Ladies and Gentlemen. The time is almost upon us. The finale of the very damn good Fabius Bile trilogy that Josh Reynolds has blessed us with - gracefully undoing the decades of gore-porn that followed Fabius' exploits around like a bad, slightly chlorinated smell Here's a few things I managed to dig up from Josh's Tumblr and a few other places. I don't know if they have been posted before, and I like to believe there isn't already a Manflayer thread These comments seem to be small quirky splinters based on what Reynolds had written up to that point, and with him later declaring that he would need to cut out about a third of the book some of these might not appear in the final version when we get it Otherwise, it seems this book builds towards the Battle of Who are your favourite characters from the series already? Besides Bill, I really liked Alkenex from Clonelord because he reminded me of a diligent rank-and-file officer... serving in a corrupted, shattered Legion of hedonists, but still retaining some of that trademark discipline and hierarchical deference that the III Legion were renowned for. I also declare Savona as the Queen of Love and Beauty of all Black Library females

Follow me, my Children, and the glory of victory shall be yours. We shall cleanse ourselves in the crimson waters of our enemy. We shall bring the ecstasy of quick release to those who stand before us. We shall give bloody praise to the Lord of Pleasure and sing his name as we dance across the fallen. Follow me, my Children, and you shall taste the undreamt joys that lie beyond the bounds of mortal sense. - Fabius Bile, Lieutenant Commander of the Emperor's Children http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-s3JO9L1A4Wc/URcm0GxfNnI/AAAAAAAAB34/DSAj7FoFMzQ/s1600/fulgrim.jpg Fulgrim the Phoenician, the Illuminator, the Prefector of Chemos “You fuss too much over making the "right" choice Gaius. All we need do is make a good choice, see it through, and accept the consequences.” - Fulgrim "Brothers of the Emperor's Children and warbands of Slaanesh, those loyal to the Emperor and those gifted with enlightenment, pre Heresy or post. It is time we made our presence felt to those who believe us totally disjointed and taken by pleasures they could never comprehend. Let us join together, no matter how briefly, and document the full extent of the 3rd Legion and those warbands who wage war to bring perfection to the Imperium and it's followers." "It is only asked that you illuminate us all with a proclamation of your Lord's name and any titles, his company number if still fighting in the Heresy or his warbands given name. If it pleases, you can even take some time to tell us of your deeds and victories, those who have gained honour within your ranks, and any other details you wish to embellish upon. The important details will be recorded here for all to see (Lord, company number, warband name, your name) and will be kept as up to date as can be so long as the slaves keep coming and those at the back keep the noise to an acceptable level (or you may have to spend time with my flesh crafter, and that's no reward). So please, after an example introduction, step forward and take the floor. We don't bite..." + + + + + + So here we have it. I have to credit Flint13, Jaspcat, and KrautScientist for the inspiration to put this in place (that and Khorne can't have all the glory after all). I'll get the ball rolling: ++ I am Forte, dedicated to Slaanesh and former Emperor's Children Legionnaire, send forth my 'Divine Flayers' lead by Nemitus 'the Flayed' Luura.

Hey everybody! I decided to put together a WIP thread for the new Emperor's Children army I'm putting together - mostly to keep myself honest and motivated, but also so that I can share some of the hobby with you fine folks. I'm happy to entertain any suggestions, as true perfection can only be achieved through strife and the crucible of comba- err, critique. So, to start with I've already painted a couple of test minis from the Calth set. Eventually I'd like to add some vehicles to the army, but for now I'll be starting with mainly line infantry from the box sets. It's been a few years since I did any real painting, so I figure that's the easiest way to get back into the swing without ruining anything expensive and resin. http://i63.tinypic.com/2a2qhd.jpg I've got some more Tacticals ready for arms and shoulders that I'm hoping to get done today or tomorrow. http://i67.tinypic.com/2rwnrx2.jpg And that's it for the first post! Now hopefully I can keep on mission

"Hush, my child, ne’er say a word. I shall buy you gold-caged birds. And if those birds ne’er sings, I will buy you golden rings. And if those rings can't shine bright, I will buy…" It is a lullaby, a child’s song that originates back to our species earliest days. I find it entertaining that most view it as a song of a parent doing their utmost to please their child. What I picture when I hear this song is a spoilt child that can never be pleased. -Remembrancer Auria De Fuhmari, Attached to the III Legio. http://i1350.photobucket.com/albums/p779/theironwithin/Mobile%20Uploads/4B99B3A7-BDA3-4C0E-9830-743833A299CF_zpsxmpdbhny.jpg
