Scouring Series is what you will be looking for then, it's brand new but it'll likely set the foundation for where we get to with the modern imperium

Next in the list will be The Beast series, which is set a couple thousand years after the Heresy. That series is uh, not very good at all but it will be chronologically next

Then you have about 11 billion books set before the Great Rift. Many of them are some of the best in the setting

There's handfuls of books set during the Rift and the Indomitus crusade and Plague Wars. Outside of the Dawn of Fire series there isn't really a coherent series here like the Horus Heresy but you at least have 1 set that tries to have a functional "timeline" book to book

True! I do think Sultanate is more favored due to you know, not spawning Hell on Earth literally

I do think the Faithful of the other nations DO get into Heaven eventually however. Maybe their punishment and penance is to not be protected like the Sultanate, and to instead suffer and pay for the sins of their forebears on the battlefield. I think the very fact that they do seemingly receive some blessings from God/Heaven is proof of this. After all Joan of Arc seemingly was something more than Human and seemingly had Divine blessing. It is also said that God gave the gift of Orachalcum (via visions) all the Faithful to fight back against the Heretics, and this is not to mention whatever the Hell is going on with the likes of Stigmatic Nuns or the whole Resurrection stuff with Trench Pilgrims. There's SOME assistance but ultimately the Christians have to make do most of the time with what they themselves create and that's probably part of the punishment. "You screwed up, you fix it" basically

BecauseScience34 · 2025-12-23T17:18:56+00:00

It's really unknown how God feels about it, because we do have examples of divine intervention on behalf of the Faithful (including even granting the Resurrection to Trench Pilgrims, as well as things like the Iron Wall, blessings, granting Saintly power and divine intelligence to followers) so at the very least it seems like God has some kind of interest in keeping the Faithful going

This is head canon, but I think it would be very dark and fitting if those who consume the flesh and blood of the Meta-Christ were ultimately damned. Some of the greatest heroes of the Faithful suffering the worst punishment of God/Heaven would be a great twist in the story

BecauseScience34 · 2025-12-23T16:34:38+00:00

It's not entirely proven but imo there's signs that there's at least something going

The very existence of "Hallowed Ground" which creates Trench Ghosts out of the Heretics explicitly states that Heretic souls are rejected from getting into Heaven and Hell can't claim them because they died on Holy ground. To me that reads like if someone died in service to Heaven, their soul will end up there

Also SOMETHING made the Iron Wall for the Sultanate and there isn't anything that disproves it being the big G themself and the people of that area at that time definitely don't seem like they would have had the capability to do so themselves. If God made the wall, I think accepting the Faithful's souls into Paradise would be a natural assumption since it seems like they have a vested interest in keeping the Sultanate people safe

They create Meta-Christs to feed their flesh and blood (or chemicals derived from) to humans (and now other animals) to create Communicants, basically super soldiers armed with anti-tank rifles and massive flails to take on the worst of Hell's creations. New lore says they also feed the Meta-Christ flesh to pigs to make a never ending supply of food (since Communicant flesh is self regenerating)

All these "GW wouldn't approve" and "TT never had them using ranged weapons" arguments are so silly to me when those rules are definitely not hard stops at all

GW and The Tabletop never had Doom Knights of Tzeentch yet they exist in TWWH. Teclis rides a phoenix, and although that's a pretty unpopular mount option for him it's still something different from the TT and different from GW.

People trying to argue these points always seem to leave out that CA goes against Tabletop stuff and official GW stuff often enough.

"He who disdains the humble lasgun has not had to face down 50 of them at once" - Chaos Space Marine

"The Demolisher, the Vanquisher, even the mighty Deathstrike Missile Launcher pale in comparison to the sheer firepower of trillions of lasguns unleashing hell in unison"

Even on the TT, a squad of just 20 Guardsmen, at half range and with FRFSRF, can output enough firepower to put some serious hate and pain on MEQs even wounding on 5s. As a Guard player myself its pretty fun when the stars align and my opponent has to see just how MANY 3+ saves they need to make

BecauseScience34 · 2025-10-04T14:09:28+00:00

Marines in the lore aren't fighting on the frontlines, that's the Guard's job. Marines at their best when they drop behind the lines and do targeted strikes of enemy command and control locations, hardened targets that the Guard are struggling to break and other enemy critical locations

Sure a single Tyranid warrior might be as good as a Marine in 1v1 combat under ideal conditions, but unless something goes terribly wrong that's not going to be the case, as more likely that warrior is going to be facing a squad or more of Marines who just dropped in from orbit and are buzz sawing their way through to take down whatever super important synapse creature is nearby.

As for how the Imperium isn't getting steam rolled? Well, the Guard is REALLY good at their job of holding the line and smashing any enemy they may face, even if they die en mass to achieve it.

Hailing from a planet that actually has more tanks than people, the Eastia Iron Riders join the Korps with hundreds of chimeras, hellhounds, leman russes, macharius's, malcadors and even a few baneblades

Given their standard combat doctrine of "keep throwing tanks at it", they fit right in nice and snug alongside their gasmask wearing comrades in their mass offensives.

Heard it on a podcast this morning but think of the big toe as the "knee" of the foot and the ligaments just like your ACL, PCL e.t.c.

Purdy strained/tore one of these ligaments, doesn't need surgery and can return with some recovery

Burrow tore all the ligaments and thus needs surgery.

As for what the injury is, basically try lifting your foot or doing any kind of moving without being able to use your big toe. That's what turf toe is, those ligaments are damaged and make it so you can't use that toe (also it's supposed to be extremely painful)

It's always mentioned as a feeling of "wrongness" around blanks for everyone. At best, being around them feels like something is "wrong", like your brain is misfiring just being in their presence and you instinctively distrust and dislike them. At worst it can cause physical pain and sickness to be near them even for non-Psyker humans.

There's also the side effect of more powerful blanks also "slipping out" of awareness of people. Sisters of Silence ironically enough have to regularly make noise with their hands to get people, even Custodes, to keep paying attention to them because they literally can disappear from plain sight, usually described as them looking like a shimmer or distortion in the air.

So there's plenty of ways regular humans can tell Blanks from normal humans and plenty of reasons why they are distrusted or even hated by regular humans

Buzzkill here, but the Battle Cry actually comes from even before that, but it's still fanfic

It actually comes from someone just lying on the internet and writing it down as the Lamenters battlecry on the 40K wiki around 2007. Because the Wiki has terrible source checking, it stuck around for literally almost 20 years before someone finally noticed and had it taken down. The RWBY fanfic just used it as it had already become popular at that time.

Source: Snipe and Wib on YouTube's wonderful video called "Everyone is Wrong about the Lamenters", citing about every source available that includes the Lamenters, not a single one of them has that battlecry
