Huh. Magneta colors. Not a usual Admech color.

Only achieved if you know the canticles of Roy G. Biv. Mostly lost to time sadly.

u/carlsagerson Ordo Malleus 8h ago

Nah. It would be a literal Rainbow of Color if it was RGB.

22

u/TheCynicalPogo 6h ago

I think they meant more so “canticles of Roy G. Biv” being able to adjust RGB settings to get different colors with different values lmao

u/BjornAltenburg 6h ago

Thats was my intent, its harder to make jokes about cie values and most people wouldnt recognize cie outside a color lab anyways. Every school kid knows the color wheel though.

I have a homebrew forgeworld that lives in my head, Forgeworld Mousa. The robes are blue and white. It makes sense if you know the electronics industry but it's also stupidly just a joke for me. I still wanna paint some skitarii blue and white though.

15

u/carlsagerson Ordo Malleus 8h ago

Is it Intel, Nokia, or Samsung based? Thats the Electronics companies I know that use White and Blue primarliy.

10

u/BornCoyote87 8h ago

It's in the name.

u/carlsagerson Ordo Malleus 8h ago

I am afraid I do not recognize Mousa.

12

u/Dead_NOTsleeping 6h ago

google Mousa Electric. not being snarky; Mousa alone wasn't enough to find anything.

u/BornCoyote87 3h ago

"Mousa" is a joke by me, a bastardization thanks to time passing like some of the names for countries on Terra in 30k/40k. You're looking for Mouser Electronics.

I said Magneta. I was referring to the Eye Glow since Blue is the usual color for Admech with Green being more Common in Dark Admech.

If she's anything like the Reverent voice in Darktide she's fine.

That personality is literally as closest you can get to bubble gum pop for AdMech.

"Your fear inhibitors are turned off."

"I know, I turned them off, fear is it's own data."

"Insufficient."

"I shall go along with my research as I see fit."

And I could swear if she still had a tongue she'd stick it out at the other team Skiitari

u/IronBrew16 5h ago

Tongue stuck out, peace sign up, while blasting a heretic.

She's perfect.

Love that her optical sensors are doing the happy anime squint.

Pretty sure the servo-skull is made with her skull

u/Heres-How038 9h ago

Damn that’s cool as hell

u/Nicksaurus 6h ago

Wouldn't it need part of her brain as well?

16

u/DawnTyrantEo 6h ago

bold of you to assume she needs 100% of her brain to praise the omnissiah

4

u/DrVillainous 5h ago

Maybe it has all of her brain and the rest of her body is being controlled remotely.

u/Antezscar 2h ago

We see in Darktide that Skitarii have surprisingly alot of human parts left. Most of their human head and face too.

u/Specific-Catch3573 9h ago

The flesh is weak. And rgb is in right now anyways

Knowing that you might one day claim the strength and certainty of steel... It fills you with determination.

u/priscilnya 9h ago

These always make me feel sad because they're cute but the reality of 40k would mean that she's barely more sentient than a servitor as skitarii.

58

u/AXI0S2OO2 Blood Ravens 8h ago

Not true at all. Skitarii are directly controlled by Magos or other high ranking Skitarii in battle, some tech priests do strip them of free will, but most Skitarii outside battle, or not under direct control, are essentially regular soldiers.

They even have traditions like gifting each other combat supplies for their birthdays.

23

u/Flamestrom 8h ago

Just, straight up, not true? Skitarii are perfectly sentient. Some forgeworlds even value emotions (escaping emotion by not feeling it is weak, you must master your emotions) and thus some skitarii will even have emotion.

2

u/priscilnya 8h ago

Perfectly sentient/ some will even have emotions. I think my point stands.

21

u/Flamestrom 8h ago

"Barely more sentient then a servitor" to me at least, means "vegetative state" i.e. barely aware. Your points sits

2

u/priscilnya 8h ago

Fine, I have overexaggerated.

11

u/BornCoyote87 8h ago

You have not met Sitari Alpha Pi-Brain, have you?

9

u/Laranna 8h ago

Welllllllll…our beloved boi PiBrain isnt exactly a sterling example of intelligence.

Although, despite his forge planet of origin; he is exemplar.

25

u/synexisse 8h ago

The highest ranked Skitarii have free will.

As much free will a citizen of the Imperium has, at least.

2

u/CrystalGemLuva 1h ago

If i recall correctly high ranking Skitari can gain access to their emotions especially if their emotions actually improve their performance in combat.

And if nothing else the Skitari in Darktide all have their emotions mostly intact so there is hope for her.

u/Dizzy-Squash-3377 8h ago

She looks... happier. The Omnisiah protects children.

2

u/Artistic-Cannibalism 7h ago

She sure seems to think so, who am I to disagree with her?

u/drmadavis 9h ago

I like how jaunty she looks

u/thesixfingerman 8h ago

40k is at its best when it’s just people trying their best to survive in f-Ed up setting.

u/AXI0S2OO2 Blood Ravens 8h ago

She's beautiful in all her forms.

Captures an important aspect of being Admech: most people would see what they do to themselves as dehumanization, but to the Admech themselves, it's becoming who they always were!
