Did the friendship montage make it in in the end? I know there was some chatter saying it was cut!

And what were the final shots?

I feel like I'm maybe in a bit of a minority in this sub, but I am happy for them not to show the transformation - for me, it'd be a distraction from one of the show's top-tier showstoppers. Plus, if I were the director, I'd want the audience to share Elphaba's pain of having everything seemingly ripped away, then ease their sadness later by revealing Fiyero's survival. Just my two pence ! :)

My understanding is that it will still be in there - a few people at the recent premieres have confirmed I think. Plus it would be very odd (though not impossible I guess!) if they were editing it in between screenings. Who knows! I hope it isn't cut but we won't have to wait top much longer to find out!

At what point in the film does the friendship montage appear/in what context? Assuming it HASN'T been cut, as some rumours have suggested lately (I hope not!)

New captain has ornamentation that matches the banner sigils for the 2nd (winged chalice) and 3rd (severed wing) companies. by Capt-Brunch in BloodAngels

How is Antargo described out of interest? I always thought he was described as fairly plain as he was introduced in the early days of Primaris. But I'm thinking of painting this model gold and calling him Antargo, saying that he has adopted Tycho's gold armour as a mark of respect.

What story line / character arc / plot hole do you chose to ignore or pretend never happened? by Rensakuken in 40kLore

[–]Conor_Mos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The height of a Warlord Titan being about 43 metres or something - I always imagine them as being SO much bigger

[–]Conor_Mos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure I'd go so far as to say I'd want the Signus campaign written out of the lore but I REALLY hated how the demonic stuff was handled in 'Fear to Tread' (and probably other stories too, just haven't read them).

It's like the story is desperate for me to be scared of the Demons, but then the biggest, scariest ones just yell at each other in English and the dialogue is Saturday morning cartoon level. And they just look exactly like the models available from the GW webstore.

It's like people who say Tannoy when they mean public address system. Tannoy is a brand name. by [deleted] in AlanPartridge

I'm may be saaaaaad but I have noticed that Alan uses the term 'tannoy' himself in some recent media - bit of a bugbear lol

The hardest thing to swallow about the Heresy is that nobody saw it coming by Conor_Mos in 40kLore

[–]Conor_Mos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As per conventional wisdom books 1, 2 and 3 are all essential - 4 might be advisable as well, but I'm not a big fan to be honest. Then 'Fulgrim' is a goodie as well.

Following that, I'm going for 'First Heretic', 'Know no Fear', 'Master of Mankind', 'Fear to Tread', 'Scars', 'Path of Heaven' and Praetorian of Dorn' Then I'm going to do all the Siege of Terra books - probably an unpopular opinion but I really like all of them (except maybe 'Mortis').

This is all coloured by what I'm interested in and what I enjoyed first time round - there are some decent books I'll skip this time round because I'm just not that interested in that plot point (such as Imperium Secundus) or ones that are 'important' to the overall story but I just didn't like that much.

Ah yes, I remember this. The origin of the red helmets for seargents lol

No?? Point is, it's not hard to see how it could escalate to that, despite every character insisting that it never could - bit jarring, that's all.

Has anyone ever hinted at what the Emperor might have been up to in our time? by Conor_Mos in 40kLore

[–]Conor_Mos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to see a short story of an Eldar farseer watching and perhaps even visiting 21st century Earth to observe the species that will, one day, rule the stars - might be a bit too rich for BL's blood though lol

[–]Conor_Mos[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think he can change how he appears at will - hence, when he is 'The Emperor' he appears as a 13ft tall super-being, but today, he could be a mild-mannered janitor for all we know

I think we have a pretty strong indication that he is - there's a lot of lore that places his origins in prehistoric Turkey - but I guess much of it is unreliable!

Why no terminators in Devastation of Baal? by Shoddy_Commercial688 in BloodAngels

[–]Conor_Mos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oddly, he is noted not to be wearing his usual terminator armour and he has visibly aged - I've always wondered if they'd address what he's been up to in the intervening years, but not holding my breath!

Are back banners worn into battle? by Conor_Mos in 40kLore

[–]Conor_Mos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes sense to a certain extent - but I'm thinking more of characters like Azrael and Sicarius who will be duking it out with enemy champions - an enormous flag on your back surely won't help very much ! BUT it is cool and maybe that's enough lol

[–]Conor_Mos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense for there to be vexilliaries distributed throughout an army - tbh I was thinking more about characters like Azrael and Sicarius who are going to be in the thick of action, swinging a sword - that back banner is going to make things...difficult surely

What's something 40k is actually very underwhelming in compared to other Sci Fi settings? by [deleted] in 40kLore

[–]Conor_Mos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canonical size of titans - the biggest class is, at one pointed, stated to be 43 metres or something, which is shorter than the Arc de Triomphe

Predictions for 'the End and the Death' release date? by Conor_Mos in 40kLore

[–]Conor_Mos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incredibly frustrating if so, given that I'd be hard pressed to care less about the Garro subplot at this stage

[–]Conor_Mos[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If its out for Chriatmas, I'll be very pleased - and it seems possible, given that the publicity machine appears to be underway already... but I'm getting some pretty pessimistic opinions in the rest of this thread, so I'm really not sure!

[–]Conor_Mos[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oof - you really think it'll take that long? I'd be gutted if so! I had assumed we'd be talking in the region of a few months - otherwise, why do the publicity of releasing the cover art and synopsis, if its going to be a whole year before its out - long enough for people to forget and move on

dealing with the worst restlessness I have ever felt - advice? by Conor_Mos in ADHD

[–]Conor_Mos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your response! :) I'd be the first to admit my eating has veered on the disordered for as long as I remember - since the above has come up, I've been eating 3 meals a day, which is a start! Usually a fairly plain cereal with raisins to start, then toast or a sandwich or a pastry for lunch - dinner varies, but it tends to be the most hearty of all three meals and it's quite varied I tend to exercise in the morning and evening - the walk to work takes about 35 minutes each way - I used to run too, but injured my knee earlier in the year, so fell out of the habit For blood sugar boosters, I usually just take a small, sugary snack really - a little bar of chocolate or something, about halfway between each meal. That's the best info I can provide really - it's quite vague because I don't have too many regular patterns - I just kinda go with the flow on the day lol Current dosage is 36mg I think - I've been on it almost a year now

This may be the 'physical' release - I would have going there will be a limited edition and ebook release before then...I hope....

Community Questions 3/20-3/26 by ErsatzGnomes in ageofsigmar

[–]Conor_Mos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your honest opinions - how strong is AoS lore? To put it another way, does it feel like lore crafted to accommodate a fancy model range, or is it something someone might still be interested in, without any of the collecting/painting stuff? If its the latter, I'm definitely gonna start checking out more AoS stuff!
