History Headscratchers / Warhammer40000SpaceMarine

** The [[GauntsGhosts Armour of Contempt]].

*** That's another term for Blanks right? In 40k Psykers go ''both'' ways. As in: He could be an anti-Psyker, and therefore resistant to Warp effects (though any Librarian in the Ultramarines wouldn't enjoy being near him at all). See Gunner Jurgen in the Literature/CiaphasCain series for an example of a higher-level Blank

*** To add on: Khorne hates magic not because of magic itself, but because a large part of what magic does doesn't jive with his theme. As a Chaos manifestation of martial bloodletting, he would obviously see the advantages of magical teleporation/speed towards the enemy, daemon swords, and even possessed bolters and cannons, but he'll roar his discontent at a sorceror firing off a bolt of chaos literally out of nowhere instead of getting his hands dirty.

*** Orks get smarter the longer they live. Since Orks are eternally young, a Warboss could become very kunnin' given enough time and gitz ta fight.

*** Orks get smarter the longer they live. Since Orks are eternally young, a Warboss could become very cunning given enough time

** In a non-guessing answer, the game offers no answer. Maybe a sequeal will tell us, maybe not.

** Probably a mix of both, although your average ork is smart enough to know to use giant guns rather than loot them (unless they have a [[MadScientist mekboy]] with them. Orks would never waste perfectly good Dakka unless they thought they could make even more Dakka out of what they wasted (and given [[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve the way ork science works]] if they think they can they usually can).

* I was always under the impression that the orks acting smart (using big guns instead of looting them, etc) was because they were being manipulated by Chaos. Is that the case, or are they actually smart (see GeniusBruiser for the warboss)?

** You know, the whole 'Khorne never uses Sorcerers' thing is ''really stupid''. How do you summon Bloodletters otherwise? Wave a sharp stick around until they just pop out of the air? Besides, Nemeroth seems to follow Chaos Undivided, and they tend to be more fluid about those things.

* Nemeroth is a Chaos Sorcerer, why is he able to command Bloodletters?

** Service studs. Usually represent a century of service.

** Alternatively: Titus is a Khornate servant.

* What are those dots on Titus's forehead? He looks like he's got a couple of nails driven into his skull.

* How IS Titus immune to the Warp's energies?

** About weapon-shrines: I guess it's the same as the titan, the whole planet makes weapons, which are meant to be used off-world. I think the shrines will give the weapons not only to space marines, but also the inquisition, battle sisters, etc. The shrines will probabaly even give the weapons to higher-ranked elite guardsmen.

** Just about all creatures have some psychic parts of their brains. The Psychic Scourge works by targeting and destroying said parts of their brains. Orks' psychic abilities still come from the Warp (Weirdboyz still have to roll Perils of the Warp, for example) but they're much more resistant to corruption. That doesn't mean a psychic attack won't explode their brains. Ditto for the tau; they still have a warp presence, but it is very limited. The Scourge, from what I gathered, could be keyed to target anything that wasn't human (and could still kill humans, in case someone needed to do a clean Exterminatus). Of course, the Scourge could also be used to open a Warp Gateway, or at least the Power Source could be used as such. Who knows, maybe Drogan was completely out of his gourd and was being prodded in that direction by Chaos the whole time. It's happened to Inquisitors before.

** Thank you!
