Just one of those "what if you could" kinda questions, so if you could have any one piece of real Warhammer 40k tech, be it a Bolter, Familiar, Power Armor, what would it be and why?

My personal choice is for a Frost Axe, not any Frost Axe though, my alter-ego's Frost Axe, the Kraken Toothed Chain Axe Frosthowl, An axe passed down through the centuries, embodying the strength of every Space Wolf who ever held it and baring a particularly temperamental Machine Spirit that makes it choosy of whom can wield it, empowering the righteous and just (regardless if they are human or not), and barring the wicked and damned from wielding it, tripling in weight and even biting back should they persist.

So, what would you all choose? I think for the sake of this thread that all components of armor, including the helmet would be considered "one piece"...

I would enjoy giving all of my Guardsmen Terminator Armor, but I think it might create balance issues...

An imperator titan, of course.
I guess it doesn't come with the crew, though, does it?
In that case, a suit of terminator armor would be cool.
Then again... those drugs that let you change your appearance would be awesome.

Azrael's helmet bearer. It would be like an awesome little pet.

If it counts I would take a Niphlim because jets are cool and Niphlims are cooler. Say hello to the best we got, terrorists.

If I had to pick something in real life, it would probably be a jump pack. Imagine never having to sit in traffic ever again, glorious.

I'd pick a Leman Russ, even without a crew from the 41st Millenium, only because such a simple, reliable vehicle should be easy to learn how to operate.

Especially the Phaeton pattern.

i would probably take one of those fancy power armour suits like inquisitors can have..... it has built in powerfists too still counts as one piece though

Wraithknight and spirit stone. Now I would just need a really good estates lawyer... Humanity welcome your new overlord!

A suit of Space Marine power armour with a jump pack, power armour alone is cool, but this set can fly (usable by me of course )

Now that's using your noggin.

Id like some flavor of eldar/dark jet bike so i can zoom around town.

otherwise a tesseract labyrinth. there are some people id like to get rid of

GIve me titan. Give me titan now.

i'll take a squig please. extra big teeth for munching on the annoying yappy dog next door.

"Spok'n liek a tru boy."

The Book of Lorgar. Nothing larger than that tome is required to seize the universe!

A Harlequin's Kiss. Such a nasty, nasty weapon.

A hellgun, with the old infinite or close to amount of shots.

A techmarine's armour with a full servo harness. Techy as feth, and I have a variety of ways to deal with annoying pests...

Phantom Titan - only requires a single crew. Of course, it requires a psychic Eldar crew, so, probably no good for me.

Which probably rules out all of the Eldar/Dark Eldar stuff...

Riptide Battlsuit, maybe? Although, even it's best weapons can only go, what, a couple of hundred metres at best? Hardly "Humanity's New Overlord" material... Even the Titans don't exactly have long range weaponry by modern standards. Annnnd we DO have a *lot* of nukes lying around.

Hmmm.

A Wraithlord actually, would be kinda neat. Especially if I could tell it what to do. However, the original question doesn't really state that I would have any sort of unusual control over the object, so probably something a little more handheld...

Illic's rifle? Go Postal and watch people get sucked into Chaos could be good for a few kicks...

Hmmm... Yeah the thing is... Any SM/CSM weapon is likely going to be impossible to actually wield, since it will be designed for use by a mega power armoured guy. Eldar/Dark Eldar would be psychically controlled so no good there. Tau is likely to be fairly usable (but good luck reading the manual) PLUS the controls are going to be set up for some pretty weirdly shaped hands. Necron, probably the highest tech you could actually use, but again, robot bodies means super strength so good luck lugging a gauss rifle around. Ork stuff would probably be OK but geezus, would you trust it not to just blow up in your face? Have fun with the crazy psychic demon weapons, or semi-sentient gooey Tyranid stuff... So we're basically left with Guard stuff, right? Which is not in any significant way better than current technology, really, in fact, significantly worse in terms of range than just about anything.

I guess a Baneblade would be fun.

I think I'd enjoy punching things with a power fist quite a lot!

I'd have to go with a Tau battlesuit. Flying around in one of those would be awesome.

Can i have a riptide?
No, A wraitknight, I doupt humans have anything that can kill that.
The world would fear me in that when i become its new ruler.

A good supply of polymorpine.

I would be all for a Riptide. Would make the commute a hell of a lot more fun. But I'd have to figure out how I'd get my 40k stuff/groceries/ect back and forth. And where I would park.

But then come the problem where people would freak out seeing you fly around in that thing. I remember it took my dad like 3 months to get his Concealed weapon permit. I'm not even sure what you'd have to go through to make that thing street legal. Then after all that, there's still the chance the military would gak themselves when I go by, considering I live pretty close to a few bases.

And I wouldn't even have the first clue on how to fix that thing if it ever got damaged. Anyone in a Riptide would probably be welcomed with open arms by the military, as long as they were an ally. So I would probably be using it in some sort of military combat before the year was over. Odds are someone would have developed some way to damage it by then, and that's only assuming it's immune to current weapon technology.

I'm not so sure I dig the idea of owning a Riptide now. Sounds like way too much work. I'll settle for a Tau Drone. That could be fun.

Good luck reading that tauaneese

A Lasgun. Simple to maintain, nigh infinite, powerful as hell (By our standards, looks too goofy to look like a real gun and easy to shoot straight. Perfect to go hunting with... or to take out a small army. Now if only I could get fully enclosed carapace too...

I'm gonna go right ahead and say that a Riptide or a Wraithknight would *not* be immune to current technology. How many times can you pass your invul when I just keep throwing nukes at you, eh?

Build ANYTHING you want from anything you find.

A humble Arvus Lighter.

VTOL, not much larger than a van so you can park it just anywhere, you don't need to be an alien or a surgically enhanced transhuman to fly it and has plenty of room for friends and family inside.

It's kinda like a Cessna, if Cessnas were able to reach Low Earth Orbit. I'm definitely taking it.

It takes 6 nukes to put down a wraithknight not in cover and since your first nuke will create ruins I get a 4+ cover save. So let's say 11 nukes. Not counting the smoke possibly giving me stealth or shrouded.

Keep in mind though these jet troops move pretty fast by today's standards also nukes are S10 (they are in the guard codex btw)

Or'es El'leath Class Battleship, Does not require a Pysker to go FTL. Use the ship (and all equipment on it) to further advance humanity into the star.

YEs, because they will nuke something 5 feet near their troops.

A guardsman's lasgun, because in "real life" they're far more powerful than a regular rifle, fairly accurate, and I can "reload it" by leaving the power pack near a campfire for a few hours. I'd never have to buy ammo again

Also, it's cool, easy to hide, won't immediately scream "come confiscate me" to the feds like a Sentinel parked in my back yard would, and it's just cool. Plus, unlike a lot of stuff here, it's simple to use and work on, and is actually designed to be used by a regular person.

Or this. This sounds awesome.

Realistically probably a lasgun or a personal teleporter, since a lasgun is easily portable, has various power settings, you can recharge the ammo just by exposing it to sunlight/heat source and above all is incredibly durable. The personal teleporter is also practical in the sense that it bypasses conventional physics and gravity altogether and assuming I can use it properly I can *poof!* out of those awkward conversations, avoid traffic as well as potentially get away with certain "illegal" actions should the situation demand it.

In terms of just plain old good fun it would be interesting to try and use the Shokk Attack Gun as a sort of vacuum cleaner in the house with me sending dust bunnies and all other sorts of trash directly into my neighbor's house. Heck I might even hear an explosion of gore when I accidentally suck my models with it and transport it into any nearby pedestrian's heads!

I am curious, why a lasgun over a hellgun or a hotshot with packs?

You lose a bit of range to gain a meaner punch, the hotshot packs at least can be reloaded over a fire like the normal laspack.

Baneblade.

Why? Bacause traffic when your inside a house sized tank is merely a speed bump.

A daemonette.

As far as I remember hotshot lasguns are harder to produce due to extra parts like gyro-stabilizers and thermo-cooling packs and therefore by extension are harder to maintain; emphasis on the maintain part since I believe it is because the hotshot packs end up wearing out the barrels more from the higher output of firepower they bring meaning that in the long-term (which fast-hitting elites like stormtroopers don't have to worry too much about especially with their knowledge of how to fix up their hotshot lasguns) they would be more prone to needing repair or at least have less consistency in terms of use compared to the conventional lasgun. That plus their packs are harder to recharge due to their heavier-duty nature. At least that's my take on it.

A Reaver jetbike, no license, well, they can't fine you if they can't catch you

Hotshot lasguns are immensely heavier, bulkier, require a massive powerpack system, and are very complicated. There's a reason you see those big ol cables sticking out of it leading to the stormtrooper's back. If I remember right, they require a lot of specialized training to use as well. Plus, what are you going to run into these days that a hotshot lasgun would destroy that a regular one wouldn't?

Whereas a lasgun I could use to pound in tentstakes, club a bear to death, or use as a support beam for a tent. It's smaller (some, like the Elysian model, are MUCH smaller) has far less parts (a few powerpacks and the rifle are all you need) it's lighter, and would be easier for me to use. They're designed for illiterate dirt farmers to use, I'm pretty sure I can keep it in decent shape.

Considering you would just get the item, and there's probably not going to be a big market for replacement parts, the less parts it has to break on it, the longer it will last.

It's like if you told me I can have an AK 47 or an early M16. I'd pick the AK, even if it's a lower quality weapon, because I know it'll stand up to far more abuse and is less likely to break in a way that I couldn't fix.

Now that I think about it, a laspistol would be pretty cool too...

How about a spirit stone?

Getting to be taken to a second world after I die? Yes please

A phase shifter could be nice as well being able to exist but not exist could make for some fun shenanigans.

A Dreadknight suit could be fun as an overlord suit. Just don't run out of gas

I wouldn't mind an Oldcron Wraith, assuming I used biotransferance to activate it. heh.

That said, the Arvus would be pretty cool too - I'd have gone for an Aquila personally, although that's because my instinct is to go for the prettier plane rather than the more practical. ^^;

That said, the number of times I've thought about how awesome it would be to pull a jetbike out of a capsule and just zoom off rather than walking... heh.

Of all the Tau gear, I think a stealth suit or a kor'vesa would be the most attractive option. Piranhas look fun, but I'd crash it in short order.

What I really want, though? Really, absolutely, no doubt about it? Mechandendrites.

You guys can try to become Overlords using force, I'll just use these bad boys. And if someone pisses me off, "Stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself"

Terminator armour for me... because by default, it comes with the power fist too.
Failing that, to those that have mentioned jump packs, that'd be cool and all but the jumps do of course have their limits and you'd cause minor collateral damage with each landing. Practically, Swooping Hawk wings are much better.

If it came with the same recognition as it does in the 41st millennium, I would have an inquisitorial rosette.

Otherwise, an armoured force chair like the one Inquisitor Ravenor uses, supposing I would be able to operate it.

1. Full set of Rejuvenat drugs
2. Analyse and Replicate
3. ?????
4. PROFIT!

Either artificer armor with easy rechargability and a "how to" guide for repairs or a vial full of ork spores depending on how spiteful I feel today.

XV9 Hazzard suit all day long, or Farsights new suit, would just be awesome. No more getting then train to work for me!

What's with all these people wanting weapons? You can only get so far with a gun, even an awesome gun that shoots through tank armor like butter.

I want whatever keeps Anvil Thawn or Celestine popping back up every time they die. Or maybe one of those Vats the DE use to regenerate folks from just a bit of finger or whatever.... though I prefer Thawn and his non torturing folks version of immortality.

I imagine they'd still be fun to take out on the range. Personally though, for my armour, I wouldn't want to enact a coup or anything silly. I'd just take it to cons and the like, and maaaaybe do some small contractor work for demolition sites. ...ooh, or safely working within nuclear reactors! That'd be fun.

I would take a suit of XV8-02 Crisis "Iridium" armor with equipped fusion blaster, plasma rifle, and shield generator.

I think i'd take Primarch phisiology, with some beast armour like Fulgrim's or Sanguinius'

that'll be all thanks

That's why I want some sweet power armor. It's more useful for day to day life and it provides passive protection.

You are forgetting that nukes have the instant death rule, and ignore cover. (-:

Deathstrike missiles are not nukes, they have plasma warheads.

As for what I would take, a displacer field could be fun. I would be more confident crossing busy roads. A hand held auspex would be pretty nice. Actually, there are very few things that you could have that wouldn't cause you to be shot or have it stolen. If I were to have a vehicle, it would be one of the airships from The Guns of Tanith. I could fly it around the world, hiring it out for corporate events and such. Would be a nice little money earner.

Just the riptide's nova reactor, not even the riptide itself, near limitless, clean energy.
And it would all be mine.
Mwahahahaha!

I'm surprised no ones said anything about this, but what about spaceships? It'd be much easier to rule the world from up in space with exterminatus just a button away

I think Id take Living Metal
Yeah.. you might have to sacrifice part of your soul and lose your mind completely over the course of millions of years..
but you pretty much never die,
And in a few million years I wouldnt care anymore...

Nightshield on my car!

Fully functional STC device. Then I'd just make all the goodies the Imperium of Man has.

Practically, a digi weapon. Nobody is like to kill you to get your stuff if it's discrete.

Otherwise, terminator armor.

The best Tau Earth caste engineer, as a personal consultant

May take a bit to learn to communicate, but after that...look out Microsoft..AI's anyone


The the rise of the machines...somebody has to jumpstart the grimdark.

The Emperor's continent sized pimp ship or barring that an imperator titan

Land Speeder Tempest would be absolutely awesome! A little one man attack craft with a giant minigun strapped to the front of it, what more can you ask? And it travels so, so fast.. :')

DeffKopta for the win!

Fast, turbo-boosts, loud and has twin linked rockets! Its essentially a flying motorcycle with rockets!

The Eternal Crusader. A relic Battle-barge with countless relics, the records of the entire existence of the Black Templars and part of their armoury on-board? Yes please! Imagine the amount of technology; the power generators alone would thrust humanity into a golden age if we could reverse-engineer them.

This is how Planet of the Apes started.

My first thought is a set of the powered armor they give to Inquisitors and sisters of battle (i.e. the kind that you don't have to be a space marine to use). Preferably one of the relic suits with a weapon attached so I can have some offense.

But I'm sure there's more awesome stuff out there if I wanted to think hard enough. If we could just get a hold on enough 40k tech we could totally jumpstart human technology by a few generations.

A space marine battle barge of my own mary sue chapter which has all vehicles completely autonomous and can be controlled by the thoughts of a single person even if they are not a psyker, and my death through unnatural causes creates a nuclear explosion 100 times more powerful than a supernova.
Why? This is a universe where homemade fluff is good to work with. I can create whatever I like. And world domination is fun.

Ruling the world wouldn't be nearly as fun as people expect, just think of all the paperwork involved! Plus, look where it got the Emperor...

Nah, no weapons for me, I'll take some good old fashioned convenience. Give me an Eldar jet bike or a set of Swooping Hawk wings and I'll be set. I'd like a Warp Spider jump pack over the wings, but then I thought about it and I'd rather not risk getting lost in the Warp.

I'd totally be down for the new crisis commander suit (without being stuck in a stupid pose its actually pretty sweet!) with all interchangeable fixins!

Actually.....probably either a stealth suit or even shadowsun's. With all the interchangeable crisis fixins!

Either would be sick as long as i never had to maintain it lol

I want to personally get a suit of power armour, a bolt pistol and a chainsword. Then I want to go back in time to 480 BCE to the Battle of Thermopylae where I shall help the 300 Spartans and the other 1200 Greeks against the Persians single-handedly. After making mince meat out of the Persians I shall be revered as a god by the Greeks and temples will be built for me through the Mediterranean. Then when I am revising for my Classics GCSE Sparta exam, I will read about a mystical warrior that dropped from the sky and took out 100,000 - 200,000 thousands with a sword that shrieked like Scylla and a projectile weapon that screamed like Ares. This will bring a smile to my face...

Scroll up to the first comment of the 2nd page :/.. FTL that requires NO psyker. and does not require us to enter the realm of -Insert Slaanesh action here-

I would want a landspeeder. Why? It's not actually for the day-to-day utility - it's for the technology it contains.

Today it's exceptionally hard to get into orbit - but if it was possible to replicate the anti-gravity generator this would massively kick-start the exploration of space. The fundamental insights into physics this would provide would also have the potential to change the world beyond all recognition.

Am I the only one who's not just thinking of themselves, or looking at the utility of an item in terms of its technology rather than its utility? Perhaps I'm over-thinking this then

A ork battlefortress to dominate the world with.

A servo skull as my personal assistant.

The guy who wanted the space marine battle barge just so we could break it down and reverse engineer evrey bit of 40k tech is probably the most sensable person here honestly.

Although an eldar jetbike would be amazingly fun.

Norn Queen progenitor sac surgically attached to my body. I am roughly 85% sure I become the Hive Mind at that point. After all, what can't I solve at that point?

The Golden Throne.
It'll look great in my den, and I get to pull the false emperor's plug at the same time!

How about an Eldar Spirit Stone containing the spirit of a dead Eldar who will help and teach me how to tap into my own psyker potential? (assuming I have psyker potential of course). Not only would I be a psyker, but I could be taught to create wraithbone and how to build basically anything the Eldar have.

A Power Klaw

I'd say a Battlewagon or a Warbike, but without a connection to the Waaagh! they'd probably suck gasoline like hogs.

To continue on my earlier line of reasoning, why have all those other mundane items such as Power Armour or Boltguns when you could grab a Battle-barge and have them anyway, PLUS a whole lot of awesome for all of humanity? It makes no sense.

Lots of people live without their family, through death or absence. You can always make new friends and death is a part of our lives. Saying that a life without friends and family is a life not worth living is degrading to the people living in those situations. Besides, who didn't say that you couldn't become a progenitor of a family?
Anyway, I'd like a space marine backpack. Humble and essentially unlimited energy. "Donate" it to science and help benefit the whole world.

It's not living without your friends or family, it's the constant cycle of befriending new people and watching them die, over and over and over. It's a pretty common theme in fantasy settings with elves and other long-lived races avoiding relationships with shorter-lived ones. Just bringing up the point, not trying to start anything, sorry to offend.

Besides, who didn't say that you couldn't become a progenitor of a family?
Anyway, I'd like a space marine backpack. Humble and essentially unlimited energy. "Donate" it to science and help benefit the whole world.

I'm pretty sure Space Marines are sterile...

IIRC, they're not. They just don't have those urges. The junk is still there, and still works.

Power claw, I can smash things AND rip off faces

Psychic mastery level 4. Tons of possibilities there.

Let's see, if I get Terminator Armor (also including the TH/SS, for lulz), I am pretty much invincible against most modern day conventional weapons (including the SS). The TH means I can smash ALL THE THINGS and not care because I can tank that shell from the M1A2, and then use my hammer to crush it to bits.

NVM, I want terminator Armor.
I would be super hero

A gene-seed. (Assuming that implantation is included) I'd basically be the strongest man on earth, and I'd have a very nice, long lifespan to enjoy that fact.

Deathstrike missile launcher.



...what? It's an item!

the orbital defense net the salamanders have surounding their home planet. if you put the accenting in the right place i could use it to "defend" earths' orbit from earth..MUHAHAHAH

You realise that Eldar don't have any concept of cultural sexual dimorphism, right?

Some of those boob plates? Nothing inside the cups. Just making sure you're aware.

Female Dark Eldar love slave.

I DID wonder if male Exarch's did their run in Banshee's Shrines since they can have a banshee mask now I know

The guy who wanted the space marine battle barge just so we could break it down and reverse engineer evrey bit of 40k tech is probably the most sensable person here honestly.

Although an eldar jetbike would be amazingly fun.

The ability to reverse engineer something would require similar tech. A battle barge would be way to advanced for us (esp. when dealing with a gellar field and the warp engines that require psykers) to attempt to reverse engineer, the Tau battle ship while still really advance, would be easier for us to reverse engineer. and its ability for Faster than light travel would be understood better than, you need a psyker to and the emperor's golden throne to travel through the hell known as the Warp FTL.

Which is why I want one that is unbeatable. Controlled completely by my mind and explodes in a solar system destroying bang when I get killed, and just sits idly when I threten people to do stuff. None of this reverse engineer stuff. Nuclear deterant only works if the other side has none.

Um, that's called "Being there."

Can I have a flying hive tyrant pet, that won't eat me, and obeys only me?

Barring that.. hard choice... Do I go extra heretical with a Tau girl, or just a bit of heresy with a Sister of Battle?

you could do almost anything you put your mind to.

Yeah, but then you'd also have to outlive all your friends and family multiple times over, essentially being alone in the world. Immortality would actually suck.

Not to mention you'd have to be busting ass 24/7 to maintain that physiology in order to keep it functioning the way you describe.
On the up side, though, you could have a hell of a professional wrestling career!
