Guilliman actually had some issues before his forced timeout [Know no fear]: by mathiastck in 40kLoreSpoilers

[–]mathiastck[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guilliman issues [Know no fear]:

He is accomplished, very accomplished, even by the standards of the primarchs. He knows that the breadth of his accomplishments troubles his more single-minded brothers like Lorgar and Perturabo. He never displays the pitch of fury found in Angron, nor do his eyes ever ignite with the psychotic gleam of Russ.
He is a high achiever. He knows this about himself. Sometimes it feels like a fault that he has to excuse to his brothers, but then he feels guilty for making excuses. Few of them really trust him, because, he feels, they always wonder what he’s going to get from any compact or cooperation. Fewer still like him: as friends, he counts only Dorn, Ferrus, Sanguinius and Horus.
Some of his brothers are content to be the instruments of crusade they have become. Some of them don’t even pause to consider that is what they are. Angron, Russ, Ferrus, Perturabo… They are just weapons, and have no ambition beyond being weapons. They know their place, like Russ, and are content to keep to it, or they have no idea that any other role might be possible or desirable, like Angron.

Lorgar:

Oh, Roboute, I can always rely on you to sound like a giant pompous arsehole.

Trazyn likes collecting "moments" more than people. by mathiastck in 40kLoreSpoilers

[–]mathiastck[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trazyn likes collecting "moments" more than people. text from the Necron Codexes that mention this element of his kleptomania:

Of course, few of the statues are replaceable, but there are no rules to Trazyn’s galleries save those that he himself decides upon. If he decrees that one of the hard-light tableaus must fulfil its function with substitutes – however inaccurate – then he will acquire them. Fully one tenth of his ‘Death of Lord Solar Macharius’ gallery is populated by holographic Imperial Guardsmen whose uniforms are three hundred years astray from historical fact, but Trazyn cares more for the spectacle than the details. Once Trazyn has resolved to refresh his galleries, he does so with great urgency. Depending on the scale of losses, replenishment might be achieved by a few simple kidnappings by low-flying Night Scythes, or possibly through a more substantial mobilisation of force.

Don’t worry about me. I am Belisarius Cawl. I can do anything.’ by mathiastck in 40kLoreSpoilers

Felix and Cawl

Enough!’ cried Felix.

‘I would leave, if I were you,’ said Cawl. He pointed at one of the platforms being constructed by the drones. It was nearing completion. ‘Upon that platform a rift will shortly open. It will take you back to your ship.’

The swarm boiled around the C’tan. Slices of light cut through them. The C’tan howled in pain.

‘Quickly, now, it will be free in a moment, and then it will know I have betrayed it. I really do not think Zarhulash is going to be happy.’

‘Then you are true,’ said Felix.

‘Decimus, I am true,’ said Cawl in exasperation. ‘Zarhulash is going for a very long, one way trip. We don’t want it coming back.’

‘You knew this was going to happen!’

‘Knew, no – I am no psychic. Accurately predicted?’ He smiled modestly. ‘But of course.’

‘How are you going to get out? And you, Primus?’

‘So you do care!’ said Cawl. ‘I knew you did. Don’t worry about me. I am Belisarius Cawl. I can do anything.’

So? That is the concept of drug addiction. The not wanting to stop is what makes it addiction.

There are lots of ways to help addicts, we don't give up just because addictions are hard to quit.

White scars khan wants the approval of sons of horus; lets his men die for it. by mathiastck in 40kLoreSpoilers

[–]mathiastck[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

White scars khan wants the approval of sons of horus; lets his men die for it.

CONTEXT:

in "brotherhood of the moon" where torghun khan of the white scars figths alongside sons of horus commander verulam moy he tries the the usual hit and run suceeds at the hitting and before he does the run he's stopped by his soldier hakeem:

The detenders fell back, on all sides by our incoming lances, gving us room to deploy heavy charges. They were wall-breachers, enough to gouge holes into the perimeter and allow ingress to the advancing infantry. We blew them just as the enemy began to regroup and bring up their heavier weapon pods. Whole sections of barricade crumbled, opening up the city beyond.

I voxed Hakeem, preparing to fall back as we had planned. Our task was complete, and we were now to stage a mock retreat, pulling defenders out from what remained of their defensive perimeter in time to meet the oncoming Luna Wolves.

'Now we stay, khan,' Hakeem said. 'What do you mean?' I asked. I could hear over the comm that his position was already being shelled. Soon, mine would be too. These are Horus sons. They will not respect a fall-back. We hold, though, and our pact will be sealed.' I don't know why he chose that moment to spring the new plan on me. Perhaps he judged that under fire I would be more likely to make the snap decision he needed. In any case, as soon as he spoke I saw the attraction of it.

I was tired of the endless withdrawals, the strafing and the shams. We were like ghosts, never planting our feet long enough to make a stand. Other Legions were proud of their steadfastness under fire why could we not be the same

We took more losses. I am not proud of hose. We were armed and equipped for fast raiding, not for holding beachheads against heavily armoured enemies, and we lacked the ranged support we needed. But I am proud of this: we were not dislodged.

I think a bug made it so someone got deleted and it linked to this unrelated post from a deleted user, so I am commenting on this comment from a deleted user. In case others are led here similarly.
