My two cents. The rule of a thousand space marines is as said, to prevent wholesale corruption of marines. While most try to maintain this they do tend to create more than they need. In some cases when the numbers get high enough they are split off to form a new chapter. The Ultramarines are the mos...

Well, a Space Wolf aspirant ( not even a full Scout yet ) is able to 'hear a twig snap a league away, and see for a kilometer, and follow the musk trails of elk' and stuff. This is a Space Wolf aspirant, i dont know if it applies to all SM, but this is the guy with some of the implants and genemods...

I seem to rember in one of the old Han Solo books that the scars didn't go away unless treated with bacta in some form. This was sort of an in charcter explination for Harrison Ford's chin scar, incidently also recieved in a car crash. In one of the X-wing books it is mentioned in relation to Face t...

The Slayers fan in me says Lina too but after reading the stuff on Kaze I'd have to go with MAD. The girl with the spell to destroy all existance(if she screws up) vs the guy with the gun to destroy the gods....yeah, just lots of damage.

I hope that is true because there is enough details in the link there for it to have been plucked wholesale form the Man-Kzin war books. They talk not only of the Kzinti but also of the slavers, thier rather polymorphic weapons and the rather prized(in the books anyhow) stasis boxes.

Adeem: Funny...I could have sworn reading that it was less than that to space. Gah, been to long out of school I guess and I need someplace to double check things I read against.

My mistake. Point withdrawn.

the joy of war40k is that it takes *decades* for info to move. I can quite cheerfully kill every planet within 50 light years of earth, and have nearly a century before anyone knows about it. they would have to send ships to see whats going on, report back, gather a fleet, and launch. I have time. ...

just realized an added bonus as I was flipping through my 40k manual - the astronimocon is powered by hundred of consecrated psykers daily, brought by the black ships, iirc. use a few star destroyers built by world devastators to cut that off, and no warp drive is possible :D The astronocon isn't w...

I don't think it was quite /that/ bad Pick. I rember there being a few besides Ranma. Not many but a few. Viz seemed to enjoy taunting the North American audiance by also setting thier release scedule to be every to months for new ones. :P Ah well, Shonenjump and a few other Japanese magazines have ...

Well, if you haven't seen it, Weta, the minds behind the special effects for Lord of the Rings, are doing the special effects and props for the new Narnia movies. They did a featurette showing some of the creatures, weapons and armour that will be in the movie. http://www.apple.com/trailers/disney/t...

But the guys that do Red vs. Blue are now making their own Sims 2 "reality show". It's called The Strangerhood . Are they trying to profit from that? Given it'd be illegal, I'd guess no. Actually last I heard Strangerhood was sponsored by EA. In fact I heard EA actually went to them to se...

Does anyone second the motion?

Can we add an addition that when shottingt he person we start with the smaller joints of the arms and legs before putting any rounds in the torso.

Some of what is being suggested is of the Empire under ideal conditions. If we do taht for the Empire we should do that for the Imperium. The entire time Palpatine was on the throne he didn't have this level of weaponr and was trying to fight Rebels. They have suggested the Rebels are wiped out and...

Yes but your allowing for Dark troopers and World Devistators. If you get that how about the IoM getting Void weaponry. They can't build anymore of these but they are much more deadly than anything they currently ahve. example, in the case of a torpedo it would explode, create a vast sphere of darkn...

Yup, in fact one guy working on the movie got a call from a friend who was working on the dig. When he described the dimensions of the Utahraptor the movie guy laughed and said,"You found Speilburg's raptors!" They had known they were to big for the actual species in hte book but they had ...

Well, the number for the Star Wars side being thrown around is a thousand Star Destroyers so what ever thier compliment in Storm Troopers and thier equipment available on board would be your ground troops. Assuming that that is your invasion force and there is no reinforcment that is probably a real...

I get lot's of wierd dreams, mostly about war in some for or another. Either I'm on the frontlines fighting or doing covert op type stuff. A few times I'm even being a spy.

The few I ahven't ahve have been of a country where....well let's just say it's really amazing.

Whoops, mixed up Kain and Azriel last night. Someone want to delete my post in this thread?

I admit when you get down to it, it really doesn't work much in a military debate. However when it comes to 40k the spiritual side of it is so tied to the physical it's hard not to get the two involved. Even reducing it to just humans passing propaganda it's not likely to effect the fleet besieging ...

For all we know it could turn out to be like Gladiator. Real setting with names of real people but a story and events that don't actually happen in history. Just my two cents.

Most humans in 40k don't show psychic potential but have a presence in the warp. Even those that do have some talent don't always have mutations.

Besides, if all SW humans were blanks as described in 40k, none would stand to be near each other.

On average, you'd be right Gunhead. The Imps would have no more or less protection than the Imperial Guard. Though you have to rember that is more my opinion from what I have seen than anything I can prove. If it were easy to prove faith protects the world religions would have alot more ammo in thie...

Forgot the sarcasm tags in mine. Anyhow, looks like Lucas knows his fanbase.
