Magnus, in the midst of his impassioned plea for understanding at the Council of Nikaea, fixes his sole eye on Erebus, sitting in the front row of the amphitheater. Erebus is chewing bubblegum, and as Magnus watches, he blows an enormous bubble that, in defiance of physics, forms an eight-pointed star before bursting loudly.

I think that there can be some overlap between enuncia and words of power in general if we allow ourselves to be a little less prescriptive about authoritarial intent. Reading everything through the lens of what GW would allow or what one author knows about the other can be a bit limiting, sometimes a thing is a thing because it would be neat.

It would be cool if her magic came through Terra like the wolves with Fenris and she showed up in 40k and her magic was all hosed up because as bad off as Terra was in 30k it's a million times worse in 40k.

I think Erda having interactions with the Primarchs would be an interesting angle. Roboute has huge hangups from his childhood and doesn't consider the Emperor his real father.

Kylaer posted:For all the things you can say about Erebus, you can't say he's not good at stabbing people. Yeah, he has an impressive track record at stabbing people in the back but not so much when the victim can defend himself. Let's all remember when he was thwarted by a servitor pounding him in the face. All jokes aside, GW/authors love this kind of ambiguous states for characters. It's basically their way of opening up the possibility to brin them back in the future with minimal retconning.

I am pretty sure the current intention at BL is to leave Erda dead. Not to say they won’t change their minds later, but Erebus’s internal monologue sure seems to think she’s dead (iow he’s not just lying about killing her to someone else). She’s too major and important a character to be alive. Then again, LE2 is alive, unambiguously, and that’s pretty weird. They might have plans for him. His death in TEATD was extremely predictable and so when it kept not happening I was pretty shocked.

I bet Leetu gets handed to Cawl for his early experiments that turn into primaris marines. Hell, he could be Alpha Primus for all we know.

Cawl cares about Alpha Primus too much for him to be LE2. He made AP from scratch and thinks of him as a son.

He’s also been memory wiped enough that he’s not entirely sure what he does know about himself let alone his projects.

Erebus is so obviously evil that it's almost beyond belief that anyone ever trusted him...they really should have put in some scenes of him being charismatic or useful or...anything, really. Even if the tentacles and flies and poo poo didn't put you off Chaos, the fact that Erebus was advocating it should have made the luna wolves go 'no thanks, I'm good.'

Erebus turns over a tarot card, revealing a beautifully drawn artwork of you being stabbed in the back by a delighted-looking Erebus. You: Is this bad? Erebus: It's allegorical, my friend. Kylaer fucked around with this message at 10:40 on Apr 23, 2024 |

von Metternich posted:Erebus is so obviously evil that it's almost beyond belief that anyone ever trusted him...they really should have put in some scenes of him being charismatic or useful or...anything, really. I mean, he almost casually brings back Cyrene/Acteae from being loving dead to try and get Argel Tal on board before Kansas City Shuffling him into being knifed on the back. Ideally the plot would always play on his viperous ability to read people and exploit their weak points, but most of the time he's just going "Mwahahaha, behold the Maaaster of Puppets!". Argel Tal had a very powerful vunerability in being a melancholy/wrathful personality obsessed with his own failures. Likewise, Horus' boundless confidence and genius had an undercurrent of intense doubts and insecurities for Erebus to work with. But it takes time and effort to set that up. It's the same reason comic book writers prefer to write Joker stories than Riddler stories. One requires you to think up interesting/smart puzzles and riddles and plots, the other can more easily be taken care of by spending an afternoon thinking of entertainingly hosed-up, random cruelty.

He was pretty much a bro in Horus Rising, but it's a very compressed book compared to the massive sprawl of the rest of the series, so there isn't much screen time for him

Right but the other characters didn't know that, I should have made that clear. To the Sons of Horus he was a good-natured dude who came closer than anyone else to defeating Lucius in a sword duel.
