why thank you

I have a bit of lore in my head for Lupus Vrannad: -half-Cadian baggage train rat, grew up in the guard -eventually climbed up the ranks to be a line officer -had a reputation for bravery, and ruthlessness, in combat -got thrown into jail after accusing a superior of cowardice

Speaking of Darktide, guess who just got their guy to Level 30

That moment in Black Legion book 2 when the Chaos Space Marines hear the term 'God-Emperor' for the first time. Their reaction. what follows next is one of the most important warhammer 40000 lore moments. And I am pretty sure I would love more like that in future from Black Library and less... you know, Stalwart Michaels vs Hysterical Belials pt 11.

This post is about Echoes of Eternity but I’m going to repost this at end of the series because it’s true and I don’t want anyone to spoil stuff in the comments

Also why I prefer Abaddon as Warmaster, he loves his brothers in black...the Black Legion series makes that very clear, but he is still a villain because he will use them up much more readily than the loyalists would use up people

I have said this before in other posts, but perhaps the thing which will always stick out to me about warhammer, above all the others, is the softness. The Siege of Terra is brutal--perhaps the Imperium at it's very most brutal, and Echoes of Eternity is no exception. We are watching night fall over a civilization--it is almost breathtakingly violent. And yet....and yet. Above the violence and the body horror and the blood and the death--a running thread through the entire Siege, through the entire war, and through this book, is love. Love and kindness amidst the horror. Love because of horror. Love in spite of horror. Dembski Bowden writes the traitors at their most villainous, consumed by the darkness of the Warp they can no longer run from, he writes the Loyalists at their very lowest, as their world crumbles to ruins and they are powerless to stop it. This book is overwhelming, fantastcally violent and yet. And yet. It's so incredibly soft. The theme of this books is love. Love for a father, for a bother, a friend, a stranger. Love for humanity, for a future that may never exist. Love for the living, for the dead. Love for the lost and the damned and the broken. Kindness, at the end. And, in the end, it is love which separates the traitors from the loyalists. It is not power, it is not control, it is not even the warp. It is that Jaghati would die to save his sons, while Mortarian would not. It is that Zeyphon would die to save a single human woman, while the traitors would use millions to stop the guns

I actually almost cried at the end; goddamn

[ask-valerian-40k]

I am feeling many more emotions than I expected to

great and terrible stuff

The End & the Death 3 is pretty harrowing. There’s this point in the book where storyline after storyline come to an end, page by page, and each one has spanned multiple books of the series. And to just see them end. To see these things that were hinted at and teased for so long, finally come to a conclusion, man, it’s hitting way harder than I ever thought it would.
