Battery powered psychic powers?

And I thought I'd mention my friend is also making a 40k army too. Base line, lizard men 40k. Who doesn't like lizard men? And it's actually decent. He hasn't told me much, but 'll pass on new news.

Slaan were in the older editions of 40K, it's not really original considering the creators of most life in 40k were called the Old Ones.

It's not electrical energy ir chemical obviously, more... Let's say atomic. More atomic. But I did give it a new name. Sub-energy. Very rare and hard to get, even harder to use, but very potent if used correctly. If you happen to mess up, well...

Oh yeah... Old ones were reptilian, weren't they?
Ah well. It seemed a nice idea. I'd be willing to play against them. I gave him the list of question Demetri gave me, so at least he can work on those.

He might as well just play a Slann army, they are quite a cool race.

‘Hey, I hope you don't mind that I'm using a first ed army‘

So it's just battery powered Psykers?

Guess the Eldar use Duracell Ultra.

I mean as count as.

I really have no idea how a 1st edition army would work in 6th....

Lol. Ok, more seriously, obviously the Lynx use their own energy to fuel their psychic powers. However, them being such potent psykers, and the fact they use them unconsciously all the time would mean they'd burn themselves out after a short while. So, this silver does three things:
It is used as a supply of energy that can keep a Lynx alive. As it's got a very energy capacity, it will easily last several months before needing a recharge (these are the personal implants).
Also contains Cleovara, the deity. She isn't a proper Goddess, due to the fact she was not born of the Warp. Instead, like I said earlier, she was born of the collective "souls" of the Lynx race.
It looks nice. And it grows back, through a process of the energy inside "decaying" into matter.

Wait, that makes no sense. Psykers use the warp. They can't be psykers if they are powering themselves can they? The very fact that they power their own psychic energies means that they are immune to the Perils of the Warp, right?

Messed that part up.
So psykers use energy gleaned from the Warp. However, they can't get this energy fast enough due to the "leash" put on them by Cleovara. It inhibits how much energy they can take at any given time. So, they use these silvite "batteries" to compensate.

Latent psychic powers (Orks) don't draw their power from the Warp.

Good point. However, I would prefer these guys sticking to battery power and Warp energy lol.

And I think I might give you guys some biography. Later. As a taster: they're Cleovara's greatest plan. She wants to destroy the Chaos Gods, send them back into oblivion where the Galaxy can be plagued no more. She has harboured this dislike for many millennia, her dislike festering into hate, then loathing.

As a solution, she created 4 of what she named "Spirits", each attuned to a particular Chaos God. Each Spirit was designed to be a direct counter to the corresponding Chaos God, but left the host weak to that God's opposite. Hence, the host of the Life Spirit was incredibly powerful against the daemons of Nurgle, but left it weak to the predations of Tzeentch.

The 4 hosts currently make themselves little known, save for the most dire of circumstances where their help is required.

In B4 Sue Gods.

It won't happen.

The idea of destroying the Chaos Gods is far too much like the 3rd edition Necrons, but it doesn't make sense. since this good wants life which even when not corrupted is food to the Chaos Gods. It requires the death of all life that are psykers, including your race.

Especially his race, seeing as it's so super psychic.

Not actually killing them. As far as I understand it, you can "shatter" a God's consciousness, seeing how Khaine was splintered apart. Obviously the 4 are nowhere near strong enough to overpower a God (a rather naive idea in its own), that's what Cleovara wants. To make sure the Big 4 can't interfere with what she has planned with the Galaxy. Of course, it's going to take an incredibly long time, and pretty much the backing of at least 3 other races working as a whole to even come close to being able to break the Big 4,

You can use these Characters in game, but they're at least 600 points each and can only be fielded in 2000+ point games, to represent the Lynx's need for them. And you can only ever have 2 at a time, to prevent complete Mary Sue annihilation. Sure these characters are powerful, but having 4 is just plain unfair. They'd break a Warhound pretty quickly as a 4.

The Eldar Gods are completely diffirent to the Chaos Gods, your concept is flawed. Cleovara herself, serves chaos in her quest for destruction.

Back to the drawing board.

Your idea also reeks of Mary Sue.

I can just have them anti-daemonic instead.
I still don't get the Chaos Gods in their entirety. They're really hard to get my head round. As far as I understand it, ta Chaos God is generally an entity born of the Warp. It forms through an abundance of a particular emotion, say suffering in Slaanesh's case. Through this power, the entity becomes sentient and is able to think much like a human could (I could use any example here, but humans seem the best comparison). Gods can siphon off a tiny part of their consciousness to create a Daemon, a lesser Warp entity. They can come in different shapes, sizes and power spectrums, but mostly they are comparatively weak.

This is as much as I understand. Am I almost correct? I need a second opinion.

And what are the differences between an Eldar and a Chaos God? Any things in particular?

Ok, Blood, I'll go back a few steps. It was a stupid idea in the first place. The Goddess is still involved, though. Don't count that out.

Cut the anti-Chaos theme, it's been used by another two codex's of psykers (Eldar&Grey Knghts). It's boring and altogether poorly thought out, thought I'd suggest going right back to the start, because, these are just Eldar.

Shall I refer back to that exceedingly long boring post about the comparisons again?

You mean the one that showed you obviously didn't understand what I meant by copy of Eldar?

Fully Psychic Race
God
Hates Chaos
Odd allies with others (hard to explain)
Webway
Uses psychic trinkets


Their basis shares far too many similarities to that of the Eldar.

Correction.
Eldar.
Fully psychic
Gods
Hates chaos
Webway
Use psychic trinkets.
Lynx.
Half psychic race.
God
Hates Chaos
No Webway of their own.
Use implants made of silvite.
Differences? Quite a few.
Next time you post, take itno full consideration the extent of how this race has changed in the past week.

Half psychic, it's still a massive amount of the race, they still use the web-way, the implants are psychic trinkets.

So no real differences?

Under half, to be more exact. More like 2/5.

Look, mate. We will go round this all week, and I'll still be adamant that the changes are sufficient to make the race different to the Eldar as to not become a counts as.

Just to back go the start, please, the current state of the race is just a bad mix of Tau, Imperials, Eldar and Thunder Cats.

No. A firm and unyielding no.
