Editing Belisarius Cawl (section)

==List of Things Cawl ''May'' Have [[Blood Ravens|Borrowed]]==
As mentioned, Papa Cawl is probably the only cogboy in the Adeptus Mechanicus (and probably in all the [[Imperium]]) who has straight-up invented ''loads'' of new shit without [[Blam|disappearing]]. Many of his new toys have features found in other xenos and/or look like their weapons. Whether or not it is an example of [[Blood Ravens|"borrowing" their designs]] or [[Just As Planned|convergent invention]] [[skub|is up to you.]] This list will certainly get bigger as more units are introduced.
===From the [[Eldar|Space Elves]]===
* Primaris [[Reiver]] incorporate sonic/audio weaponry into their helmets to scare the shit out of their enemies, just like the howling banshees (though to be fair, we've invented such [[Wikipedia:Sonic weapons|weapons]] in early M3) or [[Noise Marines|Emperor's Children]], though we're pretty sure he's not dumb enough to mess with Chaos stuff... we think. Night Lords have used such tech since the start of the Great Crusade. The Mechanicus would have made it for them even back then.
* The Overlord Dropship uses energy shields instead of the usual void shields.
* Tactically the Primaris Marines draw a bit from Eldar doctrine. Squads armed with a single weapon, for a single purpose, for a single target. Compare an [[Eradicator]] squad with [[Aspect_Warrior#Fire_Dragons|Fire Dragon]] squad for example. To be fair, this is also similar to the tactical doctrines of the Legiones Astartes during the Great Crusade and the Heresy; compare the [[Eliminator]] squads to the Legion Recon squads, or the [[Aggressor]] and [[Hellblaster]] squads to the Tactical Support squads.

===From the [[Tau|T'au]]===
* The [[Primaris Captain|Primaris Captains']] Gravis Armour appears to be inspired from the Tau, though they may be also inspired by the [[Squats|Squat]] [[Hearthguard|Hearth]]{{BLAM}} {{BLAM|Heresy, Squats don't exist!}} {{BLAM|VOOOOOM!}} {{BLAM|What do you mean [[Leagues of Votann|WE]] don't exist!}}
**Like wise Phobos marines may also have some tau Inspiration. It's not as obvious as the tau Fire Warriors, but they also have the mis matched pauldrons with the left being slightly larger.

* The [[Redemptor Dreadnought|Redemptor Dreadnoughts']] Plasma Incinerator has two large bulges underneath the barrel which causes it to bear a striking resemblance to T'au Ion weaponry.
** New Contemptor Dreadnaught has a Plasma Cannon that looks very similar. Since those predate Tau civilization by 4 thousand years, [[Derp|it means the blueberries stole from the Imperium, not the other way around]].
*** But they got it from the [[Leagues of Votann]] who have a bunch of dark age stuff so that begs the question whether Cawl had those Incinerators lying around or whether he ''actually'' stole them from the squats massive dark age cache.
