I like in the Regents shadow when valerian meets a primaris For a split second we both thrust against one another, pouring on power, and I detected the morsel of greater strength there – an edge of resilience that his older counterparts did not quite possess. Then we split apart, hacking at one another, our blades clashing and ringing like hammers on an anvil. He punched out with his bolter-fist, ramming the weapon-butt into my throat. I fell back, hauling Gnosis’ heel into his knee-guard, making him stagger. He thrust forward with his snarling power sword, going for my chest. I clattered the edge away, adjusting for the feint, then swung my spear straight down at his helm. He was fast. He was powerful. On another day I might have savoured the contest a little more, aiming to discover more of this new breed of warrior, teasing out every scrap of knowledge in order to bring my own capability closer to perfection. But there was no time. My brothers were grappling with their own opponents, and we were still not where we needed to be. I shifted my centre of gravity, kicking his bolter aside and following through and down from the momentum. Before he could slice down at my shoulder I had swivelled Gnosis around and thrust it upwards, two-handed, into his oncoming stomach. I wrenched the blade clear, spraying flecks of bloody armour with it, then rammed the bolter-unit into his vox-grille. I depressed the trigger and watched his helm explode into a cloud of burning fragments. Not so very different, I concluded,

Some guy on a administrative world whose job's sole purpose is transcribing data which has been stripped of all meaning gets some numbers wrong and a bunch of green recruits set to go to a relatively easy planet gets dropped onto a planet where the war has devolved into a decades-long meat grinder with orcs doing the grinding. If I recall correctly alll the recruits die within minutes of dropping onto the planet.

She's a major character in parts 1 and 3 of the Gathering Storm series. Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BedBwhDfgU4 Part 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNLH54htSW0 Part 2 is a bunch of Eldar bullshit that's pretty boring and not important.

Every Eldar story reads like some loving boomers bildungsroman about how they were hippies in the 60s then got way too into coke in the 70s. It’s all so loving tedious. I’d literally rather hear someone describe their dreams than sit though 30 more seconds of Fall of the Eldar poo poo.

Hello friends, please click the link below and consider participating in my little charity event. We're all bored in lockdown right now so I thought we might be able to channel that into something a little more productive. I will be donating money to a food bank for every model completed in the next couple of months. All you have to do to participate is post pictures of your models though other options will be available for those who'd like to do more. It is somewhat focused on 28mm stuff, but there are other categories available and if your models aren't represented, just let me know and we can work something out. Full details in the thread, click the banner below to find out more:  I know there's quite a lot of overlap between this thread and the TG hams threads so I thought I'd post my little spiel. If you've never painted models before, but you're interested, now's a great time to start. This is not a contest and there won't be any judging so don't be afraid to join in.

There are entire wars fought by the traitor lexicographers and those still loyal to the Emperor's Word. The replacement of Eldar with Aeldari involved the Ordo Chronos briefly coming into existence for long enough to order the Officio Assassinarum into action against the heretical Websters.

Is this book called Road to Redemption, in a series called Necromunda? If so it looks like he wrote multiple other books in that setting. Is this a read in order situation? I don't even know what Necromunda is.

Necromunda is just a specific setting about street gangs in 40k. I haven't read the book in question but I'm sure it's fine to read by itself.
