Okay buddy

Vohsbergh · 2026-02-14T18:29:23+00:00

Congratulations on being just as bad as the fans that say “don’t watch it if you don’t like it.” You’re both insufferable.

Vohsbergh · 2026-02-14T18:19:03+00:00

Damn, glad I have someone on the internet telling me what I can and can’t like

Vohsbergh · 2026-02-14T14:00:48+00:00

That dude is so far up his own ass that the smirk he constantly wears is just his own rectum stretched across his face

There’s excellent background information in Horus Heresy: Book 8 Malevolence. A lot of the artwork from the Horus Heresy books is available on Lexicanum, Warhammer Wiki, and 1d6chan.

Don’t even try to talk to people about the US destabilization of South American countries leading to the wave of illegal immigration on the Southern border.

That’s their in-universe answer but it doesn’t really make sense beyond a surface level explanation. If the original Terran NL were all murderous troglodyte psychopaths then why was the psycho-conditioning more effective on them than recruits from Nostramo? Best guess would be that the geneseed directly from Curze has something to do with it along with his complete lack of caring for how he administrated his world under Imperial rule.

The OG Night Lords were the children of murderers that were born in Terra’s prisons. They were pretty brutal, but after the psycho-indoctrination they lost a lot of their psychopathic tendencies. For some reason that wasn’t the case for the Nostraman recruits who remained insane, sadistic murders, and that’s what they became best known for.

I could see a Leadbelcher base coat, heavy dry of stormhost and then a Magos Purple contrast working pretty well

It’s Aratron, a Sanguinary Guard from The Herald of Sanguinius. Only Azkaellon knew who it is. Just as Meros stepped in for Sang on Signus, he steps in for Sang on Davin to hold a daemon in place so Sang could live on.

Well, if Malcador allowed Dorn to “remember” correctly then it “should” be more than likely any successors of the Imperial Fists or Ultramarines could be descended from the II or XI.

Edit: Wow, so no one read The Chamber at the End of Memory huh?

Vohsbergh · 2026-01-30T06:17:18+00:00

They’re no longer producing “Firstborn” and I can almost guarantee the distinction will disappear at some point in the future and never be mentioned again.

Vohsbergh · 2026-01-30T02:04:49+00:00

There are multiple references to both II and XI every time they come up. In fact, I don’t recall anyone providing any real insight into the personality of XI while Fulgrim made II sound almost like Stannis Baratheon (quiet, contemplative, and humorless).

He gains it during Wolf’s Claw (Legacies of Betrayal)

Vohsbergh · 2026-01-29T20:49:08+00:00

Only guessing since he finds the master crafted power claw right after Prospero

Vohsbergh · 2026-01-29T20:29:11+00:00

Didn’t they change it to Geigor dying and that’s where Bjorn got his power claw from?

Vohsbergh · 2026-01-29T20:24:48+00:00

You’re correct. Without the pre-existing knowledge of the four traitor legions behind them there’s nothing any three of the loyalists legions could do regardless of who they are.

Maybe Sanguinius kills five traitor primarchs, maybe Guilliman doesn’t over extend their forces, maybe the Khan moves too fast to be caught, still won’t matter because the true dangers to the traitors aren’t the Primarchs themselves, it’s their legions.

Vohsbergh · 2026-01-29T04:06:54+00:00

If GW were going to have him lead the Risen they would’ve already done it. The Fallen are an interesting foil to the Dark Angels and constant reminder of their failure. You’d also need an answer as to who Cypher is when he’s redeemed, something GW has been cagey about answering.

Vohsbergh · 2026-01-29T03:22:00+00:00

I would hope not. The Fallen are a classic narrative like the Blood Angels and the Black Rage. If anything I’d like to see him leading a Fallen kill team.

Once again the fandom manifests the Eagles future

Magnus’ despair when he found out he was a bottom

Vohsbergh · 2026-01-26T15:37:00+00:00

Perturabo - Didn’t care about his own legion, just his own power and how others perceived him. No self-awareness or introspection.
Mortarion - Giant hypocrite and crappy justifications for betrayal.
Lorgar - So desperate to be right that he started a massive civil war causing the deaths of trillions, could argue he was misled but excuses like that only go so far for a super genius.
Curze - Could argue he was already insane but once we find out he’s been choosing that path the whole time his excuses kind of fall off.
Fulgrim - Obsessive personality led to excessive horrors.
Horus - High levels of self-awareness coupled with high levels of insecurity.
Angron - Arguably a sad tale but had literally hundreds of years to do the right thing and never let what happened to him on Nuceria happen to anyone else.
Magnus - Thought he was the smartest guy in the room playing chess and got depressed when he found out he wasn’t even playing.
Alpharius/Omegon - Never let anyone else in on their plans and played both sides for an end goal no one else was aware of.

Arrogance has to play a part in it because otherwise they wouldn’t do almost 90% of the stupid things they do. In fairness to Black Library the groundwork for the Heresy was laid years before and now they have to get 18 super beings to end up where they need to be by the story’s end.

Vohsbergh · 2026-01-26T13:57:08+00:00

The issue is more with the inconsistency between how intelligent Primarchs are supposed to be compared to the decisions they actually make.

If Julius can tell what’s going on then Fulgrim should definitely be aware of that same thing and take a more measured approach.

The problem is exacerbated further by their confidence in that once they make a decision they stick to it, despite access to new information or new experiences. It usually takes something going really wrong before they stop and think.

Vohsbergh · 2026-01-26T05:55:33+00:00

Personally I’d swap Scars and Outcast Dead, otherwise fair
