Rogal Dorn with the white hair and gold armor, Lorgar in Word Bearers grey with the huge purity seals next to him, and Angron looking all mad and slouchy with the brain implants on the other side of the Khan.

Re: derivative video games, a shooter along the lines of Spec Ops: The Line could be awesome. Have your character be in charge of a bunch of Imperial Guardsmen, as you fight and die across some horrible hellscape. Everything turns even more to poo poo as you progress, you have to do horrible things and go crazy, and in the end you get executed by a commissar.

Multiple endings. There should be one where you just go full on Khornate crazy and just murder people until you're either brought down or somehow survive a bunch of tough enemies.

The two unknowns are Dorn and Lorgar. Lorgar, also a baldie, is the one furthest from Horus with his big gently caress off mace, the Illuminarium.

The Astartes Pattern Baldness is so common between the Adeptus Astartes we can only conclude it was designed by the Emprah of Mankind himself. Also, it makes you better at singing:

That's more "transitionary" Fulgrim (i.e. pre-heresy Fulgrim with a slightly malevolent cast to his features). Even after Fulgrim tricks the daemon or whatever and gets his body back, he then, himself, as Fulgrim, becomes a daemon prince who looks like a weird snake demon thing with a bunch of arms (that wield swords). It's in this form that he "kills" Roboute Guilliman.

I actually thought that was the case for a long time; doesn't it make sense when engineering a super-soldier who's going to spend most of their lives (or at least the important points) with their heads encased in a tightly-fitted helmet with plugs and stuff in their skulls? I wouldn't want hair getting all up in that area!

But that really cuts down on individual flair in a civilization (and setting in general) that considers flair so important that using an entire moon's worth of metals to build a fortress-sized decorative eagle on a warship is a perfectly fine way to allocate materials!

I am reading Helsreach, and apparently Stormherald is around 50 meters tall? I really do not understand the size of titans in the books, i swear they change from book to book.

Yet this is including the massive church ontop of the titan, including massive marble statues of the primarchs, as well as a court yard. Isn't 50 meters a tad short for that kind of thing?

How tall can a church (not cathedral) be, 10 meters? A titan can mount that.

Khopesh. But a khopesh seems more suited to the Word Bearers - I would imagine Fulgrim to have a very elegant rapier.

I could see that as being his personal sword given to him by master artisans of Mars but the sword he kills with was the Lear sword. Maybe fantasy MMOs and stuff have just put stereotypes that Nagas and such use.

Right, this is a thing in Spec Ops.

Major Spec Ops: The Line spoiler incoming. Things go really bad half way into the game. Your dude suffers a mental break down and starts imagining poo poo as an excuse for his actions. Once you beat the game, an American rescue team shows up to take your post traumatic rear end back home. This is where the ending branches. The branch is your gun.

Its story goes to some grimdark places. Even if you changed nothing about the game except replace the fighting forces with Imperial Guard, it would still be more 40K than any other 40K game out there.

Well, the Arc de Triomphe is 50 meters tall, and probably as close to the scale of a Titan as you're going to get. I can imagine some statues and a small cathedral on top of that.

Also, yeah - titan scale varies depending on the author. One of the audiobooks has an Imperator having weapons that are "kilometers" long and wading through an ocean, so there you go.

Here's a decent attempt as scale:

It's just the way the setting is, maaaaan. Myths and legends being retold. One author's Imperator isn't the same as another author's Imperator, just like ADB's Logan Grimnar isn't the same as-- :shrek:
