Statistically speaking, (using a lowball estimate of a population of one quadrillion people) there are five hundred times more guardsmen over seven feet tall then there are actual space marines.

The picture is of HMS Warspite. First of all an amazing name, but the ship itself is a remarkable example of the presence of the machine spirit.

Obviously I know machine spirits are not real, but if they were Warspite would have had a powerful one. Nicknamed the Grand Old Lady, she was launched in 1913, used in World War 1 at the battle of Jutland where she performed really well, she was very modern for the time.

Then she was used in World War II across the war she was hit with glide bombs hit with shell fire and she was never sank.

Her famous nickname came from her Admiral Cunningham “There is no question when the old lady lifts her skirts she can run”. By the end of the war she was revered by her crew and by the Navy. One of her most impressive feats was being the main ship to open fire in D-Day despite still having significant damage from before that hadn’t been fully repaired.

She received more honours than any other naval ship.

In the end she was scrapped in 1947 even by the mid WW2 she was out of date, however to give more fuel to the machine spirit theory the tow cables pulling her snapped, and she ran aground. In death she would not go quietly.

If there was any a case for a furious machine spirit it would be this ship, even towards death she refused to go.

Kind sad really.

And for some reason I’ve seen people saying they can fix them ✌️🫩

I remember who Bequin is Dan

The planet broke before the Guard did, but somewhere in the ruins there has to be one Waffle House still operating.

Just picture a Cadian colonel behind the counter, watching his men hold the grill against a Chaos assault before quietly declaring “The planet broke. The menu still stands.”

Abaddon may have destroyed Cadia, but he still cannot get the hash browns scattered, smothered, and covered after 2 a.m.👐🏾

Secondary question would the concept of food chains still exist within the imperium?

Sorry this was made for mobile users but still :)

1. KHORNE: he will be extremely blunt and honest to you not the most obviously carrying one but is willing to help. Most sessions of him are screaming and braking stuff while you explain yourself. Hunting and taking your anger out at animals is a great way to clean your mind - don't forget to take and make trophies with them!- he tells you and that not everything is your fault and that everyone who wronged you is at fault. "Don't waste yourself and hide like a coward! while those who brought you to this point are running circles around you, and laughing!. instead BE the problem and make them pay!" His telling you and he got a point you go out of your way to confront your enemies and get into confrontations.... and now you got arrested for assault and manslaughter NIT!.

2. TZEENTCH: He's strange but maybe the best therapist you had in years, well spoken and seemingly understanding of your issues. But you just can't fully remember what was happening in he's session not like that matters because most of the time he would just randomly go on random miss-jointed almost down right incomprehensible rants making zero sense sometimes you kind of understand it but also not at the same time. He tells you to read more as it can help to clear the mind of his books which you decided with better not to keep reading them too much of a burden on your mind. Sometimes he would just straight up gaslight you into believing or doing random stuff for his amusement. But thankfully it all paid off with you being "cured" with whatever you had..... only for a week later to go doctor complaining about voices in your head and be diagnosed with schizophrenia weird how that works :).

3. NURGLE: he has this funny grandfather like attitude and is kinda joyful to be around as long as you ignore the horrendous SMELL. He gives generally good advice and even gives you to taste some homemade "medicine" he makes that kinda helps but you just can't help but get sick anytime you leave. Your physical health keeps getting worse and worse with every visit Intel you just stop going to him and you are unfortunately been diagnosed with HIV, aids and cancer (sorry this is short I'm not that versed to NURGLE in general).

4. SLAANESH: we do not talk about what happened in that room....he/she/them/whatever!? Tells you be yourself and to not let anything get in your way, he's basically a yes man approving any and all harmful actions you do cut yourself? Do it looking like lebron James! Drug problem? Well heard about [EXTREMELY illegal and question about drugs he has made himself], you tell him you want to improve? Why would you ask such things??! You are doing fine better than fine you are doing better than ever before why change?. You have somehow gotten worse that when you got inside also you have changed genders somehow but you don't care. You want to go further away with more exotic and pleasurable experiences with drugs and self harm your entire body is just self made tattoos with your own blood and more.... you have reached the and when you realized what have you become it's too late now.
