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?

Not that we know of... o_O

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.

Cause if were are all Pariahs the entire situations changes completely.

Not particularly...
They may try to convert us instead of killing most of the world but it wouldn't help us against them bombing the crap out of us...

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.

Alpha legion hacked into DakkaDakka and changed my message!

Convert to the Machine Cult, and join the Collegia Titanica. Maybe I'll get to pilot a Titan one day.

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.
