Numbers. Tenno are amazing infiltrators, assassins and saboteurs. They're not set up to fight wars.

A thought, are Tenno heretical? They're human, but they use biotech. Fight corruption but are themselves touched by the Void.

Anyway, the Tenno are psykers of considerable power and questionable control. They'd be preposterously dangerous to be around in 40k. It's somewhat questionable if the Imperium would think it worth the risks to have them around.

The Warframes themselves are very different form basically any tech in 40k, which might make some of the more radical elements happy, but mainstream Adeptus Mechanicus would probably consider them in need of very extensive study before the tech could (potentially) be declared safe to use. Of course, the connection there may be to the infested could also end up making it all considered an example of why you must be extremely careful with technology, as the infested plague can spring from the technological basis of the warframes (maybe not easily, but once you have a malevolent warp entity dropping hints and playing muse...)

Or...

Another approach to Tenno in 40k is that, well, that's pretty much aspect warriors.

>>50725079

Cephalon are full AI, which is right up at the very top of the Adeptus Mechanicus' Kill on Sight-list. One Iron Man Rebellion was enough, thankyouverymuch.

Because numbers work against Tenno.

They'd just use the navy to destroy their shitty little ships and their space stations. Also they'd probably use psykers to go after the operators or disrupt their link.
>>
>>50725278
Tenno ships are apparently stupidly stealthy, given the Grineer can't seem to get rid of them either and they can fly right up to them.

Disrupting the link just leaves the Warframe to gain free will. What do you think the Stalker is?

Keith Thompson. Really cool guy. Has a really inspired vision of how to blend the mechanical and the biological, and a great sense of the uncanny. You can actually see his influence in Warframe, it just looks like liquid shit.
>>
>>50725203
I disagree. I think that the only redeemable thing are a few of the environments (last time I played, anyway) and i think the enemies are some of the ugliest in any game Ive ever played. The Grineer especially are just so terrible looking, and not in a good way, and it doesnt help that their animations have no weight which makes them look like their armor is filled with nothing but insulation foam.

>>50725563
The floaty physics, controls, and animations combined with the flat muted colors make everything feel dreamlike in all the wrong ways. Playing warframe feels like one of those minor nightmares where you're trying to run but can only move at a walking pace. The severe and unending grind only attenuates that feeling of Sisyphean dread.

Warframe is the only game who's fans I genuinely believe have something utterly irreconcilable gone wrong in their brain.
>>
>>50724937
The same thing it uses against everything else: numbers, lasfire, and bolters. If that doesn't work, Exterminatus.
>>
>>50725600
They terrifying thing is they still are that. The bio armor is just their entire bodies. Somewhere trapped inside every warframe is an entire human being, but it's been hijacked by the technocyte and then puppeted by some kid in a pod.
>>
>>50725612
It's not even that, the armor designs on their own just make me feel like I've swallowed a dozen eels and they're all trying to crawl back out. What alarms me is I don't even flinch at most of the fucked up shit from the heyday of /b/ back when it was legitimately fucked up over there but this shit makes me want to vom.

I don't wanna call it bad art, there's a lot of care and attention there and I wouldn't call the art directors lacking in talent. The designs are just nauseating in ways I can't even comprehend.

>armor is filled with nothing but insulation foam.

Wouldn't be too surprised if this was actually the case.

The problem with the environments is that it doesn't mesh with the games movement system at all, even when they were trying to design tiles with the parkour in mind. When we had coptering we could at least say it was a bug that broke the system. Now we just bullet jump through everything. Orokin secret rooms for example, they look great but are functionally broken. Every door has some kind of lip that is easy to get stuck on if you are trying to move through a map with any kind of speed.

In a 40k setting I imagine they would be employed by rogue traders. Tenno will do just about anything for anyone provided they are payed for their service and get to loot everything that isn't nailed down.

Except the one where they have all their bodies controlling the warframes.
>>
>>50728458

YOU MEAN 1?

because thats how many "operator" bodies a single ship has, fucking 1. there are thousands of tennos!
>>
>>50725719
What's with the ghost boner?
>>
>>50728490
That's assuming we're talking about tenno after The Second Dream.
>>
>>50728417
Thats a brilliant idea. Lets track down a psyker who can pilot a body from across a solar system, that can in no way ever backfire ever.
>>
>>50728708
The Moon is literally in the Warp/Void for the time being though, so it's unlikely the Imperium would ever find it.
>>
>>50728726
You suggesting the Imperium should just let psykers capable of piloting bodies across a solar system to roam free?
>>
>>50728738
Planet full of powerful psykers communicating with their host bodies. Should leave some sort of signature to follow, if you're out looking for it. Or just let daemons deal with it.

And after The Second Dream, each orbiter destroyed is a tenno destroyed. Before that getting your ship and/or body destroyed just mean you had to get a new ship and/or body. But with the operator physically on the ship, wiping it out will mean that tenno will never come back.
>>
>>50728816
Still, there'd be almost no way to track them. The Grineer and Corpus have been trying for potentially hundreds of years and haven't got shit to show for it. They're both more technologically advanced than the Imperium as it is. The tenno are very good at not being found apparently.
>>
>>50728865
Do the Grineer or Corpus have psykers?
>>
>>50728916
No, but neither do the Tenno. They both have a pretty good understanding of the Void though.
>>
>>50728865
>They're both more technologically advanced
grineer are WHAT?!
>>
>>50728865
>They're both more technologically advanced than the Imperium as it is.

How? We still haven't seen any Imperial-tech level feats of the Corpus, and certainly not of the Grineer.
>>
>>50728916
Yes and no, Vor certainly had something going on with his void key.
But they use orokin tech to manipulate void energy rather than being infused with it like a Tenno. They can do stuff with psyker/void energy but are themselves -barring exceedingly rare exceptions- not about to start throwing lightning bolts.

This is assuming that Void and Warp are the same thing. The Void might be a distinct entity. We certainly haven't seen any void daemons.
>>

>>50728971

So does the Imperium. Plasma weapons blowing up is just a mechanic added to the tabletop to speed things up. Go play a plasmagunner in a 40k RPG system, or dig up the oldschool rulebooks where plasmagunners could adjust the strength of their shots from does-fuck-all to overcharge.
>>
>>50728994
I think the Void/Warp question is the main decided for the Imperium's relation with the Origin system. If they're the same thing. Tenno are destroyed aside from samples or those who run, hide or pledge themselves to RT and the like.
If the two weird space realms are different.. then the Tenno suddenly jump up in viability. The Assassinorum creams their pants at stealth orbiters and unpredictable high speed ninjas with gun wings.
Either way, after being 'pacified', the Corpus make for perfect Mechanics converts. They already are aside from the lack of Omnissiah and colour scheme.
Grineer IG regiments sound pretty likely too. Doubt any general would even notice they were unusual. Compared to a lot of other regiments, a well drilled and capable cloned army with insectoid armor is pretty ordinary. Odd low Gothic dialect, but whatever.

>>50728976
Again, the Imperium can make stable plasma. It's just kind of shit as their laser and conventional weaponry is as good as or exceeds it at a lower cost.
Plasma is notable in that it can be more destructive than comparable weapons at the cost of instability.

If we're going to crash two universes together, we need to find some common ground, such as melding Void and Warp somehow. Or we can keep both parties working on their own rules, at which point we also have to face the fact that we don't know how well psykers can affect or track the tenno, since nobody in the Warframe universe has psykers or anything to do with the warp, so there's no counters to that.

Hell, do like they did in one story, where the Inquisition ambushed some Necrons and fired a psychic bolt into one of them before they phased out. Then used a psyker to track the bolt and find the tomb, to which they teleported to and set up us the bomb. The tenno wouldn't know the bolt lodged in their body is a tracking device, since it's not transmitting anything they could detect.


Quite frankly, I'm not a fan of this remote operated tenno idea in the game. I liked the Dark Sector style where it's a biomechanical symbiotic suit thing with tacticool webbing and such.

>>50729107
It's both though. Tenno could theoretically operate on their own, but they're berserk animals.

Also, how would the Imperium deal with technocyte anyway?
>>
>>50729141
Well, most of them. The Stalker seems to be a non-controlled Warframe.
>>
>>50729050
The plasma instability has reached peak grimderp in Munitorum, where you need a techpriest and several hours of careful work to even reload them.

Gets Hot! should just make the gun unable to fire the next turn. Or make the weapon unusable for the rest of the game tops, but let the operator fire other weapons or just tank hits, if nothing else.
>>
>>50729091
Except it can't. Shit like the Plasma armed Leman Russ is specifically stated to be almost irreplaceable, with only one forge world able to make them. And that Forge World has been under siege for a couple centuries too.

>Also, how would the Imperium deal with technocyte anyway?

Same way as something like Nurgle's Rot: Nuke from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

Post 2nd Edition, 40k really tried to make combat fast and generic with little details.

>>50729225

>>
I'd personally compare the Warframes to high tier eldar / astartes characters, with less potent space magic.Given how the Warframes are usually operated, most 40k factions are going to have trouble nailing them down and even if they bust up a Warframe, the Operator can just 3d print another.

So the IoM would probably end up massing a lot of bodies at key points that the Tenno would target and hope to keep them from succeeding. Which would be a pain because Tenno excel at sneaking around and running the days of anything guarding key targets.
>>
>>50729340
Just grab some counters and plop one on the relevant dude to indicate overheat.

>>50729387
Starving the Tenno of resources seems like a good course of action. They need Syndicate backing and to loot from their enemies.
Don't think there's such a thing as a Tenno mine or farm. Though they might tax colonies for their protection.
>>
>>50729340
Not really, I mean, if a tank fires its HK missile, do you need to remove the tank and replace it with a tank without the HK missile? Or do you remove bladestorming avengers? Just mark the model with a token or something that it's weapon is out of action.
>>
>>50729422
Given that the Tenno can just steal resources from whomever they fight in order to maintain balance, and add in that they'd be extremely hard to track and predict, I don't think that starving the Tenno of resources is something that can be done.

Also Syndicates and such can just be replaced by a number of groups within the 40k universe. Even with just human factions you've got rogue traders and radical inquisitors that would be willing to work with Tenno. Hell I could see Craftworlds, the Tau and maybe even some very enterprising orks being acceptable partners for Tenno, who should be noted as group to not be united in the slightest when it comes to helping out different factions.

MOAs being used en masse is unlikely, just too risky. The Cybernetica would love a Raptor manufactorum though I'm sure.
But really, the AdMech would stop all production and go over the robots with a fine toothed comb for potential problems and making them work with brains instead of cpus, which will take a few decades.

Fast forward a couple centuries though, and there may be a new Imperial Robot type based on Corpus designs.

Clones are hella unlucky from the universe not liking that shit, but they're not heresy by any means.

They'd make for the beginnings of an amazing IG army. They pretty much already are. Well trained, adaptable with elites and entirely accepting of throwing bodies at the problem until it stops.

You also can't use "well, none of the powerful factions in Warframe can do anything about the Tenno, so neither can the Imperium" as an argument, because Tenno haven't come across the stuff from 40k. Just because Warframe universe scanners can't detect them or find their secret clubhouse doesn't mean 40k universe has to follow their example and can't use their Warp magic, which is not Void magic, to give them an edge.
>>
>>50730868
Ok, so assuming the Warp and Void are two separate things, how exactly would the IoM use their warp stuff to find the tenno? I mean if Warp and Void stuff don't interact or function the same way then is dubious if they could Warp magic to detect Void magic. I'm not super familiar with 40k; can imperium psychers detect Nid hivemind telepathic communications? Or C'tan bullshittery? Sure you can just spout off "well we'll just use our superior space magic!" but could you explain exactly how you'd do it?

I'm not saying that. I'm literally just saying the Void and the Warp are separate things. For one, the Void isn't a psychodrama forged from the collective unconscious of the galaxy - it's genuinely, utterly alien.

>Just because Warframe universe scanners can't detect them or find their secret clubhouse doesn't mean 40k universe has to follow their example and can't use their Warp magic, which is not Void magic, to give them an edge.

Okay?

I'm just saying that stuff like pariahs and nulls are a silly thing to cite as a counter, because they have no relation to the Void.
>>
>>50731163
>can imperium psychers detect Nid hivemind telepathic communications?

That's pretty easy to do. The Nids fill the local Warp with so many telepathic messages at once that every psyker remotely nearby feels it. The problem is, once the hive fleet draws near, it's impossible to send any kind of messages of your own through the white noise. That's what the Shadow in the Warp is.

>Or C'tan bullshittery?

No. In fact, psykers explicitly cannot sense C'tan, to the point where a sufficiently powerful C'tan shard blacks out entire regions of space to their senses.
>>
>>50731834
Haha oh man that makes me think. Could you imagine if there was a tenno that happened to be a blank? Would suck to be one and/or have to fight one.
>>
>>50731163
Why only Warp magic? What makes a Warframe sensors operate on the same principles as 40k sensors? Tenno only have to hide from means of detection in the Warframe universe. Different universe runs on different rules, remember? Imperium, especially the Inquisition, uses a lot of alien technology, so there's bound to be more methods in tracking down the Tenno than just radar and psykers.

>can imperium psychers detect Nid hivemind telepathic communications?

Yes, because it blankets the Warp. Also, there have been psykers who've tried mind melding with Nids as well.

>"well we'll just use our superior space magic!"

That's what the Tenno use as well, so why do they get away with it without having to explain shit?

>>50731834
Without any psychic defences the Tenno would also be very susceptible to psychic powers. Also, since the Void doesn't even exist in the 40k universe, the Tenno coming over would be devoid of it and its properties.
>>
>>50731893
Ok. Interesting to know.

>>50730868
Now back to this. So both sides have their own space magic. Both are pretty F-ing powerful. How do these space magics interact/effect each other? Who knows, they weren't made with the consideration of each other in mind. What are these magic capable of? Depends on who ever is making up the story at the time more or less; like more magic. Who has the more advantageous space magic? Depends on which side of the argument you are on it seems. I will say they seem to be in the same ballpark, it's just the Tenno space magic doesn't hold the whole demon risk issue. But the IoM has a LOT of psychers, some are very powerful and well trained. The IoM is also fucking huge and they are scattered to hell and back so the odds of encountering an exceptional one is rather remote. The Tenno are still getting a grip and their space magic but they can be much more bold with it since it doesn't carry the same risk. I'm not sure either side really has a true advantage when it comes to space magic. As for straight combat? Tenno doesn't do that so much. They are more like scout marines. Who don't really die so easily since they act through their warframes. So I guess the question in 40k terms is how would the IoM deal with a small army of Scout Marines Psychers who are very hard to kill since they sort of just comeback and can freely use their psycher powers will 0 risk. Fuck, the tenno are are freelance choas scout marines lol.

Nigga, have you never been in one of these discussions before?

We assume both franchise's metaphysics function separately from one another and work.

You're coming off as desperate to prove that 40K would shitstomp anything, and I don't even think Tenno would be unstoppable or undetectable in 40K. They'd tear through Spess Maroons by the fuckload, true, but loads of stuff can do that.

>>50732219
>Nigga, have you never been in one of these discussions before?

Yes, and they're all shit with both parties coming up with bullshit and then calling out the other side for their bullshit. What difference does it make? Either side can only show their setting in the context of that setting, so it's impossible to correlate the two together. Both work on different physics, magic, etc. and we're not allowed to mix. 40k can never learn to use the Void and Warframe can never have psykers.

There's so many subjective and arbitrary rules set in place that it's just up to whoever screams "everything proof shield infinity+1," takes their ball and goes home.
>>
>>50732170
>Imperium, especially the Inquisition, uses a lot of alien technology, so there's bound to be more methods in tracking down the Tenno than just radar and psykers.
True, thought there are still stealth systems that work in the 40k universe, so tenno stealth ships may or may not work. Since it's more interesting to pit things together at their best than give one an obvious advantage I was assuming their steal would work because taking that away from the tenno is like taking numbers away from the IoM. I mean how long would a single guard regiment last against a squad of tenno?
>That's what the Tenno use as well, so why do they get away with it without having to explain shit?
I was calling him out on his claim that warp space magic would give the IoM an edge and asking him to explain why it's better than tenno void space magic.

Yes, that's exactly what I said. Now we just have to show how Warframe and 40k correlate to each other in terms of materials, physics, magic, etc. And without equating anything from one universe to anything from the other.

>Neither randomly usurps the other.

You can equate and compare. You just can't go "Oh yeah Void is totally Warp, so the Tenno explode. Muh 40K wins again!" Because that is incorrect.

>Which negates one massive thing about warfare, which is learning from your enemy and using their weapons and tactics against them.

Not really. You can still strategize, and you can still learn about your opponent.

'Neither randomly usurps the other' just means that 'Warp doesn't suddenly stop existing because it's not in Warframverse/vice versa.'
>>
>>50732706
Yes, so? Are speculations out of the question? If the Imperium attacked the Warframe universe, they'd be without the Warp. If we meld the two universes, then Sol becomes some twisted half-40k, half-Warframe place. If we just take the Tenno and their ships (assuming post Second Dream) along with the Void and make 40k unable to have any ways of detecting nor using the Void, how long can the Tenno operate with just their ships? Do they even have FTL or do we just have a bunch of orbiters cruising around Sol with little to no purpose, other than to fight against the Imperium because of reasons?

These are the logistical problems of "take setting A and bash it with setting B."

Which may or may not be in the void. In situations like that it's best to assume both versions of conflicting objects of importance like that both exist independently of each other. Hell it's might be best to assume both the WF and 40K Sol systems bother exist independently of the other. But it's probably best to focus on the most recent point on the lore.

At which point the conflict becomes moot, since there not really any evidence of FTL in Warframe universe, so the Imperium can just ignore the system, even if it's right next door to their Sol.

You mean apart from the tenno zipping around Sol more or less instantly? Or the Sentients being sent out to set up other systems for colonization but coming back to invade? And the devs have mentioned on their live stream their intention to add more systems to explore.
>>
>>50733540
Yeah, isn't the issue not that they don't have the capability for the most part, but are afraid of the sentients being literally everywhere?
>>
>>50733554
The Sentients actually have a limit there. Using the void to travel faster than light renders them incapable of of reproducing. They were sent out slowboating it at non-FTL speeds as a sort of trial to test the viability of interstellar colonization with no risk to people and minimal investment of resources.
>>
>>50733540
>You mean apart from the tenno zipping around Sol more or less instantly?

Interplanetary travel seems to be done via 'solar rails', not unlike mass effect's mass relays, albeit with a smaller scale.

That being said, either tenno craft are /that fucking sneaky/ that they can pass unseen through such obvious chokepoints, or they have some alternate form of speedy travel.
>>
>>50733540
>You mean apart from the tenno zipping around Sol more or less instantly?

To us or in universe? Even at sub-light speed you can get pretty fast around a solar system.

>the Sentients being sent out to set up other systems for colonization but coming back to invade?

I thought it was just the Tau system. And interstellar travel is possible without FTL. Seeing that they sent machines first with the goal of terraforming the place, could indicate it wasn't like travelling there with some humans overseeing the process was akin to a few weeks on a construction project before catching a flight home.

>devs have mentioned on their live stream their intention to add more systems to explore.

Ok, speculation time, based on the intention of devs adding more systems to the game, what does this mean in terms of FTL in the Warframe universe? Riddle me that, because right now we don't have a clear answer. Is it just free flying generic scifi FTL or something like worm holes or portals connected to each other, meaning that you can only have FTL if both ends have an FTL station, and to get a station to a new location means sub-light travel here. We don't know.

It's all speculation until we have actual lore explaining it all, no matter how much the devs assure as we'll get more systems. That doesn't answer the FTL question.

>that mean with also get to limit the 40k stuff to the stuff found in their games too

>I tried to catch my breath and speak, “The crossing to the Tau system is perilous. Adaptation and replication are the only way a terraforming journey can be made. They will build an interstellar rail as they travel, they will adapt to the host planet and prepare it for our arrival. They will save you.”

>“The Void is poison to them. Once they have reached Tau they will be marooned there. To travel the rail here would destroy them. Whatever the risks, the Origin system will be-”

From the detron crewman synthesis lore snippet.

tl;dr they use off-brand Mass Relays that fire you through the Void rather than having Eezo fuckery to drop your mass and launch you at notable fractions of C.
>>
>>50733643
They have "void masking", which is only seen on screen once, and seems to just makes them nearly invisible.

Given the name, and appearance, we'd assume that in generic science fiction terms they are routing external light through the setting's hyperspace as it reaches the hull, preventing EM sensors from ever interacting with them.

The tenno just fly right up to the solar rails, and activate them using their old orokin protocols. The grineer can't actually control solar rails, but to exert transit controls, they just blockade the things to stop you getting close, and then let you through once you display a valid pass. Since the blockade can't see the Tenno ship, they don't get stopped at customs.

They also mention that at extremely close range the absolute cutting edge sensors of the setting can see them, which I imagine they could do by detecting the change in distance between two points as the Tenno craft passes between them. They also seem to be able to, very inconsistently, have their presence detected in a general sense by certain grineer transport authorities in charge of large scale hyperspace infrastructure.

So we'd intuit from this that if we go with Void ~~ Warp, psykers may be able to tell when a Tenno ship is near when it's relatively close, and find the thing if it's right in front of them, but not well enough to target shipboard weapons at firing ranges.

That's assuming they'd ever get to an Imperial ship in the first place, since if the Imperium doesn't constantly fly to their system(s), the only alternative is to travel across interstellar space at sub-light speeds to reach the nearest Imperial system with active ships to hop onto, and even then you're only limited to where the ships take you.

>>50734317
You don't make friends with the Imperium by outsourcing yourself to the enemy. And Rogue Traders aren't as hard to track as Tenno. Also, very few Rogue Traders are free enough for the needs of the Tenno and ones that are probably have enough wealth to make turning traitor hard to do.
>>
>>50732864

In game, Tenno travel from one planet to another mainly by Junctions. I'm not sure there is a real 40K equivalent. Think of the Relays from Mass Effect or maybe the Webway. Before that an orbiter could travel from place to place basically instantly provided they have been there before. But they only exist around Sol and the technology for making most Orokin tech is lost. Not that it can't be recovered, the Tennos main motivation is recovering Orokin tech, it just requires a fuckload of effort, and resources.
>>
>>50734341
I mean honestly by 40k lore standard if the tenno were totally control of a system for a few thousand years after taking it from the imperium that is not abnormal and is several times as long as the warframe timeline

any scenario not involving the imperium having meta knowledge of the tenno would result in them being "spooky xeno race thats not even worth going after because the system is dead number 1469"

the imperium lost a planet to one immortal dude with two chainswords

I know thats a bad example but still bud,NOT EVERY 40k SCENARIO IS APOCALYPTIC WAR

why doesnt the imperium go murderate the rak gol? they only attack in small numbers yet control system sized areas. attacking in small units eventually killing every single person on the ship just like the tenno would. Its apparent they eventually even kill entire worlds.

They are all that scary compared to demons, space marines can fight them just like a space marine would rip a fucking tenno in half if he got his hands on one, but there are still reasons the imperium cannot bring war to them. The planets they inhabit are shit, the area they are in is hard to reach, they are hard to track, there is nothing known about where they come from and a myriad of other reasons. There are several instances of this in 40k.
>>
>>50734341
That assumes the Tenno just try to destory as much as possible. Their schtick is creating balance.

Even if their own ships aren't capable of moving from system to system, I do feel like it's likely that they'd be able to hitch a ride on the ships of other factions..
>>
>>50734391
Do note that even for Warframe, Tenno basically woke up sometime not too long ago. Having since been in hiding/sleeping. Currently they are in the middle of finding out exactly what the fuck went sideways and "How do I get back into my house sitting in an alternate dimension, I lost my keys."

Expanding beyond Sol for the Tenno is probably along the lines of them rediscovering how they traveled around before shit went sideways.
>>
>>50734522
>like a space marine would rip a fucking tenno in half if he got his hands on one
This is probably true but I think a squad of Tenno might be ably to take down a space if they got the drop on him. It wouldn't be easy for them but if they caught him with one of the crazier disabling powers they might take him out before he recovers.
>>
>>50734522
>immortal

Where as the Tenno are not, you can break one and the operator has to get a new frame to pilot. And during that time the Imperium has time to consolidate lost ground.

Also, have Tenno actually fought a proper ground war. Running around inside a ship and stabbing sailors or solid snaking a base are very different from running across a field in full machine gun and artillery fire.

>rak gol

Ask FFG, they're the ones who came up with them.

>There are several instances of this in 40k.

And how many of those races are a viable threat to the Imperium?

>>50734522
Depends on the frame.The tankier frames are rather durable, and normal durability aside they do got personal shields as well as whatever abilities the frame has.

That is even assuming the SM catches the Tenno, as they are nimble motherfuckers. Also destroying one only costs some resources and the time it takes to print out a new frame and weapons.
>>
>>50734599
one tenno could kill one space marine in my opinion and the reverse is also true. tenno can demonstrably lift hundreds of pounds, they are made of metal and can jump 50 feet, that implies great strength, they would sink a blade into a space marine just like a dark eldar can. But I think space marines would be the most dangerous close combatants the tenno have ever faced and a 1v1 fight would end the second the tenno made any mistake. The question would be how the marines would react to the tenno being so fast yet strong enough to essentially operate anti- tank tier weapons on the move.

And there's no real motivation to expand outside of the Sol system since, in the best scenario, they manage to stop the sentients, push back the grineer and convert the corpus. The first thing they'd do would be rebuilding the whole system.

>>
>>50724937
The Imperium would struggle to deal with the Tenno. At worst, the Tenno would have been, caused catastrophic damage, then gone before they can get anything meaty enough there to catch them.

At best, the Tenno intercept/are intercepted by a DeathWatch squad. That would be a good fight. I love both settings, but I'm slowly leaning towards the Tenno winning that one. Far more flexible powers that are certainly psyker level. I doubt most marines could even catch the tenno if they decide to leave.

Also, the death of a Tenno doesn't actually kill it. The frames are all remote controlled. The death of a marine is a hard knock to the chapter.

Let's see some Tenno issue duels of swords and songs to Eldar, Deldar, Necrons and possibly Tau.
>>
>>50735011
I said they would dominate a system not a war, small kabals of dark eldar control primitive systems, I even immediately conceded in my first post that in the long run imperium would wipe tenno away if they really needed to

>>
>>50724937

Let's set some facts straight, since the usual fa/tg/uy may not be familiar with the setting:

>Space ninjas, they are ancient warriors created to destroy a race of sentient AIs that were defeating the setting's precursor race by adapting to their advanced technology. The tennos won by a mix of martial expertise with rudimentary weapons and psychic powers.

>There are no drawbacks to the psychic power in fluff and each frame as specialized power, going from the generic elemental powers to control over diferent dimensions. The frame, the suits, aren't the real tennos, the tennos are psychic children that gained their power through a spaceship accident in their "null-space" the void. The Void isn't a Warp analogue because several people have gone through it, including the warframes themselves, without going mad, but It's a highly radioactive and unstable space and humans shouldn't go there without protection. Tennos used to be fully humans, but the accident in the void gave them powers and made the adults in the ship go mad.

>Highly versatiles and skilled, but lacking in war resources. Each tenno has a personal ship, but they aren't made for combat, they are built for stealth. Tennos are pretty weak in space combat and have to rely on basically space jetpacks to fight space ships.

>Since they are apt fighters, they can easily deflect bullets, stop missiles, slice highly armored enemies, etc.

>They adapt quickly. Each tenno clan has research labs and they reverse-engineer several weapons from enemy factions.

>Immune to the setting's deadly virus. There is enough info in the lore to imply they are, at least, partially made with infested tissue, hence their immunity to it.

>Bribable, they will take money to side with different factions, BUT they are loyal to their main operator, Lotus, above all the other factions. At least, so far.

>Most Frames can be produced with simple resources in-universe, but they don't seem to respond unless connected to a Tenno. Alad V, one of the villians of the setting, has stated to have dissected several frames, but their insides don't have much to work with in terms of how they manage to do what they do.

>The enemy factions are clearly stated to be too strong to be tackled head-on. They have enough resources to manage a solar system with ease and implied to have control over other systems outside the Sol system.

The framesuits don't have actual faces yet. They expanded on the story and Tennos are actually psychi children that were kept hidden in the moon and operated the warframes in their dreams.

We've had potatokids for a while now.
>>
>>50735240

They would certainly try. But that also came with the counter-point that the enemy factions in the game also started to step up their game and develop weapons inspired by other enemy factions.

For example, the ballistic weapon focused faction, the Grineer, started trying to make beam based weapons after the Tennos started using beam weapons they reverse-engineered from the Corpus, another faction, on them.

The Tenno adaptability is starting an arms race in the their setting.

That's an odd way to spell Sargas Ruk.

If the way the players act in the game is any indication. A lot of very powerful Tenno would defect before the Lotus could prove she has their best interest in mind. Her cryptic bullshit isn't as appealing as "YOU ARE A MIGHTY WARRIOR, WE COULD USE SOMEONE LIKE YOU!" I could see a LOT of Tenno working for Rouge Traders.
>>
>>50735261

That was the first time they went in and they were stranded. Several other characters from other factions have been shown to go in the void with no drawbacks.

The madness was mostly caused by panic and the fact that the Orokin, the precursor race, were dicks and they weren't going to save them anyways. That plus the radiation made them mad, not the inherent aspect of the void itself.
>>
>>50735113
The Bribable part is probably the most important thing here i think. It's far from implausible that there could be a rather wealthy and radical faction within the Imperium's ranks, probably mostly inquisitors with a few pet rogue traders, that would absolutely love to have a bunch of space ninjas to sick on the Imperium's enemies.

Though they may not tempt all the Tenno to their side should the other factions of 40k catch wind of the Tenno's existence and make them offers.
>>
>>50735305
The tenno wont defect from eachother even if they do from the lotus methinks, even the conclave is stated to just be training.
>>
>>50735302

No, they don't but that aspect isn't really touched upon on the Lore itself. It can be argued if you discuss game mechanics as part of the fluff.

Vandal weapons are weapons that were modified by tennos from original enemy designs that were straight up improve upon by the Tennos.

Endo is also a pretty new game mechanic and it isn't clear yet if Endo is just a game abstraction for void energy or energy in general.
>>
>>50735327
Didn't the whole Conclave stuff turn out to be Teshin preparing you for the inevitable fight with him?
>>
>>50735339
I've not played in a while.

The fuck is Endo?
>>
>>50735321

Tenno's aren't a single community. AND they will not take bribes if the Lotus, their main operator, say no.

They took the role of the balance keepers in the game's political conflict, so many times the Lotus allows the Tennos to pick which side they think would be better.
>>
>>50735306
Warp itself doesn't make you go mad either. Teleportation goes through the warp and people emerged to the other side just fine. You got people spending time in the warp on daemon worlds, Eye of Terror, ships that have lost their Gellar fields, or just the likes of Draigo.

It's more often either daemon or the vast oceans of emotions that psykers can tap into that do a number on you if you can't fight them back.
>>
>>50735352
remember the system for upgrading mods, with fusion cores and duplicate mods and the like?

It's all endo now. Fusion cores got converted to equivalent amounts of endo, rather than fusing mods into other mods you now melt mods into endo.
>>
>>50735346

Yes and no. Tenshi was aware that someone could find the way the Orokin used to control him, so that was part of it, but it's also that the Sentients can quickly adapt to technology, so the super guns you can make aren't that useful by themselvs, so skills are more important to beat the Sentients than maxed out equipment, hence the training aspect.
>>
>>50735339
I see. I suppose the tenno are bound to make better versions of mass produced weapons anyway as part of their design is to be easy to make rather than being as well made as possible.

I remember somewhere the lotus being surprised about someone other than the tenno using forma but I cant find it
>>
>>50735370

No demons in this setting or emotions attached to the Void. It's stated to just be a weird space with unknown aspects.

The Corpus have a religion that says the Void is sentient, but nothing proven so far and the only preacher of that religion we've seen so far is considered a huge scammer in-game.
>>
>>50735327
Clans can be pitted against clans for the sake of territory. The one thing we haven't really seen is a Tenno trying to actually kill another Tennos main body. I don't think that's impossible, it just isn't how they do business.

As long as a Tenno is safely tucked away in their Orbiter or hidden in The Void, they are effectively a free agent.
>>
>>50735370
They have similarities and I personally think the void was inspired by the warp

But the warp is to the void like a black raging ocean is to a mist shrouded pool. They are on totally different levels, the one is actually inherently evil and the other is not. You can play with void energy without going fuckmad and exploding demons, this is not the case with warp energy unless you are a total badass.

>>50735408

Clan fights were phased out long ago, though. We don't know if DE retconned that away because they started pushin the conclave as the PvP mode of the game now.

This. The factions would be more worried if you started messing with the technocyte virus than with void related stuff.

Originally the dark sector PvP was switched off until conclave 2.0 was sufficiently balanced to turn it back on.

If there's been any further official statements on the matter, I am unaware of them, but the dark sectors are still clan-owned, though the taxes are locked at 0%

I get it, but the void doesn't have anything living in it or any aspect that would specifically cause mental damage that was shown so far.

In fact, the Void used to the tenno's safe space, since it's tough to be mapped out and the new enemy faction, the sentients, straight up couldn't enter the void.
>>
>>50735462

Eh, we'll see if DE gets back to it. They tought Lunaro was a higher priority than PvP Dark Sectors, so it may take some time.

The new quests really don't touch more on clan disputes or any type of Tenno disagreements. They are giving more focus to syndicates as inter-faction disputes.

I've honestly given up on it entirely.

All I ever do is either jump around in the Liset or grind for more shit. All you do in the game is grind and grind, and last I played there wasn't any good endgame beyond that.

By the time I got back into it they had done so much shit to it that the game turned into your typical Korean MMORPG. Endless grind and a ton of complicated bullshit on top of a design structure that's a mess from the get-go.

>>
>>50736890
Hmm, interesting. The composition of warframes haven't been 100% explained though they have official noted as have "Bio-Metal exoskeletons". This is notable similar to the "technocyte" nano virus (a nano plague that turns everything it infects, be it organic creatures or space ships, into horrible amalgamations of metallic flesh). One of the theories is they are a mix of cloned flesh or substance based off the technocyte and cybernetics.They have also been shown to possibly have some capacity to act somewhat independently.

Could be but I doubt they would use just any shlub off the street. And cloning is quite available so if that is supposed to be "material" for a warframe it's probably a high quality clone. If the Rhino Prime Codex is any indication they might be based off the tenno them selves.

they might need top notch genetic material, and what's better than a perfectly preserved human from the orokin era. there's not really many other reasons why four tenno would so viciously defend a cryopod, and why their enemies would attack so viciously to try and deny it to them

Assuming a "Warframe!Sol gets dropped into 40k and the warp doesn't automatically lolchaos everything because 40k wins" scenario, I figure it would go a lot like the Imperium finding a lost human system, with a lot of 'is this heresy?' and 'wait you understand how this shit works? Lemme get mars on the line.'

For the tenno specifically, they'd pick up on the whole tenno boogieman stuff while talking with the corpus (undecided on if they'd write off the grineer as a nonviable mutation or decide 'hey, clone soldiers, yeah we could use more meat for the grinder'). Assuming the tenno don't stay clear of the imperium, eventually they'd manage to get a frame to cut into, realize there isn't anything they understand in there, and go OH FUCK MEN OF IRON. From there it's a kill on sight order unless/until a tenno is brave/foolish enough to personally make an appearance to argue their case. How things go from there could pick any number of directions, from 'burn the witch' to 'holy hell how heretekal' or 'so you're psykers focused on puppeting purpose-built bodies? I guess that's not too horrible'

The idea of some fucked up warcrime levels of bioengineering and human experimentation to fight the machines in the past would have worked just fine.

Some have walked these desolate worlds while you have slept. Some like me. I remember what you did. I remember the day.

The Tenno appeared at the Terminus, gleaming and victorious. Our cold and gold Emperors, breathless, bathed you in savior's silk. Then came the sound. Across all our worlds, all at once, the ceremonial Naga drums. A royal salute to the honored Tenno. Ten solemn beats to declare the suffering was over. I watched from a distance, with the rest of the low Guardians. With each beat terror began to crush my throat. The Tenno were not stoic and silent. They were waiting. They were poised. I tried to call out but only a strangled whisper escaped.

When the ninth beat rang a torrent of blood filled the stadium, loosed by Tenno blades. The drums, the Empire, fell silent forever.

Dude, Bioshock was not exactly a shining beacon of good gameplay. It was a very beautiful and atmospheric game, but the gunplay was laughably bad.
I'm actually surprised that they were involved with UT.

Though, it's kind of disturbing that they worked on the *original* Bioshock. This implies that a shitload of people who were bad at gameplay switched from Bioshock to Warframe, but that there's also enough left at the Bioshock studio to make Bioshock Infinite's even worse gameplay.

Are they breeding anti-talent or something?


Also, I just felt reminded that Dark Sector exists. Maybe I should finally play it, now that I know that widescreen cuts off the UI.

As of War Within they're basically body-snatching gene-crafting sith shitheads.
>>
Here's how it goes:

Tenno are all but unmatched by 90% of what exists in 40K, able to slice and dice their way through mostly anything that comes their way. An Officio Assassinorum killteam or a Solitaire would be able to tag one, but other than that only certain special characters are going to give them a challenge.

However, and this is the really important thing, they're essentially just mercenaries. Estranged from the Sol System and their enemies there, only two things drive the Tenno - reputation and potatoes. They wouldn't make a concerted offensive against any of the factions unless they absolutely had to.

The galaxy is big. By en large, they could go pretty much unnoticed. Tenno would sell their services to whoever, and you know plenty of Planetary Governors would hire them, because most Planetary Governors are corrupt shitheads who only care about their loyalty to the Imperium - or their loyalty to anything - when the Inquisition is watching. Some would draw attention from the Ordo Xenos, maybe the Ordo Hereticus, but these would be isolated incidents.

It's very possible that some Operators might even just settle down to build a life for themselves in a remote corner of the galaxy, only returning when Lotus promises mad potato harvests for fighting the latest Black Crusade.

Who in the 40k universe can produce the most potatoes and platinum?

Hmmm.

The Imperium has the edge when it comes to sheer breadth of industry and agriculture.

Eldar and Deldar can probably alchemize up platinum in vast amounts, on demand, via their insane technology. Necrons too.
>>
>>50742189
The Tenno do also fight for other resources, credits, rep and other special rewards, so there's more than just the favorite currency rewards that would interest the 10o.
>>
>>50743153
Those aren't as funny through.

It's better if the Inquisition come to know the Tenno as a mysterious race of elusive, potato-obsessed xenos.
>>
>>50743452
I find the idea of the Tau trying to bring the Tenno into the Greater Good, only for a permanent position to e rejected flatly and the Tenno to demand plat and potatoes for their services, and then the Tau being baffled when shown what a potato is to a Tenno.
>>
>>50743547
I feel like whoever delivers the right potatoes first will win the tenno wars
>>
>>50743620
Although I'm doubtful that any faction will end up figuring out potatoes.

Hell I'm pretty sure the ones the other factions hand out are from stockpiles they've gathered.
>>
>>50732342
I always found the similarities between the Orokin, Grineer and Corpus themes and design funnily familar to pre-AoS humans, IG/Space Marines/Thunder Warriors and AdMech.
It kinda fits well
>>
I feel like the imperium could easily defeat or distract thetenno by dumping shipfulls of potatoes into deathworlds or warpstorms.

I think the colours would look cartoony after they've been put through 3D artists's hands.
>>
So aside from whatever fights the 10o might get into, how well would they get along with the other 40k factions when they aren't monetarily incentivised to ruin their days?
>>
>>50744288
Do they do anything besides farm potatoes and go fast?
They would get along with orks and dark eldar, as they also appreciate going fast.
>>
>>50744343
They shoot and hit things while going fast.

Also they farm other materials.
>>
>>50744429
>Also they farm other materials.

Mostly to make potatoes with.
>>
>>50744522
and given that the 40k factions are unlikely to be able to make potatoes, the Tenno would probably be working for those along with whatever faction-unique tech the factions would be willing to cough up for the Tenno's services.

Wonder if the Tenno could make use of Wraithbone...
>>
>>50744555
Consideting that the Tenno have research labs, i imahine they'd have a field day with the new inspiration from the various pieces of tech they acquire frum the warhammer galaxy, including wraithbone and even Tyranid bioweaponry.
Their main focus will always be Orokin tech though, it's proven to be at the archaeotech level with few of the downsides that their Imperium counterparts have.

Although, I wonder how Imperial Archaeotech stacks up to Orokin technology. I suspect that this is another point where warhammer trumps warframe. Even if Orokin technology is the fanciest.
Oh god, i just thought. How many Rogue Traders are going to fight over the stylish white and gold orokin shinies?
>>
>>50744891
>wraithbone

Not much they can do with that since they're not psykers. That's why DE don't use wraithbone either.
>>
>>50744891
Well, remember, even at the height of the Dark Age of Technology humans didn't stack up to Eldar tech-wise.

They were probably about as advanced as Dark Eldar are today.

The true technological superpowers of 40K's ancient past are the Eldar Empire and the Necron Dynasties.

That's... actually kind of how the tenno were treated by the orokin. Sure on the operator end they are kid, but they are kind of twisted, emotionally scared child soldiers. The warframes are all what you said and possibly more.

To this day, i still don't understand who the fuck that was.
>>
>>50745799
It's told from the point of a researcher working for the Orokin back around the time of The Great War with the Sentients. The "morgue" was actually a cryo-sleep facility to hold the children of the Zariman. The "beast" was clearly the prototype that would become Rhino. The reason it just stops is because it's brought in close proximity to the Zariman children and one of them takes control of it.
>>
>>50745261
Depends. If the Void is the same stuff as the warp/chaos, Wraitbone is overkill.

>>50744891
>Tyranid bioweaponry
Never cross the streams. I'd hate to have tcyte and Tyranids in the same universe even.
Though the imperium would greatly profit from Cryotic. Hyperefficient coolant for energy weapons? Yes please.
Also most Orokin era tech might be on par/subpar to archeotech, but voidtech specifically is prettyhardcore. Neural Sentrys are tough shit and technology that works in 'a hellspace where our reason fails us' and might channel it's power against enemies is utter gold.
Also ScindoP/Galatine with an additional forcefield generator, gentlemen. Welcome to the horror show.

I was more going with the "the two universes are separate with their own rules" argument.

An interesting point, because the Sentients (rebelling machine organisms) kept jacking all of the Orokins really hightech shit and using it against them they had to switch to "simpler" designs. I don't think we've yet to see their really high end shit yet. How it might measure up to 40k archeotech is still a mystery. The tech based of void fuckery is kind crazy. (What the fuck does the void to to physics that makes Argon want to form into crystal structures?!)
>Also ScindoP/Galatine with an additional forcefield generator, gentlemen. Welcome to the horror show.
What do you think the mods for weapons are?
>>
>>50746096
>Makes Argon want to form into Crystal structures?!
Maybe this is the atomar equivalent of curling up to a ball and crying.

Also the implication of forcefield generators and damage mods is horrifying. Mostly because the imperial version is damn energy efficient and combining that with the Tenno version... still yikes.
>>
>>50746358
I'm not sure the two would be compatible since the ones the tenno use are probably powered by reality fucking void energies.
>>
>>50746419
The 10o could probably make it work thanks to their research labs.
>>
>>50736825
The Imperium isn't big on that sort of thing, some radical inquisitors might do it but i suspect because they wont "know" what the Tenno are they will assume its heretical and be pretty much fully opposed to them.
>>
>>50747196
Yeah Radicals would probably fucking love to hire Tenno. A squad of Tenno working in exchange for some goodies would be well worth the financial cost given that a whole squad of Tenno would be at the very minimum the worth of a full Kill Team of assassins.
