Husband said something silly tonight and if I didn’t draw it I was going to pass out
Emperor of Mankind as Omnissiah
Gender and the Adeptus Mechanicus
Oh boy! Time to probably turn off my inbox two hours after posting this question!
So I am running a Dark Heresy one-shot campaign over Discord, to introduce a good friend to the setting. Said friend has chosen to play a Tech Priest (yay! I love cog-boys!) which is especially fun because it gives me an instant-in for the character, and because they asked me about the topic of gender in the Cult Mechanicus.
I have some opinions on the topic. @a-krogan-skald-and-bearsark said it pretty well, though: "There's great scope for gender fuckery with the Mechanicus that GW has scrupulously avoided exploring." As, you know, they generally do. Because we can't have a mature discussion about LGBTQIA2S+ things in Warhammer, especially gender queerness (or even gender, period) without someone crying "bUt SpAcE mArInEs CaN't Be FeMaLe!!?"
Anyway. Snarkiness aside, I thought I'd throw the question out to tumblr for your opinions! I know there's likeminded and/or queer fans of Dark Heresy and Warhammer 40k here on the site.
Do you have any thoughts on gender in the Cult Mechanicus? Bonus points if they're on the topics of gender transition augmentations (side quest: "transcending the flesh").
reila :(
Help, i tried to make a Mega Klinklang design, but accidentally designed a man-made GOD, that reflects the hubris of man and the consequences of giving machines more power.
So... You don't ascribe to the belief that the Omnissiah and the God-Emperor are one and the same? Tell me more.
Thank you for your inquiry.
The Omnissiah and the God-Emperor are one in the same, but the Omnissiah and the Machine God are not.
Based on my understanding, the Omnissiah (or God-Emperor) is the prophet of the Machine God, not the Machine God itself.
That being said, I am an Arbitrator, and not a Tech-Priest. I could be wrong about this.
