Blank Power Levels (Warhammer 40k Lore)

I love that at a certain point, being a blank makes you immune to warp-based attacks A single guardsman stands as an enemy psyker decimates their squad. The witch looks on, confused and frightened. “How!? No one could have survived that attack! My power is unlimited, how do you still stand!?” The guard looks on, and simply says “Magic isn’t real, idiot”

I burst out laughing when the first level of blank was revealed under the designation 'sigma'

Being born a null doesn’t sound to bad. Either you die at birth or get a very nice position in the imperium. Best part is your soul probably won’t be eaten by some warp creature :)

I want to note that Jurgen sends inquisitor Amberley Vail's psyker into massive seizure by just his presence. I wouldn't call that a headache.

Love how you used Jurgen as an example

The God-Emperor in 40k sought the future of mankind in psykers. Whereas the God-Emperor in Dune sought the future of mankind in blanks - not to be found and not to be predictable by foresight. Given most major threats in 40k come from the warp, a colony of nulls may find itself quite protected.

cool fact: a sufficiently powerful blank would see the emperor of mankind not as his god like visage, but as just some shrivled up guy hooked up to the golden throne the emperor crafts his visage with his immense psychic power, and especially when trying to conquer mankind in the great crusade, he needed a strong and powerful visage to unify people to his cause. in reality, the emperor isn't a 12 foot tall golden demigod, as unlike his primarchs, he wasn't crafted in a genetic tube, but born like a normal human (presumably there are many theories on the emperor's origins but most have him still being born like a normal human) so he wouldn't be this godlike visage to a extremely powerful blank who would see past this this leaves a hilarious scenario of a blank just seeing a shriveled manlet on the golden throne instead of the insane power of the emperor, and being extremely confused

One slight correction - sigma and tau levels still have presence in warp, just smaller and more muted one compared to regular humans. In fact entire race of Tau is belived to be on ( nomen omen ) tau level of psychic potential.

You forgot one: The Alpha-Pariah, as seen in the game "Inquisitor Martyr". It is a gene-modified version of Omega-Minus, created by radical Inquisitors. The presence of the Alpha-Pariah cut a great unclean one of nurgle away from the warp, and weakened it to a point where it could be killed with relative ease. Permanently. Since it could not re-materialize in the warp, a thread of nurgle (rot, death, finality etc) was effectively burned out of reality. The reason why the Eldar say blanks are pure evil is beginning to make alot of sense with that context.

i love that since jurgen is a blank, cain uses him as his door guard so nobody bothers him

I love blanks! I love the idea of "anti special" people.

My best guess on Blanks is that the Old Ones introduced the Pariah Gene into humanity near the end of The War in Heaven when they realized what the Warp was becoming due to the conflict and tried to create a new weapon to combat it. Unfortunately, the Enslaver Plague broke out before they could finish their work.

I still believe that one of the lost Primarchs was a Blank With how each of the Primarchs represent a trait found in the Imperium, it's strange that there isn't a Blank among them

I think you kinda missed a level. Jenetia Krole was so powerful that Primarchs had to forcibly will themselves to see her visually. One more, the Princeps of the Ordo Sinister are all psychic blanks of a high power level.

The last one is so powerful it breaks the lore itself (seriously how the hell did a Daemon got fused with him before his "Anti-Warp" aura destroyed it?)

For those asking: the sister said "Don't forget to drink your Ovaltine™"

Omega- *walks down the hallway* Guardsman: *Shoots himself* Omega- "meh"

Also, "fun" bit of lore trivia. There is a rare breed of mutants of walking technobane called Discordants that are pretty much just like Blanks, except for technology instead of psychic power. They're extremely rare (thank the god emperor ), but for some reason only get born.... on forge worlds (fuck no). Any advanced tech slowly breaks in proximity around Discordant ( and they grow more powerful with age, up to the point of instantly frying anything high-tech in their auras ), and the more advanced tech is the faster it breaks. Like instance when infant Discordant ended killing themselves, their family and few thousand people around them when they "accidentally" break the air recycling machinery in their hub block. Those few who survive are then hunted down by Skitarii and killed as an affront to Machine God. Some manage to survive by fleeing into wasteland outside forge cities, and one of few things that scare cogboys shitless.

Psykers: "Nothing personnel, kid" Blanks: *Gigachad theme plays in the background

"Frag or Krak?" "FRAG!" "Right you are, sir."
