Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 815 Terminator Allocation, the Armor System of "Shadow of Order" (Extraordinary Physique and Strength)

After sending the last snow shrike to the "Land of Chaos," Nimrod did not go to the Great Library at Phoenix Cliff.

He entrusted the task of organizing and recording the information to the think tank and to Alsena Dunn's entourage.

Nimrod returned to the Shadow of Royal Authority and convened a meeting of the chapter commanders.

Inside the Primarch's office, Nimrod leaned against the throne and first looked at Rosicky Cech.

"The new powered armor has been tested in actual combat, and you are responsible for its large-scale deployment."

"Complete the refit within fifteen years, fully replacing the Mark II and Mark III."

Before the grand birthday celebration, Nimrod was to complete a complete re-equipment. While other loyal legions were still using the Mark II Expeditionary Armor as their main equipment to deal with the sudden outbreak of civil war, his legions would be equipped with a new generation of power armor with superior performance.

"Follow Your will." The Master of the Forge bowed in response.

Ninglu then looked around at the various battle commanders and continued:
"The new Terminator armor, the Hades type, has also been tested in actual combat. Based on the situation of each battle group, I have decided to clarify the equipment of the three existing Terminators."

"The Saturn-type Terminator prototype was primarily equipped by the First, Second, Eighth, and Eleventh Warbands."

The mental burden of the three Terminator models can be met by those of Sequence 7 and above. The limitations on equipment are physical strength and whether the combat style requires agility.

The Eighth Chapter, primarily using the "Twilight Giant" pathway, boasts the strongest physiques. Sequence 9 "Warriors" possess extraordinary strength and agility, while Sequence 7 "Weapon Masters" further gain superhuman strength, physique, and agility.

Sequence 6 "Dawn Knights" receive a terrifying boost; even ordinary people at this stage become as large as Astartes. They wear Saturn-shaped Terminator prototypes and still possess extraordinary agility.

The Eleventh Legion, comprised mainly of the evolved "Black Emperor" and other extraordinary individuals, would likely rank second in this regard.

The core ability of the Sequence 8 "Barbarian" is "physical enhancement," and the extraordinary ones will possess terrifying strength and a powerful physique.

When Nimrod became a "Barbarian," he awakened his genetic memories ahead of time and grew to a height of 4.11 meters. Although he did not have the advantage of size and strength in Huang Laohan's design, he was still among the top among the Primarchs.

The subsequent Sequence 7, "The Briber," has a slight improvement in physical condition.

Nimrod was already able to overpower most Primarchs in terms of strength, but without using "bribe and weaken," he was still no match for the valiant Leman Ruth, much less for Vorkan.

He narrowly lost to Vokhan in a contest on Nocturne.

The "Power Burst" of Sequence 6 "Corrupted Baron" is not an enhancement under normal circumstances, but the power that bursts out in an instant can even exceed that of the "Dawn Knight" of the same sequence.

Nimrod was now able to maintain his "Power Burst" at a level unmatched by any Primarch, including the Vorkan, who possessed terrifying power.

The constitution of Sequence 5 "Chaos Mentor" depends on the "Ambition" status.

The greater one's "ambition," the stronger one's physique; an ambitious person may even surpass the "Guardians" of the same rank.

Even without his "power burst," Nimrod's current physique and power surpass those of all Primarchs, driven by his ambition to become a god and control his own destiny.

The primary path for Extraordinary Ones in the First Chapter is the "Inquisitor," where they receive a physical boost during their Sequence 7 "Inquisitor" stage, and become even stronger and more robust during their Sequence 5 "Punishment Knight" stage.

The second battle group, which primarily uses the "Sun" pathway, experienced a physical enhancement when they reached Sequence 9 "Singer," a further enhancement after becoming Sequence 7 "Sun Priest," and a significant enhancement after becoming Sequence 6 "Notary."

The mid-series Beyonders of these four chapters wear Saturn-shaped Terminator prototypes, which don't put much strain on their bodies, but are slightly different.

"Dawn Rider" can unleash superhuman agility while wearing the Saturn-shaped Terminator prototype, while "Punishment Rider" and "Notary" do not rely on agility in their fighting styles.

The "Chaos Mentors" also possess agility comparable to the "Guardians." Not only does "Ambition" make them even faster, but their stretching and extending abilities allow them to attack from unpredictable angles. They also have extraordinary abilities that can influence this, such as "distorting" distance and altering "geometric" displacement.

The effects of the "Black Emperor" pathway potion evolution materials are quite evident. If William hadn't obtained the Prophet's Puppet, Per would be my strongest subordinate right now.
"Iron Cavalry Terminator, primarily equipped by the Fourth Warband and Priests."

The fourth chapter, which primarily uses the "Death" pathway, has improved physical attributes when they reach Sequence 9 "Corpse Collector" and become even stronger and more agile when they reach Sequence 8 "Gravedigger".

The priest team of "Shadow of Order" consists of the "Dreamers" and "Sun" pathways, with five members in each company: four from the former and one from the latter.

Although there is no physical enhancement along the path from Sequence 9 "Audience" to Sequence 7 "Psychotherapist", their physical fitness is greatly enhanced after advancing to Sequence 6 "Hypnotist".

"The Hades-type Terminator is mainly equipped by the Third, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh Regiments."

These seven pathways are different, but they can be broadly divided into two categories.

One type consists of extraordinary individuals whose physical bodies have not been enhanced, namely the Fifth Battle Group, which mainly uses the "Gate" pathway, and the Tenth Battle Group, which mainly uses the "Hanged Man" pathway.

Another category consists of individuals whose physical fitness has improved to a certain extent, but who need to maintain agility for various reasons.

The Seventh Chapter, which primarily utilizes the "Red Priest" pathway, is the most typical example. The physical attributes of Sequence 9 "Hunters" are significantly enhanced, with improvements in strength, speed, reaction time, and body control. The strength, reaction time, speed, and agility of Sequence 8 "Provocateurs" are also slightly improved.

Their physical attributes are enhanced, but agility, reflexes, and body control remain their strengths. To maintain these advantages, a more balanced Hades type is more suitable for the Seventh Chapter.

The Ninth Legion's primary route is through "Tyrants," and they are no exception.

The Sequence 9 "Sailor" possesses exceptional strength, while the Sequence 8 "Wrathful People" have greatly enhanced strength and agility. However, the Sequence 6 "Wind-Clad" possesses a certain ability to float and glide, but wearing the Ironclad form will prevent them from flying.

Even the Hades type requires the Yard Hunter suit, which abandons the mimicry function but adopts a hinged frame structure, to allow the "Wind Chosen" to fly.

The Third Chapter's "Midnight Poets," who primarily utilize the "Night" approach, have received enhanced physical abilities, making them even more formidable than the "Gravediggers" in the dark. However, their fighting style also requires a certain degree of dexterity.

The main route of the 12th Regiment is the "Fool". They are the same. Although the Sequence 8 "Clown" have decent strength, their real advantage is their superb physical coordination and balance, as well as their outstanding agility and speed.

The Ironclad and Saturn types would make them too bulky and lose precise body control.

The think tanks of "Shadow of Order" are mostly "Hermits," and their armor is centered around the mind-matter servants of the space dwarves.

The rune array of the Sage of Grimnir can amplify psionic energy to a certain extent, and more importantly, its circuit-breaking mechanism can sever the connection with the warp in time when the power goes out of control.

The technical sergeants who primarily follow the "Perfect" path and the pharmacists who primarily follow the "Moon" path are in a more special situation, as they have unique missions in addition to combat duties.

Both the Servo Arm and the Natherim Gauntlets have certain requirements for the armor itself, and the armor is manufactured based on its own needs.

All the high-ranking members of the "Shadow of Order" will have the privilege of having their armor personally forged by Malevolus, who originally only forged armor for Primarchs.

The Armor Master will tailor the armor to each individual's characteristics and the Hunter Set's growth and adaptation system, allowing them to receive greater power boosts the longer they wear the armor.

Upon arriving in Heliossa, Per and the other eleven lords wore solemn expressions. They were overjoyed by the abundance of the armory, but also sensed the Black Emperor's deliberate preparations.

The prophetic psychics, "Winner" Flamini and "Master of the Puppet" William, sense that a storm of war is brewing.

“Follow Your will.” Rosicky, the master of the forge, respectfully accepted the command.
