Trazyn being Trazyn during the fall of Cadia 🤣

One of my favorite parts of the Warhammer 40k novel "The Fall of Cadia" was when Jarran Kell sacrificed himself to get Castellan Creed on a ship. He faced Abaddon by himself and he knew he was about to die so Abaddon was like "You're going to die in front of your friend without honor" to which Kell says "You're going to kill me with the same blade that Horus touched the blood of an angel, what greater honor is that?" Abaddon then goes "Horus was weak and a fool, I am better than he ever will be." Then Kell, with just absolutely Titanic balls, responds "You keep saying how much you hate Horus, then tell me why do you dress like him?"

Bitch just called Abaddon a cosplaying fanboy to his face before dying.

Six characters meme ft. some of the cast of Fall of Cadia

Abaddon knows how to inspire loyalty.

Why does he always have a powerful sorcerer/psyker who selflessly loves him and is ready to do anything for his love in every book? Not that I'm complaining though

Yes Abaddon was evil during Fall of Cadia but tbh if I was fighting my 13th attempt at a galactic crusade and everyone kept bringing up my daddy issues throughtout I'd be crashing out too by the end. He still could have been nicer to his daughter tho #generationaltrauma

kind of heartwarming to know that Trazyn envisions their relationship as a School of Athens deal, intellectually and philosophically fulfilling

fascinating omission of personal agency re: How That Happened

[ghostinthegallery]

Shout out to Robert Rath and Fall of Cadia for making all the space marine characters a) vainglorious idiots b) vainglorious MEGA SUPER idiots or c) so wrapped up in their own personal drama and/or codes of honor that they were functionally useless until it was too late. I think Rath should be the only author allowed to write space marines until GW remembers they are supposed to be deconstructions of fascist military ideals and not superheroes.

Belisarius Cawl: You don't want me for your collection. I mean why take me, who has so much more history ahead of him, when you can take the legendary hero of Cadia right there. It would be a waste to let him die right now.

Trayzn the Infinite: You know the funny thing is I know you're playing me, but you're right.

The Cadian Victory Rose

A common place amongst most imperial gardens these days, the Cadian rose— much like many things of the world— were changed with warp exposure. Known to survive greatly in harsh conditions, the rose would only bloom when a change in the warp energy around them triggered it. This change was normally caused by feelings of relief, joy, accomplishment, which is what gained the plant the name of the “Victory rose” as this was the most common time of blooming.

For as devastating as the battle was, many scholars suggest that at the time of the fall, Cadia likey would’ve been its most beautiful, for the whole planet was in bloom.

Read the book. All of it. The paperback copy that GW blesses is (to my pleasant surprise) still intact. Did Robert rath cook? Absolutely. Now let me speak about something real quick. Yes— very quick.

Damm, it must be me or did veilwalker only appear once in phase one and mentioned when cawl reached Cadia? Lazlo kennik had more screentime and he got killed the moment he was introduced.
