Like everything else imperial, they want us to believe that the technology to
make anything useful is lost, like dreadnoughts, terminator armor and titans.
So how is it that 30 space wolves suits are destroyed every week in albuquerque
alone? Sometimes they talk about the loving repairs given to dreadnoughts for
the next brain to sit in... OK, so you can replace all of the arms, legs
weapons, repair multimelta damage and stick a new brain into it, but can't make
a new one?
