Crab Battle posted:I've particularly liked getting a look at the character of Titus Endor, his arc is ultimately quite grounded and very depressing. Best short story ever written for 40k, and GW (allegedly) goes "that won't do, never write anything this good again, and remember the Bolter Porn Quota® must stand".

It's very depressing when you're reading, like, even the more cosmic parts of the E&TD and clearly some top office editor nerd has come in and said "no there needs to be a combat encounter here and you need to detail all the weapons they use in game-accurate language otherwise I can't get hard".

 Although since John needs to retrace their path to leave the threads, presumably he'll wander by Pech eventually. Might want to leave that for last though in case he's salty about being left as a statue

I think the Hunter the Reckoning series they've been working on is way better than the 40k stuff, so I don't mind. Same characters, different setting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1Kc0xuYnfQ&t=1419s Behold the Emperor in all his majesty and foresight.

The reason I couldn't watch HtP was because the character were essentially the same, but it's also very obvious that they enjoy doing that more than TTS. They should've just said they quit instead of using the whole Animation TOS as an excuse.

MariusLecter posted:His existence is to cause exactly this kind of response. It's like asking how you can finally kill Lucius. You can't, he returns for Slaanesh's amusement and Slaanesh is a god, not an algorithm you can trick. The gods will rain their blessings down upon Erebus for as long as that's the funny thing that also gets them shiny new toys. The fact that they do this right in front of Lorgar just makes it funnier.

Even assuming apotheosis to a Daemon Prince isn't soul-suicide, it really seems like it takes all the verve out of the Primarch what got raised to princedom.

Magnus seems to be the only one that got daemonized and mostly stayed the same. I wish Angron was a bit more than just a screeching rage-beast, but there you go. Other like Perty and Lorgar have not shown up in any real capacity for us to really judge.

Erebus doesn't want to be elevated to Daemon Royalty or become the next Warmaster - he loves being the Old Four's advocate and lobbyist. Imagine any right wing talk radio dude backed by literal gods instead of Big Oil, the Kochs, and the Heritage Foundation. It's the adage about loving your job and never having to work a day in his life. He's Gallant to Lorgar's Goofus. E: I like and appreciate how the first captains of the traitor legions tend to better embody the chapters and gods than their Primarchs. It's like there's less distinction when the volume is turned down. moths fucked around with this message at 13:59 on Feb 2, 2024 |

Same. I assume it's due to them being a better grasp of the human experience, despite being gene-forged killing machines inducted as teens. The Primarchs were literal magic babies from day zero (perhaps Angron not so much, but eh), and that bemds their curve in a different direction.

Almost like you need a human soul to embody the potential of that aspect of chaos instead of whatever trapped chaos juice the primarchs are.

I think it's more that the primarchs are really weird souls first and foremost and their bodies are the less important component of their existence. That's why Fabius Bile doesn't really accomplish anything with attempting to clone the primarchs - he can make a replica of their body, but not of their soul.

They're some kind of combination of Emps' genetic knowledge and the sorcery he got from the chaos gods. He knew enough to make the Custodes, but the Primarchs would be impossible to make without that extra push. They couldn't be created anywhere but the Warp. At some level, he wished for them.

Custodes came with their own souls. They are born on earth like normal people. Well some of them are I guess

I would guess that's one of the things that will always be left vague, it works just fine to say that maybe the Emperor stole knowledge/power from the Chaos gods, or maybe made a bargain and then cheated them, but only he and they know exactly what was done.

In the sense that they are all archetypal figures and the Warp is a domain literally formed in part from the archetypal and symbolic, it's possible that in fact they *are* the archetypes they embody.
