It's OK though because I think Fulgrim liked it. Thats literally slannesh's shtick though, and honestly its kinda weird that people point that out as an example with all the other super hosed up things that happen in universe, like servitors. People falling for the super sexual fake pages would be understandable if it was talking about Slanneesh or whatever. Someone earlier in thread posted a page where Rouboute literally powerfists someone, with cheesey dialog to boot and they thought it was real.

I hate to say it, but I kind of want to read the rest of that book. If nothing else, it will make a perfect "Fact or Fan Fiction" for the Badcast.

Okay, I haven't read any of the Beast books, but is it true that Ullanor is actually Armageddon?

Suddenly Armageddon makes a lot more sense. (Well, more so now. It was already one of the best pieces of fluff from the 90s.)

So I've looked up more of the stuff from the beast novels. As far as setups go it all looks good, but does the novel series stick the landing or is it more middling bolter porn? I can see the Ork battle moon stuff getting repetitive, and I don't like the idea that there are still some Prime-Orks lurking around leading the major clans. Ghazzy needs something to be cool rather than him being second fiddle to the ungodly big Beast in current 40K

The Beast Arises is terrrrrrrible. Dumb, but not in the fun schlocky way most Warhams books are. Just dumb and bad, to the point that the entire thing is ridiculous, to the point that the series is unenjoyable as a result. It honestly reads like something from 30 years ago when canon was a lot fuzzier than it is now.

I got about 6 books in, but here are my thoughts: The first book was bad. Worst Abnett book, by far. Books 2-6 were alright. Some of the stuff was interesting, some a bit of a stretch (SMs siding with CSMs.) It's actually not a lot of bolter porn - there are a lot of machinations regarding the Council of Terra, the Inquisition, and some Ad Mech. Not enough Orks - for a series ostensibly about the Orks, they are few and far between in the first half of the series. I tried to burn through the entire series all at once, and that was probably a mistake, resulting in me crashing halfway through. It doesn't have enough momentum to carry you through a dozen books without taking a break.

I enjoyed most of it but the repeated attacks on ullanor got pretty silly and tiresome Everything outside of the big set piece battles was quite good though I thought

Well, as far as traitor legions go, the Iron Warriors are probably the most likely to form a truce, but that doesn't say much. They're only more likely to make a truce by virtue of not being daemonically infested psychos, coked up hedonists, or bloodthirsty nutjobs or guys who like to skin people. I mean, sure they make mutant babies from incubator women and like injecting themselves with gun building viruses, but that is relatively more understandable compared to other traitor legions.

The problem isn't the pragmatic traitors, it's that the other side will always see them as traitors deserving only of destruction. There is literally nothing that the Imperium considers more a threat than the possibility that an internal portion of it will just decide to leave.

AndyElusive posted:Wait, the Iron Warriors injected themselves with a gun building virus? That's Warhammer as hell. Yea the obliterator and mutilator virus. Obliterators can manifest any gun they want with infinite ammo and mutilators are the same with melee weapons. Neither are exclusive to the IW's, but the IW's have the largest concentration of them. Any CSM who goes a little to autistic and devotes their soul to melee or guns can become one.

Uroboros posted:Doesn't Gaunt know Kowle and was responsible for side-lining his career after Kowle had an officer shot for not shaving properly or something equally trivial? Almost exactly correct, wow. Sidelined him before a big battle in the crusade, hamstringing his career, for flogging one of his men to death for wearing the wrong badge on his cap. Which, to be fair, could've been a rank insignia or something in which case that makes comparatively more sense in the 40k universe.

Kowle wasn't an unusual Commissar. He was exactly the norm, but for whatever reason the Sabbat Crusade is staffed by reformers and comparably good people of which Gaunt represents the best and Kowle got caught stepping out of that line.

Normal commissars don't flog people to death for not having a cap badge. They send they on suicide charges so their deaths will be meaningful.

Honestly, I always had the impression that commissars like Gaunt and Cain actually are normal. You just don't hear much about the reasonable, competent commissars who are good at their jobs and respected by their troops unless they're the protagonists, and that the sort who kill more of their own men than the enemy are the outliers.

As with anything in 40k fiction it all depends on the author.

I really like the fact that Commisars attached to Death Korps regiments are there specifically to hold them back.

That's lame. The Imperium sucks, most Guardsmen are ready to run away or kill themselves at a moment's notice, Commissars set up machine gun nests behind their own lines. I know the fun of 40k is that everybody has their own 40k, but one thing that's pretty well established across the fluff is that every planet in the Imperium with a big enough population has to regularly pay a tithe of soldiers. Like, every ten years or whatever a bunch of troop transports will show up in orbit and say "yeah we need three million" and then fly off to get them all killed by Orks. If a planet can meet their quota by volunteers, fine, but I definitely get the feeling that the majority of guardsmen didn't sign up for that sweet I.G.Bill college money

Eh, the benefits of joining are actually pretty great if you live and most scenes of regimental raising in canon make it seem like it has become an honor, that is unless the planets been bled dry. . You get first claim or a high governmental position on any conquered planets after the end of a campaign which is really loving good for say someone like a hiveworlder. Also canonly most guardsman don't run away unless poo poo has gone real south and/or chaos has appeared. Its part of their whole deal in that they are normal people with lovely equipment and yet they hold the line. Telsa Cola fucked around with this message at 19:07 on May 10, 2017 |

If I remember correctly, in ADB's first book Cadian Blood there's a commissar from another world who gets attached to a Cadian regiment and tries to do commissar things, and they pretty much just murder him nonchalantly and go on with their business.
