Fuck Danny boy. That's INSANELY stupid, even for Black Library shit.

The Custodes CANNOT be corrupted. The very idea is fucking retarded. They're not lesser men, they know full well what Chaos is, they're immune. There's a reason none of them are psykers.

Christ, this is to set up the King in Yellow thing he's trying to push, isn't it?

Also Horus has become Terry tier schizophrenic. He keeps thinking he's being interviewed by a remembrancer and all the other marines have to mind him and work around because he's so completely off his head he's become irresponsive and inconvenient to be around. I am not exaggerating that. He keeps asking for already dead marines to come talk to him and Abbadon is on the verge of tears.

This book in general is just about the worse 40k book I've read. And I've read the Jaq Draco novels. What surprised me the most was Dan Abnett wrote this. He wrote 18 hours worth of complete filler. This book is absolutely useless. I'd say you could cut half. But in reality all that you needed was a few pages and then the bit with the Custodes on the Vengeful spirit. And then the rest of the novel just dealing with what happens on the Vengeful Spirit. Which is going to be a whole separate novel.

I suspect the plan was for one complete book. And then Abnett was arbitrarily told to separate it into two halves and thus had a first half where fuck all happens. So Abnett fills it with utter fucking bullshit off the top of his head to fit a deadline.

Some weird shit has happened with his writing in recent years. That one GG book where there's warp-induced time skip of a decade or so smacks of GW telling Abnett he needs to get with the program and start using some of the new units they're trying to push models for. Some of the dialogue is cringe-worthy and doesn't feel natural in the slightest. I'd believe GW has started to put the screws to him in an attempt to get more money, and I'm only surprised its taken so long.

Anyone ever have Tamiya thin not fuse correctly and act brittle?

I barely put pressure on a Hive Tyrant and the bitch snapped off at the waist ball joint, cleanly. I put about three heavy layers of Tamiya on both joints just seems to have failed to melt.
Never had this happen before with tamiya.

Never, to be honest. That said, I don't layer the glue. For most well-fitting joints, I hold them together and apply the cement to the seam and let it wick into place. For big ball joints and other less flush connections (think old Boyz waists/arms and likely your tyrant's waist), I use a dab or two of "sprue goo" (bits of sprue and gates dissolved into a half or 2/3 used bottle of Tamiya cement until it has the consistency of pancake syrup) instead. You will need to hold/secure sprue goo joins a bit longer to let the solvents flash off, but I've never had one fail.

What would the Heresy be like if Vulkan, Jaghatai Khan or Angron without the Nails was the Arch Traitor ? (Thinking of making my own take on the heresy and i'm going for what i think are less obvious choices and no I'm not sticking to their Horus heresy pasts).
The Horus Heresy novels were a mistake, too bad anything not bad is being drowned out by terrible stuff later on

>What if da good ones were evil

Daring today aren't we? Realistically, the only mistake of the Horus heresy is they didn’t focus enough on wacky marine adventures meeting xenos, lone humans, and nuking the crap out of them. You only had a couple experiences early then they became mostly side mentions.

Reminds me the last GG book also had two parts with the first being completely pointless, the warp skip there was usual case of "I want to advance the overall plot without affecting my characters ".

Also Bequin just reeked of appealing to the YA crowd. A lot of fun in the Inquisition series is just going from planet to planet with their weird shit, while Bequin is already two books on the most generic "planet of adventure" ever made.

Considering he stopped writing for half a decade, I'm more inclined to blame him than GW.

Can anyone recommend me some good lore channels similiar to Luetin09?
Luetin

Here's some i know but I don't know exactly they compare with Luetin: Baldemort (Does include in his videos stories of his own set in 40k which the audience can vote so stories go certain ways)
Major kill (Australian with shorter videos and a more impolite way of speaking of lore) and The Amber King

Agreed. The highlights of the series for me have been whenever Imperials had to bring other Humans to compliance or waste xenos. I really enjoyed the Ferrus Manus, Mortarion & Fulgrim primarch novels because they were fighting Human cultures that despite sometimes being comically villainous still somehow were more interesting and had more layers to them than "muh chaos".

The Lion El'Johnson one with the psychic xenos was also pretty good, it showed how the autistic secrecy of the Dark Angels was actually a powerful asset far more than any of the main series novels did.
