Inspired by the What would you like to be in the 40k universe thread, the far more cynical, (Tada-wav)

What do you think you would be in the 40k universe?

You may pick what you think you would become if imperial, orkoid, eldar, whatevertakesyourfancy (don't we all think the whatevertakesyourfancy race is so cool!)


I'll just start of as example with what I think I'd became in ork society. Me being weak and little and a bit brainy, I think I would be mistaken for a grot by obnoxious big orks
and be called something with runt or grot in it. I would probably be a mekboy, and chained to some desk producing smallarms for the local boss until I would be able to snatch away the tools to break
out and start a solitary existance in the wastes in a small hovel in the desert, isolated from the outside of orkcom by minefield, big warning signs, guardsquigs and a habit to shot anyone appearing
over the hills from afar, endlessly making handmade smallarms and turning these into big arms.

I'd probably die as an imperial guardsmen by F*@king up and breaking one of like the 200 hundred rules most of witch end in death....of course lol

I could end up more pathetic then that. I would probably be mong the civilian population killed of by the first bombardment of the war.

I would be a servitor

I'd probably end up being some mind wiped servitor. Knowing that I am big and strong enough to probably have tried at a younger age to become an Astartes. I also know that I lack the conviction to be willing to deal death in great quantity, so my fate would have been sealed. I'd probably end up polishing some dang gun or cleaning toilets.

i would probably end up as a chaos cultist, or if im REALLLY lucky a csm

I'd be a radical tech priest. Someone that tried to understand and create new tech. Which means, I'd probably be burned at the stake at some point.

A servo skull knowing my luck...

A wounded SM objective marker

I'd become either an IG officer and be jealous of the marines, or a chaos cultist, just to be awkward.

Dinner for a hungry Daemon.

Tau air caste pilot probably.

Speaking of Daemons, I would probably give myself to a chaos power and get killed by the Daemon because I just wasn't good enough.

an ork kommando because i love destroying things (who doesnt ) and i love ninja's/assassin's.

tau commander. Im not very strong, but I can shoot things at long distances. It would be kinda akward though considering im 6'3 and they are like 4'5 I would kinda be outta place.....

I'd be a daemon. Maybe for Nurgle or Khorne. Something that allow me to use a decent sword and hang out with other immortals at a bar.

Face it. We all would be food for the Tyranids.

I'd be thinking 'Gee, I wonder if those 2012 doomsday fanatics are still at it'.

On-topic: I'd be a Catachan, just for the free steroids.

If I was...

Eldar, then I'd one of those pervs who created Slaanesh, so I'm already dead

Tyranid: Spinegaunt: 100% expendable.

Space Marine: HA HA HA!, good luck getting there buddy...

Imperial Guard: a Conscript. "oh we're ready to fight sir" I'd say, but really now, who am I trying to convince??

Dark Eldar: A simple warrior. Probably gonna die due to some strange political scheme that fails.

Inquisition: Not even in the Emperor's dream would I be able to get this far.

Tau: Gue'vesa. Once again, expandability.

Tau: "Hey, you wanna serve the Greater Good?"

Me: "Sure!"

Tau: "Well then, go charge that Imperial fortress brimming with very, very large guns."

Necron: A humble Scarab. Dead in minutes

Orks: A Grot, what fun! (after you're 5 second life span)

Chaos Marines: The usual Cultist: probably dead in minutes

I'd be dead in the REAL 40k......

Given my thrill seeking that borders on suicidal intent (I.E. bungee jumping, para sail, white water rafting, sky diving, etc. etc.) If I were lucky I'd end up as an Elysian Drop Troop in the service of the Emperor. If I were unlucky I'd be this:

...hhmm Kowing my vague religuos bent I would probably end up as a minor functionary in the eclesiarchy. You know the one that either gets put on the front lines with the IG or gets sent as a missionary to the underhive.

I would probably be a Big Mek with some badass tellyporta skills, nobody would mess with me, not even the Warboss.

If I was a Human however, I would end up as a Ratling (I would hate the name even more than I do now), or a pilot of some combat aircraft.

On second thoughts, I'd be a Primaris Psyker. I just want to shoot lightning and MIND BULLETS. I would also have my own METAL BAWKSES.

A Wookiee.

Oh wait 40k sorry.

I'd probably be an Eldar Striking Scorpion. I'm real sneaky, and make next to no noise when I move. Then I gut the enemy. RAARGH.

Otherwise I'd be a Wierdboy. Lightning from every facial orifice, and I could turn people into Squigs! And be real noisy.

You spelt it "witch" instead of "which", which shows that you are thinking about witchery, for that you will receive summary execution.

I would probably be a very unpopular commissar.

id be one of the million psyker killed for da emporer

A tyranid symbiote weapon

I would have been born on Fenris, joined the ranks of the space wolves, then died as a blood claw while ripping the face off an ork warboss with a powerfist.

Psychic food for the Golden Throne.

Hrm. The Hive Mind.

Probably a Mekboy, with my love of tinkering and building. A more artistic Mekboy, though, if that's possible.
