The most interesting idea imo was the concept that the Emperor was nothing more than an Age of Strife weapon that got out of control.

Who forged such a weapon?

I believe Cadia was swallowed by the eye of terror finally.

End times was the fantasy war hammer story arc where the brittonians were wiped out by a product of skaven machinations. I think.

Geez how would the modern imperium react to a 30k primarch returning? Abject reverence or some hostile, cautious optimism.

Hasn't the most updated Necron codex made them a race that can be negotiated with? They're no longer the mindless space zombies they used to be.

I thought this article about bejeweled skeletons smacked of 40K. Kinda neat that churches have kept bones and relics. http://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/the-most-beautiful-dead-photographs-of-jeweled-skeletons

The nails should have killed Angron by all accounts, right? It was only thanks to his primarch physiology that he survived them, owing to his body's regenerative healing power? Every moment spent not engaged in physical combat was agony if I recall.

Angron is a Meeseeks; existence is pain.

You know the way 40K is basically totally up its own rear end now (No sense of humour/Matt Ward) and over the last few years its all just space marines all the time, is this why I don't have any new Eisenhorn/GG novels? Abnetts health issues notwithstanding.

Matt Ward hasn't worked at GW for a few years now.

Iron Warriors are my personal favorite traitor legion, but there aren't really many stories that do them justice.

Best marines of all are the Red corsairs though. gently caress the gods, steal the ships, bang the bitches, and get paid while doing it.

What is it about the IW that you like? Perturabo seemed like a whiny angsty baby and I couldn't ever figure out why he traded teams.

Didn't Pert believe that unless you fought by swinging a crane arm over your head you were a slippery slimy sorcerer to be hated? I read that in the description of one of the newer books where Magnus and Pert are fighting together, and Magnus is torn between maintaining the brotherhood of arms, or pursuing ancient magicks on some worlds.

Yeah what the hell, it's like she's wearing actual space marine armor instead of human scale power armor.


I mean it looks cool but it also looks incredibly stupid.

e: The only difference between the SoB's power armor and Astartes armor is that humans don't get the black carapace, or so I think. Is that right?

Yep. Black carapace is a subdermal implant that astartes use to interface with their suit sensors.

And a video showing a Grey Knight donning his armour, to give some idea of what the Black Carapace looks like:

That's one interpretation. I didn't think it was so... obtrusive. It's like they have these big open ports in their bodies, and cannon plugs screw into them. Pretty weird.

That suit probably just acts as a sort of wetsuit for power armor. Non-astartes powerarmor is more like a powered exoskeleton, or power loader a la Alien. Non-astartes have no black carapace and thus no way to interface with suit sensors.

I guess Iron Man comes to mind. Astartes can feel water and temperature while in their armor thanks to the neural interface from the carapace, humans don't have that degree of integration. That's my understanding of it anyway.

Their resentment of their role as the workhorse legion is what I like. For decades they were the backbone of the crusades, going in to secure and mop up resistance and then fortify positions. But as time progresses their inability and inflexibility with their combat doctrine earns them scorn from other legions. They never achieved recognition for their victories, always overshadowed by the dynamic actions of the more daring legions. Resentment builds up.

Fast forward ten thousand years and their resentment and anger extends to everything and everyone. Their method of warfare is the worst nightmare version of world War 1 attrition, a slow grinder ending in a flash of horrific violence once the siege breaks through.

I don't cared too much for perturabo because ad you say, he's written as a petulant child. But that goes back to my initial point that iron warriors are rarely written well

I'd like to see some more traitor legion summaries like this.

Night Lords probably grew to resent the double standard held against Conrad, who used fear and intimidation just like the Imperium. "Join our imperium *cocks bolter* for it is your destiny."

It is really frustrating trying to figure out which order to read the Caiaphas books in. 20 years worth of short stories and proper novels and no real way to figure out which order to read any of them in.

Any ideas?
