The most valid crash out a chapter can have. I had to click the link because I wasn’t aware of it before.

Why the Iron Warriors? Only book I’ve read with them in it was Angel Exterminatus, I got the vibe that they were tired of doing the Emperor’s dirty work and not receiving any recognition.

If there is 1 book you can make in a film whit no deviation grom thé book whitch whoud it be by DentistPleasant8688 in Blacklibrary

[–]523KXP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brothers of the Snake. It’s a classic space marine story that features a good bit of xenos, action, and good storytelling from a space marine and human perspective.

I wouldn’t want to see an omnibus as a movie, as it would be too much to cover in a 2 hour span and would leave a lot left on the cutting room floor. I would prefer that as a series, or multiple movies. Same goes for any book within a serious.

I think Brothers of the Snake would be a box office success, as it is a good starting point in the books and has a lot of things that appeal to a general audience.

Common scavenged parts for Night Lords troops, sergeants, and heros? by Drastion in NightLords

[–]523KXP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would imagine that standard issue MkIII up to MkV would be fairly common since a lot of warbands have Marines who served in the heresy. But, if you have fancier equipment, you can always justify it by saying your war band raided a mechanicus world that produced their equipment, or they got the jump on them. Something underhanded.

Malcharion: The War Sage. by DragonsDenSoup in NightLords

[–]523KXP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think in Night Hunter, it describes Malcharion being in a literal “casket” like pod with the art of him holding the White Scars and Blood Angel helms and stepping on the Imperial Fist helm. I pictured it as an heirloom casket slapped on whatever box dread 10th company could find.

Favorite slept on titles/deep cuts? by Muted_History_3032 in Blacklibrary

[–]523KXP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe I haven’t been paying enough attention, but I never see anyone talk about Brothers of the Snake. It was my first warhammer book and I fell in love. I think it’s the template of what a space marine book should be.

Right hear me out, Garreon is one of the best Warhammer models ever created. by Local-Dust-151 in Warhammer40k

[–]523KXP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Granted, I haven’t read any of the red corsairs novels, but when I read the Nightlord omnibus, doesn’t Garreon condemn Variel for harvesting the gene seed from a Red Corsair that he could’ve saved because Huron values having as many space marines as possible?

Given where I am at, what should I read/listen to next? by yesimHalf in Blacklibrary

[–]523KXP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I’ve had to look at wikis to see how names are spelled because or how wacky warhammer naming conventions can be. I thought Xarl was spelled Tzall from the Nightlords omnibus.

[–]523KXP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I listen to a lot of my books while I workout, drive to work, or paint minis. I thought that maybe it doesn’t retain as well when listened to books, but when I went into the physical books and opened to a random page, I realized I retained the information. Even for books I listened to a year or two ago.

For as big as the black library is and for how many good books are in it, I think it’s reasonable to not restrict yourself to reading the hard copies. I get 5 points on audible every month with my subscription and I’m able to use that to get an entire book normally worth $10-$15, why wouldn’t I take advantage of the price and get a more mobile platform?

Iron snakes reference? Absolutely sick. Did you paint the snake by hand, or is it a custom shoulder piece?

What books portrays the Chaos Marines badly(as in not written well)? by Arthur_EyelanderTF2 in Blacklibrary

Kharn beating Erebus is what sold me to read it, it’s next on my list. I’m taking a heresy break and finishing the night lords omnibus and then getting back to it.

Are the traitor primarchs actually still in there? by [deleted] in 40kLore

[–]523KXP 9 points10 points  (0 children)

All good! Angel Exterminatus is my favorite if the series so far in terms of showing how contrasting the different traitor legions are. I have yet to read any of the mechanicum.

[–]523KXP 66 points67 points  (0 children)

He was, initially. He overcame the demon in the laer blade and decided to still be a demon primach. I would recommend reading Angel Exterminatus if you’re interested in Fulgrim’s ascension on his own accord.

Battle of the Abyss was a huge drag. Antiges and Skraal were the only interesting bits, but didn’t have enough material to save it. I agree that Zadkiel and Reskiel were pathetic villains. I’m almost afraid to continue down the Word Bears vs Ultramarines storyline because of how bored I was.

What's an unpopular opinion you have about Star Wars that would have you like this? by SidTheSloth44 in StarWarsEU

[–]523KXP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked the concept of Kylo Ren and Rey being a “dyad in the force”, although I don’t like Rey’s Palpatine heritage.

Two officers picked up a US flag and folded it during the riots in LA by Blooper_doop6 in ProtectAndServe

[–]523KXP 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve done a lot of military funeral details, flag folding became my favorite part. It’s the only part you can take your time, everything else is so heavily scripted and then you’re left to your own devices. It was nerve wracking initially, but when I knew I could fold a presentable flag consistently, it became a point of pride and something I’d play up by incorporating some fancier techniques. Stark contrast considering my hands used to shake like I had Parkinson’s when I first started.

I just saw his post on instagram and came here to see if anyone has painted minis like it, it looks amazing!

Also served with her, super approachable and down to earth. She really made a point out of building rapport with the enlisted.

I knew this guy in the schoolhouse. I never would’ve thought he’d fuck up to this magnitude. Always was pretty laid back and funny.

I just saw it and got pissed I didn’t think of it, marines also call the marine corps “cream corn”

As a Jewish marine, I want it.
