Not really meta but pretty good. They're flexible and very low model count, so not as much painting. Gorgeous minis. They do have some trouble holding multiple objectives because of that low model count, which is the name of the game right now, but you could do a lot worse.
Okay so maybe "moron" was too strong of a word lol I just couldn't find any other way to properly explain how I felt about him missing so much.
He's pretty profoundly unhappy about it.
Is there anything he can do about it? Or has the Imperium passed the point of no return when it comes to the Imperial Cult?
He actually spoke with the Emperor, but it didn't go well.
Ehhhhh.
I'm gonna have to read up on that. I'm trying not to skip around and go in order with this videos and entries. I'm afraid if I jump around I'll be even more confused lol
Not really. That's one of the big things about the post-Great Rift stories following Guilliman. He is viewed as a demigod by most people - those who either have faith in him on principle or meet him in person tend to outright worship him. But even that doesn't give him the power to fix all the problems in the Imperium, including the hold the Ecclesiarchy has over most citizens. He actually has a procession of Ecclesiarchal liaisons who keep going crazy. At this point, he's basically accepted that he can't force people to not believe he's a god.
Still a mass-murdering warlord, so no. Every Primarch had no choice but to, as part of the Great Crusade, roll over dozens if not hundreds of worlds that refused to join the fold. That requires a ton of killing.
Funny, Morty was actually one of the less-likely cases. Most of the others fell, he got pushed. Trapped in the warp, his Marines dying around him until he swore himself to Nurgle just to make it stop. Fulgrim was also pretty forcibly corrupted by the Laer blade. Most time-bomby I would say were Angron, due to the Butcher's Nails, Lorgar, due to him coming from a culture that worshipped Chaos and him trying to worship Empy, and Curze, because Curze was batshit insane from the moment he clawed his way to his planet's surface. The rest could've probably gone either way.
Wait what? I thought there was only 20 Primarchs? Who the heck is Omegon?
Wait I thought his NAME was Alpharius Omegon. So that's not a first and last name that's two different people? The hell?
Nope! Alpharius served as the face and assumed his brother's name as a last name.
Oh yeah he was one of the earlier ones I read about. Dude that molded molten steel with his hands and carried a giant hammer the size of a full grown man. That guy was awesome.
Answers to this can be found in Dark Imperium and Plague War by Guy Haley, which are set a century after the start of the Indomitus Crusade and have a lot of commentary on the state of the Imperium, and particularly it's state as a death cult worshipping the Emperor as a god and thus how they see him. Suffice to say, he's not a fan of the Ministorum, and even a century after his return, the static resistance of large swathes of the Imperium to change and the dogma and mindset behind it bother him greatly. Thing is, he's still got a lot on his plate, reorganising the Imperium is an impossible task, it's rotten to the core through every aspect of it, and the administratum and ministorum run through ever facet of Imperial life, top to bottom. But he is the great administrator, and while it's like pushing a boulder up a hill, part of his own skill set is compromise and the realisation that, by Dark Imperium, he's had to make massive compromises he despises already due to the literal hundreds of thousands of other issues that require his attention, including the half a million worlds lost in Imperium Nihilus.
Let's not forget Corvus Corax, who is conveniently named Raven Raven, before being assigned as Primarch of the Raven Guard :D
For sure. I've really enjoyed seeing them round it all out over the years since the primarchs were named, it's come a long way in the depth of detail applied to the origins of the legions. The Dark Angels are my favourites- they weren't even known as 'the first legion' originally, let alone the Dark Angels, as they were the only legion. They were only known as the Six Wings or the Emperor's Angels of Death, giving rise to it's use as a term for all Astartes as shock troops. Even then, compared to the info available when I was a kid and everything was barely hinted at in odd paragraphs here and there, there's long lore videos and entire books treating 30k like a documentary these days, whereas it was always just the mythological origins of the present setting when I was getting into it in the late 80s.
Corvus Corax is the actual scientific name for the Raven, so it's really just one Raven.
I find them really overpriced and use packs of art shop ones instead
They seem to change suppliers every four years or so. Quality varies.
I think this is likely the treatment going forward. A new unit of sorts, a set of dice, a combat patrol box. DG will have that character they showed off in the previews.
I can't use my medium layer brush for more than 2 minutes before the bristles start going in all directions. I clean my brushes with brush soap after every painting session...
I was hoping the new Bladeguard or heavy Intercessor kits would be up next week to take me sailing over the line as I'd be down for them anyway, ah well!
Imho, bladeguard and stormspeeder won't be out until da arrive in jan
Yeah fair enough. They've got a lot of kits to get out. Assault Intercessors, eradicators, gladiator, Gravis captain. This wave of marines is more than some new factions get, its insane.
ya, the community as a whole even marine fanboys are not happy with it. just way to many marines now, just way to many for no reason.
