No one giving any love for Nemesis? I know it isn't widely popular, but I enjoyed it, and it has some Rogue Trader elements.

That's so cool

Any idea when this book will come available? Ebook or otherwise?

Man, not since reading the spoilers for Praetorian of Dorn have I regretted reading a spoiler on here so much. I won’t read any more of these threads till Dan the Man closes out the series.

The audio isn’t out till March 28 and that makes me a very sad panda.

I’m guessing this will tackle the Grey Knights/maybe Knights Errant? Saturnine May reference the old fleets stationer there, but my money is on its link to Titan.

Any mention of Arik Taranis or Ghota? Or efforts among the thunder warriors to stabilize themselves? While I don’t love that Primarchs in this case are big standards, I don’t mind at all that their organization foreshadows the legions so much. It’s old, established fluff that the legions were based on the thunder warrior model. Iirc, the very use of the term legion/chapter was a direct throwback.

Great to see this stuff still powering onward!

2nd ed chaos space marine mighty hero in terminator armour and (I think it was called a power field?) a wargear card that gave you a 2+unmodifiable save against anything, iirc. Oh I forgot. You could also upgrade him to a level 4 mastery psycher. Again, iirc. I never once killed the fugger.

Oh man, another rule of cool: I’m honestly not even sure how I feel about this one. It came about as I was pondering a topic from a while back about someone wanting 20k, and another frater said “that exists, it’s called Dune.” It reminded me of the great expanse of time between us and 30/40k, and how, especially in the HH, we get little references here and there to literature that predates our real world, modern era. Like the Ultramarines quoting Clausewitz, or Perturabo knowing about Da Vinci, or I don’t remember who talking about Shakespeare. Or a religion called Catheric. While I never quite hate mentions like this, I’m never entirely comfortable with them either. Given the great son of time, even though there is technology, I usually think that there should be no way that we modern readers should have any familiarity whatsoever with the setting, even if all we are getting are throwaway mentions.

Guilliman in space was 100% win. Iirc, it wasn’t that the ship was in high atmosphere at all, but that the ship had its own pocket of very light atmosphere around it. Guilliman said “Primarch biology helped, but...” Other rule of cool moments? Angron holding up a warhounds foot for a little bit( and damn-near dying in the process) or Lorgar pulling Thunderhawks out of the sky.

And we thought they would never make a mode for Beast Krule. Well done!

It’s all in the title. Since 5th, I’ve had amazing success with these units. I have 7 of them, and would run tornado and typhoons as basically highly mobile gunboats. They could move modestly and still onload, say, two crack missiles and a multi melts shot, or if I was feeling particularly nasty, two multi melta shots. They generally enjoyed a high survivability rate, which always struck me as odd, seeing as they far more often than not really brought the pain. I don’t really play anymore, may never play a game of 8th, at this rate. Does anyone still use these bad boys?

...I guess you could say that the three of them...got fisted...

Ultramarines.
