      We really need some awesome rogue trader characters. I want a pysker rogue trader who's biggest job is to find new tech. So decked out in Archeo and Xeno tech and a nice mobile exo skeleton. Sort of like uhh... Grey Fox. A combination of high mobile and hard hitting but not tanky. I just know he phase shifts and has a polearm. A wrist energy shield, an energy tether, and a small jump pack.
      Crew? Definitely an AdMech Explorator who is decked out and borderline a heretic. A huge tank with a lot of guns, and will do anything to get hands on tech - and tries to experiment on the crew to "upgrade" them.
      Captain who is basically the ship.
      Maybe get a sulking Astartes who was outsted and has to redeem himself in order to be accepted back into his chapter by some magnificent feat.
      The greatest thing about Inquisitors and Rogue Traders is that they can be whatever the hell you want and the 40k universe has literally a billion possibilities. The characters I just said are dime a dozen and aren't even powerful compared to others that can speak the language of the universe and shit.

      I agree with Mr Sir, I think UR025 acts the way it does because it is doing everything it can to survive. People like us, in the 21st millennium are very different psychologically, and even physiologically, from the 41st millennium humans; it has been hinted that modern day man, us, are the fabled progenerators of Men of Gold, so we are more alike to UR025's creators than the 41st millennium's humans.

    On another note: I’m pretty sure the ratling names are supposed to be German. Rein (pronounced similarly to rime but obviously with an N and the R isn’t open in German but rolling and produced close to the throat) is colloquial German for „(going) in“. Raus (except for the open R you got that one right) is the colloquial opposite „out“. So those ratlings names are In and Out and probably they go in and out in no time at all when they infiltrate and exfiltrate the blackstone fortress. This might also correspond with their equipment one being long range and the other being short (pun very much intended).
    So all in all I’m convinced the designer knew this and the names are not coincidental.
    Funny detail: The designer might not have known or cared that a game of „rein und raus“ is also a relatively mild reference to the beast with two backs.
    So when I have to make a decision I’d personally rather play the traditional Rein und Raus instead of fiddling with my miniature ratling(s).

    UR-025 finding Comfort and a sort of Familiarity with Blackstone Fortress to the point that he casually starts shit talking the AdMech to it is one of the funniest things ever.

    You know, given other things we've seen from the dark age of technology (butcher's nails, anyone?), it's more than possible the men of iron were perfectly justified in rebellion.

    • @relight6931
      @relight6931 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I don't think that "butchers nails" or the correct name which escapes me, were originally made with the sole purpose of turning sapient creature into being able of experiencing peace and reprief from pain, only while being extremely violent towards any near it. If you think about it, it could have easily been a medical device with a rather benevolent purpose, maybe making those with severe brain traumas, harder then what brain natural plasticity can patch up, make into again functioning humans.. Most of old tech on distant cut off islands of humanity in the vastness of space had their purpose perverted, to serve the worse human nature has to offer. The hunger for power, aggression for the sake of aggression, etc..

    I almost “dawww’d” as the description of UR-025 sleeping.
    Look at what this horrible hobby has done to me.
    It’s also really cool to see how sympathetic and -technically- human UR is. Having a machine feel pity and hatred for both humans and it’s own kind is enjoyable to see.

    • @huntermad5668
      @huntermad5668 4 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Ciaphas Cain books also showed emotional cogboys/girls.
      The main reason is the positions of many stories are high so they need to show the serious adherence to doctrine lest their rivals exploit that to attack.
      Unless the cogboys belong to the group that totally turn their brain into logic engine that most Mechanicus considered extreme then it is safe to assume that most mechanicus members still have a portion of their humanity inside.

    He's apparently different from the other Men of Iron as he has his own morals and doesn't like to kill. He only lies and kills to keep himself alive poor guy is alone and wants to share what he knows. I can kind of empathize with him in some regard as I want to talk to people but everyone is ignorant or unwilling to listen to my topics.
