I don't know if Johnson is going to actually fight Rowboat, but he's certainly going to be a huge dick.

Hell, have you seen how many successor chapters have fallen to chaos? At least you kept half your legion in line unlike those other pricks."

PSA for those who haven't noticed and might have been waiting. Plague War (The Second Dark Imperium book) finally has an Audible release today, as does the new Deathwatch novel Shadowbreaker.

Just realised my personal headcanon just evolved that the two missing Primarchs are women, who both went ‘Jesus you all suck’ and ditched the Imperium entirely in favour of exploration, and with any luck will return all Golden Age tech and just take over a section of the galaxy, ruling it sensibly.

I had this conversation about three hours ago. The general consensus was it works like Fallout supermutants - it doesn't matter how they start out, the only difference after the implants is slightly different waste recycling systems in the armour.

Got some serious Anarch vibes from the latest episode of Game of Thrones. If I was a conspiracy nut who wasn't aware that scripts and books are written way in advance, I'd say someone took some inspiration from Abnett's scene set in the undercroft. However the actual answer is the usual "everything has been done before and the more you see the more things repeat themselves, intentionally or not."

Pyrolocutus posted:Why wouldn't Gullie just say "look, I talked with dad, you should talk with dad," then they gallivant off to Terra and sit in the throne room for a while until poo poo is sorted out? Rooty Bobooty's then like "The Imperium collapses if they realise that Dad's been reduced to a total vegetable from the strain of doing what the Golden Throne still just about forces him to do in the Immaterium, we have to keep this secret" where as Lionel's like "Um, we should probably just sign the forms and let them take Dad off life support", they have a fight which has to be forcibly shoved out of the throne room by the Custodians, there's your civil war.

Are the first dark imperium book and plague war linked in any way? I went for the first book of the Fabius Bile series with my last credit instead of Dark Imperium, not sure of I need to read that first.

Guyver posted:Dark Imperium was pretty clear on the Emperor still having an intellect just that he's been stripped of an humanity that he ever had or at least stripped of the need/want to put on airs of having any to begin with. Which sounds like an excellent reason why a Primarch other than Rootaboot might say "This is Not loving Right, I'm bringing back the Imperial Truth and overthrowing this abomination".

There’s also the element that The Lion won’t trust Guilli, because he won’t be sure whether he knows about the history of his Legion - Even if he is true & trustworthy, which is a big if, he can’t be sure what reception he’ll receive from the Imperium.

Then Russ bursts through the gate drunk, headbutts them both and starts to piss on the throne. The Khan arrives shortly after on his bike, says "nah" and roars off again. Magnus slips quietly by, dusts the remains of the Emp off the throne, sits down and collapses the entire goddam sector into a black hole to be done with it. Turns out the Emperor was Alpharius all along...

There will probably be a schism as the lion wakes up and see’s the imperium is an extreme fanatic cult and goes wtf. Guili’s like it’s cool bro I was put off at first too but then I read this bible and the lion will freak the gently caress out about it and assume it’s all Guili’s fault.

Z the IVth posted:Embrace Chaos. Strangely apt if it's the Lion coming back. Thing is, the Imperial Truth isn't embracing Chaos - it's a stance that Spirituality Is Evil, Religion Will Be Stamped Out, Stop Feeding The Warp. If anything, a Primarch who still believed in the Imperial Truth's most natural allies are the Necrons.

I'm saying that if he plunges the Imperium into a civil war right when there is a gigantic warp rift in the middle of the galaxy and Chaos gribblies crawling out of every sewer, he's doing exactly what Chaos wants. i.e. Chaos.

Has Lorgar come back at any point, looked at the ultra religious Impreium and said "sniff, it's beautiful"? I know there was that great scene in one of the black legion books where a chaos marine is crippled with laughter because Lorgar won.

The Lectitio Divinitatus was written by Lorgar in his pre-chaos 'the Emperor is a God' phase so technically they've got a point.

Afer all the build-up I'm really invested now in seeing who wins the whole war. I'm going to predict Horus triumphs in the end. Guess we'll have to wait 6 books to find out for sure!
