that’s a meme they don’t actually do that exterminatus has been overutilised by certain inquisitors like kryptman but he was fired for that he continued doing inquisitor stuff anyway as news travels slow and not very effectively so he could get away with doing some stuff still but I don’t think he did any more exterminatus as that would’ve got him caught most inquisitors don’t like using exterminatus too much even if the imperium has a million worlds each planet still pays a tithe they don’t want to lose they don’t want to lose the food production of an agriworld or the manufacturing output of a forge world or you get the point unless they absolutely have to and know it’s lost anyway and the enemy’s gonna get it and they can’t get it back or atleast can’t without more effort than it’s worth
Exterminatus isn’t the only way they bomb planets though. There is a good Warhammer horror novel on some of the shit they do and how quickly they recover a planet for economic and agricultural gain.
This absolutely doesn’t apply to 40K. They will bomb a planet based on a hunch. Maybe they are heretics.
Look if they’re heretics they deserved to die and if they’re not heretics then they died a glorious death.
Idk what the problem is
I can tell you right now there are heretics on that planet, even if that planet is Holy Terra. Especially if that planet is Holy Terra.
Tera not only has fallen on its streets. There is a genesteeler cult. It’s a great showing of how bad the imperium is at doing its job.
