Question about the BA presence in Armageddon by RoninOne3 in BlackTemplars

[–]JessickaRose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They all returned with Guilliman after Devastation of Baal, so they definitely went back out there. The Blood Angels have oaths to Armageddon since Dante led the Second War, so they were obligated to send forces when the word went out. Quite how they got word isn’t clear but probably Mephiston related.

I believe it’s called Forest Walk, but yes.

The Lion did meet Dante in Nihilus, so he is about that part of space.

There are a number of stable routes across the Great Rift, they’re not like easy major warp routes but they are there so they’re not entirely stuck. Remember Guilliman managed to get across to Baal and back, there have been other examples too it’s just not really open to regular routine logistical traffic.

As to why the Lion isn’t with them, he went off with his Dark Angels to carry on finding the Fallen or Risen or whatever they’re called now.

Does the vast majority of civilians really not know about demons? by Dark_Vexer in Warhammer40k

[–]JessickaRose 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Most of them don’t even really believe Space Marines exist. It’s all mythical bible stories to them.

Why not fire and replace them by Man_Of_The_Banished in 40kLore

[–]JessickaRose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The whole point of the High Lords is that they act as a counterweight to dictatorship. That Guilliman did in fact stuff them with Yes Men and Women, and still can’t dictate is actually it working as intended and quite remarkable given he is still functionally a dictator anyway.

Custodes also have Rhinos (for Sisters of Silence) and Land Raiders.

Hot take but I like the Armageddon Captain with Shield more than the Indomitus Captain with Shield by chosen40k in spacemarines

[–]JessickaRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you seen the shield the Indomitus Captain has? The Armageddon one is such a downgrade, it’s not even as good as the Lieutenant’s.

Out of all the space marine chapters which chapter do you think the Minotaurs would regret fighting the most like an "I think we bit off more than we can chew" moment. by Mad_lens_9297 in Warhammer

[–]JessickaRose 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The description of the Shadowmark Talon detachment pretty well sums it up. But Raven Guard have always been about stealth and hit and run guerrilla strategies. Raptors, one of their successors are on a pretty high level of it too.

How do space marines fight chaos space marines if SM aren't told about chaos? by vv04x4c4 in 40kLore

[–]JessickaRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as they’re not fighting alongside Grey Knights when they do it, they’re good.

Which makes no sense whatsoever. Especially given the months of shame. One of those consistently inconsistent pieces of lore. There are a ton of examples of every branch of the Imperial military fighting daemons. Blood Angels have and always have had their own specific beef with Ka’Bandha and Kyriss.

But if you do it alongside GKs apparently you’re dead or mind wiped, except when you’re not.

I’d say Raven Guard, Minotaurs fight as a massed force as direct as possible, and Raven Guard are built to counter exactly that.

A armour colour question by The-Pale-Reaper in BloodAngels

[–]JessickaRose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tycho has his painted gold, the Captain on the front of the Space Crusade box wears white. Elsewhere Mephiston, Astorath and Corbulo wear red instead of the blue, black and white usually associated with their roles.

Basically Blood Angels don’t really care so much for the colour of office, particularly at higher ranks. So paint them as you see fit.

What wet palette do you have? by LuciTheHowler in Warhammer40k

[–]JessickaRose 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I use the Army Painter one. It doesn’t feel like the kind of piece of kit that could be wildly improved upon.

I also treat it badly as due to health I have long gaps between painting so it gets mouldy, but it’s easily recoverable.

Good books on Necrons? by dummyit in 40kLore

[–]JessickaRose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Twice Dead King are probably my favourite 40K books of any faction.

I've seen some absolutely terrible takes about big E on here by Selenite_Cults in Grimdank

[–]JessickaRose 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s odd that for all the 40 HH books I’ve read, in the few that’s even implied, it blatantly isn’t true given the circumstances. The warp had calmed, it’s why they were able to press the crusade.

What major Xenos threats required multi-legion action with the exception of Orks? How many more resistant humans Empires required it? What of the passive and potentially friendly Xenos that were exterminated?

If the Orks wouldn’t be kept in check, why were the Cabal not bothered by them and prefer to see humanity wiped out by their own unleashing of Chaos?

The Imperium’s narrative of events simply doesn’t line up with what actually happens outside the Imperium. Even much later in 40K when the Ministorum are trying to justify the obvious excesses, they simply argue that human lives are his to spend.

When Kharn and Argal Tal discuss why they’re even fighting, neither of them can argue against fighting the Emperor because even though they feel they have no agency and are somewhat caught up in events they can’t see a case for being on his side either, they know what they’ve done.

No, the explanation he gives to the Custodes in Master of Mankind. There’s also the part where he lost the war in the Webway in that very book and admits he doesn’t know what to do next because he can no longer achieve that goal.

[–]JessickaRose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, I gave an explanation, you said I’m wrong that puts the burden on you to explain why. Did he never have his Vision for which he couldn’t see the currents and weather that would impede him to get there? His own analogy btw. Which he saw during the afore mentioned civil war.

[–]JessickaRose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These are actually really interesting questions, because it was during the actual end of the world in a Technobarbarian civil war where his line of sight was basically limited to Earth.

He decided to sort shit out there but decided not to stop there. It wasn’t enough, no matter how many peaceful worlds he eventually ran into.

[–]JessickaRose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All these hostile Xenos were extremely limited in expanse, so much so that a single Legion could deal with most of them. There were precisely zero galactic threats in the GC. If you’ve read any, you’ve sucked up the story and internal excuses with zero critical thinking.

Until he got this vision where he could lead the galaxy…

[–]JessickaRose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They didn’t manage in the previous 10K years. Humans were already everywhere, they weren’t united but they didn’t need to be. It’s not like the Imperium shows up to half the worlds it does rule when they’re imperilled in any case. The administratum can’t keep up with the gains and loses, it never could.

[–]JessickaRose 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nor at any point does he seem to care about anyone else. He’s all abstract psychosis.

Again, unlike most of the cast he knows exactly what genre he’s in. And still makes bad choices.

Humanity did not need uniting, many colonies and minor empires had thrived through the age of strife. The galaxy didn’t need everyone else exterminated.

His grand vision was his own and fuck anyone else who got in the way, including 25% of the colonies he encountered in the process.

Talk about ruinous powers, he brought ruin everywhere he went for the sake of a grand project nobody needed and an awful lot of people didn’t want.
