So, the best steel I could find had a tensile strength of 60000 PSI, which means adamantium varies between 300000 and 3000000 PSI. Even Scout Armor, being very thin for Astartes Power Armor, will shrug off 300K PSI, Devatator/Assault/Tactical will shrug off 3 million PSI, and Terminator Armor will shrug off 30 million PSI. Man, Terminators will just bull through everything, huh?

Well, I guess our ships will just be indestructible to regular Xenos and lower Orks, huh?
 
Hm, question. Does the soulstuff have an actual name? I mean, Psykers have more of it, as do Blanks, though with a markedly different composition, but I've never heard an actual canonical name, which you'd think there would be based on the importance of souls considering how the Golden Throne and the Astronomicon work. I'd go with Remnant(it's my go-to if there isn't an existing one) because when the body is destroyed and the soul ripped apart, it's what you end up with.

Why not call it 'Essence'? Or something similar?
 
EMPS: *holds up soul stuff* "I SHALL NAME YOU....EMPERONIUM" *gets boot to the head from Malcador from the other side of the palace*

Ooohhhh, is this the part where we learn Seras can devour Dust (Cristalized Souls a.k.a Spiritron Construct) to further increase her 'Power'/'Control'?
Though considering the Psyker tiers it would probably take us billion if not trillions worth of Dust canisters (the size of a normal human palm for a normal soul) to increase it by a tier, in which case would it not better to refine our Crystal Tier level to power up instead + create a new crystal just for increasing the effectiveness of the power up, or maybe create a 'Dust' Crystal and use that to increase the power + the conceptual weight that comes from it.
Hopefully that's the case since we're unwilling to devour the souls of living humans which would get our 'Power'/'Control' stuck around 110.
Also, if you had to rank Emps and Magnus's stats in terms of 'Power'/'Control' what would they be like, at least a vague approximation.

I agree that essence seems to be the best fit. Another option would be warp presence, which is an established term that directly correlates to how much soulstuff you have.

Actually... shouldn't Emps be several pluses less powerful since his psyker power is reduced by every single human blank that was ever born, even those who were killed as infants?

Well, yes and no. See, Blanks are already less common than Psykers. Also, they have psychic power, it's just that it's normally incompatible with non-Blank psychic power. In theory, a group of Blanks could form a Shadow in the Warp effect by making a psychic choir to combine their nullification zone. Given his nature as a human soulcatcher, it's likely he can pick and choose who to draw on from the gestalt. They probably represent a separate pool he can use to nullify psychic power, like a sort of mobile Cadian pylon.

After seeing the civ vi trailers, I am now wondering if those two constant characters are perpetuals.

Edited because I accidentally did 4 instead of 6

Don't they usually regenerate within a few days?

Canonically to 40k? I've got no clue. But I know while he was in the Middle Earth he didn't regenerate he just rolled up a new character and went with it, Implying either possessive talent or some sort of retrocausality Effect.

Is every Sean Bean movie or performance the same canon? I can't say for sure, but yes.
