The Thunder Warrior from the outcast dead never shows up again right? What a disappointing book. Not terribly written, just kinda dull to me

I quite liked it. It lacks something in terms of a really concrete and coherent goal and direction, but it's a part of the machinery of the Imperium that's fun to see and there's some descriptions of mass psychosis following Magnus' Big Oopsie that are just phenomenal.

Alpharius' primarch book is so good. He's such a prick, I love it.

Brutal Kunnin' was great. Some of the editing seems a little wonky, but it was overall a terrific read. I just started on Assassinorum, and that's shaping up as excellent very quickly.

I was watching YouTube lore video recently on Primaris Space Marines and someone said there was a story where a batch of Primaris were being delivered to their new chapter by the Custodes, only to find out en route that their chapter had turned renegade. The Custodes told them to sit tight while they figured out what to do but apparently the Primaris marines were all “I don’t know guys, maybe we should talk to them and hear them out, negotiate?” And the Custodes were like “nope” and killed the Primaris. Does that sound familiar to folks? Anyone know where I could find that?

I've always kinda hated that short story because IMO while custodes are supposed to by hyper-loyal they are also supposed to be pragmatic and smart (which is why they get sent out for spy missions and poo poo) and a Custode going "Welp everyone from the chapter including these guys are now guilty of heresy" is the kinda poo poo you see some of the more lovely commisars/inquistors do.

you can write transhuman bulging muscles, you can write transhuman insane reflexes, you can write in the second heart and the acid-spit and so on but you can't write a transhuman mind. goes the same for the golden oily boys too

Custodes don't actually like or trust Astartes, First Born or Primaris. They all come from the same gene-wraught imperfect bullshit that started the Horus Heresy. So if they get even the slightest whiff of Chaos or even a small reason to off a batch of them, they're going to fuckin do it.

What was the story and chapter where there was a whiff of that and the new primaris knew they were all about to die even tho theyve done nothing wrong and had a whole THING about it?

I'm pretty sure the Custodes simply told the Primaris marines to surrender their weapons while they investigated, but the Primaris refused.

As soon as there was anything short of absolute and immediate obedience they killed them. It wasn't even so much that the primaris outright refused it was more like "hold on a second let's talk about this" and that was enough for the custodes.

The Custodes explained why, too: astartes are almost always loyal to their brothers first. If a chapter has gone renegade, assume every marine is dangerous until proven otherwise.

If I'm thinking of the same time period, said emperor was overthrown when a local equivalent of a sheriff was transporting prisoners to their death sentences. One escaped and the penalty for allowing the escape was also death so the sheriff released the rest of the prisoners and eventually lead a successful rebellion.

Sephyr posted:This is literally never the case. Custodes make actual genestealer cults go "Hey dudes, might wanna be less culty and insular, you know. just saying." The story can be found here quote:The world of Khassedur had been their destination through long months of toil and trial, across blazing battlefields and amidst the teeth of ferocious warp storms. Their duty had been to reach it, to deliver the two full companies of Brazen Drakes Greyshields to their newly adopted home world, and to see that Chapter Master Kaslyn accepted the gift of Cawl’s Miracle. quote:‘Shield-Captain, we do not know the Chapter has truly turned,’ he said. ‘This may be a mistake, some machination of the enemy. We may have brethren even now fighting to restore the honour of the Brazen Drakes on that world. We should aid them, not abandon them! You ask us to condemn our comrades, even ourselves without recourse to proof. I am not in the habit of betraying my battle-brothers.’ quote:‘You give us no chance to speak in our defence!’ cried one of Gerion’s brothers, no longer able to hold his silence. ‘These sins are not ours to account for! We have fought loyally and done no wrong, and now–’ quote:‘Brothers, we are betrayed!’ he roared into his gorget’s vox mic, throwing himself sideways as he reached for his own drake-embossed power sword. ‘Consider all outside our Chapter hostile! Seize the fleet!’ quote:‘You have torn this fleet in two, traitor!’ spat Gerion at Tyvar, as the two warriors pressed against one another’s blades. ‘You have turned on the Emperor’s loyal servants. You have slain my brothers and forced my hand!’ The Brazen Drakes were given two chances, and instead they doubled down and then tried to take the ships from the Emperor's own. The Custodes were correct to butcher them all, and I hope they successfully scoured their home world as well
