    I love that Oculus is willing to use big words unselfconsciously. I have spent a fair portion of my life being told to talk at a lower grade level, to not use big, fun, interesting words. I come here to hear a reader willing to use the words he reads, as much as anything else.

    Imagine the Ultramarines working alongside the Imperial fist. Ultramarine: Isnt it a little bit risky turning hive gang members into battle brothers? Imperial fist: What do you mean risky? It's woking fine. Look at brother Jimmy, used to be a gang boss who bash people heads whith a baseball bat. Now he's a loyal marine who wack heretics in the heads with his power hammer for the emperor. Ultramarines: that's my point. He may one day disregard civilian life Imperial fist: look, we almost get wiped out once so we cant be choosy. Also, we are directly responsible to protect Holy terra. You want it getting protected or not? And dont tell me you havent accidently shoot some civies on one or two occasion.

    I feel the very best thing about Occulus' videos is the use of plausible 41 st millenium idioms; "worth one's starch rations" from this video is a great example, but I also find myself rolling my eyes now whenever anyone in a sci-fi setting uses "area" or "region" when they should, and more importantly would, say "volume."

The destruction, nah!! the decimation of hive cities are just everyday occurrences like the firing of an employee in our universe.

    Could be the classic kind of decimation, which is to execute one tenth of a population. It was a practice sometimes used as a punishment in the Roman legions. A particular legion messes up really really bad? Their commander might decide to punish them by decimation. One in every ten men is selected at random, and the rest who were not chosen must kill their former comrades or face execution themselves.

    In some games you can play Ash Waste tribals. The Ash Wastes is harsh work to survive in, the tribes out there are usually too busy just surviving to fight Underhive battles. There was tribes living even way below the Underhive, almost down by the toxic lakes. Ratskins are isolationists who barely know there is an empire out there who sometimes hire themselves out as guides to the feuding gangs.

    Deputizing gangs was a thing in Necromunda. When the authorities of the Hive really want something gone, they can deputize rival gangs to remove this threat. A mix of bounties and promises of the target gang's territory keep these deputized gangs motivated. You could play an enforcer "gang" in the game. Enforcers are blokes in carapace with shotguns who enforce the will of the current lord Helmawr. They set up fortified station-houses which they only leave in five-man patrols. They are not arbitrators, they are the goons of the Helmawrs. They are also recruited locally, from different hives on the world.
