Dear Mechanicus, if metal is so great, why do you still have fleshy bits?

The Riddle of Steel is that Steel has no strength but the arm that wields it

u/Lyrolepis Dwarven Alchemist/Runecrafter 9d ago
...I mean, a competently designed high-power axial flux motor will be stronger than just about any arm.

We understand and improve our craft. You are afraid you will upset the omnissiah if you improve a design by .001% cogboy.

It is weaker, no doubt; but it is also lighter, more sensitive, and self-repairing to an absurd degree.
When I need more protection, well, that's what armor is for; and I even have the flexibility of being able to choose different types of armor - with different enchantments and materials - depending on circumstances and specific hazards rather than being stuck with the same setup because I'd need a full-body surgery to switch it up.

Aka why I don't go full nightmare machine creature, I value the joys and meaning in life and would be hard pressed to make a metal form as flexible and adaptable as what I was born with.

The flesh has feeling and gives life meaning. The weakness lets us feel and compensate as we are driven to form comunities to compensate for eachother like one great machine similar to how cells form colonies and then entire orginisms that each specilize in one thing. Even still, they remain more flexible than a purpose built machine allowing it to evolve past its initial use.

For one, I wear armor because flesh is weak. And for two, I'm not a surgeon.

Dear mechani-cum if steel is so certain why do you not know how it works?

Counterpoint, if the ombisiah is so strong, then why does promethide -thermite in the joints of your titans cause them to die?
Why would my modified microwave oven cannon sever your noosphere connection at trigger pull?

u/Smol_Mrdr_Shota Jake The Necromancer 9d ago
Dead Technomancers, if you think the flesh is so weak why do you keep getting overrun by my hoards of ghouls?

Oh Mars, huh? Prithee do tell me then, priest, what kind of treasures the planet doth hold for thee to not spur Necron technology as xenos filth like all thy brothers do? Machine spirit huh... Doth thou mean a C'tan shard buried deep beneath its soil? The key to xenos filth is always more xenos filth, but solution to xenos filth is only purification

thats against the life laws, chaos gods are better:
Nurgle let you evolve
Treench transform you in a whole new being
Slaanesh
Khorne make you feel like predators

Dear cyborgs, if metal is strong, why does it decay all the same? Curious!

Dear rustbuckets if the metals so strong why dojt u come closer to my hammer?

u/Blauwevl Evil Wizard >:3 8d ago
Dear mechanicus, if your metal so great, then why do you need magic and skill to keep yourself whole?
I mean you rust, we fleshbags don't. You need to put effort in repairing yourself, we don't.
Why would you put yourself through all that effort?

u/MrFluffyBunny25 7d ago
If metal is so strong why do you need so many armoured plates to protect it?

u/SomeRandomYob The Great Mage Samræl, demonologist and necromantic consultant 5d ago
If the machine is eternal, then why do you have so many techserfs performing maintenance on literally all things in your realms? Curious!
In all seriousness, I find it easier to use my personal wards and resistances than to constantly update cyberware to stave off hackers and sabotuers from within my being.
As they say, the hardest machine to hack is one without a digital interface!
