Description
A 40K idea I had a long time ago about a Forge world that got too interested in Necron tech and started dabbling in the forbidden arts of scientific innovation, several millennia before Cawl made it popular. In specific, I just wanted to draw some Imperial vehicles with Gauss weapons on them. The first craft is a light enforcement and patrol gunship, armed with a forward hardpoint, heavy ordinance hardpoint under the cockpit, 4 point-defense slots, a VLMS silo on the top and a rear gunner. It relies on conventional engines and gravitic emitters for propulsion. The other vehicle is a heavy combat automata, armed with 2 pairs of point-defense guns, 2 primary weapon hardpoints, a sponson weapon to each side of the antigrav base, plasma mortars and chaff-flare launchers. It can move very fast for its shape and size due to the oversize engines on the carapace.Warhammer 40K © Games Workshop

Great work! I always love a good renegade faction. Especially one like this. Two questions first have you ever considered what factions of the techno barbarian military's would like what vehicles would they use in such and also have you ever thought about a possible Catheric remnant throughout the Imperial possibly even being able to stage a rebellion?

Techno-barbarians: their tech and vehicles would depend on the resources and terrain of the areas they primarily operate in, as welk as what remnants of archaeotech they have at their disposal. For example, aome factions would have highly-mechanized, professionally-maintained armies with tanks, walkers and armored trains and the like while surrounding lesser tribes and warbands ride around on ramshackle armed caravans a la Mad Max since that's what they're experienced in using and maintaining.
As for Catheric remnants, no doubt some enclaves of them exist within the galaxy (Ollanius Pious was known to be one) but that woild be due to the absence of anything resemblinf universal governmental quality standards in the Imperium. It's a big empire stretched thin across a big galaxy with unreliable FTL and technophobia, there are a lot of places for them to secretly practice their faith without the Imperium knowing or caring enough to send forces for censure. I don't think that there will ever come a point where a massed Catheric (or any other religious remnants of Pre-Strife or Pre-Unification Humanity) would present a nocicible threat to the Imperium conaidering all the other threats to mostly-sane Humanity already in the galaxy as is.
