No, not a Space Marine Chapter...

Forge World Uhuruyall, now a fleet based forge after trying to build their factories on a Space Marine recruiting world without prior approval.

It's OK. I don't do HH but I always thought the Chaos deviancy really wasn't played up much in HH. With the helmet on it's good (the face on the leg is odd), the helmetless face is just... meh?

The emperor's children started body modding before istvaan 3.

Got sent to reddit while looking for specific painting advice, made the mistake of scrolling down and saw this first thing. Reddit fulfilling its stereotype perfectly. At least the execution is nice.

I see Fabius Bile is succeeding in creating his "New Men."
Too bad they are utter degenerates like the rest of the Emperor's Children.

Halfway through the Horus Heresy novels, the thing I find peculiar about about EC is that they're only really described to be looking clean and regal during Istvaan III. After that, they get super fucked up and demented extremely quickly, but I don't find that their HH models really reflect that, even for their legion-exclusive stuff. Here, for example, that cape ought to be human skin.

I suppose this helps with the idea, however, that you're meant to be able to narratively run any legionary army loyalist or traitor in the HH game.

You can't flip a switch to go from great crusade emperor's children. The horus heresy is 9-10 years long. First edition definitely represented the early heresy more. Now we have the lesser heresy here. They weren't uniform on how they go down their paths to heresy. There are palatine blades that make it to the siege before going full degen. Having everyone start wearing skin and and hot pink the second fulgrim went sussy is silly and only flanderizes the legions more then they already are.

The Outcome Justifies the Deed.

Na, things start going downhill for them as soon as Fulgrim nabs that Blade of Laer and the worst excesses of him and his legion get encouraged. The infamous Maraviglia was well before Istvaan.

If you are talking about the Covenant of Fire, I would not be surprised if they use Word Bearer geneseed since they look like Pre-Heresy Word Bearers and their chapter badge is almost exactly the same as the Imperial Heralds' legion badge.
 
Novels!

I took a scattershot approach to reading the Horus Heresy novels. I know the over-arching lore so I was able to just grab books like Angel Exterminatus (I'm a Perterabo fan - he's the most relatable Primarch to me) or Scars (I'll read any of the books by Chris Wraight, one of my very favourite WH40K writers). And skip over the weaker ones. With the Siege of Terra sequence though I'm feeling a bit more locked in. I read the first two but the third is by the Abominable Gav Thorpe. I tried to slog through the Path of the Eldar series and it was downright painful. I want to skip it. Someone who is reading these tell me how lost I'll be if I do that. Or even what I need to know if I do as I have very low chance of reading it unless people here tell me he's upped his game considerably.

Also, following recommendations here I have now read The Infinite and the Divine. I've never read a Necron novel before and I found them FAR more characterful and amusing than I expected. I also liked the epic sweep of how long the novel took.

The Necrons in their first codices literally had no personality. They were just self-perpetuating soulless machines trying to wage war in a universe that left them behind millions of years ago. Implacable, unreasonable forces of nature, more like robo-Nids I guess.

Now they’re space Egyptians.

I've been around a long time and Necrons came out around the time I actually stopped playing WH40K. (Not that it wouldn't be fun to pick it up again). So I still had something of the soulless robots view of them, I guess. Trayzn is a hilarious character. And his rivalry with Orikan was great. I loved their continual one-upping of each other and the occasional slapping down delivered to both of them by the council.

The only weakness in the novel was mine, really. I don't know when this Great Awakening actually is in the human timeline so had a little trouble in places grasping when specific events were actually occurring in relation to the Empire. Only at the end was there a reference to the Great Rift so I mentally pegged it around the time of the latest novels. Has the Great Awakening actually begun? I thought it was something still in the (far) future and Necrons were still almost wholly asleep.

Are there any other novels in which Trayzn appears?

EDIT: Found this. Made me smile.
