    My ongoing theory is that every Space Hulk has at least some Orks inside, maybe even hidden deep in the core, who provide the requisite physics overwrite to make the thing functional.
    Hell I could easily imagine a full population of Orks living in an erzats chamber within the hulk, happily warring with each other and keeping the Hulk working by virtue of their certainty that their 'world' is strong and unbreakable.

      @Jon dow I don't want the imply it's planned by the orks, so basically a big cavity forming when all the debris making up the hulk collided. All you need is one relatively small rock infested with spores to get going.

    • @ItsAVolcano
      @ItsAVolcano 3 роки тому +7

      @Jon dow space hulk forms, but there's a natural big empty space inside just from how everything smashes together. Toss in some debris from an Ork ship infested with Ork spores. The spores form shrooms, then Gretchen who tend to the shrooms, and eventually Orks, all living inside the empty space, killing and eating each other, with more spores falling. Rinse and repeat and you get a society of savage Orks.
      Remember a hulk is easily several kilometers wide, a random hole inside it can still be the size of a city.

    Space Hulks really remind me of things like hairballs, pearls and owl pellets. They're bits of the materium that slowly coalesce in the warp, and once the warp is bothered enough by this bit of sanity among the seas of madness, it spits it back out into the materium. Actually a really cool bit of worldbuilding. Much like we aren't particularly fond of bits of warp-stuff in our side of the dimensional plane, the immaterium probably isn't too fond of the bits of real space it can't eat up and digest.

    I have a love hate relationship with space hulks because on the one hand they are so cool and mysterious full of so much lore and writing potential that anything could happen and the fact they lean more into the dark of the grim dark is just icing one the cake. However they also can just be used as a bullshit no inspiration writing crutch for authors to just insert in to give a faction an uninspired MacGuffin or a Chekhov’s gun. Why did the orks win an Unwinnable space battle it’s because the space hulk had a dbz level finale transformation no one could have predicted or why does the Imperial planet have a weapon of mass destruction because they found one on a hulk. In my humble opinion they are way cooler when they have no logic behind them and no one can really control them making them just as dangerous as they are effective. The imperium could try to find lost technology in them but it’s safer just to scrap them and not risk the space marines. Orks could use them as mega battle ships only to find over half the guns are pointing inside the hulk killing countless of millions of orks. Gene stealers could use them for transportation only to forever be lost in the warp. They should always give great rewards at the highest prices so no matter what faction is trying to use them their is a reason they are risking everything for them.

      well as governess of the Korvak system there was that one time a small one ( 50 km by 30 km by 5 km) drifted in. local pdf came in it was empty. we claimed it, salvaged up 5 old imperial ships out the wreck and then gave them out to the navy as out systems tax over the course of 5 years saving us mountains of cash!
      sure yea the battle cruiser heart of dorn was later discovered to one massive sleeping damon engine and the cruiser gorgan vanished one year after recovery without so much as a distress signal. but by then it was the navys issue not mine so everything was fine.

    My first ever game in the 40k universe was on a Space Hulk. My local game store had on Saturdays a program for getting new people in to tabletop games. They would run one game from like 10-12 then a different game 1-3.
    We had 10-12 people running a squad or two of infantry and the shop had set up a table with paper and felt rooms and corridors all over. Each person was give a different starting point and draw a card with their secret mission on it. Some missions like go to X room for X # of turns, kill X player's team, and stuff like that. I had two 5 man squads of Space Marines with one missile launcher and a combi-flamer(between this and Aliens I love combi-flamers to this day).
    But the highlight of the game is when someone threw a Vortex grenade and on a following turn it went though two walls and a corridor that did bad things to someone unit. After that all movement for the next few turns was planned around it.

    I want the story to be about the landing crew slowly getting fucked with once they enter the long dead imperial ships after passing through some alien ones.
    They soon find a ancient dormant AI that you had to mind meld with to dual run a ship. At this point they dont know if it's the AI or aliens fucking with them.
    I want one of the men to get greedy and link with the AI with will figure take over most of the space hulk...if it was a movie it would the best part as the whole thing lights up and the AI start cataloging the ship.
    The ai will come up with a plan to free its self (the ship) after the crew salvages the other ships...
    What I want is to experience the golden age of man for a moment. The AI well a powerful tool, person and ally ALL AI go evil and have to be destroyed.
    So they send a space marine chapter fleet to hunt down a salvaged and rebuilt ship from the golden age of man....
    This is where it gets tough wise...do we end it here or say they ecapsed...maybe this AI will stay different.
    I want the AI to show ancient videos of what humanity once was to everyone who enters the ship after waking up...trying to convert them over to its side.
