And we dont know that we are a lost portion of mankind. We think that we are all alone in this massive galaxy. A massive world wide war errupts and all of earths greatest armies are defeated. (Us marines, royal marines, us army, ect....) now as a surviving member of the chaotic blood bath of a war. What do you do? You have the option to join a sect of the imperial guard, if youre still young enough and theyre taking initiates do you join a space marine chapter.... or do you fight to the death, claiming jesus christ as your lord savior? ( just an example use whatever religion you are and think about it that way)

Now say you do join a sect. Are you mentally prepared for the atrocities and horror of the grim world of 40k?

I'd rather not sign up but i imagine if they were recruiting i'd have no choice...

Sign up with the IG and become cannon fodder at some distant world?

Get recruited by the astartes and if by some chance you survive the 95% chance of dying in the trials to become an initiate, go on to several lifetimes of fighting just to die in battle somewhere or get yourself stuck inside a metal case with arms and legs then die at some future battle?

Think i'll just stay in my basement's basement till recruitments over

Lol^

Id have been killed in the initial defence from the invasion.

Lol me too, more likely. But i would take some punkass ig down with me

Join the Mechanicus. Blessed be the Omnissiah!

Me, administratum.

Me. Noble Lord

Just missed the Astartes, so it's death in the name of Christ for me. Can you say Martyrdom? You know it.

They send the priests to alter your religion so you will happily die for your God-Emperor....

So I'd say go challenge them to a game and see what happens.... if they identify the models of your army...

( I still believe we would just join them, if they agree to feed our politicians to the warp that is...)

To go down fighting. Hopefully go toe to toe with a space marine. That way I'm dead before I know whats happening . The only problem would be my family, of course. Perhaps being vaporized in the blink of an eye via lance strike would be preferable to life in the imperium.

Can we assume that we are all pariahs, since psykers don't exist on earth?

On the other hand, earth has some pretty scenic environments. Maybe we could get classified as some sort of resort planet. A place for the Lords of Terra to go kick back and relax. Not the worst thing that could happen.

If were all Pariahs, the Inquisition will step in. They will convert us and turn as into a military force. As Pariahs are the Imperium rarest resource and one of their greatest if not best weapon against chaos.
Imagine a space marine chapter of nothing but pariahs, they might even put the grey knights to shame when fighting daemons. Also Pariahs are the rarest of the temple assassins (due to the low number). So we would be able to increase their ranks.

Wouldn't they just chop us all up and use us for psycannon rounds material?

No, Psycannon rounds use psychic energy from grey knights, the ever things we would negate if we are soulless.

Just to poitn out you mean "Nulls", not "Pariahs". Pariahs were a necron unit made from Nulls.

Would the imperial fleet approach a planet filled with psychic blanks?
Maybe the navigators wouldn't steer them to us in this case...

Pariahs is also a term that can be used for humans. As humans have something called a Pariah gene.

I believe warp travel only allows you to enter the edge of the solar system, after that you have to get to the planets the old fashion way, though I could be wrong.

I think from the perspective of the new fluff you are correct (although even then you may be thinking of Psilencer cannon, not Psycannons). Iirc, in the old deamon hunter fluff Psycannon rounds were anti warp bolts (hence the fact that they ignored invulnerable saves. Most deamons have only an invo save) and were anointed with pariah....juice? gooey remains? and sacred oils etc.

I will quote the new Daemon Hunter Codex for Psybolt Ammunition: "Psybolts are silver-tipped, psychically charged shells, used in storm bolters and similar weapons. When fired, each bolt becomes imbued with a portion of the Grey Knight's innate psychic power, causing it to glow with an eerie blue light, and strike home with significantly greater force then an ordinary round of its type."

Sweet, although its not the new Deamon Hunter codex, it's Codex: Grey Knights. Just nitpicking.

Frak Earth, where do I sign up for the Guard, if you cant beat them join them.

None of the people in this thread are joining anything else but the Penal legions. First of all, Earth is not 'invaded', it is rightfully returned to Emperor's Grace. Talk by some people about fighting against Imperial forces undertaking this glorious reunion is nothing but treason, and as for the rest, open demonstration of distinct lack of enthusiasm for honourable service in Imperial Guard is almost as bad as treason.

I, for one, welcome our glorious overlord and will be amongst the first to sign up in Planetary Defence Force, as soon as Imperial administration sets one up.

I'd join a space marine chapter, I'm pretty young still, If you either join the current or get destroyed by it,you join the current.

As for a none psychic army, black templars fit the role.. I think

But if they ever did attack it wouldn't matter. We will be utterly defeated and left with no choice of our own. Might even slowly go extinct as they will likely mix off worlders with ours.

Become a remembrancer and see the stars. It would be awesome!

Id like to become a space marine if possible. Yeah chances are slim but if the earth was annhialated in a war i wouldnt have much left

I'll just be realistic. Welcome the whips as I get to toil in the bowels of some vast spaceship as a slave, never seeing the farflung spaces I travel to, and eventually dying by being overworked or a failed gellerfield.. Because honestly, we are fethed.

Who is invading us?
Space MArines? Dead
Grey Knights? dead
SOB? Dead, but with a smile our face
IG? We have a chance. We could probably nuke their ships while they are in orbit.
We earth humans are nothing if not crazy.

What? IoM is coming? We have to join? Is chaos still taking applications? Please let them be accepting new members >__<

Join anything you want? I'll go for the Stormtroopers regiment.

It means we have no presence in the warp. as in no soul, any psyker or deamon near us is rendered useless.

Welcome our new overlords as the Spiritual is proven real, all other religions are proved wrong and ground to dust.

Praise be to the Omnisaiah...wait that's not how it's spelled? *blam*

I'd be chill with a job at the Arbites, or even a Inquisitor in training.

Most likely, I'd be a PDF member, or just a merchant or teacher.

Well, it'd be quite a shock to discover that OUR Terra isn't the real Terra... Umm, not to mention the massive fleet of starships patrolling just beyond our atmosphere.

Once I changed my shorts, I'd answer the clarion call to serve the Emperor most assuredly. Well packed with additional sets of shorts as I'm sure I'd be needing a new pair quite often as my sense of reality is completely torn apart. Er, after discovering not only these things, that my concept of material reality is fundamentally wrong with the addition of the warp I'd...

Ah crap I'd just shoot myself after realizing that my whole existence is predicated upon the abilities of Black Library authors...

If we're folded in peacefully, nothing changes. We don't have xenos, or mutants, just animals and what-not. Send a tithe, make an Aquila sign once or twice a day, we're all good.

Pariahs are humans who are born without a soul. They have no psychic presences which causes them to negate the warp. Daemons and psykers will have a much harder time using their powers while a Pariah is near them or even maintaining themselves in real space. Pariahs will also be immune to psychic powers to a certain degree. Pariahs will also do crazy things to nids and orks. Ork weapons will start jamming and their vehicles may stop working as the Pariah cancels out their psychic powers that causes these technology to work and they will block out the Tyranid synpase.

In the end we are to valuable of weapon/resource to be destroyed. The Inquisition would probably keep our home planet a secret and come every so often to recruit like a billion of us and let the rest of us repopulate while working under Imperial Rule.

There is a horus heresy short story just like this where there is a planet that thinks it's "terra" and they have an emperor and all that jazz.

It does not end well for them.

Automatically Appended Next Post:

Necrosis wrote:Pariahs are humans who are born without a soul.

Technically speaking, you refer to Blanks.

Pariahs generally refer to the Necron construct, which turns a Blank human in to a living weapon.

Also, Blanks DO have a soul. It's a "negative" soul as it were. The scale of psychic powers goes from Blank to Dull (normal human) to Psyker, essentially. I'll go look it up and post it in a moment.

I'd stare down the head of the Imperial Forces facing us and say something along the lines of this:

"You fools. You know not what powers you meddle with. We will unleash upon you Humanity's greatest weapon, a man so brilliant he can turn Grey Knights to Khorne, who can have Blood Angels and Necrons fight side by side, who could make your entire fleet disappear with the stroke of a pen. His name is Matt Ward, and... Oh, you're Ultramarines. Never mind then, I'm sure he'll want to greet you personally and tell you how awesome you are.

Never-mind that whole speech about your destruction and all that, and would I be young enough to qualify to join the Astartes, my lord?"

Omega-Minus
-- Culexis Assassin level blank. These are capable of willingly weaponizing their Blank souls essentially as an anti-psyker.

Omega
-- Proper Blanks. Their souls manifest as a small region of "blankness" (thus the term) surrounding the individual, and no psychic powers or warp creatures can penetrate this space. Warp creatures already in realspace have an extremely difficult time maintaining their manifestations around them. This unfortunately also has an impact on other humans, making them have an irrational fear or loathing of the blank.*

Psi / Chi / Phi / Upsilon
-- Increasing levels of immunity or resistance to psychic powers, with Psi being almost a Blank, and Upsilon being almost normal.

Tau / Sigma
-- Not related to the Tau race, although the description of their souls makes them generally within this range. These individuals are insensitive to the warp and its manifestations, but have no particular resistance and are otherwise normal.

Rho / Pi
-- Normal human being.

Omicron / Xi / Nu / Mu / Lambda / Kappa
-- Increasing levels of psychic power, but none of them are actually consciously activating their powers. They oftentimes show up as being particularly lucky, or having particular strength in high stress situations, or simply having a set of fluke occurrences that keep them alive.

Iota / Theta / Eta
-- Conscious psychic powers, moderate power strength, etc. the weakest of true psykers are here, although some of the weaker ones (such as Lambda and Kappa) may be able to train themselves up to this level.

Zeta / Epsilon
-- A high level of psychic power, this requires much more attention from the Imperial authorities.

Delta / Gamma
-- One in a billion human births might give one of these powerful individuals. Death or possession is the most common route for them unless they are discovered immediately.

Beta / Alpha
-- The most powerful mortal psykers, and oftentimes killed on sight. The Imperium does not believe that Mankind is ready for this kind of psychic power. The ones that are allowed to live are mentally unstable at best.

Alpha-Plus
-- Be afraid. Be very afraid.


*I should write a story about a Blank being inspired to become a Batman style character.

Outside of him, there are not too many Alpha plus pskyers in the human realm fluff, the last concentration of high level psykers were the pre-heresy Thousand sons, but even then they only had 2-3 Alpha Plus.

Now we just need to lure the IoM into a ground engagement on Asian soil, against Sicilians. If we gave the Sicilians laser pointers and flashlights, and cardboard armour, we could have our own IG.

It's too bad that the OP said that our equivalent of the PDF was killed to a man.

Tigirius has long talks with the Hivemind, and is arguably the most powerful psyker in the Space Marines (if not Imperium).

At least, thats what his fluff says.

IIRC the guys who pilot titans are chosen from the best across the entire Imperium, so your odds of becoming a titan pilot are low to say the least. As for myself, if our Guard regiment was any good I would join, if we were a crappy generic regiment then I would do some boring administrative work for the administratum.

Nah, we'd all be conscripted into the guard probably. As if we have a choice.

Id lube myself up and throw myself at the sisters of battle.

start a gurilla war, aint no one taking my god damn planet!

Ok what to do do i

throw away the freedoms, history and teachings of this world and surrender myself to the iom which isaiming to send me to a far flung region of the galaxy to face death far from home (because most we could expect is being sent to the guard for tithe)

Or

do i stand and fight for my freedom and die against a superior enemy (as the saying goings die on my feet then live on my knees)

Hmmm......do i get to drive a baneblade or bigger lol

Sue them.

Join the administratum if possible. Try and rise through the ranks and attempt to take out the Imperium from within.

Something along the lines of Claus von Stauffenberg in Germany, or Colonel Mustang from Fullmetal Alchemist. Although, with a bit less violence.

I'd probably attempt to build up a cell of co-conspirators, then ask to be transferred to a different department, or volunteer to be transferred. Then over time build up a cell of co-conspirators there. I would repeat this over a decade until I had around 5-6 cells.

In the meantime my 5-6 cells composing between 3 and 4 people would go out and develop their own cells, corrupting the whole civil service and Administratum on Earth.

I have no chance of overthrowing the Imperium, but I could corrupt the Administratum so that Earth is given a better deal than most other planets. We could use the wide corruption to change the amount sent on military drafts, make lives better for the Terrans, and generally get us the best possible deal.

In the end we might be able to have an Earth with no internal wars, only a minimal draft/resource payment, and protection from the Imperium.

This could actually work out to our benefit. =D

Stick my head in the sand.

QFT

Inspire to be a Commissar.. Die trying.

Earth chapter of astartes lol that would be interesting, us of dakka dakka the most suited for such a honorable task.
Descendent chapter of Ultramarines. Cuz why not? Need gene-seed from somebody lol.
I'll take the 99% fatal attempt to become a space marine.. Death seems to be the only outcome here I rather just attempt to be a Demi-god if I have the choice.

I would probably try to get one of the invading Space Marines into a GWS.
Does this mean that the fluff writers are all latent psykers?

I would join as Guardsmen or Space Marine.

Our race is facing danger from all sides and it is our duty to oppose those threats and destroy them.

So, Who here would join chaos?

Well being in the Marines I would probably die in the attack.
Due to our advanced military's world wide I wouldn't b surprised if they sent the space marines in to defeat us. I think as soon as our planet surrendered most of what was left of our military would be inducted as the 1st Sol SOG. I could see earth being training grounds for Storm troopers\ commissars\sisters of battle . I forgot what they called those schools so sorry about that. The imperium would have a lot to learn from us military wise because the depth of the imperiums tactics is pretty much "clog the enemy's' gun muzzles with your flesh" we would probably become another Cadia minus a certain eye of terror.

I doubt that we would actually fight tbh.

i would be a chaplain for the salamanders and if not i could be a tech marine

How dare you refuse the god-emporers gift of death in glorious battle

unto the anvil of war brothers, with the emporers glory on our lips and the fire of vulken in our breast

Since I already bear the Mark of Chaos, I'm pretty sure my life would be both short and extremely unpleasant.
