I Imagine It's Because Of How Their Centuries Of War Weigh On Their Souls.

Unless you top, in which case you get "Iron Without."

If you fuck an iron warrior this pops up

What do you take him for? Some kind of scientist?

I like to imagine Cawl making AI copies of Pre-Heresy Fulgrim and Ferrus (something along the vibe of Bile making Clonegrim and Cawl making AI Roboute) but he hides them inside a computer or something so no one can find it, and these two living AI copies are kinda just chilling in a made up world together, thinking this is reality and that they're in a time of peace post-crusade and forging weapons every day to pass the time.

Can you imagine something like San Junipero from Black Mirror? Where these two are still close and happy together, living in a fake world inside a computer/simulation (╥ᆺ╥;)

Maybe it's just the people I follow, but I feel like the Emperor's Children community on Tumblr has a bit of a woobification issue. I wasn't sure how to describe it, but that word fits.

Lucius is a pretty neat character--compared to the other Chaos Champions, he didn't have that big a role in his legion's fall to Chaos--he was even slated to die alongside the Loyalists on Istvaan III. He still became Slaanesh's champion. He has, through his personality and abilities, pleased Slaanesh far more than Eidolon, who practically orchestrated the Legion's entire fall, and I don't think people talk about it enough.

He doesn't "win by losing", he wins when he loses. He's a damn good fighter, and he's been doing it for ten millennia. If he was bad, there'd be so many faces on his armor that you wouldn't even be able to make them out.

Those faces also serve to torment him. As someone else pointed out, "every one of those faces is a reminder that the fact that he's alive means he's been beat". And it pisses him off, because he's a proud bastard--and he damn well should be, he's the champion of a Chaos God.

Lucius is no girlfail at all

I have reposted the girlfail-post, because it's fun and I got a laugh out of it, but my more earnest opinion is: Lucius is incredibly successful.

Some of his accomplishments without any claim to completeness:

Beating the Mournival in consecutive duels (Loken cheated by Emperor's Children-standards, so fuck him)

He's made Captain in a perfectionist Legion of Aristocrats, despite hailing from gladiatorial pits.

He made Palatine Blade - elite of the elite

He organized a coup against Fulgrim, because he wanted the demon out and survived (by staying mostly out of it, but that shows that he has a brain indeed)

He impressed Slaanesh enough to become his Champion.

He impressed Fulgrim enough the Primarch strongarmed Fabius into reviving Lucius.

He impressed Ahriman enough the Chief Librarian kept him as bodyguard/killer (and didn't betray him - a rare occurance with Ahriman).

He isn't the most social guy, yet he became leader of a rather successful warband.

He killed a Bloodthirster (with the help of his Raptors, but still!)

40k Fulgrim uses him as his personal hitman.

He had fun fighting and killing in Commorragh (he got asked to leave).

And that's just from the top of my head. Lucius is one of the most successful, ruthless Chaos Marines still in existence.

Not Mine. Thought to Share.

Yaoi? In my gayest sci-fi setting ever?

It's more likely than you think.

In the grim darkness of the future… there is only yaoi

The US certainly did play a huge role in beating the Nazis, too. The Leand-Lease act sent billions of dollars worth of supplies across the Atlantic, which was a major factor in the allied victory. Roughly 30% of the trucks, bombers, and fighters used by the Soviet Union by the end of the war were US-supplied, not to mention the immense amount of food shipped over.

We did beat them, not with guns but with farms and factories (and then we helped with the guns part at the end).

Each of the base marine detachments except for First Company is designed to be particularly fitting for one of the codex-compliant first founding chapters.

Anvil Siege Force: Imperial Fists

Stormlance Assault Force: White Scars

Ironstorm Spearhead: Iron Hands

Gladius Task Force: Ultramarines

Firestorm Assault Force: Salamanders

Vanguard Spearhead: Raven Guard

They are also pretty blatant about which chapter they correspond to. Anvil has an enhancement related to the chapter fleet, which seems like it comes out of the blue until you realize that the Imperial Fists have always had a pretty important and powerful fleet.

Ah classic GW, going out there proclaiming the "year of chaos" or whatever and then on the reveal show that has all established chaos legions primed they show off more new/refreshed models for some redundant cringe Space Marine offshoot than the actual chaos factions get.

In addition, they somehow imply to make Imperial Fists and Salamanders unique factions BEFORE Drukhari is even on the horizon for a Codex. Just what is up with that?

GW, what the hell?

Big E made sure his sons had the whole human package.

this is what really happens when yall make ship children

Lung cancer is all ing your lungs, and it will still kill the rest of you.
