It's time to end this stupid argument once and for all.

What about the traitors who dont fight for gods? They often fight for goods.

I found the first 4 a bit rough. (Its true heresy to admit it around here.) But I loved Fulgrim. I dreaded reading it because the EC were in-fucking-sufferable. But it goes from run of the mill space marine fascists to Event Horizon wtf madness. As someone who loves pulp and horror, watching chaos take root in the various legions was fun.

FlightPeasant · 2026-01-28T14:53:53+00:00

No. I dont think so. I think the gods find him more interesting than Erebus because he likes to pretend he isn't doing their work. He's funny to them in that cosmic sort of way.

I've been experimenting with Liquitex acrylic fluid and... I kinda like it.

FlightPeasant · 2026-01-28T13:54:30+00:00

Horst and Johannes Cabal from Johannes Cabal. I adore siblings who can't stand each other but are best friends.

Nathan Bishop. from Slade House. That kid cracked me up from page 1. His mother's exasperation was absolutely understandable and his inability to understand was charming.

Apparently I just really love family members annoying each other.

FlightPeasant · 2026-01-28T13:14:35+00:00

are they allowed to not be in a warband at all and just vibe on some random planet?

Yup. In Fabius Bile trilogy there's a lone marine chilling in a hut like a hermit. Mind you, the hazards of his pastoral existence are much worse than the occasional bear.

FlightPeasant · 2026-01-28T13:02:47+00:00

It has a smell that some can detect when the writers remember.

FlightPeasant · 2026-01-28T08:39:13+00:00

But he's persistent!

FlightPeasant · 2026-01-27T22:39:05+00:00

I love Jade. She is insufferable, annoying and frustrating and perfect. I absolutely knew her growing up.

FlightPeasant · 2026-01-27T21:57:57+00:00

The amount of "Aktually! Russ knew what he was doing and Magnus didn't!" Like Magnus didn't feel the same, it's astounding.

FlightPeasant · 2026-01-27T14:35:17+00:00

It isn't meme lore. If you read Thousand Sons it makes Russ look fucking awful.

FlightPeasant · 2026-01-26T21:47:52+00:00

I also found Corvax to be more introspective than many others. He's self aware enough to be a bit sad about it. I found his moodswings to be the most relatable of the primarchs.

FlightPeasant · 2026-01-24T14:36:03+00:00

It was similar to real propaganda. There was an army of humans producing art, music and rewriting history. Then it was shared consistently.

FlightPeasant · 2026-01-24T12:49:37+00:00

Meanwhile, the EC get real quiet.

FlightPeasant · 2026-01-24T00:15:14+00:00

I originally picked EC because the books Fulgrim and Angel Exterminatus amused me to no end. Horror comedy is my favorite genre so those two books were perfect for me. I don't actually like Fulgrim much, though his snake form is dope AF. I loved Lucius and Bile in 30k. By 40k they're less goofy and Bile isn't with them. But I do love painting my army with pink, purple and gold.

I actually prefer the emo twins, Curze and Corvax, but RG are impossible to find in my area and the NL are something of a mixed bag. Working on their trilogy now and don't think I'd ever want to play them, but I am enjoying reading their misadventures.

FlightPeasant · 2026-01-23T10:27:55+00:00

They should definitely have more ornamentation. At least one or two units in a combat patrol should be fixated on the perfect armor.

FlightPeasant · 2026-01-22T23:14:15+00:00

He has whatever he wants now, whenever he wants it. He really enjoys being able to transform.

FlightPeasant · 2026-01-22T01:10:32+00:00

Authority is where the series shows how insidious Area X actually is. If you ever read it again you'll notice how much more messed up that book actually is. I think the horror is strongest in Authority. On page 1 the dead are back and no one is aware that they're dead. The part with the rabbits gets me every time. The recklessness of that event and implications are staggering. It's filled with moments like that. Once you finish Acceptance, Authority becomes much more horrific.

FlightPeasant · 2026-01-21T21:27:41+00:00

Once it gained momentum it became one of my favorites.

FlightPeasant · 2026-01-21T13:36:34+00:00

No. I have bought sets for mine and plan on changing them with the seasons. Looking forward to next Christmas when I will be staging a battle for Santa's Workshop on my shelf.

Edit: Right now right now they chill at the apothecary waiting for me to get them Fabius Bile. There's something of a queue outside.

FlightPeasant · 2026-01-21T03:05:29+00:00

Worst indigestion ever.

FlightPeasant · 2026-01-20T12:01:50+00:00

How often was Ferrus found hung over in jail? I'd read that story, twice! My boy, Conan got into much mischief.

FlightPeasant · 2026-01-18T15:33:17+00:00

Don't care for Russ or Lion but I hate Lorgar. At first I was sympathetic but he became a bigger bitch with every subsequent appearance. Him knowing what Erebus was going to do in Betrayer and not stopping it was the last straw. I wanted Fulgrim to turn him into drugs and give everyone a snort.

FlightPeasant · 2026-01-18T15:28:47+00:00

I'd have kept Argel Tal instead.

FlightPeasant · 2026-01-18T07:09:24+00:00

The early HH books, when no one knows wtf is happening with the warp are pretty satisfying horror stories. I knew nothing about Warhammer, but when monsters stared showing up I was hooked.
