams like in the novels. 200 is a lot of places, but the Imperium is an inconceivably huge place and the Daemonic threat is even bigger than that... :devil: In any case, the point I'm making is the support isn't in the fluff but the idea of GK's being Xenos hunters for the -][- is really cool.
