The primarch of the world eaters, the angriest chaos space Marines, is named Angron because the bouncer at a pub the founders went to was called Angry Ron

The primarch of the Iron Hands is named Ferrus Manus

The primarch of the Raven Guard is named Corvus Corax

10/10 names in 40k overall.

Chaos owns actually and its not that fascism is necessary because of chaos it’s that literal skull collecting blood berserkers and guys made mainly out of tentacles are somehow less horrifying than the fascist dystopia that is the imperium. It’s also explicitly clear in the setting that the imperium is its own worst enemy and how poo poo it is drives people towards chaos.

Space fascism is worse than chaos and that’s the joke.

Being corrupted by Nurgle might turn you into a tentacle monster but it also stops you from feeling any pain so it's actually a pretty sweet deal.

Also, can orkz replenish themselves faster than tyranids can eat them?

An inquisitor put this to the test once and it didn't go well

I always thought that the Salamanders were black, but less regular human dark skin and more onyx-like black.

That, and they all have glowing red eyes because of an inherited condition caused by weird radiation on their Primarch's home planet. As far as Space Marine chapters go they're about the closest thing 40k has to "good guys" and they're the only ones who value ordinary human life over their own.

You may not like it, but this is what peak intergalactic civilization looks like.

quote:

The Orks are the pinnacle of creation. For them, the great struggle is won. They have evolved a society which knows no stress or angst. Who are we to judge them? We Eldar who have failed, or the Humans, on the road to ruin in their turn? And why? Because we sought answers to questions that an Ork wouldn't even bother to ask! We see a culture that is strong and despise it as crude.

Anyone thinking of checking out Infinite and Divine should get the audiobook version so they can listen to the narrator doing old man voices for the whole thing.

Necrons sound really funny

I think it was The Infinite and The Divine where a Necron judge got tired of Trazyn and Orikan squabbling with each other and imposed a 10,000 year long restraining order on both of them as a cooling off period. Same court trial that ran into problems because Orikan is a chronomancer and kept going back in time to change things and give himself a more favorable outcome.

"almost" is always the word with primarchs. the sheer narrative-bending causality of a $60 - $150 figurine thats gotta be sold



There are a still a handful of primarchs unaccounted for after Lion returning from his weird mirror dimension. He got one of the better miniatures, maybe if Demon Lorgar or whoever shows up they'll get something of a similar quality.

I used to read White Dwarf religiously and they did a series about the different Primarchs and their lives growing up and Ferrus Manus was always my favorite.

Killing a Necron construct by dunking it in lava and having the necrodermis melt all over his arms is one of the better origin stories.

Too bad about the whole beheading thing
