Got home from work and the missus surprised me with some Solar Auxilia.
Been going back and forth between which legion to do for the (dogshit) new edition of Horus Heresy and eventually decided to skip choosing and do Solar Auxilia. Change is good.
It's a start. Will be nice not assembling space marines, orks or tau because I've been doing that for literal decades at this point. Not looking as forward to painting them, they're very small, very detailed but it'll help me improve. Probably gonna paint them as Colchisian Torquatii to support my small Word Bearers force or Archite Palatines to support my Emperors Children.
I think it's pretty clear he just chose the worst possible outcomes and followed those. Like when Konrad was chasing that boy and got the vision of the boy either wounding him, or sparing the kid and the kid going on to be a great and honorable soldier for him in the future. Curze chooses to kill the boy only to realise afterwards that the boy would never have been able to reach the knife in time to wound him.
Curze was fucked in the head from the start for sure, but he made the choices that lead to him becoming the Night Haunter and set the example for his Legion to follow. Just like Sev told him, Curze could have gone about things a different way but he didn't.
