They also had some developer interviews from Saber Interactive for Space Marine 2. Looks like Titus got demoted to Lieutenant when he got back to the Ultramarines.

tbh It was kind of weird that Titus was a captain in the first game, captains have an entire company at their disposal and usually don't tool around with just two other guys, it would make way more sense if he was just a squad sergeant

bob dobbs is dead posted:well good on them uhh... not supporting despotic empires makin the despotic empire game Pretty much every Russian developer I know of moved to Western Europe at some point in the last 20 years. Edit: I had paid absolutely no attention to the primarch novel series up until just now. Which of them have the least bolter porn and the most political intrigue or deep emotional pathos? Or scenes of the primarchs' childhood or early adulthood, because many of them seem to be set after the Emperor contacted them. FPyat fucked around with this message at 04:19 on Jun 2, 2022 |

I've been listening to the first Dawn of Fire audiobook and this has to be one of the worst readers I have had the misfortune of listening to. Holy poo poo. Why does his every character voice sound like they're taking a poo poo, it's legitimately really bad.

Omegon does, but Alpharius thought he could double duty burning his Terran intel assets along with making a fight look good with Dorn while he told him what was going on, which ended how you would expect when Dorn ignored him and killed him. Or that was just a veteran legionnaire in disguise. Probably not though.

Can anyone recommend any books, stories, or audio dramas that are set during the Unification Wars or Solar reclamation and even early Great Crusade? Warhammer Post Emperor appearing and Pre Hersey, is a really an interesting period of the lore for me.

Peyote Panda posted:I liked it quite a bit but that book really should have just been titled Birth of the Imperium. Valdor's just one of the main characters who happened to be present for the events therein rather than the focus of the novel. It is a good overview of the time when the Unification of Terra was transitioning to the Imperium's Great Crusade. Well then you wouldn't get it confused with Valedor as easily

Finding out about the nuke plants they use and just other little details of how things are and work is just so cool for me. The Early Imperium is such a different beast from even Great Crusade era Imperium.

It would be smart to crosspost this here instead of the mini painting thread. Does anyone have any favorite Word Bearers art? I'm going to be adding a significant amount of bling to a custom Bearer of the Word, and I'd really like to lean into the greenstuff work. As such I need source material. Also, does anyone know specifically what the Colchis/Colchisian aesthetic is based on?

MonsterEnvy posted:Apparently Rogue Trader will also be based on the actual Rogue Trader TTRPG. I know it's based on the sector where FFG's RT game is placed but no idea if they're using those rules of Cubicle 7's Wrath & Glory instead. Because the latter is a bit less rocket tag and does have far better support for a lot of the character that has been mentioned.

They said on twitter its the FFG RT system. Also, finished Lords of Silence. Very different from the ADB Chaos stuff, and thoroughly depressing -- as is appropriate. Really liked the Dantine stuff and kept rooting for him to break the sorcery and get a noble end or one last defiant hoorah. Definitely the most engaging and depressing part of the book It was really neat to see such a wide swath of opinions in the same Warband. Also a co-worker dumped a metric ton of Audible credits in my lap, so next up is the Alpharius novel and then Master of Mankind. Very exciting stuff.

I liked Alpharius a lot, it did a good job of providing the Alpha Legion with some needed backstory without compromising their secretive character. I also like how likable Alpharius is while also showing his hubris and possible naivete especially when he leaves the planet where mobs are yelling "kill maim burn" and just thinks it's fine and nothing to worry about.

I read Man of Iron recently and what on Terra did UR-025 mean when he said I have met the Omnissiah, the actual one, not the Earthling corpse? Even knowing about the Emperor and the Void Dragon I couldn't guess as to whom he was alluding to. Is this answered in more recent works?

This thread had an interesting breakdown of it Though I don't know if we've seen anything new that sheds any light. They're really resistant to actually exploring the Age of Strife, probably because at that point you lose literally everything iconic about 40k except like Orks
