Subject: Re:What happened to the Thunder Warrior Blueprints?
Given the Kin of the Leagues of Votann are essentially designer Abhumans, tweaked to best fit by STC? There’s a tacit implication that other, if not all, Abhumans are the result of already extensive genetic tinkering.
I'm personally a fan of the kind-of-supported theory that DAoT humans did something to their genetics that made them much more adaptable to the various environments that they were encountering on purpose, which now leads to the variant strains of stable Abhumans, but also explains why mutation, both chaotic and mundane, is so rampant all over the Imperium. Humanity dialed their mutability to 11 on purpose, some got trapped in evolutionary/mutagenic niches, some had to learn the hard way that not all mutations are beneficial adaptations.
Agreed. It also fills the hole of how seemingly baseline humans are apparently capable of conducting war in all manner of conditions that we know from IRL they aren't.
