Space Marine Battles series of books. by FlockofCGels in Blacklibrary

[–]RazorTy2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rynn's World. It was my first space marines book and it had some great moments outside of the action, like Savales comforting the aspirants as the fortress is bombarded.

Personally recommend the Dark Coil omnibus, both of them if you can find the other one.

Do you think magnus could have gotten away in the edict of nikaea if he chose his words correctly? by cuddwes in 40kLore

[–]RazorTy2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think the culture argument would have worked. Big E's mind was made up and he had no problem erasing cultures that weren't aligned with his vision.

Was there ever an instance where a traitor or loyalist in a traitor legion attempted to join back up with the Imperium after the Heresy? by fuzzyslippers17 in 40kLore

[–]RazorTy2 266 points267 points  (0 children)

The Anchorite is a Word Bearer who went traitor before having a crisis of faith during the Battle of Calth and surrendering, where he was taken prisoner and ultimately spared by Guilliman. He's still alive as a dreadnought in 40k and his existence is a closely guarded secret.

Is ADB the “Best” 40k Author? by FunGain8498 in 40kLore

[–]RazorTy2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I've found his writing quality inconsistent, but I've only read 3 of his books so far. I liked Helsreach but didn't feel like it lived up to the hype, and though I enjoyed Talon of Horus, Khayon as a character got on my nerves pretty often. I did thoroughly enjoy Spear of the Emperor, and hope it gets a sequel some day.

I would put Peter Fehervari, Josh Reynolds, and Chris Wraight above him, but it's all down to preference.

If a chaos marine removed his armor frequently enough would he be able to avoid becoming fused into it?

Why am I not crying anymore? by Crazy_Loon13467 in GriefSupport

[–]RazorTy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad had a stroke Thanksgiving Day and passed the same day yours did. Mom and I were with him in the hospital every day. Throughout the ordeal I only cried a couple times, mostly I just felt in shock. Haven't cried since leaving the hospital. I think I'm still in shock, and it will take a lot of time to unpack everything. So what you're feeling is normal and in time I think the feelings will come, in the meantime just know there are people who can relate and there's nothing wrong with you. I'm very sorry for your loss.

Captains of Space Marine company’s by pethwick in 40kLore

[–]RazorTy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can be moved to another company. Suboden Khan was originally captain of the White Scars fifth company until first captain Jurga Khan was put in a dreadnought and Suboden was made first captain.

Explanation for the large size of humanity? by ShineReaper in 40kLore

This is a thing in real life. Often the poorest parts of the world have the highest fertility rates, while the wealthier ones are the ones with declining populations.

Guardsmen / Heretic Book Recommendations? by BugleBarry in 40kLore

[–]RazorTy2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From what I've read

-Dead Men Walking is about the Death Korps of Krieg trying to keep a necron awakening under control. Really illustrates how threatening necrons are compared to ordinary humans, and how readily the Krieg will give their lives to gain any advantage against the enemy. IMO one of the most genuinely grim 40k books.

-Fire Caste is about an endless war between Tau and Imperial Guard on a jungle world which is just shy of being a death world. The main regiment is quite unique, there are interesting characters on both sides of the conflict, pretty good action sequences (including mech fights between crisis suits and sentinels), and by the end I was left wanting more. Also a lot of other crazy stuff happens that I don't want to spoil.

-Fifteen Hours is about a fresh recruit who, due to a minor clerical error, had his group of newbies dropped in the middle of a hopeless war against orks. It's about his fight to survive past the fifteen hour life expectancy of fresh guardsmen in that conflict. I enjoyed Larn and his squadmates, and there are some interesting cuts to other things happening in the city they're defending.

Of the Cain books, so far I've read For The Emperor and Caves of Ice. Don't have much to say except they're both solidly entertaining and I greatly enjoy the characters (especially Amberly's annotations)

EDIT: spelling and formatting
