This sounds way too Orky. Adeptus Mechanicus run amok?

I was thinking along the same lines, so perhaps someone at GW realized
that too.

I remember the old picture of 'Sister Sin' taking out 'Brother
Vermilion' in the old Rogue Trader. That was definitely a darker
Imperium. You can still play it that way, of course.

Thanks for the clarification - I really have very little knowledge on
the history of Epic (but absorbing more as every day goes by). If
anyone has copies of these they would be willing to photocopy or sell,
I would be willing to reimburse a reasonable amount.

I wouldn't stop you... :-)

Yes.
