How do space marines retrieve used drop pods?
>>46208867
Make the guard do it
>>46208867
Dangle a chain with a hook on the end from the ship and get one of the ground side marines to hook it on.
The more technologically adept chapters like the Iron Hands use a magnet on a hyper-diamond rope.
>>46208867
Servitors and chapter-serfs.
The same way people retrieve used condoms
"After a Drop Pod is used it will remain on the battlefield until it can be retrieved by the Chapter's Techmarines, usually by use of a Thunderhawk Transporter."
According to the wiki

I don't know... but I always imagined it like this.
>>46209116
I just laughed so hard inside of a library you ass hat, I think I'm about to be asked to leave!
>>46209116
So much win!
>>46209116
Head-canon accepted without hesitation!
>>46209116
>Chapter tactics based on reusing drop pods once they hit the surface by some kind of catapult/launcher and reigniting the booster to propel it through the air.
Genius! GENIUS I SAY!
>>46208867
They just flip them around, and drop them back into the ship.
>>46209116
>>46209116
That's going into the folder!
>>46209116
We shal call this menuver stehl fling

I really want to do lewd things to that sister.

>>46210099
Me too, are we heretics?
>>46210099
>>46210468
Are we talking like... cute kind of lewd things? Or /d/ tier kind?

HERESY CONFIRMED, DEPLOYING CYCLONIC TORPEDOES FOR IMMEDIATE THREAD EXTERMINATUS
>>46210070
I love you so much /tg/
>>46210494
Since /d/ is basically Slaanesh worship, and I'm loyal to the Emporer, gonna have to go with cute l3wd
>>46208993
That seems like a lot of work.
>>46210589
a)It's really not
b)even if it was it's less work than forging new ones from scratch
>>46210565
>>46210610
But it is, considering they can only transport one drop pod at a time, because they only have one winch. That means lots of back and forth trips.
>>46210832
>That means lots of back and forth trips.
Like I said still less work than constantly making new ones. Besides I'm pretty sure they can spread flying duty around, not to mention servitors
>>46210494
cute lewd things. Like a romantic dinner and a foot massage.
>>46210656
I want to snuggle the Emperor-loving fuck out of that Sister.
With minimal lewdness.
>>46210656
10/10 would praise the Emperor whilst snuggling with her
>>46210656
I would help her make many little commissars and sisters of battle for future regiments.
They use landing craft to tow them back into orbit.
>>46211390
Do they drop pod the landing craft in?
>>46210899
>>46210974
>YFW that turns out to be a male assassin.
>>46211487
Yes.
>>46214033
Probably the same way they transport rhinos to and from the surface.
>>46214687
BruhI like it
>>46214033
But the only shapeshifting assassins are the Callidus, and they're all women.
>>46210494
...the arrangement of fetishes I have would tend me to start with mild lewd, pass through that to /khorne/ levels of lewd, then the cuddly cuddly lewd would begin as she sobs away the chemicals her brain released during the preceding phases of it's own accord.
>>46208993
sounds inefficient, but there really isn't a better way if the winch method cant be done.
still, thats the price you pay for very effective tactical INSERTION.
>>46210070
...I don't get it...
>>46210589
>>46215379
They used to have drop pods that can go back into orbit. But they have proven to be susceptible to chaos corruption for some reason.
>>46215056
>and they're all women
they're mostly women, but not entirely so
>>46208867
I imagine some more fanatical marine chapters just fly their strike cruisers so low that marines can jump out the hangar bays.
>>46215471
>they have proven to be susceptible to chaos corruption for some reason.
Maybe it was because they gave the thing teeth and an overwhelming desire to wreck shit.
>>46215964
>an overwhelming desire to wreck shit
Isn't that the norm for the Astartes.
>>46216081
yeah but they need to know when to stop wrecking shit
>>46216081
What yourself Khornate.

STEHL REIGN from Dawn of War
>>46215471
Not so much chaos corruption, exactly, they just sort of... like chaos crews more? There was something super fucking wrong with it, apparently daemons are incapable of possessing them even.
>>46209116
But how do they retrieve the slingshots?
>>46214033
>>46218370
They hook them to a mountain, hold on fast, and pull out the stops, going all "wheeeeeeee!" While they ride into space on theirs self-slinging slingshots.
>>46215056
>and they're all women
They're shapeshifters anon, how the fuck would you tell?
>>46215500
Headcanon (And logic) behind that says that the guff that lets em shapeshift works best without a Y chromosome
Kind of like how a space marine's gubbins probably NEED one to work
>>46218820
polymorphine can technically be used by anyone, women just have a higher success rate in making use of it
it's nothing like the space marine situation, which is "99% of our applicants aren't genetically compatible and will die if we try to give them a progenoid gland"
