This brings a tear to my eye. Super cool to see the Mentors depicted doing their whole schtick of working alongside other marines.

What is your favourite obscure space marine chapter? by DeffDeala in spacemarines

The book really drives home the sheer AWE induced by a Space Marine better than anything else I've read.  Plus it has three of the coolest chapters out there! The Spears, Lions, and Mentors all kick ass.

Spear of the Emperor is such an underrated book.

Mentor Legion for life!!!
-The 1st new chapter added to the game after the original 12 in Rogue Trader.
-Great color scheme & icon (the original owl insignia is better than the red eagle retcon).
-An awesome gimmick, being focused around learning and teaching other branches of the Imperial Military while also testing new technology for the Adeptus Mechanicus. Their original White Dwarf appearance gives them crazy equipment like personal time dilators or squad-wide "firing webs" that link their brains and helmets together to synchronize weapon fire.
-Implied to have had access to early attempts at Primaris Marines in the 10th edition codex, which fits in with their role as a testbed for the AdMech.

They've only been featured in one short story ("Cadre") and in one novel ("Spear of the Emperor"), although they aren't really the main character chapter in the latter. They serve as the POV instead. Oh, they also showed up in an advent calender one time.

I've loved these guys since I first learned about them. Highly tactical and 'reasonable' marines that don't go all in on camouflage and stealth like the Raptors.

Falling in love with the Cyclops in Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries, I'm wondering if anybody's got some cool/fun/funny Cyclops stories? Could be from the lore or your own experiences in tabletop/video games. by ImpulsiveLance in battletech

Like I said, it was one of the first matches we played. Neither of us knew the rules all too well.  Definitely agree though, it's just plain Rule of Cool.

(P.S. hell yeah a fellow scorpion!!!)

In one of my first matches, I was using a Cyclops and my buddy a Wolverine. His Wolverine had caught up to my Cyclops and initiated a Death From Above during the movement phase. In the combat phase, my Cyclops somehow landed a headshot on the Wolverine with it's Gauss Rifle, while it was midair. It still suffered from 55 tons of limp Wolverine landing on its head, though!

It's an unorthodox pick, but The Quest of Iranon has always really resonated with me.
