You ever see the Tropic Thunder bonus content where it’s a Werner Herzog parody of Kirk Lazarus getting in character and going nuts?
My counterpoint is Fulgrim’s six wives and the habit EC warlords have.
Brother if I could find a non-AI generated Salamander ballin', I would post it.
Some might be able to spit heat, but acid? That's the WNBA,
Considering most Salamanders are wearing "volcanic ash face," I'd argue that it was the Blood Ravens more than anyone. I mean, have you seen an actual Raven's feather color? They're blacker than the average Salamander.
Without spoilers, you'll get answers to some of your questions in the rest of the novel, others are in Astorath's story.
A lot of them yeah, because it gets itchy and can cause other problems like getting loose and into the armor's workings when you're stuck living in your suit for weeks if not months from being constantly on-call for whatever threats are lurking. The Iron Snakes don't get much downtime when they're on patrol to take their armor off and let their bodies chill out and recuperate, which is why the first thing Damocles did was hit the day spa to get their bodies scraped clean of god knows how much sweat and grime build up and all their interface plugs attended to, many of which were surrounded by sore and inflamed tissue from all the rough treatment. After they leave one of the younger replacements Damocles picked up has his hair in long ringlets that he needs to carefully pick up and tuck inside his helmet before he puts it on, so its clearly not mandatory.
I initially misread that as Lincoln Osis, but since the Smoke Jaguars are about as bad as any of the Traitor Legions when it comes to starting shit for no reason, especially among themselves, it still made perfect sense.
Thats good to know. I just wish that the introduction of primaris into the Blood Angel novels had some of this. I do plan to read Astorath and Mephiston at some point.
You do get a bit of it in Darkness in the Blood as follows the waterseller's kid from Devestation of Baal and then some other perspectives at the end of the novel. Astorath's novel has more about their introduction and integration to the bloodline traits, there's a Fleshtearer novel that is primaris focused as well but neither cover in the depth you're after. I understand you were wanting to see them in action in Devestation but at the time they arrive, it's mop up duty and within context of the novel would dilute the impact of the "sacrifice" by the remaining successors.
I can't be the only one who sees Joe Rogan in that third panel.
Speaking of archaeotech, will astropaths be rendered obsolete and fed to the Golden Throne once Gulliman and Mars discover Gmail?
Fulgrim is the Rudy Reyes of the primarchs. It doesn't make you gay if you think he's hot.
Reading The Reflection Crack'd kinda soured me on Fulgrim.
If I paint that big mfer magnus and his retard son Ahzek I'm MAKING it your problem too
Just gotta find yourself a navigator (they’re free for the taking) or be based enough to get the Assassinorum to send a complimentary state-provided GF.
At some point when does personal responsibility come in? Ive said this before, but this is a game meant to be fun. No one is FORCING you to play half your list as heros. You're choosing to do that. And if you're playing against someone that does that, and you dont like it, then you dont have to play with that person. If a game has an instant 'I win' button, thats not bad game design because you choose to press it, its your fucking fault for being a shitter. Jesus half the 'problems' with 10th can be solved with a conversation.
There is a difference someone picking between terminators over some sort of better elite because you think theyre more fluffy for your list. Then to lobotomizing themselves because they have a fundamental problem with list building. Its not really an "i win button" its the basic theory behind list building this edition. If youre going to make up arbitrary list building rules then youre probably just better off playing an older edition. The idea of having a standardized set of rules is so you can actually play the game without having to argue amongst each other which house rules are legitimate and which one are tripe garbage. Its not the same as seeing a Knight army and knowing your army has no AP. Ofc its a none issue playing with friends because we can make up whatever rules we want. "Just play with your friends" has always been a lame excuse and really doesnt suit a game thats supposed to be social. Its essentially the design philosophy of 2 different game clashing, and my assumption is that they dont want it to be AOS with guns. I know they dont want force org anymore, but the road to fixing this would be restricting HQs based on detachment in my mind.
This isn't a good example to give for a game that has "professional" and competitive play that is facilitated by the creators of the game. Between friends sure I can call you a dick for pressing the i win button and shame you but if money is on the line in a competitive setting it's going to come down to who presses the I win button first. Don't care about 10th problems because I only have 20 dusty suits of armor.
