Do you think the Imperium let the Guard have access to sex servitors like how old European navies let their sailors have sex dolls or Dutch Wives on their ships?Is that too big a luxury for a shitty guardsman? Or is this exactly the "a bullet costs more than a human life" kind of scenario where a decraniated man or woman being a lovedoll is enough of a tiny morale boost that the Imperium rubbestamps the cost?
>>96900847Sex Servitors exist for the nobility, especially if the Mechanicum gets their hand on a particularly handsome or shapely human. Common guardsmen are only allowed to jerk off to porno mags or fuck the local whores.
>>96900885Wouldn’t that just be for a private and single user servitor, though? I’m sure having one for a handful of platoons is a pretty good deal.
>>96900903>Wouldn’t that just be for a private and single user servitor, though?Yes, it would.>I’m sure having one for a handful of platoons is a pretty good deal.It's not. Servitors have value in menial labor. Pornography is cheaper than a Servitor, and if by some chance you manage to find a woman that wants to fuck you, there's a chance that kid could grow up to be a Commissar. Good for you!
>>96900847No. You might find something like that in the hive spires as an expensive custom job for an eccentric noble, but stress relief servitors are sure as shit not mass produced by the cogboys or issued by the Departmento Munitorum.
>>96900924Sex is pretty menial labor>>96900930I dunno dude. The way they make servitorship processing sound, it is totally cost effective to have one that just knows to thrust its crotch.
You just gave me a horrifying thought>Local hive city's lord is a degenerate fuck that scouts out women he fancies>He then places false accusations on the women to get them imprisoned>Those who cooperate become his personal consorts. Those who don't get turned into sex servitors.>Sex servitors who are worn down too much get dumped into the depths of the hiveI know some motherfucker here would get off to that and I regret giving them fuelwould make for a good 40k rpg hook tho
>>96900949>Sex is pretty menial laborThey're not giving the custom sex bots to grunts that are expected to die within 2-3 months of planetside deployment. If you're absolutely dead-set on imagining a scenario where sex servitors are distributed to the Guard, it would not be for the grunts. It would be for the officers, and only those with the connections to order one. Sex bots require substantially more effort to produce than your average monotask. You need to make sure their genitals work, you need to keep the skin healthy and clean, and you need to provide bespoke programming that imitates arousal. And that's ignoring the task in finding a handsome woman with all her teeth, firm breasts and clean skin.And then, what are you left with? Something that a porno-mag could've done, but better. Something that a local whore on the planet could have done. The most bloody and oppressive regime imaginable does not care if a pretty robo-whore is better than your hand. It costs more.>>96900971>You just gave me a horrifying thoughtThat's canon. All of what you said is canon. If you look at the code behind the lore, hive nobility are just... Factory owners, in the Victorian sense. It was a common trope for the degenerate factory baron to take a shine toward the pretty redhead on the floor, and entice her into his service as a slave. It's the same thing.
>>96900949The cogboys would see no value in that and consider it a waste of effort and raw materials. Someone would have to incentivice them to make a pleasure servitor. Also, servitors aren't cheap. A super basic manual labour model is about as much as a car in terms of thrones and requires maintenance by someone who is intiated into the cult.
>>96900971>both functioning and defunct sex servitors feed Slaaneshi demons with this depravity>Slaaneshi demons corrupt the slaves or the nobility and either take over the system or invite inquisitorsAs horrifying as 40k is, the threats seem to work as a regulatory force.
>>96901003>>96900994Yeah, I still don’t buy it. Even if you say it’s worth a car, real life US Army grunts get promised a hellcat for whatever reason or illusion. Pricing out sex at the cost of a motor vehicle and having a tech-priest that’s already there just wave a few servo-skulls at it for maintenance sounds totally plausible and not just some weird officers only perk. What, you gonna buy a porno mag for every guy that dies in an ork incursion?
>>96901011Eh, a pleasure servitor probably doesn't feel much, that's not really fuel for Slaanesh. Slaanesh is all about pride, excess and degeneracy. Slaaneshi cultists wouldn't like what is essentially a puppet with a bit of brain activity left, they want gigawhores hooked on turbometh.
>>96900847Fuck no. Can you imagine how much organic maintenance would be needed? A platoon of dirty troopers passing around a fleshbag that can't wipe its own ass without a techpriest's help is a retarded idea. And if you take off the coom-tinted glasses, it's a horrible idea too. Most people in the Imperium accept servitors from a distance - it's not that they don't give a shit about the lobotomite who makes uo the organic parts, they just don't think about it. Read a book about the guard and ask yourself if most of its characters would willingly run a train on a lobotomized woman. Of those who still would, many would still definitely feel fucked up afterwards. And if a fresh sexvitor isn't having many fans, then a moderately used one is going to be absolutely vile to be around. And it's not like the munitorum would replace those servitors often enough to keep the meat fresh, assuming they'd ever send replacements at all.TL;DR it's a retarded idea that only nobles can afford, and an abhorrent idea that only nobles could get away with.
>>96901033>Yeah, I still don’t buy it.Okay, I'm picking up what's going on here. You're dead-set on the fantasy of a sex-servitor being used by grunts. Normally I'd just say this is gooning and move on, but there's an easy solution to this. The Imperial Guard pacify a seditious Hive, and in the process of clearing out a noble's spire they find the sexy fuck-toys that the Lord kept around. The Cogboys will want to claim the sex servitor, but that's part of the story. This is a story, right?>>96901047Sex is also not an inherent part to Slaanesh. Sensation is. Slaanesh is big on sex because it's big on sensation, but that's child's play compared to the stuff that gets Slaanesh going. Sex is common, why would that feed Slaanesh? She Who Thirsts wants you to castrate yourself on the moment of climax, she wants you eating the breasts of the woman you're fucking, she wants you to eat each other's tongues while making out. There's so many more bits that can be used to feel than your penis.
>>96901060>Most people in the Imperium accept servitors from a distance - it's not that they don't give a shit about the lobotomite who makes uo the organic parts, they just don't think about it.This too, the most common reaction to Servitors from anyone that's not a Cog is, "I don't want to think about that." People are still people in the 41st Millennium, and how would you feel to see some maggot-fleshed cyborg shambling about with glassy eyes? People fucking hate the Mechanicum, they hate and fear it.
>>96901065Nah, not even gooning. I just think it’s cost effective and fits the grimdark of the setting, even if it’s the non-marketable side of things.In all honesty I think porn mags would probable lead to Slaanesh more than a sex servitor would. Plus I still think the cost effectiveness is there.
>>96901033Guardsmen don't get paid. You don't get the setting. Being in the guard isn't a job. They got drafted (or volunteered) and are doing their duty to the Emperor and humanity, the expected outcome is death. Those rare few who make it to retirement are usually given land on a conquered world as a reward for their service.
>>96901085>Plus I still think the cost effectiveness is there.Why would a pleasure servitor be more cost-effective than a cheap dataslate with pictures of an Administratum bitch with big tits?
I do not believe your average guardsman would want to fuck some twitching corpse with wires on its brains that's been passed around the whole regiment, and no techpriest would want to maintain that thing. Can you imagine the sheer indignity of being the guy who cleans the rotten stinking pussy of the communal meat doll? I give it half a week before the cogboy goes on a rampage and stabs everyone who's ever touched the damn thing to death and then tosses it off a cliff and to be honest even the most hardened Commissar would hesitate to shoot someone for doing this
>>96901100Is a dataslate cheap? Is it really, though? Somebody bust out a Rogue Trader manual or something, then. At this point the only thing I can think of to settle it is compare prices of a servitor versus a bunch of gizmos.
>>96900971>young tech prodigy from the underhive discovers the dumping site and manages to salvage some of the servitors>refurbishes them with spare parts and reprograms them to function as workers/bodyguard>starts making name for himslef as mercenary and bounty hunter>the servitors are surprisingly resilient, their original maker was into some rough play and spared no expenses>bad enough damage may however interfere with reprogramming and reverts the servitor back to old behavior, trying "relief master's stress", even mid-combat>option to play it as an upstanding leader of unusual team trying to do the right thing or sleazebag willing to do whatever pays best and even pimping out "the girls" for more cash whenever he's not using them himself
>>96901129It doesn't even have to be a dataslate. It can be a fucking porn magazine. Or it can be nothing, the Guardsmen can just jack off by themselves, who gives a shit if they're pent up? 90% of them are going to die anyway and the ones who live are going to have more things to worry about then sex.
>>96900847counter productivethe imperiums coin is human lifethere are women in guard corpsi've never read anything about guards women being pulled from duty for pregnancy but i dont see why they wouldn't chalk it up to a net benefit if the guardsmen end up creating more guardsmen
>>96901129>Somebody bust out a Rogue Trader manual or something, then.Mono-Task Servitor is Ŧ2500. This is a Common Quality Servitor. If you want a specialized Servitor made by, say, a Magos Artisan, you need to bump it up to Good Quality. This is x3 the price, or Ŧ7500. The common Dataslate - which is already far too expensive when compared to cheaper stuff like pulp magazines - is Ŧ25. You can buy 300 porno mags (which will be shared) for the price of a single pleasure servitor.
>>96900847why would you want to employ a servitor as a stress relief when you can simply pay a local whore much less?
>>96901146For the sake of argument, the basic Janus Simulacra costs 20,000 thrones in the Inquisitor’s Handbook.A dataslate, from what google tells me, is 25 thrones.So less than 1000 dataslates.I’m just saying that isn't too far of a stretch, especially if the sex servitor programming and conversion is cheaper than the “general task” version. All you gotta do is program it to fuck, not, you know, do taxes or whatever.
>>96901181>especially if the sex servitor programming and conversion is cheaper than the “general task” version.It's significantly more expensive, because you're asking for specialized models while the Monotask is something they pump out on the daily.
>>96901181Who's going to maintain that thing? The regimental techpriest is going to kill someone if he's asked to clean a servitor's pussy and the Mechanicus will go fucking insane if they're told to actually genuinely spend valuable resources, time and technology on... robot fleshlights for the Guard. And you just made it very clear it's a cartoonish and absurd thing to do. It's 1000 dataslates, which should be hundreds of times as expensive as a porno mag or some shit like that. A servitor isn't going to satisfy 10 guardsmen, nevermind 1000.
>>96901181>I’m just saying that isn't too far of a stretch, especially if the sex servitor programming and conversion is cheaper than the “general task” versionEconomies of scale; they have production lines for general servitors, while sex servitors are custombuilt. And the Mechanicus will riot if they're told to build fleshlight factories for the Guard.
>>96901177a robot costs the same as 300 tabloids?man this setting is weird given how usefull a robot would be but thats somehow less distopian than reality.
>>96901214>a robot costs the same as 300 tabloids?300 iPads, yes. Porno mags are probably like, Ŧ1 if that.
>>96901214Well a dataslate is like a tablet. A decent ish tablet costs around 1/300th of a car too.
>>96901214you need to feed the robot and it will break down eventually, also it's not a robot, it's human corpse pueteered by electrostimulation
I don't know you guys but I don't think most Guardsmen are going to fuck this
>>96901234So what's stopping it from giving you several STDs if you try to fuck it?
>>96901238TO BE FAIR, the Servitors in the Eisenhorn novels are described as gorgeous, mobile statues wrought with marble into the shapes of naked maidens, capering dolphins and other such things.
>>96901248Regular maintenance washing every hole with 110% bleach concentrate?
>>96901199How is sex not monotask? Like, for real. It's basic midbrain/brainstem animal reflexes.I'm not even talking about prices anymore, a sex servitor would literally be way easier to program than any of the general servitors.
>>96901267that's another product + needed tools for the war supplies and also someone's going to need to do this task. sounds pointless when you could just hand over some porn mags for a fraction of the cost. like the other anons said cogboys would never ever ever, and i pity the poor fuck who is assigned servitor pussy cleaning duty
>>96901284>a sex servitor would literally be way easier to program than any of the general servitors.>Attractive woman>Effort to keep her skin healthy>Effort to keep her breasts and genitals functional>Unobtrusive augmetics to hide the fact she's a corpse>Program her to literally just lay back and get fuckedVs.>Pocket pussy
>>96901302Anon, the argument is that she is a pocket pussy.
>>96901316Why not just give the Guard a pocket pussy, then?
>>96901316She's an overpriced pocket pussy that requires highly specialized labor to keep alive, cosmetics to maintain its appearance and look, and also regular cleaning so it doesn't give you 200 STDs. Pointless.
>>96901249Inquisitor Lords, Planetary Governors and Rogue Traders could afford top shelf stuff. 99.99% of servitors are made to be cheap workforce with zero regards for their looks or longevity.>>96901284It likely couldn't be cheapest grade of servitor not because of task complexity, but because looks matter to some extent, not too much, the sexrvitor would need to be at least 5/10 in England, no exposed innards, no overwhelming formaldehyde stench. Which already puts it in top 0.01% of quality.
>>96901085>Making bespoke sex robots is more cost effective than doing fucking nothing.
You know, it's nice that no matter how slow 4chan gets, /tg/ can still sustain an "elf slave wat do" thread in its many permutations.
Most people in the Imperium are somewhat normal people. They believe some fucked shit and are hardcore faithboners but they don't have total contempt for their fellow human beings. Sex servitors are stuff you keep behind closed doors and it's not something you want to be caught fucking, because even in the Imperium that's crossing a line. A noble can get away with it, but it's still horrible even for them. A guardsman is going to be shocked and horrified if he sees one, likely more so if they're told they can fuck it. Whoever sticks their dick into that thing is going to be ostracized by the rest of the regiment because "oh Emperor please oh fuck what the fuck is wrong with you?!" is the baseline person's stance on sex servitors.
>>96901442This. Most Imperials would look at it like fucking a toaster.
>>96901430Because this is a question that, funnily enough, has an explanation. Nobility have been noted as having "pleasure servitors," but even then it's said that fucking one is something only the most depraved do. Why? Because you shouldn't need to fuck a servitor. Guardsmen have each other, and they have local whores on the planet or the ship. Nobility live in spires of +50,000 people, all of them devoted to a family of 10-20 people. Of course there's going to be an entire floor dedicated to the harem.
>>96901292Forget even the porn mags, GW won't spell this out because Brits have long tradition of sweeping these things under the rug, but troops can just source stress relief from local population, or receive it from troops put on penance duty.
>>96901479Or bully each other into giving it.
>>96901479>GW won't spell this out because Brits have long tradition of sweeping these things under the rugDon't they spell it out in the Gaunt's Ghosts novel? They even get into a bar-fight with the locals.
>>96901492Archon of Flesh, NO!
>>96901469That's great and all, but what does that have to do with the classic "elf slave wat do" threads? That's in-setting stuff, not /tg/ culture.
>>96901442Yeah it's just straight up necrophilia, the answer to some guardsmen being pent up is never going to be "dig up a corpse ), animate it with electricity and have them fuck it" in any regiment that isn't flat out Chaos corrupted. That shit's disgusting.
>>96901430I'd say this one is somewhere between sexbots and necrophilia.
>>96901513>but what does that have to do with the classic "elf slave wat do" threads?I dunno, because it was described as an Elf Slave Wat Do here >>96901430 and I wanted to explain how, yes, this topic can be discussed without devolving into name-calling or goonery.
>>96901522I see. You're talking about the content of the thread, not the board culture. Which makes sense given the topic is still going and having people talk about it.
>>96901545Sure, it's a good enough thread and the people talking within it are knowledgeable of the topic on-hand.
What about the mindbroken companies stuck in hellholes that are so jaded and anesthetized that porn does nothing, there are no more whores around or non traumatized other guardsmen to fuck one another, but actually fucking another human(even if it is a servitor) is therapeutic and proves to improve combat efficacy?
>>96900847Consider the following: there are sex servitors, but imperials get them from Dark Eldar. Dark Eldar oblige because it's actually a reverse servitor, they're fully concious but incapable of resisting and the imperials don't even realize that's the case. Since they think it's a "normal servitor" they subject it to every sort of depravity that strikes their fancy, safe in the knowledge that it doesn't "feel" anything. For additional horror, those humans that can't make their payments on time get to become the next batch of "servitors" and find out far too late what the real deal was just for extra depravity.
>>96901591They can fuck each other if they want it so bad.
>>96901599Now why would the Imperium buy servitors off of Dark Eldar?
>>96901591Companies that are this deep in the muck won't have the supply lines to get high-quality artisanal sex robots.
>>96901617Lol
>>96901622Dark Eldar are just Unseelie Fey. They steal children and live in a twilight realm to feed of negative emotions. That's just Unseelie Fey. I could see a noble making a deal with Dark Eldar (as per the Dominate in Only War) who give them Changelings, or like... Fucked up altered humans.
>>96901622Because the cogboys won't provide them and a randy noble has needs and Deldar know how to be discreet when they want to.
>>96901623Who said they had to be high-quality?
>>96901599Another shipment of goods from Archon Asa Nagi? Of course we will take the whole lot, payment's ready and please do send our heartfelt regards.
>>96901652>and a randy noble has needsNobles have entire cities devoted to satisfying their desires. And I don't mean the Hive, I mean their spires are cities unto themselves with entire communities whose sole purpose is maintaining the livelihood of their noble family. If you can't find a blonde teen with J cups I don't know what to say.
>>96901671You average imperial noble is centuries old and your average midwestern blond with j cups probably doesn't do it for them anymore. They're ridiculous decandent and extravagent, having custom made taboo shit is right up their alley. Anything they can get on their own world by siply taking it would be dreadfully dull at a dinner party.
>>96901671Well hey now, a pretty blonde with J cups is kind of hard to find even in a mid-sized city.
>>96901145lol prima dolls in 40k
>>96901697>>96901701>The Noble conducts casting couch interviews in the Mid-Hive for the most unconventionally attractive woman in the city
>>96900971Reminds me of Juurin no Ame
>>96901065>Sex is also not an inherent part to Slaanesh.Yes it is. You just need excessive amounts of it.. and once that's sated, then it moves to the next level. >Sex is commonSo Slaanesh demands chastity, edging and inceldom>She Who Thirsts wants you to castrate yourself on the moment of climaxOnly if that was already your desire, to some extent. Slaanesh is like an addiction spiral. Without suicidal / self-destructive ideation, such things will not occur. Otherwise all slaaneshi cultists and champions would be the same. Some are into conquest and associated rape, humiliation etc. And they can loop that for thousands of years before change occurs, because the situation is limited by external factors. N'Kari is that way.
i think that captured eldar should be turned into sex servitors
>>96902121Genuine question, what does Slaanesh do if your genuine desire, even in the deepest darkest parts of your soul, is hand holding and monogomous sex in the missionary position strictly for the purpose of procreation like God intended? Does he throw a wholesome daemonette at you that embodies the fetish or does he just give up?
>>96900971>accusationsBro, he can just have his men snag people off the street and disappear them. There's no need for a paper trail and let people know where she disappeared to.
>>96902182>Does he throw a wholesome daemonette at you that embodies the fetish or does he just give up?YES!And then you have a million kids!
>>96902182How much pleasure does it give you?
>>96902208A lot, nothing is hotter than a woman bloated with your own seed and carrying your offspring.
>>96902206ND, pls.
>>96902182I know it's not exactly what you mean, but Syll'Esske is a thing. I'm not an AoSfag, so I'm not 100% on the fluff, but didn't these two have a bizarrely (for Slaanesh) close and cooperative relationship with each other? So much so that the dude went on the warpath when his daemonette got soul grinder-afied. Slaanesh found that shit funny enough to elevate them as a symbiotic daemon prince so they could fuck with the other Slaaneshi followers/daemonettes who fucked with them for being so close.
>>96901085>not even gooningNobody believes this, not even you do.
>>96902182He corrupts you, because he's not a wish granting fairy, but a malevolent evil god.
>>96902229Ehhh, that's probably where the corruption part goes in. Your loving wife will be bloated alright, but bloated with a thousand mutant hellspawn chuckies with their faces pressed onto her stomach from the inside leering at you, all 1000 of those kids in her belly at one time like a skaven broodmother.
>>96902121I'm the anon you're responding to and I do agree with what you're saying, but I'm just very leery of focusing on the "heh sex" parts of Slaanesh because it's so much more than that. Constantly focusing on the sex tends to pigeonhole what is a very fascinating Chaos God because of how many ways their obsessions can manifest.
>>96902546NuGW is already covering all the bases for the "other" parts of excess(because I sure do love hearing about how much one of these losers loves eating, or learning bladecraft to be the best, or the rapture of music or fucking whatever else) so having some focus on the actual sex part now that it's shunted into the basement is pretty okay.
>>96900971>would make for a good 40k rpg hook thoDefinitely stealing that idea for a plot hook.
you just know
>>96902859Missing a cup holder from top of the head.But in all seriousness, these things freak me the fuck out. Like, in-universe, who the fuck would want one of those over, say, just someone with their full head, even if the brain is removed? Give them a Geordi visor if you can't keep the eyes (or give them implants). The whole missing head with the body covering ribbed condom suit makes me think they were intentionally designed to be the least appearing slave labour possible. Like "we need to show the world is bad, but we can't make them appealing in any way to not appeal to the male gays" or something.
Reminds me of the ones made tranquil in DAO too. Fucked up because it's supposedly done to those who fail the test to keep demons out of their mind but you just know all the attractive women and men taking the test are made to fail. Easy to get away with canonically because they're already a persecuted minority that the general population dislike.

>>96901177>>96901210While all of that is certainly true, you need to remember; the Imperium is prone to logistic idiocy.
>>96902230ALL THE BABIES!
>>96904152>logistic idiocy.It's no weirder than shipping minerals from Africa to China where they get made into screws and then ship those to, say, Sweden. Rather than have it all made in Sweden. You'd also think paper magazines were more expensive than dataslates, since more often you see paper books and scrolls in the hands of high command and inquisitors, while dataslates are often treated like books for the plebs. Paper might be cheap to us, but the reason why Skitarii got wooden stocks is because wood is a limited resource on forge worlds, so it's a flex. Like having ivory grips on a pistol today.
>>96903197Congratulations on making braindead cybernetic fuckdolls attractive

>>96902365Syll'Eske is genuine love taken to excess.

That's Syll'Eske.

Well, since we’ve degenerated this far, I’m getting a sex doll torso.I was thinking about 3D printing out admech limbs, but now you guys came along with this servitor angle. Should I waste the time and spools on that first?
>>96907521Whatever builds steam in your engine, my dude...If time, space, and material were not an issue I'd go for harpy wings instead of arms and hawk-like lower legs. Then put her in feathered microbikini and keep her perched on the balcony when not in use.
>>96903060>they were intentionally designed to be the least appearing slave labour possibleI'm pretty sure that's the point of them, since they were made for a crime syndicate? The only difference between them and using a droid is the fact they're fucking horrifying to anyone that sees them, in order to dissuade anyone that might want to fuck with the owner of them.In fact, it's a lot less practical to use a half-decapitated human slave rather than a droid.
>>96902182If you are found boring, you are to be given to somebody else for their "greater desire", most likely those with a corruption fetish or worse.
>>96907659>since they were made for a crime syndicate?Yeah, wouldn't want a terrible criminals to *gasp* objectify women! Especially when said women are working in customer service among their clients. Who'd want half-naked women in golden bikinis like you're some two-bit crime boss from Tatooine?
>>96907716Presumably they have sexy slaves and horrifying slaves? And despite what some people may think, putting someone missing the top half of their head in a golden bikini is not going to make the latter into the former.They're a crime syndicate, they're about intimidation. Just look at the fucking cartels.
>>96907749>Presumably they have sexy slaves and horrifying slaves?So why aren't they serving drinks at the fancy bar, rather than this freak?>And despite what some people may think, putting someone missing the top half of their head in a golden bikini is not going to make the latter into the former.Now, what if we don't remove the top of the head...?>Just look at the fucking cartels.I'm dying for you to find photos of cartel bosses having a horrifically mutilated slave girl serving drinks at their private yacht.
>>96907573That ain't so bad. Hell, if that was the case, I would just get a full sized doll and print out an Angewoman costume and just have her stare out at the horizon from my porch.
>>96900847NahThe guardsmen just fuck eachother
>>96908844How often does this actually happen? I know the lore's been expanded that chicks have "always" been in the guard now, but is this really something that occurs on a regular basis? Without a commissar just blasting people for too much fraternizing?
>>96900971The Imperium literally doesn't give a fuck about local laws or literally almost anything the rulers of a planet do as long as they worship the Emperor within whatever vague guidelines are acceptable by whatever branch of the church rules their sector, pays the tithe, and surprises their local psyker and unacceptable mutant population. Nothing the rulers do to their people is 'illegal' they can just snatch women off the streets if they want too, no need for false accusations. Their word is law as long as they do the bare minimum requirements
>>96901504They have whores among their camp followers, and in one of the early books, bunch of them were stealing a truckful of booze and porn from a local gang.
>>96903197The problem is that each of these would cost equal the sum of the guard company's equipment. I don't care who your commisar is, he's going to take a power sword or a few new plasma guns over one of them.
>>96908944How do you think Cadians still exist? Whiteshields have been around for a while.
>>96909382>How do you think Cadians still exist?Through the indomitable human spirit.
>>96900847Why wouldn't they just give them regular whoresOther than it obviously being your fetish, what do the cyborg parts add?
>>96909590Pneumatic pussies, anon
>>96909355>each of these would cost equal the sum of the guard company's equipmentSmall price to pay to keep said company decummed and therefore focused on serving the Emperor.
>>96909590Hips that move on their own.
>>96909355>servitors, one of the more common things in the Imperium, costs more than a company's worth of weapons, ammo, gear, rations, etc.I'm pressing X on that one.
>>96910062>>96909980Man, where were you two when all these fags were saying that the commissars would rather let the enlisted have precious wood pulp image reproductions instead of super cheap servitor flesh dolls?
>>96907413Coward
>>96909355The way imperium measures worth of things might be a bit lopsided, but economics of scale should still apply - things that can be mass produced should be more affordable than things that need to be made to order. Beyond that it's material costs (human body is imperium's lowest denomination currency), and transportation costs (again should be comparable to one trooper).So the question boils down to hypothetical existence of factory worlds churning sexbots by the millions.
>>96903060Anon they're normal human women with the top of their head removed. It's to show very clearly what happened to them (because a crime syndicate would want this), not to make them unappealing. I think you're just freaking out.
>>96910491>So the question boils down to hypothetical existence of factory worlds churning sexbots by the millions.Doubtful, mostly due to the organic components.You'd need to be vat growing 7s to have the ready stock to make sexy servators out of, and if you are engineering the fleshy bits to begin with then they're not really going to need that much augmentation.
>>96910552So… it would be even cheaper? Honestly at this point these things might end up being cheaper than cherubs.
>>96909590>>96910052Better yet, there could be a small number of proper "abominable" intelligence sexbots still surviving from Dark Age of Technology, masquerading as common morale boosting servitors to keep low profile. One of those would be worth more than planet they are found one.
>>96910585Anon a servitor is not cheap. This will be twice if not more as expensive because it'll need to be 4/10 at least, not rotting and have completely different behaviour patterns then the average servitor.Also no criminals since I doubt these guys are going to be clear the bar.
>>96910546>finds the idea of a woman with half of their head missing appealing
>>96910062So you're telling me that cybernetics, warp transportation costs, and techpriest manhours is less valuable than flak armor, lasguns, fabric, and corpse starch? And you're also saying that would be cheaper than simply printing out paper magazines?
>>96910667they are made for a crime syndicate. If they are not going to care that they are being served by a brainless corpse they are not going to care that it has a chunk of its head missing. The parts they care about are the tits and the pussy, maybe the legs.
>>96910628>Anon a servitor is not cheap.Bit of an open question - how costly is a servitor anyway - presumably the controlling electronics can be mass-produced and the installation into human host should be easy enough that lowest ranking tech-priest can do it. Can the control system be just re-used when the host body dies?
>>96910705My understanding is that most of the cybernetics that are worth having are more than a little bit pre-owned.
>>96910705>presumably the controlling electronics can be mass-produced and the installation into human host should be easy enough that lowest ranking tech-priest can do itThis isn't true. A servitor requires a lobotomy, an understanding of how electricity can be used to manipulate a body and plenty of knowledge of cybernetics, and they require constant maintenance because their brains are mulch at this point. It is absolutely not something you can have any techpriest do.
>>96910727Also, a hypothetical sex servitor needs even more. The cybernetics need to be much finer and more discreet and wires can't be poking out of their guts, which also can't be exposed. It can't be bloated, misshapen or bent like they often get. It can't smell like a corpse, rot inside or stink of formaldehyde. Take a servitor and make the task thrice as complex and five times as expensive and you've got a sex servitor- there's a good reason these are usually custom jobs only nobles can afford.
