>>5492021I agree that losing UZ1 is probably a lot more detrimental to losing our body in regards to our humanity. Still, as absolutely devastating as it is to lose our beloved, we still have our faith. And even other Primarchs have had to deal with loss. Consider Guilliman and his mother.
>people do go crazy and get some really weird ideas when isolated for to longThat's the thing about 40k. The characters you see tend to be one in a million, or perhaps one in a billion in terms of raw determination and willpower. Techpriests are not only the intellectual but the spiritual and disciplined elite. It takes a considerable amount of willpower to be a brain in a jar with a body for thousands of years, even more so people like Antigonus who had no body for thousands of years.
Willpower, and faith to last the ages. How much more the faith of a Primarch?
>>5492048>So T4L0S might not be too far away from daddy if we think how he sees and uses the average serf or how servitors are...Tbh we're kind of already there. The prosperity and devotion to humanity is a primary goal. The individual human is, well, a number and a statistic.
Yes we want to raies the overall standard of living. But in the grand scheme of things, every single one of our brothers will agree, an individual human life has a calculable value. It's just some hold that value a bit differently than others (Vulkan v Perturabo)
>>5492051>Retaining something that looks humanoid is something all tech priest doHardly.
Some techpriests look like walking metal octopuses with brains. While it is common for many of them to retain a human form, many others also just dispense with it entirely and it is in fact a goal that some see as holy and work very hard to achieve.
Artists just tend to draw the ones that look humanoid because it's easier.
Pic related could easily be a well respected techpriest, all it needs is red robes, omnisian axe, some purity seals, a servo skull and a cog mechanicum.
