There is the game side and the hobby side (further split into models, books, games).
I want to go deep into it. Im into building scale models and rc shit. If this clicks my goal is to get a resin 3d printer to pump out my minis then put in the effort to do a good job painting them.
If youre already into models, pick the faction you like the look of and let us know, theres probably a good box to get for them. Probably combat patrol but some are better than others.
maybe my favorite primarch model, nice job. If I didn't already have DA I think I would've gone RG.
"You people..."
They also are joined by a Blood Angel who keeps his helmet on the whole story, with everyone else speculating how much of a sexy twink he is underneath since Blood Angels always wind up resembling Sanguinius....only for it to be revealed at the end he is from the aboriginal tribes of Baal and actually looks like this
*Black Rage immediately takes hold*
Actually he staves it and the red thirst off by sniffing promethium.
"By Vulcan's eyes, what is this "dreamtime" he's babbling about?!"
You know, I keep seeing people asking for Ogryn or other abhuman as marines, with some arguing that Blood Angel geneseed could do it, as they work on mutants.
Instead of the N word, they get called Terran
Nocture has some tribes that live in the underground tunnels still. They're called Igneans after the volcanic rocks and are looked down upon by everyone else who lives there. I shouldn't need to tell anyone here the obvious.
In the Death Guard they definitely used Terran as their N-word. I think they were the worst for that.
Even in the planet of blacks, there are nigs.
Ironically the Salamanders didn't really have a Terran problem. Mostly because before Vulkan was found they were on the verge of extinction because they were regularly throwing themselves into Lamenter-grade clusterfucks all to save only a few people. The more hot-headed ones among the survivors got turned into his Pyreclast destroyer units because even a nice guy like Vulkan has his limits, but assimilation between the two groups went pretty smoothly.
The protagonist of Nick Kyme's Tome of Fire books is an Igger, believe it or not. One of his rivals in the Chapter (and a bitter loser at that) regularly talks shit to his face about his origins and the other Salamanders just go "Bit of a dick thing to say, but..." and move on.
The key is Terrans in loyalists=lore reason for traitor loyalists and Terrans in traitors=lore reason for loyalist traitors.
My loyal Khârn and Ahriman are totally valid, lore says so.
I never thought I'd call Kharn the Betrayer a tragic fall from grace, but damn did the Heresy books make me feel kinda bad for him.
The return of the Squats/LoV seemed to be only an April Fools joke.
