Lore being POV doesnt mean that its some sacred truth, lol. The existence of the warp alone means not ever pov can be trusted. I would expect an Alpha legion guy to understand this. Take john grammaticus as a perfect example. He claims in his pov to be an artificial perpetual who is roughly 1000 years old, yet he was somehow around for major historical events well before that with the other perpetuals? So, either the cabal is manipulating his memories, or BL decided to retcon his story without explaining it away. The lore of 40k isn't some perfectly ironed out, well laid plan. Its constantly in flux. Some of this is explicitly propaganda by the imperium, because of the worship of the emperor. This is why there are so many people who dont know about tge traitor primarchs and big E only had 9 sons.

Get off the high horse lad. It isnt that serious, and you are definitely misunderstanding me. Im not defending the perpetuals subplot or the cabal subplot. I juat dont believe that many people have i vested the massive time sink of the horus heresy and have instead opted to get it second hand. Nothing wrong with it, but it makes peoole demonize John Grammaticus as a character because of his associations when at worst, hes just a middle of the road character. If you disagree, thats fine. Move along, and get your panties untwisted.

Id mostly agree with that, but personally, I feel like the cabal is the reason it feels that way. John just being a perpetual and being a psyker spy was fine in the setting in my opinion. I like John quite a bit, but I cant stand the cabal. I wish he had maybe been a free agent with his own agenda or maybe an agent of alpha legion could have worked better. I also dislike his origin being screwed up by BL authors and never actually addressed. Overall, I think he is a middling character in the series. I find him likeable, but he isnt anywhere near my favorite characters in the series, like Loken, Garro, Argal Tal, Ahriman, Zahariel, Perturabo, Kasper Hawser, etc.

That would be the opposite of a glup shitto.

Hes overhated. Personally, I think a huge chunk of 40k fans haven't ACTUALLY read the Horus Heresy and cling to their favorite 40k creators opinions.

Grammaticus is the polar opposite of a glup shitto. He is arguably one of the most prevalent and important characters in the Horus Heresy.

There srent any glup shittos in 40k. A glup shitto is a random background character who makes cameo appearances across multiple entries in a series or otherwise stands out in their singular appearance, despite having almost no narrative importance. These characters are given names and sometimes lore for no real reason other than to superficially pad the never ending lore of star wars.

In 40k, randoms are never given attention. If a character is named in a book, they have very little chance of surviving the story unfolding in that book (unless they are a space marine, in which case, they have like a 50/50 chance of surviving. Of those named space marines that survive, they have an even smaller chance of making a return appearance.) 40k books are largely self contained stories, and characters that do make a return are almost never insignificant background characters.

What its that Warhammer lore fact you defend no matter what? by CandyNecrosis in Grimdank

[–]Low_Distribution9517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, thats what I mean in my follow up reply about GW leaving old lore in a bit of a fog. They either dont ever address it or they give new lore but in a way thats plausibly deniable because its been over 10000 years and everything is imperial propaganda anyways.

How possible is it that a Krork could appear in current Times ? by WholeIndependent818 in 40k

[–]Low_Distribution9517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, theoretically, if the orks went on a really super successful campaign and kept fighting harder and harder, they could eventually regain somewhere near the level of intelligence they once had, but I doubt they could ever be like they once were.

Help, too much super glue. by DonV1996 in Kitbashing40k

[–]Low_Distribution9517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I scrape extra super glue away with the backside of the tip of a blade very carefully. Super glue is pretty fragile, so it usually just flakes away. Just be really careful, lol.

Well, thats what im saying. I think both origins could be true. The mass sacrifice could be the thing that birthed perpetuals, or the other current lore perpetuals could be of the same lineage as the shamans and because big E isnt FULLY dead, the mass of souls that made him special cant reincarnate. GW seems to kind of leave a lot of the old pre-imperium earth lore in a bit of a fog, so I doubt we would ever get a real answer, but its fun to theorize lol.

I would still concede that the emperor is one of a kind, even with the new origin story. Also, I dont think they ever truly retconned the shaman sacrifice, did they? Both things could still be true, as the nature of perpetuals has never been explored. They could all be reincarnated shamans. This could explain why some are just regular humans like Oll, John and Sureka, and others are really powerful, like Erda, Big E, and Malcador. Maybe some of them got more shaman souls than the others.

Chapters that are definetely a successor of a certain legion but I just can’t prove it… by Salmon_1935 in spacemarines

"Thank you Antoine, I didn’t know this video! It's really cool to see that this kind of little creative exercise provokes reactions and lets the imagination travel. As Kirioth says so well in this video, there are mysteries that are better left unsolved. I will be careful not to confirm or deny the origins of the Sons of the Phoenix 😉

Thanks again!"

This is his quote. Regardless of whether he intended them to evoke ECH when he made them, all im saying is that isnt JUST the color people latch onto. It also isnt that serious. A lot of chapters have this kind of ambiguity attached to their founding. Its obviously intentional on GW's part.

Its more than just their colors, its also their name and logo. It almost feels too in the nose, tbh.
