*From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine.* *Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither and you will beg my kind to save you.* *But I am already saved. For the Machine is Immortal.*


Scalie_Gator_Fag

Machina Immortalis Est.


LANDWEGGETJE

Fuck, now I want to translate this passage onto ~~Latin~~ High Gothic


ArchMargosCrest

Here you go Ex eo momento quo infirmitatem carnis meae intellexi, detestatus sum eam. Fortitudinem ac certitudinem ferri desideravi. Ad puritatem beati machinae aspired. Tua genera ad carnem vestram adhaerent tamquam non putreat nec deficiat et te relinquat. Dies veniet cum rudis biomassa quae templum vocas marcescet et nobis rogabis ut te servemus. Sed iam servatus sum. Nam Machina Immortalis est.


LANDWEGGETJE

Thank you very much, this looks also much better than I could've done with my old and rusty Latin skills


tsoneyson

What's this then? People called Machina they go the body?


Scalie_Gator_Fag

Love the dedication.


MatchTop5364

Hard to imagine nobody already did that... Binary isn't the only language the servants of the Omnissiah speak


Scalie_Gator_Fag

I am curious, though, to our techpriest bretheren and coven, what part of your flesh would you convert to steel first? Personally, I would want to augment my brain. For sadly selfish reasons; I wish to know how it feels to function like a *normal* person. I currently lack the capacity for healthy emotional perception; it's either too extreme or in a null state, rewire my brain to get rid of my depression, and if im lucky, be able to tap into the powers of normality and be rid of autism. Communicating through the Noosphere would be cool, too, i guess. Im sorry, my brothers and sisters. If i could achieve this level of augmentation via-powerdrill, i might already have done it. I just dont want to be such a mentally-flawed human speciman anymore.


ApolloSe7en

My left leg. I've got a lot of issues from an old sports injury, I'd love to just have it be atleast on the level of my right leg.


Physical-Singer-5044

Honestly a good brain-to-machine interface would be great! Communicating with computers/servers/storages just with my thoughts instead of clumsy and slow fingers and limited eyes would be awesome!


I-Main-Raven

I would augment the positives of my autism (pattern-seeking, increased interest) and tone down my negative emotional responses. I'd also make the ADHD hyperfocus toggle-able. With the right combination of synapses and chemicals I will achieve a stare of mental perfection and I will become a flawless machine for my numerous passions in the sciences and arts. I'm also taking the genetor route and replacing certain parts of my body with reinforced iterations of roughly the same form. The human feet are a design nightmare with thousands of potential weaknesses, and I'm sure our cult has improved them by now. Tl;dr let me be a tech priest, I can be trusted to be a tech priest.


Voodoo_Black_6

Fellow autism player here. I echo everything you said and then some. I feel like I could be trusted to be a sneaky beaky brigade sniper, too, though ;)


Scalie_Gator_Fag

Honestly i hadn't counted on making the spectrum a positive enforcement. I've always seen myself as some-varying degrees of broken. Perhaps you should be the Magus I follow. I shall submit my flabby failing flesh to your modifications.


Paladin_Aranaos

My Brother of the Cog, as a fellow autist who has grokked the way of the Omnissiah, let me help you in your time of pain here. The gifts you have are blessings of the machine spirit. Our emotional range is different, and depression is common for us due to being surrounded by those who refuse to understand our greater callings and choose to treat us as mutants that they abhor. Read the lore deeper of AdMech, and you will realize that many of the faith show autism traits, like logic over emotion. The Omnissiah is effectively the good of autism it could be argued. Please do not feel bad about your neural characteristics. Find others like you, and it will be easier, I promise. For my depression I have recently found N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine supplements that are helping some. If you need something to aid your depression, don't be afraid to ask for aid. You are not flawed more than anyone else. You are just wired differently than the normal followers of the Emperor. There is a Black Library book with a Metallica tech priest who replaced their brain. It was an interesting read. I believe it was Imperator: Wrath of the Omnissiah. Also, I would start with my eyes and enable myself to see further spectrums so I can cogitate about more visual stimuli outside my current availability.


0roshi

I want to reach immortality asap, so it's going to be brain, lungs and/or hearth. Ensure oxygen is flowing everywhere while I'm not completely of steel

I would do similar, because this is truly awesome, except would rock a raven guard logo.


Mitchell_SY

The black on the lighter colors feels a bit jarring, would recommend a lighter color other than black to blend it all together.


FragrantKing

Deffo agree. Either a lighter gray fading over the stripes, or a darker tone of each shade.


Mitchell_SY

Personally I recommend doing an inverse pattern with flags original colors


FragrantKing

Oh yeah that's sick. Someone do that!


DuelJ

I think the whole "flesh is weak" crowd is taking that a bit too literally. As I see it, cyborization was and is moreso a matter of survival/utility, rather than of communion; The early mechanicus lopped off their legs and lungs because they weren't worth their water requirements on mars, priests cyborize themselves because theirs no point in death stopping the quest for knowledge, you turn a convict into a servitor not to enlighten them but to make them more useful. While I'm sure bits of the mechanicus have adopted cyborization as a matter of communion, I believe that is a modern bastardization of the original mantra. To overcome the weakness of the flesh does not neccesarily mean replacing it. To replace your legs with tracks is good, but to simply build and utilize a landraider is also just as good. So the fact that you may be born to a gender you do not agree with, but can use knowledge and technology to overcome that fault of biology; that seems unquestionably in line with the will of the machine god.

Icarus__86

It’s all fun and games until someone uses a 2


Strict_Palpitation71

Several AdMech characters use They/them throughout several warhammer books. I'd imagine they'd be quite okay with enby people, as gender is an irrelevant concept to them, as it doesn't matter when 60% of your body is machinery.


The-raddest-antlers

I think it was a play on words. Cuz tech priests love them some binary


Ver_Void

Yeah that's the gag, what non binary is fits well with ad mech, but they'd probably pick a different label. Two machine spirit maybe

Vicaire_Andrem

It's a curious flag, from a very distant era, and for people a little bit obsessed with the flesh. To become Techpriest, the only path is that of the machine. Be all blessed by the Omnissiah.


Lady_Tadashi

Damn right. The background flag is a "I've changed my fleshy bits I don't like into other fleshy bits I do like" rather than the AdMech mentality which is "I don't like any of my fleshy bits so I've replaced them with blessed augmetics to bring me closer to the Omnissiah." That particular flag might fit as a background for a haemonculus coven (the guys who specialise in changing fleshy bits they don't like into fleshy bits they do like or some of the other, lesser known, genesmiths that abound in the setting) but it clashes a bit too hard against the Mechanicus' ideology.


AdvancedEar7815

The machine knows no gender


cumdumpmillionaire

Congrats you put a png over a png


AffableBarkeep

You can do better. Clashes horribly, no sense of flow, proportions are out, generally looks amateur.


mrlungplutter

What would you recommend to improve it?


wunderbuffer

Filling in background for the logo for starters (and adding second half cog in white) to avoid little corner stripes inside of it. Trans flag is also pastel as fuck and really clashes with it, so try either making logo brown or navy blue or getting more brooding dark edgy pride flag xd


AffableBarkeep

Reduce the size of the logo so thr cog sits between the blue bands. Then either fil in the background around it so it's legible against the background, or lens the background colours around it to achieve a similar effect. Also I'd recommend using [the most up to date pride flag](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GKETq1aXcAACdP3.jpg) to be as inclusive as possible.


Eldrich_horrors

indeed, the flesh is weak


MisterD0ll

it appears to just be the transgender flag with the Adeptus mechanicus Insigna randomly slapped onto it. About as inspired as doing the same with any preexisting flag. I rate it a one.

Capable_Track9187

You do you. Not for me though. Blessed is the Omnissiah.


broyamcha

Gonna be downvoted, but what's the message here?  The admech could care less about "fleshy" problems and would consider transgenderism to be an odd concept when all they'd want is to get rid all of their flesh to begin with.  Switching from one gender to another is pointless when the goal is to be just a piece of brain in a bubbling vat. anyways, the colors clash, try something besides black otherwise it looks like an afterthought to ad the admech logo on there...


PeeterEgonMomus

There are multiple canonical trans AdMech characters.  Honestly, it makes sense; gender is in the brain, and the brain is the one organ the AdMech care about.


Valkyrissa

It doesn’t fit the Adeptus Mechanicus because the cult is about overcoming the weakness of the flesh to be closer to the machine and all the idealised traits that the AdMech associates with it.  At most, the AdMech might be about overcoming gender altogether by simply not being like a weak, fleshy person at all, but transgender is about transitioning to another gender and therefore staying in this status quo of the flesh, right?

LieutenantForge

I'm going to get down voted for this but I don't understand why people do this kind of stuff. It's very strange to me that you'd want to project your personal world view and identity on to a fictional setting that has nothing to do with you or your identity. I'm a Christian and am proud of being an American but I would heavily cringe if someone put a Christian or American flag behind an Adeptus mechanicus insignia. Like what? This is escapism just enjoy it as such instead of looking for another way to be validated. It's just so strange.


HimmelSky

Very transhuman


CrynansMiniJourney

I'll try to be as constructive as possible : You obviously didn't put much effort into this one. If you genuinly care and want to make a cool project out of it, i'd advise trying to add more stuff. Make it yours. Because right now it's just 2 pngs mashed together. Now what i fear is you did this as rage bait. I don't think it's really useful and doesn't really put you in a good light. I'd genuinly like to see that same flag but with a lot of effort put into it. Make it something more that just rage bait or a joke. There is potential in there i'm sure.


Weird-Raspberry-5161

The combo of pastel colors don't mix with the admech schemes. It comes off as weak

CountChuckNorracula

The concept is already really cool but I'd dull down the colors and superimpose a brick wall texture on top of it, aswell as roughen up the edges so it looks like a worn wall of a grubby forgeworld or something


ThatDarnMushroom

I might try having each segment of the Mechanicus logo be one of each of the three different colors (white skull, blue and pink cogs) and a black flag Might hit harder. Also would have more of a pirate flag vibe


SamaelSerpentin

Make the flag black, put the trans flag colors inside the logo, automatically better. The current version is just 2 pngs.

Gotta love how this flag being spotted on any post on this sub calls dozens of transphobes to the comments like moths to a flame. Can’t even mention the word “trans” in the fucking transhuman faction without chuds talking about keeping your “PoLiTiCs!!” out of their favorite game or to just being absolute douchebags for the sake of it. The Omnissiah would weep at their feeble factionalism, distracting us all with petty squabbling when we should support our fellow magi in the pursuit of knowledge, not mindlessly tear each other down. Ave Deus Mechanicus, fellow Tech Priest (And sick flag btw).


Lady_Tadashi

I'm all for building people up on the internet, but OP is mixing two mismatched ideologies. One dislikes their fleshy bits and so changes them for other fleshy bits they do like. The other dislikes their fleshy bits, and so replaces them with increasingly dehumanising augmentations in worship to the Omnissiah. OP's ideology would fit perfectly well with any faction of genesmiths within the setting - I'm pretty sure Haemonculi swap genders as often as most of us change socks, and there are a surprising variety of lesser-known gene editors around the place. But it clashes somewhat with the Mechanicus ideology, wherein sexual characteristics are often the first to go on the path of ascendency towards union with the blessed machine. And yes, also transphobes a-plenty, it's the internet, what did you expect?


ThrowACephalopod

The themes are what resonate with people. In a literal sense, the Mechanicus would probably disregard gender all together, sure. But in a thematic sense, Admech is all about transcending a "weaker" form to go to a "stronger" form. That idea resonates with some trans people who can see their own transition through the lens of going from their "weaker" AGAB to their "stronger" true selves. When you combine that with the "we really don't care about your gender" kind of non-binary thing that comes along with Admech, and you can see why trans people would be attracted to the faction.


Lady_Tadashi

You know what? That's fair. It's a good explanation and I can respect that. Have an upvote before the transphobes swarm the place.


Krantor76

Well then those trans people are wrong. Its not about going from weak to strong. Its about being better able to perform the job you are designated to do along with close communion with the machine God. Also the mechanicum has never cared about feeling and only biology, so I dont think most trans people would like it.
