I think I have already posted the theory that the Ragdan corrupted the 11th do to no fault of his own. So if Tyrian just be himself he should be a big help to the campaign.

"I assure you sir, these young men aren't going to be sacrificed as cannon fodder when we recruit them." Ohrmuzd explained as he attempted to calm the governor of the planet Scoria. A rather developed world, having been peacefully inducted into the Imperium through the Fifteenth Legion's efforts. But right now, the current ruler of the planet was rightfully worried that the young men the Legion were recruiting would end up as simple meat shields for the Astartes. "You have my word." He swore to the governor.

"I still have misgivings about this, but I will give you the benefit of the doubt." The ruler stated fretfully.

"No cannon fodder, no. They will just go through incredibly brutal and bloody trials, followed by a few years of even more brutal and bloody training, genetic and physiological modification and brainwashing. Optimistically speaking only the 10% of them will survive, but those that do will become the best soldiers in the whole galaxy."

"Phew, that was much harder than dealing with the Mechanicum agents." He mused to himself. That particular meeting had been rather short, simply showing the containers full of xenos technology had sent the entire Machine Cult delegation into a frantic jumble of Binary and wildly shaking mechanadendrites. Eventually ending with an agreement to send the aid of the Cybernetica, and a bonus of priority raising when it came to resupply.

For the sake of Ohrmuzd's sanity, I hope he doesn't stay to see what they do with that technology.

Tinkerer said:
You turn just in time to hear the *BRAKADAK!* of the strategic melta charges placed across the entirety of the mountain arcology the last resistance on this planet had hid in. Something that most likely taken centuries of painstaking effort to complete was reduced to nothing more than rubble in a matter of seconds with a bit of strategic planning and the flick of a button.

And that's why you build fortresses, not cities, under a mountain.

As Aventus causes another planets market to crash, before immediately swooping in and purchasing everything that will allow him to assume complete control of their government. The Astartes ponder whether or not this is the right combination of speed and effectiveness needed for the Crusade to remain stable. While it definitely kept the infrastructure intact to a point,it also bred a certain level of corruption into the system as countless would-be-swindlers took advantage of the boom and ensuing chaos to improve their stations in life. Con-men rising to become politicians, warlords, and rulers, before immediately ceding him control to retain their power after his aid in getting them there.

It was incredibly distasteful, yet why was it beginning to seem like the most effective option? This thought continually echoing in his head as he continued mentally constructing a new economic trap for his next victim, the last inhabited planet in the system. Triarii III.

They had apparently opened up a rather deep well of pre-promethium based fuel and the ensuing the rush had resulted in quite a few countries being rendered penniless. Being reduced to auctioning off parts of their territory to break even.

As he began planning even more intricately how to ruin the planet's economy he sets these thoughts to the side. For now, at least.

Are we... are we even allowed to do that? I mean, it's nice seeing an Astarte's transhuman brain being used for more than just killing, but I fear what Emprah will say about the precedent this creates...

What precedent? The idea of Astartes crushing economies in order to establish dominion?

More or less. Don't get me wrong, it's a bloodless solution that leaves all infrastructures intact and the corruption can be purged later on. So, like Aventus said, it works.

But as far as I see it, it establishes the precedent of Astartes meddling with matters that aren't merely military, but also economical. A Space Marine causes transhuman dread by merely existing, who knows how common mortals might feel at the knowledge they may get overshadowed by such mighty titans?

Perhaps. What are you willing to sacrifice. That is the rule of Equivalent Exchange is it not? :evil:

Oi, Nurgle. I know you might be excited but it's still best not to double post man.

As for your theory, who knows?:whistle:

Hrrm, I know you're being serious and I respect that. But all I can think about is the idea of an Astartes in a suit sitting in a waiting room full of normal people, just there for a job interview like them. He's still wearing a helmet though.
 
I like the Logis compliance method for one overriding reason. It preserves Astartes lives and through Astartes blood is how the galaxy will be won.

Edit: The less blood we spend bringing human worlds into compliance the more blood we can spend against things that can't be negotiated with. Like the Ragdan, Chaos or Proto Beasts.

Of course, if the corruption is left unattended too long that becomes a problem in of itself.

Of course, that's something I hope can be solved through better Logis Doctrine. My goal is to make a better Imperium, so we can't just be introducing criminal corruption left and right to such a huge part of our compliances.
 
Alright fellas, I just got back from my last Final. So in the next few days I'll be putting up the next update. In the meantime feel free to speculate, ask me questions, and just generally enjoy your time in the thread.

Would the MC actually go along pretty well with Mortarion for their shared disdain of psychic powers ?

Eh, canon Mortarion, definitely not. But that's more because trying to converse with him is about as pleasant as trying to remove a daemonic incursion from your rectum. And Tyrian for all his social weakness is still better than Mortarion at it.
