The Purging of Kadillus by Gav Thorpe

I must have read that one, I read all the Space Marine Battles books, but I have not the faintest recollection of that one, even after reading the book blurb on Amazon to remind myself.

That's probably not a good sign.

the only one i read was the iron warrirors one where its mostly the Iron warriors and poo poo ton of Not-Helghast followers doing stupid hosed up poo poo to fight orks. also some dumb conspiracy about the obliterator virus. I do like the that one of the iron warriors gets brutaly murdered by slaves though.

I believe so. If I remember right, Pollux had to choose between destroying Perturabo's flagship (while Perturabo was in it), or following Dorn's orders and returning to the Terran muster.

It wasn't really that cut and dry, since they really just had an opportunity to counter attack after they got their poo poo pushed in, when the message to go to Terra came through

Is that the C.L. Werner one? That book is awful, one of the few books I've gotten a little way into and abandoned forever.

I actually had high hopes for it because Werner did a great job of writing Thanquol as a hilarious schizophrenic warp-cocaine addict, but his 40K attempt was :ohno:

Kind of funny to see the CoD character animations poorly fitted to an Ultramarine or a Blood Angel. The one smoking a cigar through the helmet, before the fingers clipped through the breastplate was probably the best one.

A legion so embarrassing that it was purged from all imperial records, never to be spoken of again. Another step closer to solving the mystery of the lost space marine legions.

Dropping the puns for a moment what's the status of Segmentum Ultima post Great Rift? It's attached to the Easterm Fringe where the Blood Ravens operate which would put it in Imperium Nihilus. Was the Segmentum itself cut in half with Ultramar on the western side and everything else lost to Nihilus?

Hueheheh-and you GOT one

quote:

HORUS: Sooo, what are you gonna do once we set foot on the throneworld?
ANGRON: Kill everyone!
PERTURABO: Perform a systematic dismantling of Dorn's defensive measures and bring the palace down brick by brick until he and Father are dead
HORUS: Pssh, what do you know about running a siege?
PERTURABO: What are you gonna do, Horus?

dream sequence

SANGUINIUS: Hey Horus, what did you do, get a haircut or something?
HORUS: LOOK CLOSER, GUIN-Y
SANGUINIUS: Oh I know what it is... you're the most powerful man in the galaxy, and you're entirely covered in blessings of chaos!
HORUS: ALL 4 CHAOS GODS UNDIVIDED!

HORUS: Take a seat at my side, Dad! I'm running things now!
EMPEROR: All hail king Horus!



Jokes aside, anyone else wonder what the implications of LE-2 Being in the direct presence/gaze of all 4 chaos gods and coming out still sane/alive will be? Seems like kind of a weird plot thread to drop.

Also I thought the (TEOTD 3 spoilers) The final fight with Horus was really well done. Considering what he said about homage to the old lore Abnett took all the various stories about the confrontation: someone stands between Horus and the Emperor, but the old lore can't decide on whom, a space marine? A lone guardsman? A Custode? No it was all three, actually. He adds some new stuff like the psychic battle and dimension/timeline hopping, but keeps to what was said before (the emperor loses an eye, gets his arm sheared completely down to the bone, almost completely dismantled.
And I'm impressed that the Emperor is indeed actually as large as the art depicts him. His psychically projected image can be much smaller, but his real physical form is gigantic. I'm assuming this implies he most definitely did some genetic tinkering on himself and used his findings to create Custodians and all his other super soldiers. That or he used the power he got from the warp to enhance himself
