Emperor's Furor Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 It's only a minor fluff point but I thought it was cool non the less. Phospex is a very powerful destruction gas like substance (I kind of compare it to mustard gas but it happens instantaneously) that present in 30k but not in 40k, with the closest thing being the Phosphor Skitarii recently got which is kind of a weaker version. In the latest Skitarii book, there is a time line and on it there's a small event that happens around 009.M40 called the Fires of Conscience, where a Tech Priest by the name of Veriliad, after having won a stomach churning victory during the Cremation of Alcadia Secdundus knowingly destroys the STC for phospex weaponry. It seems it lasted right up until 40k and then couldn't be replicated, I would of thought it would of been lost long before then, perhaps just after the heresy due to the aftermath of it and the fact marines were on the receiving end of it, then again that's probably wishful thinking.

CommodusXIII Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 There's at least one phosphex weapon still around - the Phosphoenix pistol from the Relics of Mars. I wouldn't be surprised if there were more stockpiles of phosphex weaponry laying around, even though they can't be replentished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battybattybats Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 If one person could destroy the STC that means there was only 1 copy or all the copies were in his reach. Which means they may have been banned for a time or been put under some stricture after the heresy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturm Moonwolf Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 And if it was banned and put into safe keeping, there is only 1 place (or 2) it is...who better to guard secret experiments than the executioners...on Mjalner and Gormenjarl. Because why not, lol. Where did helfrost come from? Who else owns and operates not 1, but 2 Ramilles Star Forts? Who loves the secrets of Ramilles...Mechanicum, Mars, and relatively close and highly impregnable Fenris system....love speculation haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battybattybats Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Wouldn't be the first time the wolves kept tech from the rightful owners and arbiters of all technology... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaulerUK Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I think it's a good move; Phosphex in 30k is pretty nasty stuff that remains on the battlefield after the shot's blast marker's been placed. I think that 40k may be better off without it, lest the Lords Of Cheese find it... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
