Random stuff

Because random bits of fluff and stuff is something we should always share:

You all know that the Imperial Guard regiments are split into all infantry, all tanks and so on (mechanized and Dragoon regiments will likely contain Chimera transports for the troops and some Leman Russ tanks, maybe even a Basilisk or two). You also know that the various branches of Imperial military can't order each other about - the Navy can't tell the Guard what to do and they certainly can't censure Guard units for doing something that annoyed the Navy (so long as it's not fighting with the Navy or something that get's a Commissar's notice).

All Imperial air forces are part of the Navy or if local then the PDF (which is a whole different entity, separate from the Guard but not immune to it's Commissars). I was re-reading Double Eagle today and a base commander was censuring a Phantine Flight Leader for not pulling back as ordered. Then the Navy boy got the rug pulled out from beneath him.

The Phantine flyers can't be ordered about by the Navy. Because of a geographical quirk - Phantine is polluted to all hell and back and going into the toxic layers is a death sentence, so the populations lives in domed cities on top of the tallest mountains. This has lead to the oddity that every time Phantine is asked to supply regiments for the Imperial Guard, they mostly supply Squadrons (Lightning, Marauders, Thunderbolts etc.)

Imagine the Navy officer's face when he realized he couldn't do a thing to the fighter squadron that was operating out of a base nominally under his command - because they were Imperial Guard. I love the Imperium and it's convoluted everything.

THIS...IS...BUREAUCRACY!

A zis Darius ca the Imperium has a skull fetish. Well yeah, they are pretty much going for this:

O da. Catacombele Parisului. Nice place.

The first picture is just so awesome. Standing there with the skulls all around you, gazing at you from the ceiling. See, skulls make everything better.

Prima e din Cehia.

P.S.: Altho' some skulls would be nice.

Look more closely at their helmet faceplates. Remind you of anything?

So this is an interesting little detail about the Emperor (from the Sigilite audiobook and copied from Warseer):

Malcador says this of the Emp:
1] The Emp has a powerful intellect, blunt but powerful.

2] And very occasionally even a sense of humor of a sort.

3] Malcador and the Emp have had a debate thats been going on for a long time, the debate is about the leadership of humanity. The Emp believes that its the task of a ruler is to make himself obsolete so that his people would replace him when they are mature enough. Malcador disagrees and states that he believes that humanity will never be mature enough for that. He(Malcador) that no one but the Emp is strong enough to hold Mankind together.

4] The Emp has high aspirations for the human race, too high according to Malcador.
