I only just today found out that Tyranids with ranged weapons have guns they hold in their hands. That's something.

Is it worth getting the audio drama for Baggit and Clodde and do they use helium or some other effect for Baggit's ratling voice? It absolutely is, the voices and writing are great and it is interspersed with official imperium propaganda radio broadcasts that are rad.

Mark of Calth is really fun, really helps that all the stories are focused on one theme. Athame is marvelous.

Arquinsiel posted:While that is correct and spore mines are hillarious, the Spike Rifle reminds me of the types of Octpus and Sea Slug that don't want to get eaten when mating so they have detatchable penises to fire at females. Or each other. Does this result in what I like to think of as twitch-shooter penis 360 noscope duels? Laser Squid Nemesis

I finished the Legacy of Caliban omnibus. My overall impression is that the longer it went on, the more it felt like it needed to go through a few more writing drafts, as some stuff felt really weirdly paced and disjointed, from prose that introduced story-redefining twists with very little fanfare and flashbacks that were straight up cut and paste from earlier books (and short stories), the very first of which started off as a scene from a different character's perspective but then switched right back to the original one. But there's one thing I'm gonna need to make sure I understood right: Are the Dark Angels actually responsible for Caliban exploding, due to duking it out with the Death Guard just outside a loving time portal, and attacking the Ouroboros, the warp entity contained inside the planet, which we know is connected to the Tuchulcha, which explains itself as existing in every moment in time simultaneously, which means that disturbing it would very much have apocalyptic consequences? Because if so, that's loving hilarious, and also clever in a superb dramatic-irony way, but given the inconsistencies may very well have been an accident of Gav Thorpe's writing than the actual climax it was building towards. On a much lesser note my theory is that Cypher is Annael, as the last we see of him he's riding off on his motorcycle into the metaphorical sunset of a self-induced warp explosion so why the gently caress not? Anyway, Asmodai is the best.

In HH, we found out that Cypher is a title within the OG Dark Angels, but that was the first and only set of Heresy novels I 100% lost interest in. I'd be curious if anything came from that.

I'm almost finished and it's great. Mike Brooks hasn't had a bad book yet, but each Ork book has been better than the last. He really gets what makes them fun. Definitely don't skip it, it's a lot of fun.

Brutal Kunnin was great because, among other things, it did a great job of conveying the exact ratio of respect and schadenfreude that orks feel for one another.

I'm reading that one now. Immediately we start with household pratfalls with a Tzeentchian minion. I'm happy at least that they establish outright that there are lady marine-equivalents alongside the titular dude, and thus they're completely lore-compatible with Fallen warbands in the TTG. The question since Descent of Angels has been who in present-day 40k is using the Cypher name, and the sensible theory is it's still just Zahariel, but I'm not here for sensible theories.

So I know this isn't exactly on topic, but I've named my sloop (small boat) in Sea of Thieves 'Only in Death', my galleon (large boat) 'Armour of Contempt' and now I need a name for my brigantine (medium boat). Getting the in-game money for a ship is a lot of effort, and changing it costs real money, so I want a name that has the same sort of punch and gravitas as the other two. I considered 'The End and the Death', but then I'd be using "Death" twice and also it's kind of contextual.

If you're doing GG titles then His Last Command works, though it's a little downbeat.

Adding it to the list though. a lovely king posted:If you're doing GG titles then His Last Command works, though it's a little downbeat. I considered that, but then I thought of an enemy going "wait is it my last command or the captain or yours? is it a threat or are you depressed?". Also it's more that Dan is just really good at coming up with badass phrases.

Not a 40k reference but I have always loved naming ships in computer games after HMS Black Joke, one of the most prolific anti-slavery ships the Royal Navy has every had.

Culture ship names aside, a little googling turned up this list of ship names from the Horus Heresy. There's some great ones there, including: The Agony and the Ecstasy Daughter of Woe Strontium Dawn Sorrow Vector Judgement’s Intercession Reason of Truth Descent From Hope Lineage of Virtue Unyielding Glory Indomitable Will Portent of the Western Dawn Sanctifying Grace Rapture of the Void
