There's been zero mention in the fluff of the Ultramarines or Sons of Horus having Chaplains at all, so it may have been an innovation that was simply not present in all legions, like how Librarians seem to have been absent from many. Or it could be that all legions had chaplains but the fluff simply doesn't talk about them. I think the only legions so far explicitly described as having chaplains are the Word Bearers, Blood Angels, Emperor's Children, Salamanders, White Scars, and the Space Wolf Rune Priests and Iron Hand Iron Fathers. I'd imagine that when Guilliman drew up the Codex Astartes he made a bunch of those quirks official like how techmarines and chaplains paint their armor save the non-compliant chapters.

I think every Legion that had Librarians received Chaplains when the Edict of Nikaea came down. Ultramarines, Raven Guard, and Imperial Fists had Librarians, so I'd assume that some or all of them got Chaplains as well. None of those three seem particularly likely to tolerate visiting Word Bearers chaplains like some of the others did.

Could Chaplains be considered soviet political officers of soviet subs? Making sure that librarians and psykers adhered to the Edict of Nikea while still maintaining a compliment of psykers after the Emps banned them?

I just found it interesting, that's all. I love how ADB has sprinkled bits of humanity poking out of Talos and co. from time to time. It lets you empathize with them, only to get a cold smack of reality whenever they do something deplorable, and then you are reminded: these are serial killers who turned their back on humanity for humanity's sake, and it left them bitter old assholes.

Funnily enough there is another film with strange parralels to 40K and its by the Disney corporation, another company known for shady business practices. Anyone remember Black Hole? Its the one with robots. Connections include a space ship inspired by Gothic architecture, a group of humans lobotomised into robotic slaves, a villain using a tear in time and space to travel great distance, that villain ending up in a hellish other dimension and merged with a large killing machine. It also has the late Ernest Borgnine dangling on some string, and a humorous robot sidekick, so you know its good  Also I see they've reissued the frankly very dull Deathwatch novel by

So i'm going away for a few days next week. I was thinking of picking up the new Mechanicum audiobook to wile away a few long car journeys. Is it any good? I have read it, I read it shortly after it came out. I have absolutely no recollection of anything that happens in it or whether it's any good or not. Which may be a bad sign. So, worth getting? Edit: So after Mechanicum, that just leaves Nemesis of the full length novels without a audiobook release right? I wonder if they'll do it for the sake of completeness.

The latter definitely but I'm drawing a blank on the back flipping though that isn't surprising given how dull it was, I think the back flipping terminators were in the Eldar* one he did, The only characters I remember from Warrior Brood was an incredibly obnoxious Interrogator, a wheel chaired bound Inquisitor, a Space Marine Librarian from the Mantis something chapter and a Crimson Fist, I don't think they were in Terminator armour but could be wrong. *Yes the one with the Eldar Paedophile.

I think that that was the series where the one Eldar shining spear is sorta kinda in love with the one Marine or something. Also Dark Eldar worshipping Slaanesh or something. It has been a while since I read them. They were very bad.

I just read the scene where a young Corax hands a helmet to a young girl his own age and there's this little spark. Then later on because of his modifications he grows to a full adult while she still remains a child. He pats her on the head reassuringly. The whole thing is just heartbreaking

I should read Wrath of Iron, but right now I'm reading the Eye of Terror. It's very different than what I expected it to be. Would a Rogue Trader be able fly around the Eye and just not get his poo poo wrecked at the first opportunity? I'm entertained but it's so different from modern 40k books. It was the same with Space Marine. I really liked Ian Watsons writing style, but some weird poo poo goes down in that book. I'm restarting the Inquisition Wars trilogy after Eye of Terror, also written by Ian Watson. I read Draco a few years ago but didn't have the sequels then, but now I do. Anything I should keep me eye open for?

Keep in mind just how drat big the Eye of Terror is. There are multiple Chaos empires within the region. It's certainly possible to fly around it without instantly being attacked, but it'd still be suicidal considering all of reality is constantly shifting around you.

Do you have the original ones or the one where they've gotten rid of the squat? If you do, just keep that in mind, it explains why the Admech guy is so out of character. Also, the dancing terminator-armour-clad assassin lord is pretty great. You could absolutely be a Rogue Trader in the Eye of Terror, it's just that warp storms etc. become more of an issue. People(ish) are still going to need food and other sundries, and you're just the being to provide them. Sure, more likely than not you'll have to keep an eye out for betrayals, but really when isn't that the case? As a bonus, some of the stuff in the EoT is pretty choice. It's a good place to get all kinds of exotic weapons and substances in general. You might not need the heart of a Bloodthirster with Tzeentch's sigil carved on it, but somebody does.

Yeah, you're right, I was mixing the Eye with the full on Warp. I didn't really think it through before I posted that. I mean entire civilizations exist in the Eye after all. Isn't that where the Blood Pact guys come from?

Originally, I believe, but the Blood Pact had turned the Sabbat Worlds into their base of operations almost a hundred years before the Sabbat Crusade began.

Was walking through Chapters today, and I saw that Black Library has done another reissue of First and Only, with a new cover. Are they planning on rereleasing the other early Ghosts books as well? Another thing I noticed was that the back cover blurb now mentions the Astra Militarum instead of Imperial Guard, and now the Sabbat Worlds have been Chaos occupied for a thousand years rather than a hundred. Is that a typo on their part, or am I misremembering? Because I could have sworn it was mentioned that the Sabbat Crusade was only launched after it became clear that the cluster was no longer under Imperial control, and only after a few decades had passed.

IIRC they upped the length of time it had been out of Imperial control around mid-way through the series when Slaydo's legacy came to the forefront. He had made it a "life's ambition" to liberate the cluster.

Also GW couldn't trademark 'Imperial Guard' so they're the 'Astra Militarum' now.

So they went from easily identifiable Imperial Guard to pig latin "Space Army." Right, because anyone who is looking up the 40K Imperial Guard on google is going to confuse them for the Emperor's Guards from Star Wars or the Napoleonic Guard.

They're still referred to as "Imperial Guard" and "Imperial Guardsmen" even in the codex. They use it about as often as "Adeptus Astartes" is used instead of "Space Marine" so it's not a complete replacement of it.

Basically that as far as I can tell. They did the same with the paints a while back, and they're all co-incidentally slightly different and lower quality. Again.
