We know that haemonculi go off the deep-end with their flesh changes, but most of drukhari (except scourges and possibly Kheradruakh) don't seem to sport a lot of altered biology. In the Path of the Outcast, we see one ranger express his discomfort with the concept of fleshcrafters that had set up shop in the webway only to have the other ranger mention she'd had talons for a while. The imrpression I got from the scene was that the craftworlders sort of viewed flesh crafting as being akin to getting a tattoo; scandalous among the rigid craftworlders, but not taboo in the same way a haemonculus's changes would be. In Rise of the Ynnari: Ghost Warrior, we hear about a craftworld having a lot of flesh crafters but not much in the way of bone singers immediately after the fall. It's sort of implied that aeldari in general don't really have to deal with diseases or genetic defects, possibly as a result bio-engineering.

So with all that in mind, how big a deal is flesh crafting to various aeldari societies? Is it conceivable that there are exodite cultures that have their bodies altered to be similar to the fauna they hunt and ride? Are there craftworlders not on the path of the outcast that are walking around augmented physiologies? Are there wyches that have had strange appendages grown or grafted on to add to the spectacle of their performances? Might an archon or corsair prince invest in some sort of organic implant or modification to increase their healing speed, poison resistance, physical strength, etc?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/763020/10131623.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/763020/10131623.page GMT Flesh Crafting Stigma in Aeldari Societies?
It's pretty certain that Corsairs and Dark Eldar augment themselves though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/763020/10132297.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/763020/10132297.page GMT Re:Flesh Crafting Stigma in Aeldari Societies?
I like the idea of expodites doing it but they would need a good story reason to have the tech, unless they did it old school with cutting and sewing.

Corsairs or the like might ofc strive for just that shock effect to show they're free. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/763020/10132656.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/763020/10132656.page GMT Re:Flesh Crafting Stigma in Aeldari Societies? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/763020/10145357.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/763020/10145357.page GMT Re:Flesh Crafting Stigma in Aeldari Societies?

Considering Craftworlders are the Aedari equivalent of holier-than-thou Puritan pilgrims, I imagine they take a pretty stern view toward anything that might prevent individuals from moving on from one path to another, such as irreversible self-mutilation/modification.


True, but for the same reason, I could see them accepting a (discrete) limb or organ regrowth in preference to a bionic after a traumatic injury.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/763020/10145453.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/763020/10145453.page GMT Flesh Crafting Stigma in Aeldari Societies? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/763020/10145458.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/763020/10145458.page GMT
