(Bonus update in thanks for the tip from .The Lazy Pig Sleeping Lying Down.)
Although it looked as though an entire Astartes Chapter had died fighting here, which made Li Qinwu a little sad, being sad was rather difficult.
Li Qinwu could only suppress the instinctive joy welling up inside him as he collected his allies' bodies. He couldn't help it-he was making too fucking much out of this!
After scouring the place, Li Qinwu found a total of twenty-two intact Astartes corpses, eight partial corpses, and one corpse in Terminator Armour.
The Power Armor used by the Astartes was among the finest neural-linked Power Armor in the Imperium's arsenal. This haul was an absolute windfall!
What was more, he had also captured a huge quantity of weapons!
Fifteen standard-model Bolt Rifles, six Bolt Pistols, three Astartes Power Swords, six Astartes Chainswords, assorted Bolt Rounds, and assorted Melta Bombs.
Many of these weapons, along with the Power Armor the Astartes wore, were things Li Qinwu could use directly.
All he had to do was go back and use information warfare to crack the gene locks on the Boltguns and Power Armor, and he could equip them straight away!
The Power Armor Li Qinwu currently wore had all been modified from models designed for ordinary humans. Its quality certainly couldn't compare to Astartes Power Armor.
If he put on their Power Armor now, his massive build would let him cosplay an Astartes outright!
Li Qinwu kept opening Portals. Once he finished collecting the Loyalist Faction's Astartes bodies, he turned his attention to the traitor Astartes.
These traitor Astartes showed severe physical deformities. Clearly, they had spent a long time in the Warp.
Li Qinwu had no affection for these traitors to humanity, and their deeds after becoming corrupted were utterly appalling.
