DarKnight Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 What do you guys think about the ramifications to our beloved 40K. Would it have jumped the shark for you? What would happen to the Astartes this was done to? I need answers folks.

Grotsmasha Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I can't think of a single reason or circumstance that this might occur. Having read as much fluff as I can, I'm fairly certain that the scenario is unprecedented. The question is, what do you want it to do? Is it an Alpha Legion conspiracy? An Inquisition experiment? One of Fabius Biles dastardly plans? Will it cause black rage in an Ultramarine? Enhanced senses in an Imperial Fist?

frostclaw222 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Progenoid glands are implanted when a marine is made, removed when they mature or the marine dies. I don't think they take on further glands, however. Now, if you're suggesting someone did some swapping back on Mars or some other geneseed repository....now that's interesting....

dustermaker Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Iron Warriors used Imperial Fist geneseed on some of their recruits right after the Iron Cage incident where they killed a ton of IF's.

TennisBall Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 The Soul Drinkers were hinted at not being Imperial Fists based on testing of their geneseed. It may be that a chaos infiltration of a chapter could begin by using tainted geneseed from elsewhere. Or a renegade group may try to preserve itself by doing the same instead of running. It would require a take over of the chapter apothecarium (or whatever it's called) as that is where new marines are made. The geneseed tithe to the administratum would come from true marines. By the time the chapter had run out of unaltered geneseed it would be too late for the Imperium to do anything other than try and destroy the chapter in question.
