It takes 15 turns to construct a new cathedral. We might want to put in the order and then start up the cathedral construction ASAP.

No, it takes 15 years = 3 turns. I'm more concerned if we'll have space in any forge hives for more cathedrals, or if we'll have to expand a forge hive first. And all the costs I've calculated took the one relic-producing cathedral we plan to build into account: We'll need a second God-Machine cathedral after this one, within 10 turns if we build 20 terminator armors, within 20 turns if we don't.

If Granalf does them they can end up as Relics of a high tier, better than we could make ourselves.

I'm not entirely against it, but it'll be more debt.

I remember that the Sons has slightly over a thousand Marines left, and that if you added all the digits, it equaled nine, the number of Tzeentch. Which is slightly interesting, since it implies that the Chaos Gods use a base-10 number system.

I'm pretty sure they were that low when they found Magnus.

He named them the thousand sons because there was only 1000 of them left after all.

Quick, switch to something completely harmless.

Let's do 5. Or maybe Base 4. Or even base 2. Hell, let's skip integers altogether. Base-pi. Chaos can't corrupt our code when it isn't actually able to represent any of their sacred numerals in a neat and elegant way.

Whoops, error in terminology.

It is nice seeing coding jokes
 
Speaking of Chaos Gods, I do have to wonder how interested Khorne is about Avernus. On the one hand, we're badass mofos who rode out an invasion by the subjects of his biggest hate-on. On the other hand, psykers.
 
so the Vargarain Guard have 12 to 13 squads to a Cohort depending on if the captain forms a command squad or distributes his offices among other squads. they also have 11 psykers counting the Epistolary. This leaves them with a rather interesting organizational decision, which squad doesn't get a Liberian? It's not an unimportant question, epically since Liberians are likely recording the history of their assigned squad.

It's a moderately difficult organization question, and it likely would create a non trivial amount of debate and organizational ruffles to work around, it's just such a weird problem to have. I imagine the older officers mostly debate this while grinning because the situation is just so patently ridiculous compared to the sever scarcity of psykers that is the norm.

Honestly, if I were Julius I would take more less powerful pskyers just to give every squad a librarian. Seems like there's no unit the flexibility of a primaris would be wasted on.
 
Why not? It can be argued that the Capybara would bite the spiders to kill them and spit them out later because the spiders taste yucky. Then they'd brink back a bunch of spider corpses and attempt to trade for fruit or plants.

A new favorite animal in Avernus?

this one is from here ^^, you can still find them outside the forest. I will note that tick the is found on them was said to me to be nasty enough to hurt horses ('carrapato estrela').

well they said that capivaras are really friendly, so if there is avernus capivaras then that is the aspect which I would believe make them survive (or as 'cattle' for the 'people' of Avernus).
 
Maybe they use there soothing cuteness telepathy to convince animals to cuddle them instead of eating them?

Plus I hear they can be eaten as a meat alternative by the catholic church during holy days in venezuela. Maybe I can write an omake tommorow about how they just seem to barge into cities and live in trashcans as they wait for people to 'feed' them via throwing food inside. An then follow it up with people taking some in as cuddly pets as an alternative to dogs.

the part of the city is true (they do enter our cities), it is a shame but is the truth, I also believe that they could eat trash (if is things with celulose), but they usually eat grass and stuff like that (plus they need to use their teeth a lot), I imagine that the use of beer grass with them is actually a good idea, because if they can eat that or other more 'rich grass' they could be used as cattle.
In a similar note, I know that in 40k life for the poor is really really bad, but with all our techs are our people eating well? or at last eating meat? I ask that because if a lizard burger's company can become as big as a rogue trade (I think) a capivara burger or as pet would be better (I have found here that their meat is a dry and taste like pork, so better than lizard burger I think).
 
Maybe they naturally gravitate to the farming districts to take advantage of the Grox fields of grass. Which annoys farmers who have to shoo them out or kill them. After which more just pop in randomly and eventually they just eat throwaway fruit and salads left in garbage cans? Not sure.

Do cops shoot them? I know some places in Florida certain animals are killed because they bring disease and hurt livestock like skunks and possums.
 
An then they turn 31 and there luck suddenly makes them celebrities. I remember our stats was that around 31 is when most tend to die due to Avernus conditions.
