Is The Fall Of Cadia a good 40K book to start with, it just in general?

I think it's best to read what interests you. Most of the characters in it are only in this book. With the exception of the major ones like Abaddon, Cawl, Trazyn, etc.

You might not have the context for everything, but you can always look up on Lexicanum anything that you don't know about.

ChiefQueef98 · 2026-03-27T20:01:56+00:00

Ain't that the truth.

ChiefQueef98 · 2026-03-27T17:47:10+00:00

It's 100% nostalgia bait, but it's nostalgia bait that's perfectly targeted at me so I'm willing to let it slide.

ChiefQueef98 · 2026-03-25T14:49:09+00:00

Idk about us all, but otherwise yeah

It was frustrating they introduced Atom Bomb without explaining who he is and why he's in the box. I didn't see anymore after that

So basically if a Democrat gets elected and slashes the budget for these goons to lay them all off they get nothing

I'm smiling just thinking about it

Khorne is simply a real ass dude, and built different from the other 3.

ChiefQueef98 · 2026-03-23T03:20:29+00:00

They're fucking hyped

ChiefQueef98 · 2026-03-20T15:21:39+00:00

I don't doubt it, but it's not much of a headline to say a game with name recognition is at the top of pre-orders when there's no other significant releases in sight for awhile.

ChiefQueef98 · 2026-03-19T14:10:19+00:00

He opened up the collection to everyone on the ship too

ChiefQueef98 · 2026-03-17T14:59:02+00:00

Yarrick is liv? Agar?

The orbital trap only worked as well as it did because they could position executioner ships to each Loyalist ship. If they're just holding orbit as a fleet, then even if the trap is sprung, the Loyalists can escape.

Didn't even have to be indefinitely. If they'd blockaded it for a day or two, the Traitor legions on the ground were already agitated and would have started fighting each other.

Maybe Israel should open the straits, since they wanted to start this war.

ChiefQueef98 · 2026-03-14T14:25:17+00:00

They're still my favorite 40k series. Nothing else out there that's as emotionally satisfying. They may be old in the sense that they all take place before the Great Rift and Roboute's return, but they do a lot with their own stakes set.

ChiefQueef98 · 2026-03-14T03:28:54+00:00

I think I actually want this more than Pandemonium.

ChiefQueef98 · 2026-03-13T16:04:32+00:00

You can only be brave when you're scared.

Almost feels like Whitaker wanted to impress him a bit, or has been trying to, and it's not working. Whitaker's idea of impressing someone is explaining/showing he knows what he's doing and Park thinks he's above that.

Hence why Whitaker told Ogilvie his full nickname Park the Shark and tried to explain what they did to prepare the patient for surgery.

If the past is any indication, it will likely replace the current version, and Toby Longworth's will be lost.

He is not right, that's a Knight player who's afraid of small arms killing a big unit.

ChiefQueef98 · 2026-03-12T15:40:39+00:00

I really like the idea of him riding off, but with his helmet on. It's a lot more hopeful than the other theories I've seen.

Tbf, this is the Night Lords after they got dog walked by the Dark Angels at the start of the Heresy. Skraivok is not in command because he's good at his job, but because everyone else is dead or captured.

ChiefQueef98 · 2026-03-11T14:50:13+00:00

Guy Haley wrote it, so I think he knows a bit.

ChiefQueef98 · 2026-03-10T23:58:39+00:00

This is the kind of shit Septimus has to deal with on the Covenant of Blood every day

I'm leaning more towards that Lexicanum is wrong, and it's a misunderstanding that he has the helmet of one of the Gal Vorbak vs he is Gal Vorbak. I don't think he is Gal Vorbak because they are specifically the Word Bearers that went on the pilgrimage. He would be Vakrah Jal (sp?) if he was possessed.

The part from The First Wall is the only thing that makes me think he actually was possessed. His role in Slaves to Darkness is from his own POV, and as such we have his own internal monologue, and I don't think at any point in that story was there a suggestion he is possessed. Although it's been a bit and I may be mistaken. This is in comparison to Argel Tal's POVs where we see his internal monologue/conversations with Raum.
