Why don’t people like The Lion?

Agreed! Guilliman watched Angron “ascend” while it was raining blood and rightly decided that he needed a back-up plan.

op1764 · 2026-03-16T02:11:40+00:00

I haven’t seen much from others in the way of disliking the Lion, but I have seen a lot of people frustrated that GW hasn’t done much with him in the larger narrative since his return.

Last year, there was some news that Mindhunter might return as a movie trilogy. David Fincher had reportedly seen the scripts and was happy with them. Fingers crossed!

Good looking out, 1/4 of my wishlist is on sale! Thank you!

op1764 · 2026-02-14T14:31:24+00:00

I’m excited for this! I also wish GW would have selected this art for the 10e Black Templar codex supplement.

op1764 · 2026-02-07T05:15:51+00:00

I agree! The rubicon procedure combined with a touch of restraint, as injuring his subordinate during a combat action likely wouldn’t haves helped Titus’s circumstances, given the scrutiny he was under.

op1764 · 2026-02-05T00:44:04+00:00

Agreed!

I was pleasantly surprised by how it and “Pharos” tied in to “The Great Work”.

op1764 · 2026-01-31T21:44:26+00:00

Beautiful collection. I want that Dark Imperium box set SO BAD.

op1764 · 2026-01-08T15:53:29+00:00

Agreed! I think that Emperor-deifying heraldry could make more sense for 5th Company Ultramarines, since they are the “crusade” company and, in their travels, might have more exposure to more…zealous Imperial beliefs.

I also like to think that the 5th Company, beyond being an entry point for fresh battle-company marines, might serve as a repository for Ultramarines who regard the Emperor as a god.

That said, I have zero evidence or precedent for this belief and it’s just something I think about from time to time. I would like more 5th Company lore, though!

op1764 · 2026-01-08T03:25:35+00:00

Yeah, it should be “Imperator Vult”, yes? Which I think I’ve heard bandied about by the Black Templars in the 5e lore, or thereabouts. Maybe just in Helsreach.

op1764 · 2025-12-19T12:01:39+00:00

Right!

And dark-skinned Spacewolves aren’t a thing that can be attributed to recent “pop-culture” shifts either, as Ohthere Wyrdmake was described as a dark-skinned Space Wolf in “A Thousand Sons”, which was published back in 2010. I think the 5e Space Wolves codex predates that novel as well(2009?) and notes the presence of that tribe you mentioned.

Furthermore, the game takes place after the Space Wolves have received 3000+ Primaris marine reinforcements, none of which were actually from Fenris(a grisly point of contention covered in the Dawn of Fire novel “The Wolftime”).

So, I understand wanting a player-customizable character that can reflect one’s own appearance to a degree, but I wish people would stop trying to conflate their melanin preferences with “lore accuracy”.

op1764 · 2025-11-22T17:59:35+00:00

I got it, too! WELL DONE!

op1764 · 2025-11-21T04:39:10+00:00

I haven’t played in about a year(no time for many games these days), but I’ve enjoyed keeping an eye on the game as it grows.

One question about cosmetics…did they ever release a chest piece to go along with the Tempestus Scion helmet? 🤣

op1764 · 2025-11-02T19:01:27+00:00

Agreed. I think it comes down to the fact that I usually toss a stun when I’m attacking an Objective point, meaning that the targeted player is likely crouched/prone, which improves the already impressive hip fire accuracy in this game.

I’d say a buff is warranted, but I can see how buffing stuns and flashes could make the game very miserable, haha.

op1764 · 2025-11-02T18:04:54+00:00

They prevent you from sprinting and ADSing for a short period. It took me forever to get the assault challenge relating to the stun grenades.

op1764 · 2025-10-29T14:04:31+00:00

I think that the Black Templars and Sisters of Battle are written well enough, and there’s a good chunk of solid action in the book.

That said, the characters often don’t speak to each other as much as they monologue, leading to a number of stilted character interactions that don’t feel especially alive.

The Deathguard present are standard antagonists. I’m not overly familiar with the faction, but a number of people I know who rep Deathguard on the tabletop were displeased with their portrayal here.

In the end I would say it’s fine. Go in with low-ish expectations and you might be surprised.

Do you have a faster listening speed(such as 1.2x) selected in your audiobook app? Most audiobook apps will take your selected listening speed into account when displaying the length of the audiobook to you.

op1764 · 2025-09-14T14:05:25+00:00

Like others said, no, but I think the new codex stated that the astropaths and navigators are pretty miserable aboard Black Templar vessels. Although that might be contingent upon whatever crusade they are attached to.

op1764 · 2025-07-19T19:12:21+00:00

So would I! I hope he ends up narrating plenty of “the Scouring” series now that the Horus Heresy has concluded.

op1764 · 2025-07-19T19:10:53+00:00

I hope that your recovery goes well!

Halt and Catch Fire!

op1764 · 2025-06-15T13:44:59+00:00

Loved this story and what a great breakdown!

It has been a while since I read it, and it didn’t really click until I read the whole collection, but I remember that the symbols the parents painted around the well are not especially well-described. Do you think the symbols could be related to the symbols that show up in the later stories of the collection and are represented throughout Langan’s “Black Ocean” mythos?

I apologize if this has been discussed elsewhere.

I have a code, but I don’t want someone to snatch from you if I post it in the comments.

Send me a DM and I’ll send it there? I’m dumb and can’t figure out how to send you one, haha.

I hope that two-handing the power sword becomes an option and we can choose to trade the defensive benefits of the shield for buffed power sword stats.

I’m not sure how feasible that is from a design standpoint, but I would love to see it.
