Isn't that the Terminator and Skynet?

Oh gawd here I go into Nerd-zone but AI isn't even banned. It's unshackled AI that is. For instance there's an extremely advanced AI that runs Titans but it is designed to be interfaced with a human mind to be engaged. Space Marine Battle Barges have AIs that interface with the bridge crew and servitors. Land Raiders have an AI that's remarkably unconstrained all things considered.

But anyways...

Its also inspired by the Dune background - where following an AI vs human war all computers are banned and replace by perfectly bred and trained human mutants (including space navigators, telepathic messengers and super soldiers) following strict religious rules set down by a number of urber powerful medieval-style sects waiting for the return of the perfect human messiah - sound familiar * ? ;)

Its also a good argument to use when sniffy historical wargamers complain that why would anyone be using tanks/swords/shotguns etc in the future ;D

* Don't get me wrong - I'm all for the inspiration/cross pollination of sci-fi ideas. Just gets my goat when GW try to claim it's their original IP in court... :{[] :D

It's not taking an epic unit to 40k - there were 40k scale robot models in the Rogue Trader days.

True but they largely disappeared from regular RT 40k in short order and IIRC were one of the victims in 2nd edition being cut (might have been 3rd, I am getting old after all). People probably were not too happy about the pseudo-workflow used to represent their programming (I personally thought that was brilliant). Epic was where they realllly seemed to shine. That graphic also was in the old epic background booklet also ;) But I totally get your point (that Rogue Trader was the shizzle, right :D )

I understand why but it's really like rubbing salt in a wound every time I see them lifting yet another unit from Epic for use in Barbie Scale 40000


Barbie Scale. Gawd I love that term.


Wait...did I post that somewhere else?


Yeah I totally lifted it from you :D


I'll take your word for it. I'm getting old, I don't remember things as well anymore.
