sharknado slashfic posted:Ultras have like 8 billion successor chapters which they pretend are legally distinct. There’s a bit in the night lords trilogy where a character recalls the ultramarines legion storming their fortress world and delivering a savage rear end beating. He’s very clear that despite it really being a whole bunch of ultramarine successor chapters and the ultras themselves they all just neatly slot right back together into a cohesive legion sized force when they need to and the parent chapter calls. Also btw gws greatest lore retcon success is that abbaddon actually owns now, both in the literal triumph sense and as a good as hell character. His appearances in the latter Horus heresy novels turn him into a genuinely compelling character (see stuff like saturnine) and the black legion novels are fukn great. Also his mini slaps.

Kinda funny that it also makes sense give the Ultramarines' whole deal of logistics, tactics and doing things by the book, literally, it would also make sense that they'd be able to coordinate seamlessly with their successor chapters that follow the Codex, even if they've been legitimately acting independently for ages.

He’s very clear that despite it really being a whole bunch of ultramarine successor chapters and the ultras themselves they all just neatly slot right back together into a cohesive legion sized force when they need to and the parent chapter calls. Bear in mind that this occured pretty shortly after the heresy, so there had likely been a whole lot less drift in cohesion and tactics than we'd find in 40k- so getting the band back together was probably a return to form. There are some ultramarine successor chapters that are completely unrecognizable to their original legion now. Like the Mortificators, Libators and the Nemesis chapter, to name a few. I guess I'd throw the silver skulls in there too, but since they're probably at least partly loyalist Iron Warrior genestock, it's not strange that they'd deviate somewhat e: re the codex astartes capping chapters at 1000ish members, I would suspect that most chapters are struggling to reach 1000 active battle brothers rather than constantly butting up against the limit. Making new space marines is hard and has a long logistical tail Bohemian Nights fucked around with this message at 07:31 on May 1, 2024 |

I thought the Silver Skulls were Necrons fighting some Xeno's that the humans mistakenly took to be space marines helping them in a long telephone-game chain.

Killing a Necron construct by dunking it in lava and having the necrodermis melt all over his arms is one of the better origin stories. Too bad about the whole beheading thing

The Primarch backgrounds are fun since they're basically all mythic hero/superhero/supervillain origin stories from different genres, and then the Emperor comes along and usually fucks things up for no reason. Though he did join Leman Russ in a drinking contest.
