Apothecary Vaddon

Sure, as long as you ignore the fact that Iax was getting dragged into the Garden (or the Garden was getting dragged into Iax, probably both tbh) because of what Ku'Gath and Mortarion were doing, and that the comparison b/w Lucius and the Emperor is hilariously idiotic to begin with, and the fact that ... a Custodian turning into Lucius has nothing really to do with the scene that did happen? But don't let that get in the way of the salt-mobile. Pretty much all of the top 100 posts in that thread are better than...whatever that is.

Definitely is great. Carries the trilogy to its end suitably, furthers Guilliman's characterization, and bridges a few different works including The Great Work and Devastation of Baal. Loved the crap out of it. Couldn't put it down after I got it until I finished it.

I loved it. A great end to the DI trilogy, especially after it unfortunately got shifted in the timelines, some really great lore stuff in it.

I seem to recall Dead Men Walking was pretty decent, a real 40k love story tied in throughout it too. Ended about as well as it could on a world being invaded by necrons

dang thats actually a good theory

I've described it as a 'word salad' in the past. But weirdly enough I don't remember the Ahriman series being like that...maybe it was and I just don't remember, but these days I just skim everything until i get to some kind of lore tidbit that seems pivotal or whatever

Yeah I kind of glazed over everything that wasn't that. Just wasn't invested in anything other than those parts lol

There weren't many full battle scenes depicted over an extended time frame tbh, there was that primaris marine who got chopped in half by the hellbrute. Rest was just forces arriving or post battle stuff

5's out now, pretty good. The whole training montage scene in 4 was incredible.
