==The Art of Replicae==
The art of replicea is a means of creating [[Space Marine]] warriors without using a recruit as a base for [[Creation_of_a_Space_Marine|gene seed]] transformation. Instead Gene seed is used to create clones of previous battle brothers which can be amalgamations or singular individuals. The Astartes gene seed is used to artificially produce a fully upgraded mature warrior which possess all the implants and modifications of all astartes, e.g. a secondary heart. Note that excessive use of replicae will result in gene seed quality deterioration, an example of the results is the [[Raven Guard]] chapter.
The art ==Side Effects==Being one of replicea is a means of creating the many technologies developed in the [[Space MarineDark Age of Technology]] warriors without using , a recruit as a base for [[Creation_of_a_Space_Marine|gene seed]] transformation. Instead Gene seed is used great deal of the processes and techniques to create successful and fuctioning clones was lost. These include the purification of previous battle brothers which can the blood to be amulgumations or singular individuals. The [[Adeptus Astartes|Astartes]] gene seed is used to artificially produce a fully upgraded mature warrior which possess all in the implants cloning proceedure and modifications the elimination of all astartes eg a secondary heartgene flaws. Note that excessive use Due to the loss of these techniques, mutations and other deformities will occur. These include extra limbs, e.g. tentacles, other growths such as claws and fangs and also mental and psychological changes, including fury and predatory bloodlust. The replicae will result process can also magnify and accentuate already present gene flaws. In many cases deformities present in the gene seed quality deterioration, an stock can take disturbing and horrific shapes in the Replicae. One example of this is the results is gene flaws [[Blood Angels|black rage]] and [[Blood Angels|red thirst]] in the [[Raven GuardBlood Angels]] Chapterchapter, which cause replicae to mutate with the red thirst into vampire like organisms.
=Side Effects=Known Attempts==Being one of * [[Corax]] and the [[Raven Guard]]: Due to the heavy losses the many technologies developed in Raven Guard chapter sustained during the [[Dark Age of TechnologyHorus Heresy]], a great deal of processes and techniques to create successful and fuctioning clones was lost. These include many accounts describe the chapter implementing the purification art of the blood replicae to be used bolster their dwindling numbers in the cloning proceedure and also the elimination of gene flawsorder to return as quickly as possible to combat readiness. Due to the loss secretive nature of these techniques mutations and other deformities have occur. These include extra limbs eg tentaclesthe Raven Guard chapter, other growths such as claws and fangs and also metal and pyschological changeslittle is known of the success of the chapter's attempt at cloning, including fury and predatory blood lust.The replicae process can also magnify and accentuate already present gene flaws. In however many cases depositions present rumours circulate in the gene stock can take disturbing and horrific shapes in ranks of other chapters describing the Replicae. One example outbreak of this is the gene flaws [[Blood Angels|black rage]] and [[Blood Angels|red thirst]] in the [[Blood Angels]] chapter, which cause replicae to mutate with the red thirst, into vampire like organismsmutants.
=Known Attempts=* [[CoraxApothecary]] and '''Majoris Caecus''' of the [[Raven GuardBlood Angels]]: Due Also due to the heavy losses the [[Raven Guard]] chapter sustained , inflicted during the [[Horus Heresy]] many accounts describe Arkio Insurrection, the chapter implementing the Art of Replicae Blood Angels sort to find a means to bolster their dwindling numbers in an effort to quicken , before their enemies caught wind of their weakened state. One such method was the recruitment processart of replicae. Due to This was carried out by Majoris Caecus against the secretive nature will of the Lord [[Raven GuardDante]] chapter little . It is known not entirely sure whether it was the flawed procedures used by the Apothecary and his cohorts or the maniplutaion of the success of traitor Fabius Bile that led to the chapter's attempt extreme mutations which their creations suffered. The replicaes, at cloningfirst glance, however many rumours circulate in the ranks were identical to any other battle brother, but because of other chapters describing the outbreak extreme nature of mutants in the gene flaws present inside them, they grew a [[Raven GuardRed_Thirst|lust for blood]] ranks. With its consumption the "bloodchilds" mutated and eveloved into more sinister beings. This attempt at replicae almost led to the Fortress Monestry of the Blood Angels almost becoming overun by these "bloodfiends".
* [[Apothecary]] '''Majoris Caecus''' of the [[Blood Angels]]: Also due to heavy losses, inflicted during the Arkio Insurrection, the Blood Angels sort to find a means to bolster their numbers, before their enemies caught wind of their weakened state. One such method which was explored was the Art of Replicae, this was carried out by Majoris Caecus against the will of Lord [[Dante]]. It is not entirely sure whether it was the flawed proceedures used by the Apothecary and his cohorts or the maniplutaion of the traitor Fabius Bile, which led to the extreme mutations which their creations suffered. The replicaes on first gaze, were identical to any other Battle Brother, but because of the extreme nature of the gene flaw present inside them, they grew a [[Red_Thirst|lust for blood]]. With its consumption the "bloodchilds" mutated and eveloved into more sinister beings. This attempt at Replicae almost led to the capture of the Fortress Monestry of the Blood Angels becoming overun by these "bloodfiends". ==Sources==
