Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
Dorn retaliating by just listing every single time in human history that ethics or law has been applied to warfare to cut Khorne off at the ankles by asserting, over and over, that yes it loving does matter whence the blood flows, owns very hard, yes.

I know it’s like 30 mins long and nobody has time for that, but I wasn’t aware this short story existed and it gives closure to one of the early heresy characters. Quite good readings of some other good lore bits from this guy too.

Khorne is one of those scifi/fantasy names that look cool written down, but say it out loud and it's just... corn.

They should do a retcon and say it's actually Kharne, it's always been Kharne. That sounds a little cooler. Blame it on warp fuckery or something.

Meanwhile, there's Kharn the Betrayer, but I don't know anything about him, so he can become, uh, Khurn, I guess.

Khorne is his translated name. His name in the "Dark Tongue" is Kharneth. All the other gods have alternate names like that which boil down to meaning "God of X". The alternate names for the others are all worse, but yeah they could just say he prefers the original name.

Oh yeah, they actually played down the sex stuff a bit to play up more the decadence, indulgence and thrill seeking, and it actually worked. And ego, most Slaaneshi champions are higher than anything on their own ego, it's canon.

Yeah, it's something that the AoS team really nailed about Slaanesh. The model range really cover the range of the 6 deadly sins Slaanesh is in charge of.

Really just used the Persian court in 300 as a jumping off point.

After playing and enjoying the Rogue Trader game I started reading this thread which inspired me to try the books. Started with the Eisenhorn omnibus and not quite half-way through. It seems pretty alright though a lot of it also kinda just feels like nothing of much import happened. The saruthi world bits were p neat though. Also been finding a lot of weird typos/errors but that just might be the amazon ebook version.

Got some of those ork books that were mentioned and the two elderly necrons bickering on the list for the next ones to check out. Just wish the ebooks didn't cost more than the paperbacks.

Its the opposite for the Caiphas Cain books. The first omnibus is easy enough to find, but the second was a struggle to find it under $200, and the 3rd omnibus doesn't exist as a non-ebook.

I strongly recommend the audiobooks, the performances are great, to the point where my least favourite part of the books (Sulla's excepts) became a highlight.

I would ask when you bought it because it's been out of print long enough that there were not that many copies for sale as of a year or two ago. At least it was for sale, even EBay didn't have a copy of the 3rd omnibus for sale. The only copy I could find was an ebook and I stare at a screen enough that when I read I like having a physical book.

Plus, having a physical book makes a good icebreaker for people to ask me what I'm reading when I go out to eat at places.

I think probably around when it came out or just a few years after lol, it doesn't look like I took it with me when I moved for college but it'd still be at my mom's house. I definitely remember the cover and the contents. I'll have to dig it up next time I visit

I should mention I do have a physical copy of the 2nd omnibus and I did really enjoy it. I just looked up how much it cost me and it was $70 off Amazon, and Amazon only has 1 copy for sale for $100 for a used paperback right now. It does make sense its a rare book since it hasn't been printed in like a decade, and I'm sure they didn't make a poo poo ton during the initial runs. I liked it so much I would say it was worth the price.

Meanwhile you can get the 1st omnibus for $15 and there are a bunch of them for sale.

Do khorne demons ever need to just stop and take a poo poo

quote:

Each onboard dawn, I trained with Lheor in the sparring cages, axe against axe. Sometimes Ashur-Kai would watch with emotionless regard, or sometimes Lheor’s surviving brothers would watch and cheer when one of us landed a particularly elegant or vicious blow. They were indiscriminate in their praise, lauding any decent strike rather than solely encouraging their commander. I admired that.

The pain they suffered in their skulls often manifested around them. When their cerebral implants truly bit deep, little sliver-spirits of agony would flicker into being, crawling across the World Eaters armour plating. These mindless pulses of incarnated sensation would skitter over the red ceramite like lizards, before dissolving back into the warp-charged air. Mostly, the legionaries paid these insignificant manifestations no heed at all – the appearance of minor emotion-daemons was hardly rare in the Eye – but Lheor’s lieutenant, the warrior Ugrivian, was often crawling with them. I saw him eat one of them once, the tiny snake-thing thrashing in his fist, before he bit its snapping head off and swallowed the morsel with a low chuckle.

‘You are aware the Neverborn offer no sustenance to us,’ I pointed out to him. He swallowed the rest of the squirming, white corpse. I watched it wriggling down the muscles of his neck, before it fell into his guts.

‘You’re good with an axe, Khayon. I respect that. But you’re too high and mighty to admit there’s no better way to insult an enemy than to poo poo him out once you’re done with him.’

To my shame, I laughed. ‘You are vile, Ugrivian.’
