New information on Men of Iron was revealed in a new Audio Drama "Perpetual". Mankind in the Dark Age of Technology was far more powerful than we could have ever dreamed.
>Omnifex Swarms, insect sized mechanical piranhas that can chew through power armor. They can strip somebody wearing power armor of both their armor and their flesh in seconds. They are extremely numerous and swarms can cover entire planets.
>Mechanvores, gigantic robots that can eat hive cities and can bite so hard that not only do they split a hive city in half, but the planet too, down to its core.
>Sunsuffers. They're rings as big as Neptune or Saturn, but able to kill stars.
Not only were these automated weapon systems used by humanity, they all turned upon humans, and humans beat them. Without psychic powers. So presumably they had even BETTER tech that wasn't automated they used to blast all this shit to kingdom come.

That's... not what happened... it was retarted but that's not it. *Took me 5 seconds on google to fact check that*

I guess that's why humans during the DaoT ruled the galaxy not the Eldar who cared more about snorting space-heroin off each others cocks.
Oh wait....
>>51401182
The only source to Eldar superiority is their own claims.
Meanwhile humanity made the same claim, and has now demonstrated military superiority in the form of having a former army of planet killing automated abominations.

The Eldar Empire was actually pretty small, just very technologically advanced and was ruled by a race more interested in sybaritic indulgence than anything else.

This is so retarded I believe BL wrote it.
>tfw Squats had all of this
ITT: loser HFY autist whose only redeeming feature is being human.
The Eldar being the rulers of the Galaxy has always been canon, and is certainly more so than a shitty Black Library novel. The Eldar were undisputed rulers of the Galaxy for 60 million years, and that has never been retconned.
The Beast Arises mentions that the Eldar fought humanity's unliving legions, and they won.

>that has never been retconned.
I can tell you're not an Imperialfag because you think that means anything to Black Library.
>>51401737
They've been there because everyone else was either uncaring, asleep, dead or too far away.

Beast Arises also goes on about how he Eldar spent that 60 million years fighting horrors and threats that made the Beast invasion (which nearly destroyed the Imperium) look downright trivial. The Cythor fiends, The Krork at the Apex of their might, and other nameless horrors, and finally, mankind's unliving legions.

If it's not supported by Rulebooks and codexes, it might as well be non-canon to me. especially when it comes to that HFY drivel modern 40k lore contains so much of.

>>Mechanvores, gigantic robots that can eat hive cities and can bite so hard that not only do they split a hive city in half, but the planet too, down to its core.
That seems grossly inefficient compared to, say, building a warp-traveling railgun 5 km long that shoots small asteroids at a planet at large fraction of C.

Sauce on the image?

>That seems grossly inefficient
When you are at the level of ability to create a gigantic robot that can bite through a planet to its very core, things like "efficiency" aren't exactly high on your list of priorities.

he does have a point Railgun-anon...
