      For me I think what says grim dark the most is the grey knights dreadnought that just looks like an angry space mating being carried in a baby carrier strapped to the chest of his robotic and very stiff robot papa. Not only this silliness but the pose is so so so bad. The pose the model ends up with is very similar to when a child wants "uppies" and waits with his arms out and a little up as they await being picked up by their adult. Obviously I'm not even being sarcastic about that grey knight model being the most quintessential grim dark thing in the 40k universe. Anyone who would even suggest I'm not being genuine is a got dang turducken... Thass a duck inside of a chicken inside of a turkey and then cooked.

      You have to take into account the chances of being chosen to undergo the process of becoming an Astartes, surviving the process and initiations to become a full Battle brother, realising theres a ratio of 1 Astartes for every couple thousand planets and understanding that a handful of you and your brothers can take turn a battle and take a planet in a few days is going to give you a pretty deserved ego boost.

    It is worth nothing to mention that the lower decks of an average human warship are a mirocosm, with little to no interference from the upper decks. The black legion (hopefully one day to be) omnibus tells us about tribes of men doing nothing useful to the ship, simply existing, half forgotten, worshipping the ship's machine spirit and serving as a recruitment pool for the traitor astartes, who periodically go down there to hunt a daemon or two, so the wild land down under won't become too wild. The lowest of the lower decks of the Vengeful Spirit are described as nigtmarish half-organic, half-daemonic hellscape, with warp-originated "life" forming walls of flesh, stalactites of human teeth, and so on.
    For the young of such tribes, their astartes masters might be a legend, witnessed only by their forefathers or some distant tribe from the other end of their "world", and their lifestyle might be close to that of their prehistorical, hunter-gatherer ancestors from Earth. Except for the ecosystem surrounding them taking energy not from the Sun, but from the residual radiation emanating from the poorly shielded ships' reactor, for the meat they hunt being warp-touched critters, and for the berries they pick up being half-daemonic in nature.

    I've always found the glimpses into serf life amongst the traitors to be some of the most interesting elements of Black Library books, from the Death Guard to the Night Lords there are echoes of imperial life and servitude. The meaninglessness of life in the imperium begs the question of how much worse things could be, the horrors of traitor vessels are extreme, but no more than the cold heartless logic of imperial bureaucrats who direct trillions of lives into furnaces and toxic agriworlds where life expectancies are just as low. The difference being is the cruelty of the traitors seems more senseless and personal, it leaves us scratching our heads at the validity of such sporadic violence and cruelty by those who lack the infinite manpower possessed by the imperium.

      Honestly, for the most part I would say their goals are just extremely selfish? One might aim to earn a legacy that outlives them through skill and reputation, while another could fully devote themselves to the chaos gods hoping to secure immortality as a champion or ascend to daemonhood. Beyond this - I really think most traitor Astartess simply don't think / plan that far ahead and instead instead prioritise their own survival, pursuing their own personal desires or dedicating themselves to settling age-old grudges

      @@dystopianchimp This. I think much of the astartes conversion process leaves these people as incomplete and immature, in ways people wouldn't necessarily always recognize. Yes, they are great warriors, but they have no say in their lives. They have the potential of adulthood and being their own person robbed from them. Chaos offers a half truth about this and living for one's self, but exchanges a degree of freedom in this life for eternal servitude in death. The astartes are taken when young, they have not developed emotionally, they cannot interact with mortals like an adult might, so much of their mindsets whether it be complete deference to authority or extreme selfishness are the behaviours of children who have not yet socially matured. Ultimately they are doomed to be tools, not specifically because of the castration involved, but this is encompassed in the greater concept of having all agency stripped away. Having children is a choice, but a choice they are denied by invasive medical procedures, a choice I would say that is a symbolic representation of all other choices taken from them.
      Yes the average human outside of say the Diasporex, lack free will almost entirely by virtue of how impoverished and overworked they are, but there is an extra level of tragedy at such a revered position such as the astartes and the expenses associated and resources allocated, but having little more say than the average factory worker. They live or they die, value is assigned in the name of 'the cause', but who's cause?

      Depends, but the butt of it is that the emperor is a false god (something the emperor would agree with himself funnily enough), and they worship the chaos gods and their motives.
      The funny thing is that the chaos gods are real in 40k, so their belief is valid. It comes down to the perception of morality. One thing they get right absolutely is that the emperor is not a god, and he would agree with that. The emperor despised religion.

      Well it looked like it was the Iron Warriors, and the Iron Warriors are disgusted by weakness, even if that weakness is in the form of people bowing before them as though they were gods.
      The iron Warriors probably saw that serf and what he was doing and saw him as garbage, so they treated him as such with no regard because he didn't deserve it in their eyes and he was in the way.
      They tend to treat you better if you show you have a backbone, my favorite fan made video essentially ended with a guardsman being spared but her commissar being killed, because the commissar was willing to kneel and pledge himself before the iron warriors, but she stood in defiance knowing the iron warrior not only could kill her but probably would, so the iron warrior killed the commissar for his weakness and spared her, offering her the opportunity to prove herself, as the planetary governor failed her, the imperium failed her, and even her commander failed her.

      ‘I am a great horror to you,’ Vorx says. That is certainly true.
      ‘A long time ago,’ Vorx says, ‘I was a horror to myself. The universe is full of horror. You can resist it, and drive yourself into madness. Or you can accept it, and then begin to understand it. I would recommend the latter course, though I accept you must feel quite differently. For now.’
      Dantine stares at the monster. For a moment, he is entirely lost for words.‘You... killed them all.’
      ‘I did not kill you.’
      ‘Why?’
      ‘I do not know. Ha. Do you believe that?’ The monster muses. ‘I am a believer in fate. I recognise a conjunction when I see one. For what it is worth, that has kept me alive for longer than most, and I do not intend to turn an opportunity aside.’
      ‘Why do you do it?’ Dantine can feel himself losing control. He could become angry, if he were not so worn out and nauseous. ‘You were a man once, were you not? You were a human?’
      ‘I still am, of a kind.’ Vorx is not looking at him. ‘We are all on a spectrum,captain. You are at one end, I am at the other. We are still the same species.’
      ‘You are mad.’
      Vorx chuckles again. ‘I have lost count of how many times that insult has been aimed at me. By your kind, by my kind.’ He is still pacing, as if counting out steps.There are things, sluggish things, that seem to be living in his armour.
      ‘The accusation is only meaningful if you can give me some suitable account of sanity. I saw the way you lived on that world. I have seen the way Imperial citizens live on a hundred worlds. If you truly believe that this is a sane galaxy, and that we are the aberrations, then I pity you. But then, you have not seen all the alternatives yet. When you do, your mind may change.’

    I think we're maybe being a bit too conservative with our imagination here. For certain Chaos factions it's easy to picture what reality would be like for a serf; think of a Nurgle warband, its members simply become integrated into a living, giant and peristaltic organism serving their masters, similar as it is for Iron Warriors, where humans are nothing more than consumable parts for a greater mechanism. Followers of Tzeentch are a bit trickier to imagine; I think mutation would be extremely common among them and probably even useful, I don't see how a crew would be much recognizable as humans anymore, flapping, wiggling and thrilling as they go about their arcane and culty doings. Finally, serfs under Khornate and Slaaneshi masters would live in societies where their gods respective excesses are practiced and celebrated; on one hand everything gets done by feeling and in a stupor, I don't see fertility rate being an issue, while on the other things are done with extreme ruthlessness and violence, everything a constant battle for survival. I don't think life would continue very normally for serfs under Chaos, it simply doesn't have to. Something would... Seep in from the Warp, and change things at a fundamental level.

And how they have these underground blackmarkets to get power and shit. It also mentioned how the Night Lords sometimes come down to hunt them but if they have a protection coin, they good.

    Alot of these menial tasks can be often automated.

    However the automation of these systems need not be so independent, make it like a beast, like machine spirits, which are used.

    • @Schwarzvogel1
      @Schwarzvogel1 4 дня назад

      Automated systems cost money and resources to develop, build, and implement. Flesh is a cheap, renewable resource in the 40K galaxy.
      The same also applies, ironically on Terra in M3 (i.e. in the real world). Why do we have robots that can perform neurosurgery, but still rely on migrant labour to pick grapes and strawberries? Surely a living person's brain tissue is more delicate than even an over-ripe fruit?
      It's because there's no shortage of coolies willing and desperate enough to pick crops for hours under the hot sun whilst getting sprayed with pesticides. And it's a lot cheaper to hire these migrant coolies than to develop and field robots to do the same job, at least in the short term.

      @@ozgurruh2535 This is the reason. Maybe the Iron Warrior was bored; or maybe he was just having a bad day. Or maybe he had been keeping his eye on this serf, this Flesh who was getting a bit too big for his breeches by having the gall to think that he actually had some measure of the Iron within. He was stupid and arrogant enough to believe that the Iron Warriors valued _him_ any more than you'd value a particular shell in your boltgun's magazine.
      The serf forgot that he was just an expendable resource, not a person in the eyes of the Iron Warriors, and he paid the price for that mistake. The serfs on Traitor Legion vessels who survive the longest tend to fall into one of two categories:
      A) Those who are indispensable to the functioning of the ship and/or their master's goals. This will typically include personnel such as Navigators, Tech-Priests, and other specialists with skills or abilities that are not easily transferred or trained, and whose roles the Astartes themselves cannot easily fill. Yes, a Chaos Sorcerer can guide a ship through the Warp, and Techmarines do have training from the Mechanicus, but neither is a 100% effective substitute for an actual Navigator or a skilled Tech-Priest, respectively.
      B) Those who avoid their dread masters' notice.
      In the case of the serf in the opening vignette, he was _not_ irreplaceable, as his position was easily filled by the next serf in the shift rotation. And he attracted the attention of the Iron Warriors.
