Out of all of the criticism of ADB I have never heard of this one suggesting that he is against marines from traitor legions staying loyal. Now if it was a post-heresy chaos marine that suddenly had regrets, he'd probably have the guy executed by Imperials, because at that point, chaos marines are too far damned to be redeemed.

But to add an opinion on the Blood Ravens, while I believe that Blood Ravens are descended from Thousand Sons, it is also really fucking obvious. What if they were descended from the 2nd or 11th legions? That would be a curveball and possibly explain why the Blood Ravens thirst for knowledge. Maybe one of the Lost Primarchs was a knowledge seeker and found something man was not meant to know?
ADB never discussed it. He literally said that "The Blood Ravens arent Tsons and it's true because I am 1 degree of seperation from being GW's next lore master.
 
Following on from my previous chaplain post it looks like this store are anticipating another indomitus

Not sure how many have been allocated to stores but safe to say if you want it make sure you get in tomorrow.
Is Tarentus Primaris height? I got a no manlet policy.

Reminder to all married users, that you will never be as chad as Sanguinious.

Only dude who was more chad was Apothecary Meros who threw his life away so that dad wouldn't succumb to chaos.

Shit. Double post. My bad.

The I like about the Blood Ravens is they aren’t gimmicky outside of using a lot of librarians. They are frankly very flexible and will adopt strategies if they think certain chapters are their parent chapter.

Its why for 9th I’ll play them as White Scars but even their white dwarf article stated they could take any rules they want. Which is imo the best option when it comes to space marines and it’s lore friendly!
 
Cringe take tbh. But he is probably the height of the space marine heros mini line. But that is still shorter then a primaris.
I got nothing against OG marines. I just like things dress right dress. I blame my military service. Having a multi height army just kinda bugs me.
 
>He doesn't individualize every marine in his army.
Smh.
Oh I got different upgrade sprues and I bought a ton of random arms and weapons. I'm not going crazy on conversion but I'm making them unique. Its just the height.

Either way though I need to get back to painting first.

Gonna get dabbed on by the Vanguard Vets there buddy.

Wow. I like the guy’s work but that’s some ego.

You could put some cork on the Firstborn’s base to make their height level. But I do get it. I have some of my marines still on 25mm bases and they look tiny compared to models on 32mm.
 
Happy Halloween everyone.

Shh, I know it's not 40K, just imagine it's a Fedual World.
 
In the honor of Halloween, let's see some Ork dress up.
Say hello to Ro-boot Grill-a-Man, Warboss of the Blue Skull Boyz.

You never know, really, when it comes to Orks.
INB4 MarineBoys are a thing.

It actually interests me in how early 40k Orks and Marines almost had the same units kind of they served the same purpose but in their own ways. I know other factions typically have their own stand ins but I always felt like the orks were almost trying to be like marines.

Stormboyz -> Assaults Marines

Painboy -> Apothecary

Weridboy -> Librarian

Killa Kanz have grots infused into them much like Dreadnoughts having a fused pilot

Kommandos -> Vanguard Vets

Lootas -> Devastators

Marines and Orks have much more in common than we think.

Up until 3rd ed. Orks were armed with bolters and could take power armour in rogue trader.

Isn't there a Mad Doc trying to make betta boyz and studying how Astartes all got so big all of them sudden?

Anyhoo, I listen to Dawn of Fire book 1 Avenging Son. It's exceptionally mediocre. There was nothing bad enough to pull me out of the story, a few things I liked, and the author had a couple of scenes I thought were very well done in being visually descriptive.

Interesting details:
  • There were Redemptor Dreadnoughts in the first wave of Primaris, while I think it's entirely likely that Primaris were critically wounded in live training excercises(several were killed in a show of force bout against combat servitors at their revelation to Imperium), I also fully believe and prefer the idea that Cawl just crippled them himself to test out his new toy.
  • There is an Inquisitor and 2 man team who pick up a Imperial Guard Officer on their way off a planet was it's getting Khorned. The Inquisitor is overwhelmingly bland, but his right hand man and xeno lackey are fun. Brutal scene where an old commissar is giving up his seat to let the Inquisitor escape the planet being forced to choose men to make room for the Inquisitor's two men AND the xeno, that was well done. Was this not a mess of like 8-9 first person narrators, they could of been an interesting cast for a book. Gets directly called out as being an Ordo Xenos Inquisitor fighting chaos (even though his specialty is Necron antiwarp tech), which I appreciated as that's my major nitpick with the Eisenhorn/Ravenor series. There is some big deal about him being a Psycher that can meld with the mind of people he tortures to get information out of them that falls flat.
  • A White Consol that followed Girlyman on the Terran Crusade is the view point for Firstborn finding out about and working with Primaris. It's very generic. He's coaching the darkie Primaris for a few years before he takes over as a Chapter Master in the Ultima Founding. He's also very generic, there is a line about his appearance except skin color being changed by his Astartes transformation, but that was nothing that got my panties in a twist anyways.
  • There is a Lieutenant to a fleet Commander thread. There is implied lesbian relation. Commander is supposedly super awesome but it's mediocrely conveyed.
  • Abaddon's plan accordingly to Girlyman's inference is either to fully engulf it in the warp or destroy them both. He's pilling up blackstone chunks and literally towing them through the galaxy unzipping the material.
  • Necrons OP. With this and Indomitus they are really painting themselves into a corner with this new Necron storyline. Necrons can shut off the warp in large areas of Space. Cutting off travel to everyone but the Necrons, the Tau, and maybe Eldar. Not only that, we see in this story when the Inquisitor uses Necron tech to flip Abbadon's blackstone pylon materium unzipperer from Warp Yes to Warp No it acts as a massive bomb that kills all the demons including a massive demon battleship(that was pretty cool) in an area of a fleet battle. This is scavenged pieces of Necron tech and they are doing new construction in the Pariah Nexus.
  • There is a very pointless subplot from the perspective of a scribe on Terra who gets a sign from the Emporer that a message that was thrown out was important, goes on some sort of scribe pilgrimage to discover that thousands of scribes got the same sign from Big E for the exact same message that's basically just "Shit is going down in the Pariah Nexus" to tie things into the current fluff.
  • Finally there is yet another subplot of a scribe who is a secret historian (which is heresy) who is recruited by Girlyman to write a history of the Horus Heresy cause Girlyman wants the leaders of the Indomitus Crusade to know the true history so they don't make the mistakes of the Great Crusade. It's implied that the Horus Heresy novels in real life exist in 40k, were written by one of the characters in the series (Cinderman, dunno spelling since I'm a book on tape), even have Girlyman reading and commenting on the line "I was there the day Horus killed the Emporer"




Overall it's a decent enough story that tries to do too much, and it's trying to make a mini HH series out of the Indomitus Crusade, which probably is a bad idea. 6/10.

The thing is I could see Orks legit trying this out.

Well in the homebrew the artist came up with, 20 clans followed Ghaz but 10 of them turned against him and broke away in a Ork version of the Horus Heresy. These two are part of the Loyalizts.

From the same artist that did the PrimOrks, I give you the lost 11th Legion.

Roboute would be proud.
