Beeple-beep beep! If the Imperium's technology is in a state of regression, how are they suppose to keep pace with the various diseases that inevitably would develop and spread?
With interstellar travel, millions of people in terrible conditions, thousands of years for diseases to evolve, and enemies that even worship disease, the only way humanity could survive is with no restrictions towards technology.
>>
>>50331811
because the technological regression is almost purely related to weapons development, and there's only vague and passing descriptions of things like healthcare which just pass it off as incredibly advanced and functional
that and 40k fluff is almost entirely focused on warfare as that defines the games

They just kill anyone with a bad disease. Entire planets can be quarantined and allowed to die.

This thing is adorable.

Anon, diseases are a problem when you don't have diversity, but what the empire has thousands and thousands of worlds, with how many trillions of people all separated for the most part gaining their own genetic diversity and with only a small amount of people ever traveling between worlds?
Doesn't seem like a problem to me.

Unfortunately for the masses living in the Gue'la imperium, the don't. They are at risk of pandemic whenever a ship arrives.
This is, in fact, what the Gue'la's ridiculous belief in a god named Nargil actually is. They refuse to believe that their system could leave them at risk of infection, so they claim it is the work of an enemy from another dimension.
Now, come... please take your shot to immunise you to all known diseases, with only a 72% chance of rendering you sterile.

So if Nurgle is the Imperium's inability to handle disease, and Slaanesh is a space marine warlord, what are tzeentch and khorne?

Neck yourself, avatarfag.

If someone catches a problematic disease, quarantine the area. Then burn it.
Few planets in the Imperium have the amount of people travelling all over it that we do, limiting the spread of disease to a smaller area of the planet.

No no, it's pronounced Khârn. Easy mistake to make, the Gue'la always seem to do it.
We've seen his forces in battle numerous times, with their bright red armour. You know, the flesh eaters.

They don't.
Hence, Nurgle.

I'll take this as a sign to use a Chadra-Fan character in the next SW themed game.

We're still working out the kinks!
Trying to figure out a panacea for Gue'vesa is tough, and sometimes it has side effects.

Other stuff aside this art is amazing dont know what in it but... fucking good.

THERE IS NOTHING A NICE PILL OF EXTERMINATUS CAN'T CURE!

But they did kill space pope.
Spooky Skelington man #4 did it, after Sniper Skelington, DYNAMIC ENTRY WRRYYY Skelington, and Laytex Sexybabe Skelington failed

>>50334713
THAT WAS AN INSIDE JOB, IT'S ALL THE GUE'VESAS FAULT! THEY HAVEN'T BEEN AT WORK WHEN IT HAPPENED, SOME HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT SOME "HOLY CRUSADE" THAT WILL TAKE THEM BACK! SOUNDS SUSPICIOUS!!1!!

The planet was under siege, Nig'la. No one was at work.

Imagine the Imperium has a few solar systems devoted solely to production of small orange pills. The pills were a product of an STC found 4000 years ago, labeled "universal cure". The pills themselves were designed 30000 years ago. No one knows how exactly they work, only that certain amount of certain products need to be mixed using a specific process. One pill is worth a common person's house.
The pills of course do nothing. They were designed for millenia-old diseases that have mutated beyond recognition. Knowledge about antibiotic resistance, antibiotics or diseases in general is a closely guarded secret of the Magos Biologis and they may even not be aware that the pill exists.
Everyone who falls ill despite taking the "universal cure" pill is pronounced in collusion with ruinous powers and burned at the stake.
Gangs in the underhives die in their thousands for a few orange pills.
Somewhere, Nurgle laughs.

>>50334976
They are not pills, they are favourite Emperors orange flavored tic-tocs.
>>
>>50331811
You have no idea how antibiotics, vaccination, or any kind of decontamination process works, do you?

>>50334832
Do you still believe the official story? The media is lying, you stupid sheep'el! Go back and suck your traitors faceslit you damned farsightarian!
