The Ciaphas Cain books are really good. Dude's a legitimate hero of the Imperium and is a coward that constantly tries to stay out of combat. He does deserve most of the accolades he gets though because he is legit good at fighting. Would just rather be sitting in a nice room, far from battle, with whiskey, good food, and maybe a woman for company. He also constantly gets sent into the worst poo poo because of his reputation, and can't say no to suicide missions because it would destroy his reputation. Its a fun character in a series full of edgy grimdark. He'll even work with xenos if he has to without many qualms. His aide Jurgen is such a fun character. Every description of him talks about what a slovenly, smelly, dim witted, disgusting excuse for a man he is, but he has saved Cain's life countless times and is his closest friend. He smells worse than a demon of Nurgle and there is no one you would rather have by your side. Its too bad its drat near impossible to find physical copies of the 3rd omnibus. The 1st one is easy enough too find but the 2nd is quite expensive.

Ciaphas Cain is famously pretty much Flashman 40k, but hey, steal from the best. Speaking of, this is probably canon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfYx_013UuY

In the early 90s, Games Workshop had a record label. There was a band called D-Rok. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YH8jROzZQA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRtRkET9xMA Brian May played on some of these because he ran into them when he went to look at the spacemans with his son. Wikipedia posted:D-Rok owes some popularity to the fact that Brian May, guitarist of Queen played on two of the songs ("Get out of My Way" and "Red Planet Blues"). In an interview with Kerrang! magazine, lead singer Sigh explained that May had visited a Games Workshop store with his son, met the band, and offered his services. Sigh went on to say that May had not been offended when he was asked to tune up his guitar before recording his parts, and was the nicest rock star he had ever met.

My favourite warhammer character is Ferrus Manus, primarch of the Iron Hands legion. Ferrus Manus, of course, means Iron Hand and the space marines of the legion/chapter replace their hands with iron bionics and follow his teachings, the Iron Creed. They're lead by the Iron Council, which is made up of 40 Iron Fathers and follow the are currently waging the Iron Crusade to save the Iron Guard of Mordia from chaos.

Weirdly enough it's not the Iron Hands that the Iron Warriors have particular beef with, they have a particularly deep hatred for the Imperial Fists, even moreso than their deep hatred for literally everything else.

Pertie and his boys were not well treated. The Dorn/Iron Fists beef is one of those dark reflections type deals. They're so similar they must hate one another. An entire iron fists successor chapter was written out of history because the majority of them joined with the Iron warriors during the war of the beast.

Absolutely, although I would say Ciaphis is better than Flashman since it doesn't have all the problematic poo poo that's in Flashman. Plus Ciaphis is actually likable and easy to root for. He's not an irredeemable piece of human garbage like Flashman.

I love how insanely vicious and brutal the Heresy was, and I get the feeling it's if anything still not quite as bloody and messy as civil wars tend to be irl, with unpredictable betrayals, venting old grudges and sheer chaos (no pun intended) as allies become enemies and suddenly the battle lines are a total mess.

He had some fun moments where he smashs fulgrims face with model kit. Also he just up and leaves the heresy because he gets sick of it.

Russ? that would be sick as hell, flying out of the warp with some screeching guitars playing yeah Vulkan got the poo poo tortured out of him by Konrad Kurze, but he got out. As far as I know, he was last seen 2,000 years after the Heresy fighting a giant Ork called The Beast until the Imperial Navy dropped a torpedo on both of them from orbit, apparently vaporizing them both. Russ will return during the Wolftime, and the Space Wolves think they're in the Wolftime now. Jaghatai Khan rode off into the Webway and is possibly captured by Eldar of some variety Corvus Korax chased the Traitors into the Warp and may now be a giant crow Daemon Dorn was last seen leading a boarding action on a Traitor ship, and all that was recovered later was his hands The Blood Angels are occasionally visited by something called the Sanguinor, a being of great powers who appears in times of crisis, who is probably Sanguinius's soul or something along those line.

The Orks are the pinnacle of creation. For them, the great struggle is won. They have evolved a society which knows no stress or angst. Who are we to judge them? We Eldar who have failed, or the Humans, on the road to ruin in their turn? And why? Because we sought answers to questions that an Ork wouldn't even bother to ask! We see a culture that is strong and despise it as crude. From Culture vs. Kultur: Thoughts on Orkish Society by Uthan the Perverse, a controversial Eldar philosopher

Kinda funny that GW has had a massive upshot of sales but I'm not sure how much is actually credit to the fancy new deluxe model Space Marines vs just actually getting their poo poo together with everything else.Dapper_Swindler posted:Yeah.
