Any planet with an Adeptus Terra presence will have astropaths. Despite despising them, the Imperium can't function without psykers.

As a generalization, the Imperium and its citizens hate psykers.

They need to steal from Starcraft some more and just have an alpha+ psyker become the Queen of Blades.

I didn't particularly enjoy it for a few reasons. There was a bunch of psyker wizard magicks which is jarring compared to something like Ravenor's psyker stuff. There were explicit quotes from stuff like Laozi and Plato and stuff which definitely shouldn't exist in the 30th millenium. And also it was really awkwardly written as you mentioned.

The Tau resist Chaos mutation because they are the Emperor's favoured race and the true inheritors of the galaxy.

Games Workshop hates money? I'll provide a rebuttal right after I finish painting my $40 plastic toy that I had to assemble myself.

jadebullet posted:Well, I have decided to do something that is incredibly lame, and probably very stupid, but I am going to do it anyway. I have decided to try my hand at writing Space Barbie fanfiction. I am mainly doing it to get myself back into the swing of writing normal fiction since I am a bit rusty, and I figure it will be fun. Read Henry Zou's stuff and then don't do that. Make sure all your badass heroes are badass. Have them all die at the end to make it suitably grimdark and to avoid Mary Sue nonsense.

I've been waiting for the omnibus of Night Lords for what feels like forever now. Come on, Black Library!

The SoB books are fine. Swallow does an acceptable job of writing the Sisters but it isn't spectacular like ADB's Black Templars or whatever.

They reimplant old geneseed or steal new geneseed. Also, Space Marines have fallen to Chaos after the Heresy.

The Emperor was some all-powerful superman who watched humans grow as an infant species and got fed up with our poo poo and decided to lead humanity to glory. He doesn't really understand humanity though which leads a bunch of wacky misunderstandings that end up ruining everything for humanity.

Chaos space marines specifically range in power from "basically already dead dudes inside power armour" to "literally unkillable" that's dependent on how favoured by various Chaos gods and demonlings they are.

Salamanders all have dark skin because they live in a volcanic hellhole. There were those human centaur dudes in Horus Rising. There are definitely short, stout Imperial Guard chapters because their recruiting worlds are all high-G. It's pretty clear that that humanity adapts to the planet it's on (but maybe it's just due to Magos Biologis tampering!)

Cream_Filling posted:It seems like the Grey Knights really know very little about what's going on in the galaxy beyond how to fight daemons, and in general they just do what they're told because they dont' know any better. More like they don't really give a poo poo. A lot of Space Marines don't care about Imperial politics; they just land on some planet, kill the bad guys, and get out. They don't really desire stability in the galaxy or a spot at the political table; they're just killing tools.

Holy moley, Pariah is good. It's really sweet how Abnett uses our assumptions to toy with us obviously, this can't be the Alizebeth Bequin from the original books, but it's easy to accept it until the book throws us for a loop. and creates a far more interesting story than the standard Imperium vs Chaos with Ravenor (with the Imperium's support?) vs Eisenhorn + (possibly loyalist?) Alpha Legion vs Word Bearers + corrupted Ecclesiarchy vs Emperor's Children + Glaw with Cognitae lurking in the mix and Beta and Lightburn not really a part of any group. Random cool stuff: +Patience, patience, patience+ and the Alpha Legion hiding in plain sight textually.

There's some mentions about how the arbitrators will only get involved in crimes that affect the tithe and I think one short story in the first collection has a probators working with an arbitrator, but they won't get involved for kidnappings, gangers, and district-level corruption that the stories largely cover.
