Your mind contains ideas. Heresy, in abstract, without reference frame of what the heresy is against, exists only as an idea. Additionally, you have mentioned heresy. Therefore, your mind contains heresy.

Abandon your dead god, and praise Tzeentch. He shall illuminate the Path.

FUCK TZEENTCH. FUCK THAT NERD. GODDAMN NERD WIZARDS.

Got my Rogue Trader campaign off the ground tonight and into the stars.

Fairly pleased with how it went, I think my players had a good time. I'm a little shaky as a GM but I did a lot of free-style tonight and kept up fairly well. In the past I've scripted stuff out in my head a lot but this time I'm shooting for a much more player-driven and reactive campaign on my part.

Combat rules for party vs. party + masses of NPC followers didn't feel as right as it could have. But all in all I'm happy so far. I've got to finish my insane Warp Encounters/Warp Travel ready-made adventures document and actually test it in a live game. Of all the stuff I've put together for this game, I think I'm the most proud of it. I really tried to channel all the crazy warp shit I've read over the years into the encounters. It's about 125 entries long atm, and if it goes over well I'll probably expand it.

I am So very offended that people would call me an imperial.
I am basically the Senpai of every Tzeentch cultist on this forum.

Are there any vidyagaems in great crusade setting?
What is ark mechanicus? Just ship?
Were there any attempts to nuke Commoragh? Were the eldars encountered during the great crusade time?

Aighty.

No but omg. Legion mechanics would make for a so much more satisfying Dawn of War.

Just a ship? You dare mock one of the greatest vessels of the Omnissiah?! [/joke] Seriously though, it's huge, like multiple titans can fit in a single hold, and they have teleporters to get around the ship.

(This is my knowledge of the Speranza from Priests of Mars, which I haven't finished reading yet.)

[Xantalos]

The Sperenza is most definetely not the baseline you should be getting your ideas about Ark Mechanicus from.

There are no videogames set in the Great Crusade. It's actually only recently begun to be fleshed out by FW and BL.

The Ark Mechanicus is essentially the spaceship equivalent of a titan. They're large, advanced and used by only the most powerful Magi of the Mechanicus.

Commoragh has been attacked a few times, but nuking it certainly wouldn't work. The place has successfully repelled space marines, defeated an ork Waaagh!!!, survived an invasion by chaos space marines and daemons and survived several instances of what is basically a Webway earthquake. They can lock down parts of the city with impassible energy fields at a moments notice and Commoragh is too large for any conventional weapon to damage meaningfully, being the size of a large moon or small planet. The closest they've come to a real threat was probably when an artist made the Glass Plague and it killed a sizable chunk of eldar and slaves before the Haemonculi came up with a vaccine.

Eldar were encountered during the Great Crusade. Some tried to kill Angron when he was a child, some tried to warn Fulgrim of the Heresy before it happened and some were involved with the Cabal that warned Alpharius of the Heresy.

Well, technically Xan is your Senpai- And my kouhai.

No wide-scale men of iron directly from the chaos gods because, firstly, as already said, is not like they actually give much care about giving orders to their followers.

Secondly, because then they would become a second "necrons" scenario. Imagine chaos robots wiping out mankind, there it goes a huge chunk of the chaos god's happy meals. Imagine they go even further and destroy all sentient species, chaos gods no more.

It does sound like something chaos followers will try to do, heck the dark mechanicum actively do it, but not at wide scale since robots don't have souls, so replacing every heretic follower/soldier with robots would be counter-productive to the cause. Remember that chaos scum ultimately has no end or goal, the means are its goal. Sure yeah they want to destroy the imperium and all that, but if they manage it, despite the huge spike on chaos power for the faul gods at that moment, it would be followed by a rapid decline, just like a predator overkilling its prey beyond recovery.
