Telsa Cola posted:I think if people running other armies are going "Oh uh wow yikes", which sounds like the case, then it's a pretty bad nerf. Two of the best players in the world, who make a living playing and talking about this game, just said on camera "This is the worst codex we have seen in the last five years". They have been wrong in the past but I agree that it looks dreadful from a design point of view. As a custodes player, I'm glad I've got into Kill Team recently.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2024/04/17/court-lelith-hesperax-in-a-new-special-edition-novel-from-black-library/ This weeks Black Library news is definitely not something I would've expected to happen. Because it's Lelith Hesperax: Queen of Knives by Mike Brooks.   Guess Da Big Dakka gave him a taste for more.

I liked Brook's deldar in Da Big Dakka, I'll be curious to see how that style works when it's the primary viewpoint of a book.

Sephyr posted:'Betrayer' has the flag-captain of the World Eaters fleet as one of the POV characters, and shows two separate, massive voidfights in decent detail. Betrayer is also a good book in its own right, and the flag-captain is a recurring character.

Yes, this was very clever. The Emperor is masculine but the Emperor is just one of the many aspects that nameless entity has worn. The entity has been the entire tarot deck of identities and chose the Emperor in that time and place. No doubt didn't intend to get stuck in it, not to mention in hideous torment, for the next 10,000 years. Sephyr posted:Corax returns, gets the Emperor's Fedora. No that's clearly Perturabo's.

Speaking of Corax, are raven guard the chapter with the fewest books written about them? Aside from the heresy, I think they have like one short story collection set in 40k (sons of corax), that is mostly about another chapter anyway

The ejected traits are conventionally "feminine" so that's a pretty safe bet. It's going to be amazing.
