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.

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.

Kopijeger posted: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.

Arcsquad12 posted: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. 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.

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?
