I’m going to make everyone look at my bad takes.

This post is titled.

Just say it.

For the past two months I've been reading quite a few 40k books.

I saw it all, read it all, not many things suprise me anymore.

BUT

For the love of god everyone just self sensors when it comes to the word fuck.

In First and only they say feth.

In 13th Legion they say frag.

Just say fuck. Just say it, are you afraid your mom will put you on time out if you say it.

Let's ignore the gang rape scene in Inquisition War.

Let's ignore the detailed scenes of being devoured alive by tyranids Deathwing had.

Let's even ignore the mountains of corpses every book has by the end.

No

Saying the word fuck is just taking it too far. Doesn't matter that 4 seconds ago someone died by being disemboweled and we got the juciest details of their guts spilling out.

No

Saying fuck.

Now that's where we draw the line.

This is one of the funniest exchanges I've read in the Heresy:

Meduson: I'm tired.

Vulkan: I have been slain repeatedly.

Meduson: Fair.

This man has zero chill and I love him for that and will defend him with my life.

Biggest loss of all when he stopped writing for GW.

what is it about writing Necrons that drives Black Library authors to such fits of genius

having read several 30k books about the falls of various chaos legions, Fulgrim is SO funny because it's like:

Horus: externally has SEEMINGLY logical, well-reasoned justifications for engaging in rebellion. Post Isstvan, he is approximately the same guy as before and externally reasonable, even if he is cold, cruel, and calculating

Angron: literally exactly the same before and after rebelling, the man has a chip in his brain that makes him love murder so loyalist!Ronnie and rebel!Ronnie read basically identically. the rebellion doesn't change him that much at first in terms of the level or intensity of his murderhoboing

Magnus: the fall of the Thousand Sons is like a Shakespearean tragedy level of pride and misunderstanding, but Magnus going to Horus makes perfect sense especially considering he is literally like 20 ghosts in a trenchcoat, and he's clearly still ~trying~ to do his own fucked up version of the right thing after getting Bane'd by Russ

Fulgrim: picks up a sword and INSTANTLY becomes the most vindictive mentally unstable honors kid you've ever met. Polite art loving loyalist to BATSHIT Dorian Grey in 100 pages. Decides who will die on Isstvan III not based on their loyalties, but on who has dealt him narcissitic injuries (based on what a talking demon sword is telling him). Engages in heated debates with a portrait of himself painted in the blood and viscera of a murdered man. Stabs his captain in his quarters and gets kind of turned on about it approximately. 5 seconds after deciding to turn on the emperor. This man was a corked bottle of pure chaos just waiting for a screw and it is amazing.

There are no words for how much I love this guy.

He's a treasure and should be protected at all cost.

Newsflash, the Admech have an augmentation to make them more racist.

An excerpt taken from Fire Warrior, by Simon Spurrier, and published by Black Library on September 2003. The text reads as it follows:

of sophistication. Like some energistic equivalent of the gantry surrounding the powercore, the ship's logic engine was a structured gem: a perfectly aligned arrangement of operative tiers and commands, symmetrical and cohesive. Had his sense of awe been complete, he suspected, he might actually be impressed by the technology's complexity. As it was, the puritens surgery released a stream of disapproving endorphins into his mind, filling him with revulsion and making him all the more aware of the xenogens blatant disregard for the proper obeisance owed to the Machine God.

Today. 👏🏻

We I give an answer to a question you never asked.

And no I don't mean the minis. I mean the actual armor. If it was real, how much would it approximately cost to paint?

So first things first. Lets explain our variables.

(The board bas been censored to avoid spoilers)

We have on the first column the name of each primarch.

The second we have how much 1kg of pigment costs. Note that each Primarch has a different pigment thus different cost.

Third is the 1.5 kg. With the power of math I concluded that each primarch would need 1.5kg of pigment to have their armor painted. (We will assume that all primarchs armors will have the same sqft of surface that needs to be coated).

Forth is the fixed cost. That is the general cost for supplies, coat, varnish etc. Again we will assume that this cost is the same for everyone because I like being sane.

And finally we have the total cost. We add the add the 1.5 kg cost with the fixed cost.

Corvus / 3048,075 €

Russ / 3066,945 €

Fulgrim / 3202,605 €

Perturabo / 3211,875 €

Magnus / 3251.85 €

Perturabo's armor paintjob costs a lot more than Fulgrim's. So that's that.

Vulkan / 3309,04 €

Omegon / 3310,71 €

Konrad / 3334,8 €

Lorgar / 3398,34 €

It's not a huge bump in cost. Still very much rational. It's just the paintjob right? They have to redo it all the time.

Right?

Alpharius / 3405,21 €

Ferrus / 3410,715 €

Mortarion / 3410,715 €

Horus / 3461,535 €

Lion / 3674,73 €

Angron / 3741,75 €

Sanguinius / 3957,39 €

So far the numbers are pretty tame. Except angel boy who was so close to breaking the 4k mark.

But...

We are missing two people here...

On the number 2 of the most expensive armor paintjob we have...

A round of applause please.

Roboute / 45091,5 €

No. You saw correctly. The lord of Ultramar needs to spend 45k to paint his armor.

Where did that number come from?

Fun fact.

The original ultramarine was lapis lazuli. The precious gemstone. And let me tell you something about lapiz pigment...

It's expensive. 💸💸💸

But let's not wait any further.

On number one we have...

Dorn / 95346 €

Yes.

95k just to paint his armor.

My man...

My myth...

My legend...

Every time he goes to a crusade one planet's taxes need to be spent just for his armor to stay nice and painted.

The lesson of this long ass post?

There is none, besides

Dorn and Guilliman are two high maintenance fatherlovers.

Btw, y'all should buy The Fall of Cadia by Robert Rath, if you haven't already. Another straight up winner from the man. Provoking & enjoyable portrayals of Creed, Cawl and Trazyn (among others). Many beautifully depicted death scenes that are picturesque in their tragedy. It is, to me, one of the rare books where you actually have a true sense of the Imperium losing, and the ground-level impact contained therein. If any of you have played Halo: Reach, it evokes that same sort of feeling.

So I just finished Avenging Son by Guy Haley and I'm screaming!

I have so many emotions! It's so good! It's so fucked up! Guilliman is such a bad man! Is alpha primus Alpharius? Messinius is such a sweetheart! Guilliman is such a calculating, bad, very bad man! I want to hit Cawl with a stick until it breaks and then get a new stick! The Blackstone thing is really cool! Guilliman is so fucking shady! No wonder Horus and Big E didn't trust him! Im fine with the Primaris, I dont get the hate at all anymore. The Inquisitor is pretty cool, and im concerned over the fact that I now like two inquisitors. The Horus Heresy books are canon in universe! This book is so meta I can't, but not in a bad way. I hope the next book is half as good and I will be happy.

Overall, a good book 10/10 - Will listen to it again.

Diversity win: former zealot-killer of House Cawdor, who remains deeply faithful in the Emperor and afraid of divine condemnation years later, is also chaotic queer.
