THERE

vale shuttle
#

my hot take is that the utter fixation on making sure everything is grimdark is strangling the creativity of 40K

orchid lark
#

based

pseudo depot
#

Yeah some Discord messages were leaked that showed MajorKill was very fond of the N word

orchid lark
#

a little dash of hope and niceness aint hurt no one

celest dome
orchid lark
#

too much grimdark makes it stop being cool

topaz gate
orchid lark
#

man I love this lore channel, lots of nice folk

#

unlike meme channel

vale shuttle
#

i love the lore channel as well

orchid lark
#

dumbasses

topaz gate
copper patrol
#

my wierd take is that there is both too much grimdark but like there is one faction I think isn't grimdarked in the right way

green loom
#

Yeah we're based see

vale shuttle
#

the lore channel regulars are cool people who i enjoy

green loom
#

We also mostly can't stand 1 minute timers

topaz gate
#

Btw what’s your credit card number?

green loom
#

So we're sensible and come here to argue

orchid lark
#

aint got one

#

Myes let us argue about funny little plastic figures

MY FUNNY LITTLE PLASTIC FIGURES ARE THE BEST

topaz gate
#

We shall talk about the economy of Jopal

orchid lark
green loom
#

It's the most tolerable and active lore channel I've had to deal with in a while thumbsup_ogryn

topaz gate
#

Also I want Jopal ducking exterminatused

storm jungle
copper patrol
#

god the when I was in the owlcat's discord

#

the rogue trader channel it was mostly fine

#

but there was a lot of yaking off certain characters and 🅱️ itching about some things

#

and also a lot of horni

green loom
#

The meme channel is just the average 40k meme channel

#

Which goes to say

chilly creek
green loom
#

It's things I've seen 50 times before this week

summer rover
green loom
#

It's the same things I saw last year, and 5 years ago

chilly creek
copper patrol
#

I mean

#

yeah

green loom
#

I tried playing Wrath of the Righteous

copper patrol
#

I understand why, since you can romance in those games

vale shuttle
copper patrol
#

but it was like

#

"I want to bang the eldar" constantly

green loom
#

But it was snore

#

Horniness and gamers, an iconic duo

#

Romancing the Sister would be so much better

green loom
#

idk man, I don't trust nuns

copper patrol
#

my main annoyance was people complaining about the SM companion being a space wolf

orchid lark

topaz gate
green loom
#

I'd rather they complained about there being a Space Marine companion

pseudo depot
#

DAE GAURDSMEN LIVE 15 MINUTES???

celest dome
copper patrol
#

literally any reason they could find

#

to complain about it

#

"i'd rather it be x chapter"

copper patrol
#

"space wolves killed thousand sons"

celest dome
copper patrol
#

etc

green loom
topaz gate
#

IM A COMMISSAR?

summer rover
#

realistically, most stories with astartes loitering around humans would be space wolves, because space wolves tend to do that. other chapters follow the codex and don't spend time mingling with the citizens

vale shuttle
#

this is why space marines are lame

copper patrol
#

you know how many times I said that

#

like

#

the only 2 chapters that'd really make sense

summer rover
#

6,000

green loom
#

I mean yeah wolves seem the most in character for this

topaz gate
#

Ok a Space Wolf and a Catachan get into a drinking competition, who wins?

copper patrol
#

would be space wolves or salamanders

vale shuttle
#

picture of average space marine's personality

green loom
#

They just go "oh hey fun adventure"

celest dome
#

Honestly, I don't care about the SM, it could even not be in the game and I'd have lost nothing

green loom
orchid lark
copper patrol
#

I liek space wolves(I just don't like yaking them off like Zero does)

green loom
pseudo depot
copper patrol
#

and I trust owlcat to make him interesting

summer rover
#

space wolves are the best because they will just show up to a battle you didn't ask for help at and suddenly you have to work them into your strategy or they get upset.

green loom
#

Also what race should I play in TWW2 thumbsup_ogryn

vale shuttle
#

i loved space marine 1 when it came out and i was 11

I loved DoW 1 when it came out and I was

#

Uhh

#

2 or maybe 3

coarse pumice
#

space marines benefited early from having easy plastics

topaz gate
#

Why you think I have Ultramarines?

orchid lark
#

dow 2 was probably the best "story-wise" felt like an epic

#

but dark crusades characters are the best

summer rover
#

and later from being stupidly east to sculpt in printing software

green loom
#

Time for another empire playthrough 😎

pseudo depot
#

Space marines are easy to paint, blue is an easy color to paint. Hence UM being the poster boys

"This action does not have my consent!"

One didn’t even fucking talk

copper patrol
#

love me space marine, but I also realize most have 0 personality or anything interesting

#

oh dear

#

i hope it is, for your sake

orchid lark
#

also dow proves the american accent exists in 40k

orchid lark
topaz gate
#

Lukas Alexander is a good enough replacement for Sturn (even though I think Sturn is better. And Eliphas made me even gayer than I already am with that voice work. Still salty he was replaced by star scream

crisp heath
#

This conversation made me realize how much I want a Cain-style story about a Space Wolf and a Catachan getting shitfaced and going on a one-night adventure

copper patrol
pseudo depot
#

Iron Warriors born on Terra should have American accents, fun fact

copper patrol
#

but in space

storm jungle

I feel Imperial Fists are better for the American accent

#

Only that's gotten worse for me is my urge to be thrown off a cliff thumbsup_ogryn

topaz gate
#

Nah bro slightly southern

#

I want Rogal Dorn to be voiced by Arthur Morgan

orchid lark
#

imperial fists are based on junker culture

copper patrol
#

I want a "video" of sitgryn that has that one guts theme in the background

orchid lark
#

so theyre germans

green loom
#

You're right they should be australians

copper patrol
#

can just picutre

copper patrol
#

sitgryn

#

with that playing in the background

orchid lark
#

not junker, the yoonker

storm jungle
#

Imperial Fists are my favorite Overwatch character

orchid lark
#

Iron Hands fought in like Albion or some shit

green loom
#

See Junkers are even yellow

orchid lark
#

Actual britbongs

green loom
#

It makes perfect sense

pseudo depot
#

Death Guard are from Albion actually

orchid lark
#

were they?

#

i cant fucking remember

topaz gate
#

Bro I love playing as Jaghatai Khan in Overwatch bro underrated character af

orchid lark
#

literally the time iron hands get lore, its so little

topaz gate
#

Ima say it

storm jungle
#

harsh but true

copper patrol
#

love the iron hands

#

with ther primarch

topaz gate
#

They are the worst Space Marine legion

copper patrol
#

iron hands

crimson kayak
#

Especially considering how a good 70% of the time it's just grimderp

copper patrol
#

who has

#

metal hands

topaz gate
#

And the only reason people play them is that they’re meta

crisp heath
#

Iron Hands are great wtf

orchid lark
#

Iron Hands shouldve kept their old names

#

Storm Walkers

topaz gate
#

Ferrus Manus barely had character outside of Fulgrim

pseudo depot
#

I like Iron Hands because I too have body dysmorphia

topaz gate
copper patrol
#

Ferrus should have not been named "iron hands"

orchid lark
crimson kayak
#

As I said before only cool factor for them would be ferrus getting back as a Helfather

crisp heath
#

I need them to name more things after iron hands

topaz gate
#

Besides if you wanna play a techy faction play Skitari

crimson kayak
topaz gate
#

The what?

crimson kayak
#

Legion of the damned

topaz gate
#

Oh

orchid lark
#

he was the big spirit leading the legion of the damned in one of the books

crimson kayak
#

Acronyms go brrrr

topaz gate
#

What are the legion of the damned anyway? I’ve heard of them but I’ve never seen what they do.

crimson kayak
#

? *

#

Where big e summons him and a bunch of other imperial heroes as fiery ghosts

pseudo depot
#

I took that Horus Heresy quiz for which Legion you fit the most with, and it was Iron Hands. So I will not stand for this Iron Hands slander as an online quiz told me I should like them.

orchid lark
crisp heath
#

Nah there's just a bit where Emps is fighting in the web way and his psychic powers manifest as an army of people he knows. Those psychic manifestations don't really stick around and probably aren't the actual person, just shapes of his memories. Ferrus just stands out in the passage because he was a recently deceased son.

#

Bruh I got Sons of Horus and the Harry Potter quiz put me in Slitherin, why do I keep getting assigned evil at birth

topaz gate

Atleast it’s not the Black Legion

#

Well, apparently I'm an Iron Warrior

orchid lark
#

I am Blood Angel through and through

#

never will Change

#

post heresy I like Word Bearers

#

if its legion, any and all are fine

#

Space Marine Legions were badass regardless

queen laurel
#

I want to try that

crimson kayak
#

The one on the Horus Heresy website

queen laurel
#

Ok wait

celest dome
#

Got Dark Angels

#

Think's due to using weird tech

queen laurel
#

I am salamanders

#

Should i feel proud or should i feel disgusted

#

I mean i do help people but

Could be worse

I will suplex the nearest child if it's annoying

Btw funny how the first question is "Horus went full chaos, how do you respond?" the option are clearly loyal and traitor...

... Proceeds to pick loyal and get a traitor legion anyway

you just get killed at istvann

you think the space sharks have Blahajs?

coarse pumice

blajas mount

crimson kayak
#

Dafuq is a blajas

copper patrol
#

shork friend

crisp heath
#

As a carcharodons fan and a blahaj cultist, I sure fucking hope so

celest dome
crisp heath
#

I'm pretty sure the Blahaj is regarded as an ancient Terran idol worshipped by those who seek to modify the human form into its most perfect state, so maybe the admech collect them

crimson kayak
#

I mean, knowing it's carcharadons we are talking about they probably have some but fitted with Atleast 10 chainsaws

crisp heath
#

They also have these and they make Blahaj hunt them as training

crimson kayak
#

Well, I definetly now know what I'm gonna draw when I get home

crisp heath
#

Omg if you draw sharkies with blahaj I definitely want to see it'd make my week!!!!

crimson kayak
#

Either that or directly a carcharadon blahaj

crisp heath
#

I'd love you forever 🥺

crisp heath
#

"The void is cold, brothers, and even in the endless hunt we find no peace. We shall streak the stars with blood and salvation, but no glory or joy was ours, until the Blahaj found us, and brought us, for the first time in millenia, his blessed warmth and snuggles."

plush mason
#

so can Evesors recognize friend from foe or will they just kill anyone that find in their kill zone?

green loom
#

They seem pretty aware from what I remember

#

But generally wherever they're deployed

#

There's not much that the guy ordering them out wants alive

plush mason
#

yeah

#

but what if some IG scouts end up wandering into the kill zone?

#

ofc i guess that isnt something that would happen a lot

summer rover
#

if anyone cared about there being survivors, they don't send an evesors. i'm pretty sure it's part of their job to get as much collateral as possible. sends a message.

plush mason
#

true

orchid lark
plush mason
#

maybe

signal bramble
#

So if someone wanders in to the kill zone they'll probably end up as collateral.

plush mason
#

the Evesor backpack does have a targeting computer so that could likely detect an IFF chip

#

those axes look baller

orchid lark
#

Lernean Terminators, Alpha Legion back in the legion days sent these guys on their own

#

no witnesses if everyones dead

green loom
copper patrol
#

eversors are closer to a bomb then an assassin

#

also

#

ironically have a bomb in them

orchid lark
#

jesus, just found an artist on pixiv/dA that thought Nocturne (the salamanders homeworld) had literal black skinned people

#

even called them Yang-Gelap, which is literally the dark ones when translated in my language

copper patrol
orchid lark
#

made a Salamander veteran character and called him, Bakar Hitam

#

literally Burn Black

copper patrol
#

I thought only the space marines had the ash colored skin

orchid lark
#

they do

#

Salamanders have it as actual like Slate Black because of radiation because of nocturnian sun, but their successors would have slate gray skin yes

copper patrol
#

isn't it like the radiation doing something with the geneseed(even though that doesn't make sense)

orchid lark
#

yeah

copper patrol
#

so they have charcoal black skin and red eyes

orchid lark
#

its the melanachrome gene

#

Salamanders are part of the Three (forgot the name)

#

alongside Space Wolves and Death Guard (not death Guard, its Alpha Legion)

#

where their genes are specifically so modified for certain shit

copper patrol
#

what do the death guard have?

orchid lark
#

the tolerance to chemicals (ignore this, this is wrong)

copper patrol
#

ah

orchid lark
#

Space Wolves (nicknamed the Rout in the heresy days) were headhunters

#

like actual wolves they would hunt people down viking style

#

to sow terror and cause significant operational troubles on their enemies

#

oh its not death guard

#

its alpha legion

#

the Trefoil

#

their existence was kinda hidden in the early days

#

thats what they were called

#

the Trefoil

#

specifically designed marines and shit

#

just reported that guy

#

dont give no quarter

crisp heath
#

What the hell happened?

copper patrol
#

ah

orchid lark
#

literally just called black skinned peoples, the dark ones

#

like what is wrong with some people

#

1, dont like racism,
2. dont like lore inaccuracies

#

dont like no sounds like a double negative

#

fixed that

crisp heath
#

Maybe space marines are an elaborate ploy to get racists to spend all day painting instead of committing hate crimes

orchid lark
#

nah they got Imperial Guard for that

crisp heath
#

No but guard are sweet babies 😦

copper patrol
#

krieg

orchid lark
#

goddamn wehraboos

#

that said most krieg fans are normal

#

its when they ONLY like krieg is when we gotta be on our toes

copper patrol
#

I wonder what a nocturn guard regiment would look like

orchid lark
#

probably normal humans with high grade and maintained equipment

#

promethean cult, everyones a crafter of some sort

copper patrol
#

I mean like style wise

orchid lark
#

hmm

#

probably like those rogue men at arms kinda guy

#

they got like the green of salamanders armour, with black details

#

nah they wouldnt be fancy

#

they would be kinda protean but unique enough

#

lots of chain-hauberks for flair

#

salamander skins too

copper patrol
#

I kinda imagine them basically like how the salamanders are, heavily armored with lotsa fire

orchid lark
#

they would have gasmask if they had to fight outside the cities often enough

#

volcanic air is not uh

#

pleasant

#

that and rotten eggs if theres sulfur in the air

#

I think the Ragnar books reference the voidsmen on Space Wolves ship very well equipped and some of them have like pelts or fetishes from home

#

so they look a bit viking

crisp heath
#

Honestly they need to bring Lucifer Blacks to the tabletop, either as a regiment or as cheap units to give Custodes armies some extra models

orchid lark
#

true

#

bring back alfriel strains too

#

they shouldve been a killteam kit

arctic talon
#

If we get another guard kill team kit

#

Before eldar, nids or custodes get a new team

#

I’m going to strangle someone

orchid lark
#

you think they would make a croneworld eldar kill team

#

I hope GSC gets a kill team

#

i think thatd be neat

arctic talon
#

GSC already has

#

A bespoke one

orchid lark
#

they do?

arctic talon
#

The only factions who don’t have a bespoke team now

orchid lark
#

what was it

arctic talon
#

Wyrmblade

celest dome
#

Do the Tyranid have one ?

arctic talon
#

Tyranids have a compendium team

#

They don’t have a bespoke one

orchid lark
#

and compendiums is whats good

arctic talon
#

No

#

Compendium is terrible

#

Compared to a bespoke team

#

99% of the time

orchid lark
#

i fucked that one not gonna lie

arctic talon
#

Ngl

#

Same so@erimes

orchid lark
#

i was looking at the GSC

celest dome
#

Compendium is using normal units from the Codex

arctic talon
#

So are some bespoke teams

#

They just have rules that are way better

#

They’ve pretty much killed all the old compendium teams for GSC, admech, thousand sons and harlequins

#

The only good compendium teams

#

Are like

#

scions and death watch

#

Harlequins used to have a good one but they got a white dwarf bespoke team

orchid lark
#

you think daemons will get a kill team

#

thats hopefully not just khorne daemons

celest dome
#

Undivided Deamon Kill Team letting you take Lesser Deamon from all the Chaos God

arctic talon
#

They also have gellarpox

orchid lark
#

poor guys

arctic talon

Ig

crisp heath
#

KT 2018 had demons, but they were pretty half baked. Been hearing the new KT is much better but buying into new rules is a hard sell when I only play with like 3 people and we're all grognards

tiny root
#

one thing I don't understand about Dark Angels. does every fast attack option belong to the Ravenwing? and does every heavy infantry unit belong to the Deathwing? because I see lots of bikes painted Calliban Green and sometimes I see them painted black and white in the colours of the Ravenwing. And similarly for Gravis, I see them green and not yellowed bone coloured

green loom
#

No

#

Deathwing(1st Company) are the inner circle

#

Basically Veterans

#

But super trusted goons

odd palm
#

I mean in that regard, I would say it's just people painting minis how they want to. Personal preference

tiny root
#

but what of the Bladeguard veterans? Is that just GW cramming them into a value box
kek

green loom
#

Ravenwing are the 2nd company, they have lots of bikes/flyers because the company is meant to be specialized in them

#

Bladeguard are technically 1st Company, so Deathwing

#

Hence they use the Deathwing Colours

odd palm
#

However that's not a guarantee, a successor may not run bladeguard as 1st company

green loom
#

Methinks they can be attached to other comapnies

odd palm
#

Oh definitely, 1st company regularly acts as a force multiplier for strike forces

green loom
#

Yeah especially in DA when the main body can't really run around

#

They'll just get tagged to another company as the wet squad accompanying the Master, who's also in the Inner Circle

#

(iirc most Deathwing Knights are being groomed for leadership)

odd palm
#

But I mean, a successor if they so choose could have bladeguard squad(s) baked into a battle company
Take the Executioners for example, who iirc replace one of their devastator squads in a battle company for a sternguard veteran squad

green loom
#

Oh yeah I mean chapter structures are way more flexible than people give them credit for

arctic talon
#

Yeah the deathwing also like

green loom
#

Seeing as most marines are versatile enough to do whatever

arctic talon
#

Almost never deploys on its own

#

They’re usually embedded

odd palm
#

True

arctic talon
#

Same with the raven wing

#

And other inner circle members

green loom
#

The Codices just give a vague "standard" formation at any given time

arctic talon
#

Yeah

green loom
#

But it's not crazy to think that, if needed, the squads will switch around

odd palm
#

Also, let's not forget the 12 squad strong battle company of the UMs 2nd company in the.....9th ed codex iirc. Where squads were on a prolonged loan from the reserve companies and had their pauldron trims changed to gold

green loom
#

Ye, people just remember Leandros and him saying "Muh codex" every 3 seconds

#

Despite his advice more or less being

#

"Bro you literally dropped through 25 ships while AA fire was blowing up infront of you, that's stupid, you're our leader"

odd palm
#

Pretty much

green loom
#

The codices also assume the companies are at full strength all the time, which is very unlikely

odd palm
#

Or that chapters are at full strength, which is rarely the case. Unless is crisis recovery mode

crisp heath
#

Titus was unironically a pointlessly reckless leader and was inexplicably immune to chaos, Leandros was correct in his actions

odd palm
#

He just built different

green loom
#

He's leading the task force and he nearly dies in the opening lol

#

Because again

arctic talon
#

Leandros was still wrong to report him to the inquisition

#

But Titus was

crisp heath
#

Titus should be posterchild for "space marines are mentally 14 year olds chasing a power fantasy"

arctic talon
#

An actual idiot for doing that jump

green loom
#

he jumps from crazy high up, out of a moving thunderhawk, through AA fire and an active fleet battle, ontop of an Ork cruiser

crisp heath
#

Also like I know it was for game play progression reasons, but he literally made the jump with nothing but a combat knife and just trusted he could loot some weapons

plush mason
#

that whole game was nothing but SM power fantasy lol

odd palm
#

That's SM lore in a nutshell tbh

summer rover
#

loot weapons
ork territory
i'm sorry, but he might just be dumb.

plush mason
#

he is a SM. ofc he is

arctic talon
plush mason
#

a forge world that frankly should have been ready for an ork invasion

summer rover
#

admech spent their military funds on cool weapon experiments, so they didn't have anyone that could actually fight

#

same as it ever was

crisp heath
#

"Our titan broke :("

plush mason
#

where was the crown during that invasion anyway?

arctic talon
#

Prolly with most of the forgeworlds army with it

#

The tech priests value the crown more then the actual planet

plush mason
#

yeah they likely took the titan legion with them too

#

btw. does the imperium use space elevators?

orchid lark
#

yeah kinda

green loom
#

Hol up

orchid lark
#

space marine the game had a space elevator

green loom
#

Why's Vermintide nearly twice the size of Darktide....

plush mason
#

older game with 4 expacs worth of content and poorer file compression

orchid lark
#

audio takes up a lot of space sometimes

#

looks at the new modern-warfare games

ivory canyon
#

didn't vermintide have a different loading system?

#

it takes ages to download so loading screens could be quick

green loom
#

Alright so

#

I'm gonna buy Warrior priest

#

Should I buy the white lion set for kerillian also?

plush mason
#

why not?

#

if you like the look and play the elf a lot its worth getting

arctic talon
#

Do you like playing Kerellian

#

If not I wouldn’t

plush mason
#

yean. to this day i have never bought any cosmetics for the bright wizard because i never play her kek

arctic talon
#

I play saltz and Kerellian the most lol

#

I just like shooting stuff

#

Ig

celest dome
#

I like some of Kerillian's melee, but none of the ranged tbh

arctic talon
#

Her spear and shield is fun

#

Same with sword + dagger

celest dome
#

I prefer her Glaive

green loom
#

I like Handmaiden

celest dome
#

Shade for me

#

What DLC is the spear/shield in?

arctic talon
#

The one with the comet

#

And beastmen

#

💀

celest dome
#

Wind of Magic ?

green loom
#

Wait shit everything's on sale

arctic talon
#

Yep

#

Winds

celest dome
#

I kinda like the Beastmen, except the Archers

arctic talon
#

Beastmen Minotaurs == annoying as fuck

#

Same with archers

celest dome
#

Bestigor ?

arctic talon
#

Everything else is “fine”

#

No

celest dome
#

Or the monster

arctic talon
#

The big boss

#

Monster

celest dome
#

The biggest complain I have about the Beastmen is that they have so few units

#

should have gotten a Minogor as second elite

#

And some Bray Shaman as specials

storm jungle
#

oh wait yeah

#

beastmen have no disablers or unique specials at all lol

green loom
#

Might just ignore winds then

storm jungle
#

Yeah ignore it

green loom
#

Does Bogenhafen give good weapons?

celest dome
#

Bogenhafen has no weapon

#

Just had skins

green loom
#

Which one has the dual weapons

celest dome
#

Return to Ubersreik

#

think

#

Twin Hammer, Axe and Falchion, Mace and Sword

green loom
#

Is Shadows worth it?

celest dome
#

The mission are fun, but you can do them with someone who already has the pack

#

So I'd say not really

green loom
#

Yeah I uh

#

Have no friends so

celest dome
#

Could run with people from here

green loom
celest dome
#

Atm I'm unable to play, so can't help you

green loom
#

I like playing Vermintide on my own more

#

People are experienced there and run for grims

#

Then the dlc is not bad, the maps are fun

can you still get VT1? though I'm sure I got it back then, but it's not on my steam

What mental gymnastics did horus do to turn to chaos

crisp heath
#

Got stabbed

plush mason
plush mason
#

so the lore of Tallarn is basically a case of plans backfiring horribly?

#

the iron warriors glassed the planet, and it just made the defenders harder to fight

#

tfw these fucks are better at glassing planets than the iron warriors

orchid lark
#

Eldar were there helping the tallarn too

plush mason
#

still you would think glassing the whole planet would snuff out most resistance

orchid lark
#

Tallarn probably took it as a sign to man the fuck up

#

If you’re at 0 percent, you can only go up

plush mason
#

not probably they clearly did

#

most other sci-fi planets when they get glassed: dies
Tallarn when it gets glassed: Jihad it is then

orchid lark
#

For the Muadib

#

From the tallarn imperial@guard book

#

They called the Emperor

#

Aba Aba Mushira

#

what does the emprah think of servitors

orchid lark
#

A necessary replacements to thinking machines

vale shuttle
#

idk if they ever comment on big e's view on servitors

#

if they dont then his view is that he doesn't give a shit about the people who are lobotmised and enjoys being able to make dissenters into slaves, i assume

#

Nah

#

Lucius still has that irrc

orchid lark
#

Yeah Villith Zar

#

The sword thats used by Yncarne

green loom
coarse pumice
#

It usually isn’t a sudden thing

#

And often stems from good intentions initially

orchid lark
#

got tricked into believing the emperor was casting the primarchs out

#

played on his paranoia and pride

#

Horus had a lot second thoughts, like his complaints to malcador as to why one of his brothers (the 2 missing primarchs) had to die

#

given a glimpse of a future where the emperor becomes a god, which contradicts the Imperial Truth he was espousing in the crusade

#

so on and so forth

#

I dont know if it was in the first three books or fear to tread

#

but Horus had wondered what would happen to the primarchs once its the crusade is all over

#

in Corax's Deliverance Lost (its also a good Alpha Legion book, no spoilers)

#

inside the hilmalayas (the imperial Palace, part of it), were 20 massive penthouses built inside

#

Corax raised by prisoners and was one himself, recognized a prison when he sees one obviously

#

but he also notes that each room was tailor made and even additions like furniture and high class stuff

#

so there was a change at some point

#

I think he also points out that beds are worthless to primarchs, because they dont sleep or something...

#

I know he comments about beds

odd palm
#

They do sleep, but it seems to be exceptionally rare

orchid lark
#

imagine how big those beds are

odd palm
#

Comically large

orchid lark
#

California California King

#

its got to feel like stone for us to sleep on considering how heavy and tough it needs to be

odd palm
#

Might just be a super thick, memory foam mattress

orchid lark
#

the most important STC the emperor maintained for himself

XD one for a good nights sleep

Very bolterporn

||and btw I'm curious about the "figure with a broken sword. A king on a throne. A knight sleeping on a bed of rock" like, as one is clearly the lion but the other two possible futures I don't know||

#

||A king on a throne,|| wouldn't that be the Emperor ?

crimson kayak
#

Btw, dafuq is a Solar Hoplite?

celest dome
#

Solar Auxillia Voidsman

green loom
#

Probably a Guard formation

celest dome
#

?

crimson kayak
#

||Also btw Terra being described as basically becoming an imperial daemon world due to the metric fuckton of psychic energies flowing through the throne is good||

crimson kayak
green loom
#

They're a guard formation

#

Think Lucifer Blacks and Palatine Sentinels

#

At least that's what'd make sense

celest dome
#

Were those part of the Solar Auxillia ?

crimson kayak
#

Nooe

celest dome
#

Or a separate thing

crimson kayak
#

Solar Auxilia is just the old Saturnine reformed

#

Lucifer Black's and similar are imperial army

green loom
#

And are now almost exclusively used to sit on Terra

crimson kayak
#

||btw the imperial fist marine in the book rushing the fallen with a power fist and a shield screams badass to me||

#

||Also we can finally settle the debate on if the chaos gods care officialy thanks to this book considering it's confirmed they are not even truly sentient||

green loom
#

Chaos fans owned

crimson kayak
#

||Mostly because we got our Grey Jedi equivalent Cypher who just can't decide if he wants to save or burn the imperium||

green loom
#

There was art of them fighting Vostroyans there

#

And it mentioned lots of priests performing random miracles

celest dome
#

I mean, it wasn't explicit but it isn't out of the blue, the Chaos God have often been described as force of nature rather than real beings

orchid lark
#

Primal energies flowed and formed and what not

||Also during the second premonition thing I wonder what's the broken sword||

rose thorn

#

The lion sword

Is Luther still MIA?

Not mentioned

Yep

||He probably managed to escape with the very very fucked retreat made by BL||

green loom
#

His escape is explained in his book no

rose thorn
#

||The door was open, and there was the sound of a battle oustide||

#

||so he limped out||

green loom
#

Yeah and Azzy may or may not have let it happen thumbsup_ogryn

rose thorn
#

Lol

#

He was the last person to see him actually

green loom
#

He was interrogating him as the battle started

celest dome
green loom
#

And left the door open

rose thorn
#

||and the watchers watched him leave if I’m remembering correctly||

#

Damn I love pre lion lore for their home planet

I wish that mentality of ha ha big monsters die stayed

Oh, didn't watch it

Neither did I

#

You can’t blame me for expecting DA lore to be bad

crimson kayak
#

I was still at the "The lion is somehow back and has been for a while appearing with his magical spooky forest to space green knight imperium Nihilus" stage supposed to be before he gathers the Risen and goes to caliban

#

Or the rock or however we want to call it now

celest dome
#

They really decided on calling them the Risen ?

green loom
#

Yes!

crimson kayak
#

I mean, it would have been either that or something like "The Forgiven" or shit

#

So Risen seems good imo

storm jungle
#

Destiny ass names

celest dome
#

I think in Fantasy it's the name of a faction for the Undead Pirates

storm jungle
#

Yeah its not really a very original name

#

so makes sense

crimson kayak
#

(wich makes me wonder why they didn't do the cooler thing and give the bladeguard veterans in the box Fallen colors)

#

Especially considering how the lion still uses the darkended grey/black armour

storm jungle
#

'What were those things?’ he asks.

        ‘They are dead now,’ the Lion answers, ‘and that is all that matters.’ The fur-clad commander, whose back the Lion broke, is still twitching. Zabriel walks over to him and aims his bolt pistol at the fallen heretic’s head.

        ‘Wait!’ the Lion instructs him. He crosses the floor and glares down at his broken adversary. ‘Your sorcerer is dead. What must I do to rid myself of this malady that impedes me?’

        ‘Impedes you?’ the traitor hisses, his breath coming in staccato gasps. It takes the Lion a moment to realise that he is laughing through pain. ‘You slaughtered my best and broke my back as though I were a child. What manner of being are you, that you consider yourself impeded when you can still do such things?’

        The Lion reaches up and removes his helm. Perhaps this creature knew his face once, or perhaps not, it doesn’t matter. Nor is he concerned about the risk of exposing himself briefly to the air. This is the first time he will declare himself in ten thousand years, and he will not do it from behind a ceramite faceplate.

‘I am Lion El’Jonson, primarch of the Dark Angels and son of the Emperor.’

        The heretic’s eyes go wide, and there is no doubt or denial in them. But then he smiles, exposing teeth that are now merely jagged points.

        ‘There is no malady at work here, my lord. You simply got old.’

        The Lion stares at him for a moment. Then he turns away, breathing ­heavily, pursued by the clean bite of the truth.

        Zabriel’s bolt pistol speaks one final time, and then there is silence.

the only things with lion content as of now are the Arks book, son of the forest and some quick mentions of him in the cypher book

Okay DA give me my 12 hour long book where a group of a veteran, a new guy, a specialist, and a medic travel across a planet to kill a monster that pissed off a noble’s great great grandfather

Yeah that sounds pretty tzeentch lmao

That’s why tzeentch specially completely destroyed the planet

Im pretty sure it was said it was tzeentch’s doing that the world is the way it was somewhere in the Luther book
