The main problem with quack medicine is that if it feels like it did something, humans think that's it -working-. If it burns or fizzles or makes you poo, if it does anything at all, humans can be fooled into thinking that's medicine. Laws about what is medicine must be tighter and more punitive

I think maybe you're imagining this lower than I am, I am imagining the platform on top of a mostly-complete trukk so it looks really wobbly and rickety

I feel like an aircraft carrier might need to be wider than a trukk base? but idk they can add weird supports and wheels where the flight deck outgrows the truck. Figure that's how they built it, realizing about halfway thru that the trukk won't support enough runway

Many are the virtues of the melta gun, but the Night Lords appreciate among them the psychological value of popping around a corner and turning the biggest, most heavily armored target into hot atoms. 1/3

I am not going to finish the ventrilokar tonight, but he'll be done tomorrow. His whole business is kind of silly. The astartes corpse here is hijacked by warp sorcery so if you feed it the flesh of somebody it can mimic their voice? Real roundabout way to do a thing you can do with a vox recorder
