I mean, certain chapters are high on the smell of their own poo poo (metaphorically) but others are pretty kind to the people they are protecting. I mean, a Salamander would definitely do it, and I could see an Imperial Fist doing it as well, since I'd imagine their longstanding, being the best at making and protecting fortresses mindset would allow for positive feelings about the people they are supposed to die to protect.

An Imperial Fist would only compliment a well built and well maintained fortification. A human being is not a well built and well maintained fortification.

euphronius posted:I loved the Hollow Mountain but at one point an imperial fist compliments a human and uh Spinoza carries an Imperial Fist crozius arcanum as a weapon, with grav thingies so she can wield it. And not just any crozius arcanum but an IF chapter relic gifted to her by the head chaplain of the fists. It's why she is able to summon them at one point. This itself is the ultimate compliment. Wraight wrote a companion short story about what she did to earn it. Iirc the story is called Argent. The guy that gets complimented (if we are thinking of the same thing) has pushed himself beyond all human endurance. The fists are hyper focused on duty with little compassion, but when they see the same in a human they recognize it. There is more than one compliment given to a baseline human by a Fist in the SoT series. It's a huge deal, and rare, but it happens.

It's actually kind of amazing how awful Erebus is. In a civilization of trillions, he wins the gold ribbon for being the worst. That takes dedication to being a complete piece of poo poo.

It will never stop being funny to me that the Emperor was like "yeah we'll turn your lovely old dad into a post-human warmachine" for Lorgar, but couldn't be assed to spend 2 minutes killing Angron's slave masters. Angron is as justified as he is unstable.

Speaking of Word Bearers and KP/Erebus being shits, I've been reading through The First Heretic as I wait for the end of the Man, the WB kinda go 0-60 on the whole corrupt heretic thing. And it's not even just some spur-of-the-moment thing like with Horus or the Death Guard, or some long term manipulation like with Magnus and the TSons, just straight from "Let's look at these other people's faiths" to "THE SCREAMING IN MY HEAD WILL NEVER STOP!!!!!"

Angron is as justified as he is unstable. It’s bizarre-there have been two books and two novellas about Angron, all of which were quite good, as well as a scene in Master of Mankind in which the Emperor is literally talking to someone about his plans for Angron, and there’s never been an explanation. I wonder if they’re saving it for something?

I felt it's kind of long-term manipulation since it's established early on that (nothing here from past the first half) KP and Erebus secretly kept the "old faith" alive, which was really just chaos worship. Then they waited for Lorgar to have the slightest crisis of faith to take advantage of. The moment he gets yelled at by daddy, they knock on his door together and ask him if he's heard the good word. Lorgar hears voices pre-corruption, but that's just the raw deal behind being psychic and never being told "Hey boys, careful because there's malevolent entities out there that are gonna seep into your mind." The seeds were there, and Lorgar was too charismatic for his own good so every WB would follow him down whatever path he took. The book made me like Lorgar because he didn't fit into the toxic masculinity of the astartes lifestyle, knew that and never pretended to so he could focus on what he did enjoy, and was hated by his family for it. I saw him as an artsy son with a lovely football dad who dismisses his son's achievements and WHY CAN'T YOU BE LIKE DORN *throws beer bottle against the wall* I began to like the Word Bearers a lot... outside of the dynamic duo leading them now. I hope to see a Lorgar 40k model now that he's done painting his Menoth army in the warp. Marin Karin fucked around with this message at 23:26 on Apr 3, 2020 |

I gotta say, it's been very interesting choice to have the audience not privy to any dialogue in these Astartes shorts. Not from the marines or their victims. Just the ominous orb speech and the muffled yelling of the Inquisitor through his helmet. Since it's the work of one guy I can understand the limitations of not being able to get a full cast of voice actors but they've been able to really make it into a strength. e; Would you all consider the psychic orb speech as diegetic? I would.

Speaking of Angron and why Big E decided to yank him out of there rather than defeating the slavemasters, there's a theory bopping around the various 40k lore discussion areas that Big E drove a wedge between himself and Angron intentionally. The two main points brought up are that he may have been aware that something like the Heresy was coming (see the short story The Board Is Set) and may have planned to yield some of the Primarchs to the Chaos Gods in exchange for something (see the mystery around what the hell he was doing on Molech with its portal to the warp, decades before the Heresy). Angron pre-Nails was a champ, but clearly broken post-Nails, and when Istvaan rolled around, his own (loyalist) sons were like "Yeah we've known for a while our dad is ruined, we're going to take him down or die trying". Every loyalist on Istvaan except for the World Eaters beat a retreat from Angron's arrival, the World Eaters charged. Big E may have then basically offered up Angron as a sacrifice, maneuvering things so the traitors were stuck with a broken Primarch during the Heresy. Or rather, an additional broken Primarch, given that Perturabo seems to be the only one worth a poo poo during the Siege  MariusLecter posted:So the word "part" can also mean "mostly" or "almost entirely" ? Honestly, even the most non-Warp inclined (as far as actively using Warp juju) Primarch is basically a fleshy shell for a warp entity.

That's why I'm convinced Lorgar is going to pack the demon horns back into his skull and come back to the imperium as the new eccelciarch to troll Gulliman

I think it may have been the Inquisitor (or his disembodied soul?) getting one last shot in - you can see that when he uses his psychic powers earlier in the video it manifests as a black smoke, which is what hits the tentacle thingy.
