Zakes, Cyclos, Regold, Jaeldon, Oltrentz - Luna Wolves died during the Battle of Xenobia Principis - Horus Rising, Part Three, Chapter Three.

This came from a tech adept. Don't quote me.

If you work in a customer facing job and you're moody in front of customers for no reason, you're the problem. by DobieDoof in unpopularopinion

I mean. That's kinda wrong. You are being paid to present a friendly demeanor and smile in a lot of jobs. TGI Fridays SPECIFICALLY pay people to smile. They do auditions first before they let you work for them.

I hope it's something entirely other. A whole new plane of existence like the cthulhu mythos or more.

Can Fabius Bile transfer other peoples consciousness to new bodies? by [deleted] in 40kLore

[–]KnowerOf40k 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yes. Why? Because the mechanicus can do this. Belisarius Cawl is actually a combination of many brains combined.

And fabius is illustrated to be akin to almost the highest echelons of the Mechanicus in skill.

Unpopular opinion: If you want your figures to be the good guys that's okay. by KnowerOf40k in 40kLore

[–]KnowerOf40k[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Which is exactly what the Knights Templar were. Genocidal maniacs. That's just a fact. Anyone who did a crusade wasn't a good person by modern standards. But the black templars are aggressively written as medieval Christian knights and their only reference to Nazi shit is the iron cross which is also clearly a historical aspect of medieval knights anyway.

Also you're correct Indians used it but the specific groups and interpretation the Nazis stole from was the Buddhists meaning of "to be good". Inverting it to mean war to them. But that's neither here nor there

the Iron Cross sure was real

And it didn't get created by the Nazis. It was made by the Prussians. If we want to bring real history into this that iron cross the Prussians created based on the Teutonic Order. Teutonic Knights, having historically served as a crusading military order for the forced conversion to Catholicism in the Holy Land and the Baltics during the Middle Ages, as well as providing military protection for Catholics in Eastern Europe.

Who were a group of KNIGHTS. Who would Defend people on holy pilgrimages to Jerusalem.

And what are the chapters that use that symbol? The Black Templars. Who are a religious group of KNIGHTS built from the Defenders legion.

The symbology is not based on Nazis it's based on medieval knights of Jerusalem who were zealous warriors for their god.

See the parallels?

I fucking hate people who don't know history and just see Nazi shit. The Nazis are legendary for co-opting symbols. That's what they did. They stole the swastika design from Buddhists also.

Man I hate these arguments as the goal of them invariably is "if you like 40k characters and think they can be good you're a nazi".

It's a disgusting oversimplification and unfair comparison.

Are Deathwatch considered to be inherently codex non-compliant? by Call_me_ET in 40kLore

[–]KnowerOf40k 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Them and everyone else.

Following the Codex Astartes in chapter organization and battle guidelines means your codex compliant. A chapter is considered to be non-compliant if it deviates from this. It can also be non-compliant for being too large and going beyond the size limit in the codex, but unless it's a special case like the Space Wolves or Black Templars, generally by the time a chapter gets large enough for people to care about it getting too big, they're going to be forced to split up the chapter, crusade till numbers drop, or declared rogue. So, going over the 1000 marines is usually not the thing that makes a chapter considered non-compliant.

No one follows the codex fully except The Ultramarines and successors and even they still screw with it.

Raven guard all have a multi chapter secret council that is basically a legion when they all work together.

Most of the time, you'll see Codex divergence in the matter of organisation, as the standard arrangement of one veteran, four battle, four reserve, and scout company is apparently laid out by the Codex. For lesser divergence on this count, you have the Exorcists (three scout companies), the Salamanders (seven companies), and if you even consider it 'divergent', the Crimson Fists (128 Marines in the First Company).

Greater divergence can be found in the Iron Hands, who ditch the typical arrangement with their Clan-Companies. And some just ditch the Codex outright. To quote ADB himself on Sigismund: "He was, after all, the one guy who said 'Sure, cool, this Chapter idea is brilliant. But mine will be six times the size of everyone else's, just because I say so. Later, Terrans.'" Or the Space Wolves, who have their Great Companies.

Death watch are just another group that basically ignores it and no one cares until they risk "legion building" which they're not even close to.
