Telsa Cola posted:I'd disagree, pre-heresy there's very little to suggest that he's a God akin to the chaos gods. It's really only in 40k and particularly super recently where a bunch of poo poo is popping off wheres it's becoming more of a thing, which is where Gulliman awakes. Him being a god is really only a question of whether he has godlike power, and he definitely does. Even during the heresy he had the power to literally fight all four combined chaos gods in Horus' body at the same time - and win. Whether or not he uses his power in the same manner as the chaos gods, and whether he gets his power from the same kind of sources, seeing as he is a physical being and not purely a creature of the warp, is a another question. Lorgar being correct or not in what kind of naming convention is reasonable to apply to big E is kind of missing the forest for the trees. Emps didn't need or want people to worship him as far as we know, so the important part is that by continuing to worship anything at all he was actively subjugating himself and reaffirming his desire for mankind to be dominated instead of self determining. It literally doesn't matter if the Emperor refusing to categorize himself as a god was honest or not. S.J. fucked around with this message at 08:55 on Dec 9, 2022 |

Kvlt! posted:New to Warhammer 40k books (Ive read a few Dan ones and really enjoying them). I want to start the Horus Heresy, is there anything I need to read first or can I just start at #1 and go chronologically with no background knowledge? The best piece of advice I can give you is to skip descent of angels, and probably the other Dark Angels one, because it can really kill your desire to continue. Absolute garbage.

I think that's just a fan theory that's been going around that a bunch of people picked up on. I feel like that would be the lamest thing ever if they actually wrote that out.

Black Griffon posted:Gotta be honest, Cavill as Eisenhorn is so far from the Eisenhorn in my mind that it's hard to imagine it. He's supposed to be an ugly, scrunched up poo poo even before the unfortunate events in the mansion, and an even uglier poo poo after. My cast was Mel Gibson for a bit, then at some point I didn't want to think about Mel Gibson. Literally any role they give him outside of a Primarch is one where he'd have to get his face all hosed up regardless.

To clarify, I don't think Watson was a bad writer, just that the stories were dumb. But it's also been a long time since I've read anything he did! They're certainly no worse than the rest of what Black Library has put out.Black Griffon posted:Pray Him on Terra protect me. I am committed to completing the whole series and I have just hit play on Descent of Angels. Please just read a summary. Please. I read Descent of Angels and literally stopped re-reading the Horus Heresy afterwards and still haven't quite recovered.

IMO the Chaos ones are more interesting in large part because how they struggle with their own identities and responsibilities creates a false impression of who they are in their subordinates who often are the catalyst for the worst of the outcomes, and this is a mirror of the Primarchs relationship with the Emperor to begin with. Many Primarchs give E way too much credit

D-Pad posted:The first Arks of Omen book went on pre-order today and GW has been touting it as the biggest lore update since Gathering Storm. At least two more volumes will be released and it is entirely possible we get another primarch back from it. It's basically the same format as Gathering Storm trilogy was so whatever it is should be a fairly major shakeup to the current lore. We're getting introduced to a new chaos demi-god and it sounds awesome, plus it's centered around Space Hulks which is the most 40k poo poo ever

Technically we are getting a new primarch from it, Angron, he hasn't shown back up quite yet in the fluff but his model and rules have been revealed. One of the books has his name on it.

Whether or not you think something is bad (has qualities that you believe are bad) doesn't necessarily have any intrinsic relation to whether or not you enjoy it. Understanding that is actually a pretty big step towards understanding what you like and why.

I played a decent amount of 2nd edition, and while it certainly might not be difficult for any given character to die, if you actually built around heavy armor and parrying/blocking etc you could absolutely just shrug a lot of stuff off. I haven't played 4th though, I've heard it's a lot like 2e. Hell, even evasive characters could be genuinely hard to kill.

For Games Workshop stuff, unless otherwise stated, pre-orders go live on Saturdays and release the following Saturday. If it's something that's print on demand it can take a few weeks for shipments to start rolling out.
