oh hi

question to HH readers, i am planning in reading Flight of the Einstein, is it good? does it have good and proper death Gaurd characterization?
 
@Matt

Chaos Gods have absorbed the knowledge on how to make their marines slightly taller.

@Morkar

I have not personally read it, but I have heard good things.
 
Azzy, have you seen the new Warhammer teaser video showing a Chaos-corrupted Imperial Aquila?

Lots of speculations on what that is.
 
Chaos hype.

Also dear ADB thank you for portraying a character who is supposed to be the single most dangerous individual in the current setting as the single most dangerous individual in the current setting.
 
"Nebuloscope: This arcane device allows the Tomb Blade's pilot to track his prey through seven different dimensions, allowing for a much more accurate shot."

I sometimes forget how bullshit Necrons are, and am then reminded that stuff like this is mounted on their equivalents to combat bikes.

don't forget he made him jovial, charismatic and affable! for that he is one of my favorites! (compare him to Archaon who simply acts like Sauron/Morgoth)
 
@Morkar

Very true.

One of my favorite parts of The Talon of Horus is that it portrays Abaddon as an actual leader. Khayon and the others don't follow him out of fear or because he strongarmed them into doing so; they follow him because he's the only one who made them believe they could return to glory, and treats them as brothers.

Even when he's pissed, he's still portrayed as smart (as he should be), doing things such as letting Fabius Bile live after he made all those ****** up Horus clones, simply because he realized getting rid of such a useful future ally wouldn't accomplish anything.

and he seems to treat everyone with respect! i so, SO want to see that side of Zeke in other books, instead of the thug everyone thinks he is! seriously i recall in a Discord saying that "he could not even shoot a guardsmen durrr" seriously, none in that thread even gave a crap about books, it is always about "Muh Failbaddon" and not even caring about what actual lore says, it should be a dead meme by this point.god damn i hate that Discord.
 
Horus is definitely at the top. So are guys like Angron, Sanguinius, Magnus and Russ.

This is assuming all Heresy Era, of course.
 
Top Tier

  • Horus Lupercal, Warmaster of Chaos
  • Roboute Guilliman, Lord Commander of the Imperium
  • Daemon Primarchs
High Tier

  • Horus Lupercal (Pre-Heresy)
  • Sanguinius
  • Magnus the Red / Leman Russ
  • Vulkan
  • Angron
I got nothing more, though.
 
I would be a part of Chaos Undivided, but

A. Nurgle is just Gross.

B. Tzeentch is confusing as all hell.

C. Slaanesh is a Hoe.
 
I don't know if I have a least favorite. Khorne is the least interesting to me conceptually, but I really do like quite a few of the characters associated with him.
 
alright, guys i want to explain why Khorne is so interesting to me (not as much as Nurgle thought), he and Tzeetnch are after the same thing: conflict. the difference is, that he desires a more direct aproach, he is empowered by anything that is violence, even brave heroes are Khorne's as their violent actions no matter the cause create rage and fury to the hero's enemies and the hero him/herself. Khorne does not care how you do it, but that you do it, he valuates physically fit and strong of will servants, unlike this brothers, as he seeks "humble" servants in that way. he also is not biased, if you kill of of this followers without being one yourself, he is happy to embrace you (well, as "happy" as he could be) as he is not biased; violence is all that matters. as long as it is either manmade of daemon blessed. i also had this theory about Khornate Berzerkers: he inflicts pain and rage (no BN withstanding) in order to test if this followers are strong of will, or archieve it, if you control your rage you are competent, cold, and cunning killing machine, if you don't well....you become a steriotype, both Khorne is uncaring, as he gets the skulls and tribute he desires.

@Az & @Matt what do you guys think?
