Always been surprised Legends hasn’t done that or the bandana post-Fatal Attractions Wolverine.

He's not a Space Marine, he's a Primarch. The genetically and magically created artificial sons of the Emperor of Man. The Space Marine Legions were created later based on the Primarch's genetic information.

OK so a regular Space Marine, after being pumped full of extra organs and super growth hormones to become a seven foot tall muscle man, the final step in their transformation is the implantation of the Black Carapace, a subdermal layer that directly interfaces with their armor. In the video posted above, those ports on the guy's body? Those are how the Black Carapace links to the armor. It means that the armor moves the exact same time as their muscles, removing the unavoidable delay that happens with other, more primitive forms of power armor.

How horrific that is is a matter of personal taste, but for Marines who have fallen to Chaos they can get way more horrific, as the corrupting power of the Warp blends man and machine. Many Chaos Space Marines stop being able to remove their armor as it becomes fused permanently to their body, and may even begin to feel through it as if it was their skin.

That's 40k Guilliman. So far they seem to have no plans for any Horus Heresy stuff, only 40k stuff. Which rules out Horus. But Abaddon is on their list, they do plan to do an Abaddon soon.

edit: picture of Abaddon model.

I’m being flippant, but canonically Orks absolutely would wait. They’re there for the fight, if it means they have to wait for the Space Marines to tie their shoelaces before throwing down, I’m confident they’d do it.

Once they're in their armour they can live in it almost indefinitely. Also they can do it faster with just a couple of arming thralls, but the Imperium loves its rituals

In case of emergency it can be rushed, even done without benediction from a Tech Priest. But they believe this upsets the armor’s machine-spirit and leads to lower performance.

So they typically don the armor before they enter the engagement zone and stay in the armor until combat is complete.

Chaining from that, I love the fan theory that Commissar Yarrick was undefeatable because the Orks believed he was undefeatable, so their latent psychic energy made it so.

Toy related, it’s looking like my preorder of the Joytoy Szarekh Necrons (and maybe Celestine and her Geminae?) will be arriving from ShowZ any day now.

In his newest video Dan Larson says the Super7 Silverhawks line is seemingly dead after some rightsholding bullshit. Condolences to anyone who was buying that line.

Flynn said there would be news on wave 5 soon on his last Fwoosh interview, and Super7 did a Q&A on Twitter a few days ago where someone asked about Silverhawks reaction. They replied that they are coming, but may be a bit. So I'd guess they're still working on some things.

Theyvalso refuse to kill him. There was a story where he was defending a city that eventually fell to orks and he was captured with a few of his retinue. When he was brought before the warboss, the warboss gave him his hat back, loaded all the PoWs onto a plane and were instructed to "make the next 'un just as fun"

There's a fan theory that Ghazghkull has launched a Waaaagh to destroy Primarch Daemon Prince Angron because he thinks Angron's killed Yarrick (which stems from one of the skulls on Angron's belt having a cybernetic eye, or something). Probably not true, but a fun idea.
