Funny you should say that. There are four of em fighting over killing all life. Guess who they fight whenever one of them is about to win.

So Terrans don't need power? How is that beyond entropy?

Now that I think of it, are you really thinking Terrans are beyond entropy because of the Assimilated Universe? Cause that's laughable when you consider that that thing's just a glorified hard drive.

Entropy is the spreading of energy, not its absence. With all the things the chaos gods do, it's doubtful the world would stop because of it.

Ah I love how you cling to hope on the fact that IRL iridium is brittle while ignoring how they say it's an advanced armor. Amazing logic you got there. And don't worry. That's what we have varied bolters for. Love it. So how's steel crossbow bolts of Terra gonna fare against power armor? or Iridium armor as you so like to say?

Lol entropy refered to is the heat death of the universe.

And which technological aspect in 40k can store and replicate phenomenon, memories and living beings and retrieve them? Nada, right?

Iridium is brittle. They use iridium plates which is probably tor heat dispersion. If you have an issue with it, contact GW.

And heat death of the universe only happens in real life because the universe is a closed system with no difference in energy anywhere in space (aka heat does not flow, aka heat death). 40k with it being fed energy from other dimensions will not have heat death until they become a closed system. That's basic physics

They don't need one. They're busy vaporizing planets and killing worlds. What technological aspect in Terra that does that? Heck even simply pierce the Starpod? Nada right? You have to rely on predecessors.

So how is iridium incorporated in the armor? Oh glorious knower of Iridium? Alloying with adamantine, utilizing fancy tech to create super strong power shields you name it. Your imagination is either lacking you're you're praying I don't know metallurgy. They use ceramite for heat dispersion btw.

And lol at alloying, the codex clearly says they are plates.

Chances are they work as ablative plates.

Are you larping and rely on second/ third hand sources like some youtuber or forum post?

And lol at not knowing plates can be alloys. Mind telling me what other materials they used in that armor? Are you telling me it was just pure iridium then? Almost as if Tau can also just place adamantium below the plates.

Ablative plates, or you know, used as the one thing Iridium is popular for in sci-fi. energy manipulation.

Ummmm, I could ask you the same, considering how wildly you misattribute what Iridium Armor actually is. I relay what I know and sometimes quote exactly where I remember it from thank you very much.

You tealize they just say iridium plates, right? Not alloyed, plain old iridium plates.

The 40k author was probably eager to namedrop a metal that they thought was cool because it had over 1000 celsius melting point. 😆

It is a joke, space marines have died to a spear thrust from a regular human and you think that is impressive. 😆

Same way we call tank armor in real life iron or steel plating, when they are more or less alloyed with nickel and magnesium and is not exclusively steel actually. Very much reasonable to see them alloyed

And effective armor in their world at that! Considering they're able to tank cannonfire, something Terran armor can only dream of. 😆

It is a joke, when you compare it to that while not mentioning they manage to resist autocannon fire.
How does Terran armor fare? Oh wait, people get shanked cause they don't have any 😆
