I really hate how Dawn of War space marines look. They are far too small and they animate with this weird goose step gait.

So I have started listening to "I am Slaughter." So far it is pretty interesting, and I feel like the Chrome enemies are kinda Starship Troopers-esque which is pretty cool. (Novel, not movie) That being said, the wall-names (war names? Hard to understand which word it is) of the marines came off as a bit silly to me. When Slaughter was explaining it at the beginning by pointing out various marine names, I expected him to call one Side swipe, or Bumblebee, and then call himself Optimus Prime.

This was followed by me and my friend joking that everybody else was pissed at him for constantly destroying their cover as he charged into battle with a big goofy grin on his face.

So on Spiky bits, someone just posted a screenshot of the plot summary of the next Beast Arises book. It has Iron Warriors teaming up with the Imperial Fist successor chapter from Predator Prey. Yeah... I really hope that is just the person writing the summary being bad at their job.

They couldn't poo poo harder on the setting if they tried. The Blood Angels and Necrons thing actually made sense, and there was precedent for Marines fighting beside Xenos when circumstances commanded it. But loyalists and traitor legionnaires? Fists and Iron Warriors no less? gently caress off. They would both happily die under Ork blades if they could do it while in the pursuit of each other's blood.

The only way I could see it working would be if it was some sort of branch of Loyalists, maybe descended from the Dantioch/Polux alliance.

Also I took the thread title's advice and started finally reading Eisenhorn. I'm about 3/4 of the way through Xenos, and this book loving rules.

Congratulations on getting to enjoy Eisenhorn for the first time! It's too bad that the upcoming Xenos game isn't looking very good (although perhaps it doesn't help that the Quicklook I watched gave me motion sickness). I'm not sure even Mark Strong will ultimately be able to save it.

They got to push it back a year (my copy of Xenos teases the game coming out summer 2015) and change from iOS to PC for the primary platform and while that's definitely helped the game a lot, I feel like it's still a little shackled by its origins as a mobile title.

Did they seriously just copy+paste the same 3d model of a Skyray three times and shrink the weapons? Goddang that's lazier than that Chinese Command and Conquer game full of stolen designs from Epic.

Games Workshop threatened to sue a novelist for using the word "space marine" in the title of a book. In that occasion, Games Workshop backed down, but the company still defends publicly that they have common law trademark for the term "space marine" in all book formats. Knowing them, I think it's fairly possible their legal team will engage in some form of legal action for this one, the company is very overzealous about protecting their IP's.

That's promotional, and could cause confusion in customers. This is a couple panels halfway through a comic book. Nobody is gonna buy that comic because there's Tau tanks somewhere in it
