Tech: Chaos>Imperium?

[person person]

At first glance it seem that the Imperium is alot more advanced , but since the Imperium theinks certain advanced and useful tchnology like AI is heresy, and the Mecanicum is constantly just trying to find some ancient piece of STC to start manufacturing, shouldn't Chaos, with opportunity being one of its big ideas, be way more technologically advanced than the Imperium?

Well when squads of like 5 grey knights show up and single handedly dismantle entire dark mechanicus forge worlds and Titan STC's, theres not much they can do.

The main weakness of the Imperium and all races like that is no tech research, it seems the ad mech to busy to make new stuff, i mean cant they just re invent? oh wait they cut their imagination with machine, I mean they worhsip the machinespirit which is just their AI, i mean How come no over race has machine spirits.

I don't think Chaos have much time to actually research, either good reserchers turns bad and defects with their fun new killing machine before being slaughtered by loyalists. Or already bad people take tech and infuse it with daemons.
Chaos want's killy stuff now, not research that will possibly reach results in a decade.
I see dow2 infront off me "Yeah they are thousand year old ubermarines, but they are to busy looking for things to slaughter to actually pay attention to their guard duties."

Chaos in general does not lend itself to scientific advance.

[DarkLink]

I think Chaos is too busy pillaging, plundering and being emo to care much about science. At least the Imperium is looking for new technology, even if it won't innovate themselves because that would be heretical.

Yeah, we're awesome like that.

Chaos does make technological advances, they just don't follow a logical progression. Remember the daemonculaba from Dead Sky, Black Sun? That's absolutely a technological advance.

Chaotic technological development follows the kind of logic where somebody will figure out how to give live birth to fully formed adult space marines in less time than it takes to gestate a normal human being, but it won't occur to anybody to build a freaking storm shield. It's ... chaotic that way

[Fellend]

You can't murder, rape and pillage with a storm shield. "What's more killy than one sword? TWO SWORDS"

[Gooball]

And whats more killy than two swords?
Three HAMMERS!

[Herald of Nurgle]

And whats more killy than three hammers?
One Mephiston.
