Because possessing the body of Big E would give us access to his immense psychic powers, and his status as a perpetual.
Lol you do know that those powers come from the soul right? Not the body? We would just get a meat mech which we could pilot
Edit: we have no soul of are own so we are both immune but can never gain psychic ability's even if it does work we would be trading in a immunity for that

I'm hoping that by possessing Big E's body we will keep his soul for ourselves like in a daemonic possession. There is always a chance it might not work, but if it does it will be the perfect revenge.

that wouldnt work. like holy fuck it would fail badly. remember this is warhammer, if we could have done that we would have tried with the old ones...and we couldnt fucking do it.

It originally started as a joke due to us stupidly helping the Emperor regenerate at our expense. I figured it would be a fun way to get back at the players who keep doing it. I actually thought it was going to fail. Then I rolled a 16 out of 100 for making the blueprints, and an 8 out of 100 to start building the machine. Now it's starting to look possible. The Emperor is going to get off the throne in 2 turns, and this could remove him from the board. It very likely could fail, but if it succeeds the narrative implications will be insane.
Ya we can eat his soul to gain power but we are quite literally made and born to not have psychic powers and to be able to counter them easily plus this is the emperor were talking about he is strong enough to hold off the chaos gods! Plural! Like more then one and if we make a single mistake while holding his soul he could break free and absolutely destroy us
If we gain his body that just means we could eat his soul which would be the best option by powering us up enough to become near are prime

That is also an option, that and impersonating the Emperor would give us complete control of the Imperium.
Yup I'm just saying your doing it for the wrong reason we should be trying to eat his would not take over his body

I probably am, but after my great dice rolls I decided to go all in and have us become master of the Materium and Immaterium.

I can completely understand that and if it somehow works I will be happy just make sure not to accidentally let the emperor consume US please

I agree your concerns, and I am proceeding cautiously in this. Assuming it is finished on schedule, I plan to use the flesh transference machine at the exact moment the Emperor regenerates. Because at that point, we would be screwed either way if it doesn't succeed.

fucking politics...probably sent minimal forces...this is why we need proper FTL Com's and travel...slip-space is technically possible in warhammer, as its potentially just going up in dimensions rather then down into the warp and such.
still, lets hope for better rolls and ideas, getting proper FTL coms and travel that doesnt rely on fucking hell is a great idea, since exposure to warp energy either furthers the potential for psykers and attuning a species to the warp, and of course addicting them to it basically.

I just haven't gotten to those yet. All whispers are responded to in the order they were posted.

Somehow the tech priests have managed to send the essence of coffee into the Noctis Labyrinth. Where they got it and how they did it escapes even the mighty mind of Mag'ladroth. The shards reaches immaterial claws to grasp the vessel and take a giant swig.
Uggh, it's far too sweet. Someone poured a huge amount of honey into it. Wait is it glowing gold. Oh shi...
Paradox-Billiards-Vostroyan-Roulette-Fourth-Dimensional-Hypercube-Chess-Strip Poker is an immense success. The sheer variety of strategems possible along the complexity and depth of the game grip hold of nearly all of Mars. It even manages to rouse the serfs from their apathy. Of course now all they do is wear outlandish hair styles and challenge each other to games to settle every dispute, but it's better than them dying.
Strangely the undisputed champion is the Custodes Captain General. No one is sure how, but he always manages to pull a win out of nowhere.
A little bit of blackstone, a machien spirit, and the Omnissiah's sigil. All combined into a handy little gadget that protects against unwanted psychic intrusion. It isn't perfect, but it's relatively straightforward to produce and only slightly ridiculously expensive. The design quickly spreads across the sector frustrating chaos's attempts at corruption.
Every one is prepared for a terrible failure. The containment teams are on standby. The experiments occur at the polar laboratories, and self destruct charges are ready to take out the lab at a moment's notice. So of course the servitors work perfectly. They show no signs of abnormality and function to every given specification. Of course it's a little hard to test their anti psychic abilities when the Sol system is already so heavily suppressed, but presumably those work as well.
The vessel goes into the webway and after travelling what is judged a sufficient distance the blackstone is moved into a new configuration. Power is applied and everything vanishes. The webway cracks and shatters as it is no longer supported and the observation has to turn and flee to a more stable area. Further investigations show that that portion of the webway has apparently been permanently destroyed.
There is no sign of what happened to the test vessel.
What can you do indeed. The Emperor's demands to the Fabricator General become less aggressive and the Custodes more cordial. He still wants most of the pylons shut down however.
The last detonation destroyed most of the mutant population living under the crust of Mars. Now they are back. Deputy Fabricator General Kelben knew all those new genetors couldn't be trusted. They grew the draconic lifeforms as intended, but then somehow a large portion managed to escape the containment tanks and rampage through the skitarrir guards before vanishing underground.
It isn't quite what you're used to, but you are finally able to build a proper body for yourself. As the necrodermis slides over your form and crackling energy runs over your body you levitate yourself into the army and begin putting your various systems to the test destroying and reconstructing the base around you into something more appropriate.
The tech priest kneel around you in awe, and scurry away to gather more materials as you command it.
Through a complicated augmentation process the survival rate of the new aspirants is raised to almost 20%. Kane is very pleased with the genetors progress. Not only have they managed to repair the degradation, but they've even managed to improve on most current space marine chapters. The Black Hand Legion is already growing into a formidable force indeed.
On the other hand the cyborg commandos see little progress. They are still just as psychopathic and unstable as ever. Still the genetors have decided to take a page from the assassins playbook and develop ways to deploy and retrieve the commandos without exposing them to friendly forces.
Creating a substance that weakens the warp on Luna when the moon was still travelling through the webway was perhaps not the most well thought out plan. Oh yes the Tiberium fulfills all the goals of the project. It matchs exactly the dreams of the Omnissiah as a substance that can easily propagate over the land and turn otherwise useless worlds into rich mineral fields. However it also displayed mutagenic properties that were somewhat concerning. And when it grew to a high enough density in the test lab it exhibited electrical anomolies that it dramatically enhanced its Warp Suppression properties. The entire test lab was torn out of Luna as the webway twisted and the Tiberium samples were spewed out into the warp and beyond across a thousand worlds.
