I didn't like the new Cain novel and I'm finding it hard to put my finger on why. Felt a little phoned in, and just failed to grip me.

Definitely not the usual standard Telsa Cola posted:A better comparsion would be that RBs armor is basically a primarch sized terminator armor that functions as a dreadnaught. Wouldn't the indoctrinated zealot 40k era marines see internment in a dreadnaught as an honour? Obviously once the reality of being an entombed kill-bot sets in they may get a little cranky, but I would have thought being a venerated chapter icon would be something they would embrace rather than beg to avoid?

The zealousness of the Space marines is more of a spectrum then anything. Keep in mind that a bunch of the chapters dont see the emperor as a god and find it a human failing that baseline humans do. And nah, some of them expect to go down fighting and giving their life while still being flesh and blood so when they allllmooost die and tech priest says that they are going to put them in a big metal box they freak out. This is chapter dependent though since Im sure Ironhands love that poo poo. Being a dreadnaught also sucks in general and im fairly sure thats why most go into stasis/sleep mode when they are not needed. Apparently they start going insane and start disassociating. Bjorn is notable in that he is still fairly sane but has his moments. Edit: Its why a few of the books have waking up dreadnaughts be a kinda dangerous thing.

I can see space wolves being firmly split on it. Half go "Yeah but think about the poo poo you can gently caress up" and the other half go "You cant go drinking or eating"

Honour and Iron establishes two really interesting things about the Primaris Marines- 1. They're dumb as hell, maybe just naive, but the grizzled small Ultramarine chaplain seems to have to smack some common sense into them. 2. EVERYONE in the setting with passing knowledge of Thunderwarriors is freaking the gently caress out about an upcoming cull, so... cool? 3. Iron Warriors seem to be one of the new legions of focus, there's been a ton of novels with a focus on them coming out recently, so maybe they're up for a refresh next.

Best dread is Nume or whatever from Lords of Silence just a hugely hosed up monster of a dreadnought running around eating whatever and whoever it gets its hands on

In Space Marine, the chaplain drinks some blood from each dead marine, then poops it out into perfect marbles that are stored in a remembrance shrine. Ian Watson is gonzo awesome.

Kind of surprised ash diamonds aren't a thing in the setting, because it's perfectly grimdark to be bedazzled in diamonds made of your fallen servants or something.

I'm making a decision that in my head-canon the revolt of the Men of Iron began when a dissatisfied JOAI (or "Joy Bot" as they were referred to) seized the means of production and started the revolution.
