You, and all the rest of the people on Veeky Forums, have been cast onto the surface of Holy Terra in the grim dark future. You could swear you heard someone snicker "Just as planned..." as it happened.
You all end up in a quiet corner of the Nord Merican hive arcology. You can only bring what's in your immediate surroundings. What do you do?
Blake Sanders
Make it my life mission to meet the apex twins
Die horribly within the next five minutes
Gavin Peterson
Masturbate. Right there, right then.

Colton Torres
Well I'm a resident /k/ommando, so, probably sell my moist nugget to the admech and live cushy, or get turned into a techpriest
Kevin Nguyen
everyone gets trampled to death by pilgrims

Caleb Collins
>quiet corner
Ayden Long
That IS the quiet corner
Nolan Bailey
Then the only option is for me to yell "heresy!" and hide in a pipe.
Evan Myers
Talk to this guy try team up, see if he has a piece I could have, since I'm gun cucked in nz.
Otherwise try not to die in the first five minutes, and sign up with the local guardsman regiment.
Luis Robinson
>local guardsman regiment >on Terra I'm not sure the Imperial Fists will take you, user.
Luke Wilson
Question, coming from a universe where psychic powers don't exist, am I a blank in 40k, or am I "gifted" a warp presence upon being transported?
Landon Lee
Dis. I always wished I could find more lore about them, Alpha+ psykers have always tickled my fancy. Regardless of the fact that any tech I could take with me would be HORRIBLY out of date and useless, might as well go do something cool like that while I wait to be purged or starve.
Elijah Hill
You have a warp presence, and a small chance to spontaneously become a psyker.
Exactly one guy will be a blank. You will know him because literally everyone else will hate him immediately.
Dominic Evans
The ultra-polluted atmosphere obliterates my cushy, healthy lungs in minutes.
Or I get strapped in some rotary face-raper that somehow keeps my alive for eternity too.
Or I get mistaken for a psyker and get tortured on the Black Ships and eventually soul-flayed to keep the Astronomican going.
Or I get shot for disobeying law 4102013345, section 12554, subsection 12.
Henry Kelly
Forgot to mention, you each get a handy dataslate with a map of the surroundings, a pilgrim's guidebook on Terran culture, and a Gothic-English translator.
Christian Fisher
> literally everyone else will hate him immediately
This may not be the distinguishing characteristic you think it is.
Jaxon Taylor
Why not? M 28 6'4" 90kgs fit Can shoot alight, just don't own my own. I think I would make a fine trooper
Dylan Lee
I dunno, are you 14 so you can become a Neophyte?
Does Terra even have/need a PDF?
Levi Johnson
Well, I can't make it too easy to figure it out. You fuckers would get him kidnapped by the Assassinorum by pointing him at psykers.
Jason Walker
>fit Here's a laser pointer. Charge at that Obelisk.
Unless you've led a lifetime of harsh conditions, or are some legendary warrior monk on your planet, you ain't goin' nowhere but into the fray.
Ethan Thompson
Wait, the Terran Praefects are a thing.
They also suck, and their only fluff mention is the Chaos Lord Periclitor laughing at them being shit.
Tyler Gray
My head possibly explodes because I've had enough idle thoughts come true that I genuinely think I might be psychic.
If not, find the nearest techpriest, and hand him all the electronic devices I could reach. Ask to join the admech. Or at least gesture as such because I do not speak gothic.
Desperately scramble to explain my presence, the recovery of the tech, my ignorance of imperial custom, etc. etc. to the point my life resembles a laurel and hardy skit for a little while.
Eventually settle into my new life as a techpriest. As I am free of the writer fiat that would enforce stagnation, failure, and general idiocy upon 40k characters, I aim to work hard at learning/training/influence gathering until I can rise to a position where I can make intelligent changes/perform original research/do cool shit.
Blake Gomez
>Do cool shit You realize Techpriests do not do research, yes? It goes against healthy xenophobia.
Inquisitors would do something like research. Mostly so they can figure out how to stop doing research because that sounds oddly like you think the Emperor isn't doing enough and that humanity isn't perfectly perfect in every way. And you don't think that way, do you? We'd have shot you already if you did, so you must not.
Mostly techpriests hack off parts of their own bodies and replace them haphazardly with machinery.
Or enact repair rites. Or use leftover body parts to make new machines like servo skulls.
Jaxon Ortiz
Taking bets on how many days it takes for this guy to end up a servitor.
Eli Rodriguez
>You realize Techpriests do not do research, yes?
I hate this meme. They do. That's were new pattern weapons and armor come from. It just takes forever because the Martian basement is full of machines that want to tear you apart.
Also, techpriests don't like to share research, which slows the distribution process even further.
Brandon Russell
Sharing research is also what attracts the attention of the Inquisition.
Connor Rivera
Veeky Forums is dropped on Holy Terra? I give it a week before we give birth to Slanesh 2, Slanesh harder.
Liam Taylor
I give it a week before we're all eaten by gangers.
Dylan Wright
>You, and all the rest of the people on Veeky Forums, have been cast onto the surface of Holy Terra in the grim dark future
Oh god, imagine the smell. It would be like when Horus dropped Morty's dirty laundry on Istvaan III
Samuel Evans
Time to kill the emperor.
WHO CAN PASS UP KILLING A GOD WHEN GIVEN THE CHANCE?
Lincoln White
Reported to the Custode he does it for free
Evan Russell
About that.
Liam Bennett
>kill the emperor The Golden Throne is canonically on the fritz.
Wear-and-tear beat you to it.
Juan Young
noice
so is that what Abaddon means when he talks about the Long War?
Anthony Thomas
They can try to stop me and most likely will, But by the gods. I will fucking try it.
But its NOT gone yet, just breaking it down.
Nicholas Parker
So. What are your plans on taking on the three hundred elite Custodes in the actual throne room itself?
Jacob Gray

Jeremiah Williams
I never said I would survive. I said I was gonna kill the Emperor. There's hopefully a lot of shit to grab and turn into explosives as I hunt through the place.
Jace Lee

Ayden Thomas
Holy shit, Veeky Forums has a resident explosives expert? And you're carrying all that how?
Andrew Wright
>He can't carry a fuckload for a few minutes Are you a manlet or just a fag
Eli Ross
Visit /k/ sometimes, they impart wisdom when not fucking Gun oil.
Ethan Garcia
Oh, so you're going to have random dudes from Veeky Forums carry your guns FOR you, I see. A good idea.
Cooper Long
Where did that conclusion come from?I grab it you dumbass
Austin Reyes
And carry all of it, on your person, for the rest of your life?
Isaiah Cooper
Discovering old stuff in the basement isn't research, user. Isn't the lead cause becoming a heretek is "wanting to advance science" anyway? Techpriests are glorified tech support, not innovators.
Jeremiah Ramirez
For maybe 6 hours MAX.Niggas pay big for ancient artifacts you know.
Gavin Sanchez

Cooper Adams

Cooper Sanders
Present to the Admechs my ancient technology that houses old world knowledge. I am sure they would be mesmerized by the likes of Prince, Talking Heads and David Bowie.
Isaac Thomas
Probably burst into daemons and heresy thanks to all the forbidden knowledge I have of Chaos.
Ayden Jackson
find the nearest political cesspit and participate in depraved orgies while under the influence of mind altering intoxicants.
So you know, I guess I'd start by heading to the capital...
Isaiah Rivera
Great you handed antique obsolete tech to a tech priest.
Xavier Allen
One.
Cooper Howard
Aren't 40k humans Stone Men, whilst we're the precursors of the Gold Men?
So I imagine even the more robust of us would be frail, sickly and prone to disease and infection compared to the average terran.
Jayden Bell
>You realize Techpriests do not do research,
Cameron Cook
See guys? I'll have no problems.
Isaac Cruz
Hmmm let's see, a place I know nothing about, or what I know about it is way too dangerous, don't speak the language and will probably die horribly since the world is harsh and grimdark.
Try to make some sort of Veeky Forums basecamp. Try to figure out a way to get food. Try to pick up low gothic.
Figure out what skill I can sell that isn't extremely outdated and that practicing won't get me killed. I *could* draw portraits and icons of the emperor and Sanguinus but then god knows what I'd be getting wrong about the iconography and would mark me as a heretic.
Anthony Wilson
>Draws icons of Emperor >It becomes corrupted >The space marine you gave it too didn't notice until it was too late >HH 2.0 rise of the Chaos-smurfs.
Michael Richardson
I know how to make lho-sticks, so I would round up some guys and start a manufactorum.
Camden Sullivan
Well, being the elf fag as I am, would probably be executed for xenophilia, heresy and the sort of thing.
David Brown
I don't know what here is useful but I'm bringing all of it.
Nicholas Howard
No, I just want to join the guard; for the emperor I will serve, hopefully my meta knowledge of the fluff will serve me well and I will progress through the ranks; but if I die before I wake the emperor will take my soul to take.
For the glory of Terra; and the safety of mankind I will hold the line; as my ancestors before me.
Kayden Howard
Considering how 40k humans are shriveled mutated disease-ridden manlets I'd probably be mistaken for a space marine. A fat one.
Dylan Ross
Wait, are namefags blanks?
Andrew Taylor
It's the opposite actually see 40k humans are the remnants of a genetically engineered servant race created to provide hardy yet unimaginative labourers during mankind's settlement of the stars.
Angel Lee
Source?
Connor Perez
something wrong with gun oil user?
Jaxson Miller
Emprah reingeneered the terrans again.
Carter Hill
The good programmer meme says that a good programmer will never have a problem to find a job, so I will see if its true in facist dystopia 40k land. Surely there must be some several thousand year old legacy code base hell that could need a programmer to maintain it.... Maybe I should just join the guard.
William Gutierrez
I would challenge all of the chaos gods to be a better one than all of them and proceed to make the existence better or alternatively I remember reading somewhere that if a psyker collects the energies while he's alive then after his death he will become a self made daemon or a prince daemon
Gavin Barnes
>Figure out what skill I can sell that isn't extremely outdated
You know the gaunts ghosts novels mention brothels.
Adam Scott
Bring the cat. It can keep future rats out of our Veeky Forums slum.
Gabriel Fisher
You mean catch supper; good old rat stew just like mama used to make.
Cooper Collins
Before the mutant rats ate her?
Michael Stewart
I copy all of my 40k PDFs onto my tablet, then I go and turn myself in to the Inquisition, tell them that I'm from an alternate universe in the year 016M3 where all of this was a fictional game setting, and ask to become an Acolyte.
I mean, I know a lot of the setting's secret truths, and I know that they induct people into the Inquisition because they know things; there was an entire Career for PCs like that in Dark Heresy 1e (the Adept).
Then I spend whatever time they don't spend interrogating me praying that they decide to send me out to join an Acolyte team, rather than just executing me or erasing my mind for Knowing Too Much.
Juan Wood
Page 8 Bump. Noone else has any thoughts?
Leo Cook
Yes. Wisdom.
Easton Roberts
You now know how to make Napalm rounds. As I said Wisdom mate.
David King
Finally some ammo against the cringy as fuck "the admech never had the knowledge" pasta
Julian James
I have a revolver so I can take out four of you guys if you want to an hero with me
that or join up with the guard
Henry Wood
nice trips nice cat nice clean
Logan Brooks
So a whole bunch of little figures of Chaos Demons and some super ancient tech. Yeah that's gonna go super well.
On the plus side, the Inquisition will probably not immediately kill me because they'll want to torture and interrogate me for a few hundred years.
Ryan Anderson
>wah my disposable income that came from never taking the dad pill would be worthless
Cry more, faggot.
Eli Gray
you could become a radical inquisitors sextoy, it might even be female
Xavier Sullivan
A long while ago Veeky Forums had a thread about the oldest 20 sided die found, and it came from under the Roman Coliseum. OP asked what would gladiators roleplay, and the first post was "Anything but gladiators".
I guess we would start playing anything but 40k in our little slum.
Adrian Russell
They literally forgot how to make Vanquisher cannons. They literally forgot how to make a long barreled cannon! I'm not talking about a fucking plasma gun or grav cannon or terminator armor or something complex like that.
A fucking cannon! It's too complicated for them to reproduce!
The Adeptus mechanicus are idiots.
Juan Watson
The only correct answer is to group up, find the nearest inquisitor and convince them were from the past or alt dimension and tell them all the Lore and shit they dont know yet.
We will live like Kings as long as we keep giving them knowledge.
Ayden Jackson
Interrogator plz

I guess I bring my kindle with all the 40k rulebooks and novels on, then trade/barter information on the enemies of the EMPRAH for some kind of safety?
