So how is it that i just read a black library book where main characters totally changed the feet/foot mechanism f the humble sentinel and when they presented it too the local mechanicus, they blessed it. Total redesign....or how in the same book they use (the imperial guard that is) a type of battlesuit which was not mars/forgeworld build but allowed....or how about imperial guard/navy/tech marines making combat theatre/actual combat repairs? Every heard one say "erm boss, you got a box of part X? all ours are broke", no? Exactly, they are not all nuclear scientists type boffins but they do have a understanding of various chemical/physical laws and how to harness them with technology. It's not like there is actually a machine that just turns out 'a completed land raider etc, some design and work needs doing to get their. You takes things to extremes again.

There is indeed a large difference in those two, quite apt examples and I'd hasten to add, no proper military/etc organisation likes people to tinker. Some don't mind a range of acceptable modification been added but not tinkering. So fitting a clip on sight yeah, remodling the extractor lever of your weapon, no.

Given that we have seen images of non-spec kit on imperial vehicles all over the place and personal touches, then no, I doubt a cup holder would get you staked...adding wheels to your leman russ MBT might though lol

Regarding the LR Crusader. yeah, why don't you tell me how it was made by the Black Templars for hive clearing and not 'stumbled upon under some rubbish one day'...so that needed research.

The Stalker/Hunter etc were rediscovered STCs, but they weren't issued ASAP once found, they were sent through the proving grounds etc first.

You just have to look at what kit the Mechanicus have and how much they...repress. There is a big difference to not knowing something and saying you don't or can't do something.

I bet you're so successful in life with your attitude... anyone with a different opinion to you is not to be discounted. But if you want to be blinkard, go for it. I'll expect in a few years time when you have some life experience you'll see how unbalanced and pragmatic you are and how dogmatic your ways are. Maybe the problem is you don't actually read other peoples posts to understand what they are actually saying.
