Yeah but I think if you consider how sick that scene would look on the cover of a power metal album you would realize your priorities are all wrong and it's truly the essence of 40k

My favorite part of Gaunts Ghosts is that Abnett had to go on twitter to ask if he had killed a minor ghost character at some point because he thought he probably had but wasnt positive. he had

It's like literally the least surprising twist to ever have with genestealers because it's their entire loving gimmick and what they are famous for doing. It's like having a twist that Alpha Legion double crossed someone or the the Night Lords are bastards. Or that the hero rogue guardsmen is going to get yelled at/shot by a commissar.

To be fair while it's the least surprising, you really don't see it coming but it's also not your fault for missing it. Visually there aren't any signs that they're cultists or that anyone helping them is. In fact, the episode kind of bullshits you because you see the baby a couple of times and it looks completely normal and the wife and husband look normal too. There's a bunch of sacrifice on the part of their friends and family to get them to safety and it's only after they make it onto the craft that one of the Mechanicus thralls notices the forehead ridges on the mother after her hood slips upwards. Then the show does quick flashes to moments that reveal the secret passage they've been taking was set up by the cult and OH NO EVERYONE ONE THE SHIP IS A CULTIST and that they're all there to save the purestrain.

Assassinorum Kingmaker is my favourite BL book in a while. Now I want other books about more niche bits of the imperium. I found Rites of Passage about the navigator houses and Void King about rogue traders - is either any good?

MMAgCh posted:Like hell a book that includes the phrase "it starts raining main battle tanks" can be skipped. If you just care about the Word Bearers story, it certainly can. They are little more than cartoon villains with no development in that particular book. Nothing happens in it that is not sufficiently explained in Betrayer. But yeah, if you want a well-written buildup and a good Ultramarines handjob, by all means it's good fare.

Cheers, all! I still can't decide which I'll pick, but I've got a few days until the next Audible credit anyway. Just now finished Wraight's The Emperor's Legion. I think it's the best BL audiobook out of the half a dozen I've listened to so far, and I'm checking out the sequel for sure. The ending's only so-so, but Wraight has such a good handle ~the vibe~ so well that I would sincerely recommend this to anyone who wants an introduction to the Indomitus thingy. It uses a lot of the elements Haley's Avenging Son did, but just so much better. I really appreciate how Wraight's characters only sort of recognize how old and busted the Imperium truly is, and how they try to cope with it instead of overturning the dinner table and turning the 4th of July into the 4th of poo poo like that one guy in Avenging Son. And the bolter porn was actually good for once.
