## Resource

Trigger Warning!* This episode covers topics such as body modifications and surgical enhancements. Joshy informs Zakky (and you) about the not-so-wonderful process of taking a young human boy and turning them into the Astartes super-soldier that graces our tabletops and video games. Fun fact: they receive 22(!!) of them. – Website/links: https://ttpfieldmanual.captivate.fm https://discord.gg/2dX5JqfNQ6 – TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Hello There! 3:30 Space Marine recruitment 8:52 The start of a very lengthy augmentation process 15:00 Cawl's Primaris upgrades 19:50 The rest: third lungs, sleep mode, and a good sniffer 35:30 The weird ones - frog powers! 44:20 BROTHER! IT'S GENE-SEED! 49:10 The Black Carapace: Power Armour, Online 56:43 Discussion and outro – TTP Field Manual is brought to you by Joshy and Jonny, best friends and tabletop gaming tragics from the local group Trust the Process Hobbies . Die-hard fans of tabletop gaming, we use this podcast as a platform to share our ramblings about the hobby (though we cannot shut up about Warhammer). By day, Joshy is a therapist; by night, an RPG aficionado raised on Final Fantasy and years of crafting his own Dungeons & Dragons worlds. Jonny, a technician, spends his downtime conquering more video games than Joshy can keep track of. Our occasional guest Zakky has a passion for buying things he then has to build. Thanks for listening!
