To do stuff like that they usually use "tech thralls". Think people who live on a forge world and are *told* that they need to have one or both arms replaced with robotics for their one specific job (they might even selected for it because they are the "optimal height" to load and unload palates of stuff onto trucks with the mass produced arms they have) along with they're probably wired in to receive job requests via radio antenna (with a punishment zapper for good measure, this is grimdark after all), and since they're ""citizens"" of the mechanicus living on a forge world theres not much if anything the imperium could do about it (not that they care, all the tidal bureaucracy of man cares for is the finished products arriving on time)

I've always believed the best perspective on 40K was that it's a horror setting masquerading as a fantasy setting that's masquerading as a sci-fi setting. It's at its best when the horror elements are brought front and center and there are so many interesting ways to approach it. It's a shame it isn't done more often.

@theodorehodbor5080 3 ай бұрын

One incident that I think really highlights how callously and pragmatically the Dark Mechanicus view humanity was when in the book Dark Adeptus the Mechanicus that ruled their forge-world ending up rending down a significant portion of the planet's population into giant muscle fibers to use as adhoc pneumatics in the new titan manufactora they were building. They basically just saw they had a deficit of alloys, a surplus of people, and said "alright let's make this work." To that end what that tells me is they hold disdain for "humanity" as like a soul or moral construct, but as a physical body they view it purely as another machine to be modified, disassembled, and otherwise made compliant for whatever they are working on.

I'm writing a fanfiction right now that involves the dark mechanicum. The main bad guy's name is Xerek the Reclaimer, who is this mechanically cephalopoidal, pyramid headed thing. It found a way to invent psychic technology that he uses to control the minds of people despite not being inherently psychic. It speaks with two voices 1 helium high and one extraordinarily deep.

Commenting pre-watch. I can only imagine with Vastorr becoming more and more of a problem with every piece of lore written about him. He is the perfect character to bring the dark mech to the forefront. His model takes hints from the void dragon. It only makes sense. Also side note, imagine chaos Voltan when Vashtorr finds the crazed ancestor core

@bdablader95 2 ай бұрын

They're a fascinating faction in the heresy, but in 40k They're just another chaos thing. The horror of the dark mechanicum in the heresy is that the followers were finally able to do Forbidden experiments and even invent new things, the chaos corruption didn't truly seep in until the seige of terra where the fruits of their labors were combined with chaos shrines via the Word Bearers. It's a shame they'll never get any decent representation in the tabletop

I just feel they would have accomplished more in 12,000 years. Why would thousands of earth scientists create a thousand fold many wonders between 10,000 and 20,000 than millions of dark mechanicum between 30,000 and 42,000? Like, they have had 3-4 guys figure anything out in that time?

@Fallenscion 2 ай бұрын

I think there are a few possible explanations The first is the classic: Time works differently in the Warp, so it hasn't actually been 10,000 years for them. After that though, ego and genuine insanity are both really bad for scientific advancement - even if you figure out something new that works, it's possible that nobody else can replicate & build off of it. Then you have the warp itself - which is as far from science as most can get if they aren't genuine psykers. That pervasive corruption and influence will make all sorts of things work inconsistently or be based on flawed principles. And all of that aside, there's a huge difference in effectiveness between scientists that have skilled support labor and those who have soul-rending demons or brainless automatons for support. The latter will need to spend a whole lot more time troubleshooting their own creations for flaws in construction even if the theory was sound.

Yeah, and they very similiar with dark mech, but personally Aliens (though they very humanized) far scarier to me because Stroggs don't have that human presence in the first place. I view Dark Mech as crazy people who's really messed up in the head and this is boring(Mechanicus not g either), yeah, fear of apathy, experiments, flesh is weak, whatever, but Stroggs don't really care about all trivial things like personal gain or some fucked up scientific triumph through experiments because they're evil, Stroggs just constantly tear your body to the point where you lose your limbs, conduct experiments to learn how long you live without internal organs, literally breaking your mind through pain and gore and this all just to feed their industrial and military might. This is just only in my view, I don't really want to be near neither of them:)

Oooh, this is definitely a great choice for favorite 40k Horror! My personal favorite is the Disphorac (hope I spelled that right) that exists in all Necrons. It’s basically the Manifestation of the Necrontyrs self-realization of what they have become and what they have lost, basically a Panic Attack x10 mixed with existential crisis. And if you get overwhelmed by it you will end up as a dormant, skittering and twitching Husk that is trapped inside an eternal nightmare. When I read about this in TDK it was genuinely horrifying and heartbreaking to hear and made me feel so helpless and alone like them.

If its specifically horror in 40k that I woulf fear, I think it would be forcibly integrated into the Death Guard. The fact that your mind is still somewhat in tact, but you can visibly see yourself rotting and the insects squirming all over you.

To be fair, I don't know a lot about the Dark Mechanicum but they do sound interesting - however to me they don't sound nearly as horrific as some other factions. I've always made the case that the two most terrifying factions in 40k are the Tyranids and, surprisingly, the Orks. I don't think I need to elaborate on the Tyranids, Cosmic Horror is something that I'm a big fan of and the Tyranids hit a lot of those required notes however, I'm sure a lot of people are going to get confused on the Orks so allow me to explain. With any other faction, there is a reason to fight. For the factions of the Imperium it is to protect Humanity, Chaos literally gains power from performing horrific acts, the Tyranids need Biomass and the Dark Eldar are almost required to torture things in order to keep their souls, the Orks are very different. Orks don't fight to survive or for some greater goal, they fight because they think it's fun. Imagine for a moment if you will, that you are an Imperial citizen living in a down trotted world and the Orks have arrived to slaughter you all for the sake of a laugh. It doesn't help that Orks are rather curious creatures and don't feel pain to the same degree anything else does so, when an Ork accidentally hurts someone they wonder why it hurts and investigate further meaning they could literally rip you limb from limb just to find out what will hurt you and what you can live through. Orks are often associated as the fun faction that just likes to scrap with scrap because they enjoy it, they know nothing else. But, when you stop looking at Orks from an Ork's perspective, they suddenly become something so so so much worse. It doesn't help the fact that Orks can never be cleansed from a world once they land upon it, if even one Ork lands on a world - that world will hence forth always have an Ork on it unless you decided to exterminadus the planet. Orks are my favorite faction but when you look at them from the perspective of a normal Human, they become the most terrifying faction. They have no reasons to do what they do, they do not care at all about life even amongst their own kind and they have no concept of the mortal limitations of pain as a feeling and a physical ailment. Orks are the most terrifying faction in 40k for those reasons.

If you like that type of body horror, you might like a book series called Savage War. It’s a small part of the Galaxy’s Edge Series by Jason Anspach and Nick Cole which is in no way related to Star Wars. The books stand well enough on their own as they are prequels to the rest of the series but they are among my most favorite book series next to the Cain series and Fall of Cadia

Funnily enough, the Dark Mechanicum's mindset is also in another sci-fi setting I like called Eclipse Phase. The Exhumans basically are going down the route of abandoning humanity entirely because an even worse version Skynet got space syphilis and went crazy. They'll also make Frankenstein horrors out of leftover parts, like heads with mechanical spider legs that are constantly screaming and packed with enough C4 to punch a whole in deck plating, freakish walking tanks with decoy weapons to draw fire, or "victims" that scream for help from operating theaters, but are packed with riot foam so anyone who comes to help will be new materials for a sick, posthuman artiste. A bit more sadistic, and they'll do things to the human mind that are far more disturbing since psychosurgery is a known technological process. They can literally rewrite memories and aspects of someone's personality!

Your take on people losing themselves reminds me of the fall of Fulgrim and the Emperor's Children. Everyone slowly sliding into greater corruption after exposure to the Laer temple until finally the artists are painting with the blood of their murder victims, and Fulgrim is imprisoned in his own body by a demon. The EC are one of my least favorite legions, but I actually did like that story.
