sexiest_hero Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Among being stealthy, Nightlords prefer many small battle to one big battle. They also very agressive at patrolling. Iron warriors trust threir wargear only and rarely ally with other leigions and cults. They will allow small groups of Iron warriors to be cut off, knowing thier sturdy field barricade will hold. The Alpha leigion, take great pride in thier power and will often times send in a smaller force just to test themselves. They love proving thier skills over loyalest marines over all others. Word beares do not retreat from battle, the only way thay can be stoped is by the word of the Dark Apostle, or when every single word bearer is dead. Word bearer armies are often times unbalanced, Ommiting things like heavy support acording to the whims of the Dark Apostle.

Drudge Dreadnought Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 World Eaters are not insane all the time. Many are calm when out of combat, and have great control and discipline with their rage.

Drudge Dreadnought Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 thats either RT or 5th ed stuff right? because even the codex we have now say that they are madman . Not sure. Its collaberated by the short story in our current codex.

Kadaeux Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 thats either RT or 5th ed stuff right? because even the codex we have now say that they are madman . In a sense yes and no, remember that not every Khorne Bezerker is a World Eater. Also if it was the case the World Eaters would have wiped themselves out long ago without any help from others. Chances are that its like the Bezerkers of history, they would lose control in combat totally but once the fighting died down they would come to their senses and be able to think clearly again.

Chances are that its like the Bezerkers of history, they would lose control in combat totally but once the fighting died down they would come to their senses and be able to think clearly again. I sort of agree here. The Khârn story, even if it ends with the typical Khornate club swinging, has some interesting features. For instance, bezerkers taking cover, listening to artillery and waiting for them to reload or run out of ammo. Then the bezerkers need to high tail it across the plaza to get into another position. This is certainly not the image we are force fed of bezerkers charging headlong up the center, eating rounds with their faces and winning anyway. If anything, nothing is really written in stone. Ben Counter's treatment of Word Bearers in Daemonworld is pretty cool... a stand out in an otherwise terrible book. In that novel, Word Bearers are calculating and philosophical in their views of chaos.

sexiest_hero Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Chaos chosen have literally thousands of years of combat experience. They have ruled worlds, led armies, and destroyed civilisations.

Roultox Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 A fun fact thread for newer fellas who missed the oppertunity to peek at any codex before 4.0. Fact: Malal 'was' the god of self destruction, empowering those who value vengeance. Malal's personal temple had 4 cages, for 4 greater daemons in torture. When cast out, he became forlorn. His colors are black and white halved, and checkers. Some rumors suggest he is involved with the Inquisition, Goff Ork Clan and affiliated with various other deities. Truth: Games workshop didnt want to pay to use malal, and abandoned him as if he never existed during 2nd edition. (The fella with his copyrights made the cost too high) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/161711-chaos-fun-facts/#findComment-1900529 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard from several different people that Malal, when he existed, only existed in Fantasy and that all 40k stuff for him is fan made.

I have heard from several different people that Malal, when he existed, only existed in Fantasy and that all 40k stuff for him is fan made. Back then the Fantasy universe was officially located inside the 40k universe, thus if Malal existed in the Fantasy one he was forced to exist in the 40k one as well since they were connected. This was also the time when the Fantasy Battles Chaos army could take strange Chaos Warriors in huge self-moving armors with strange weapons which fired thunder bolts which struck down the unbelievers, said Warriors also came from the great beyond through the Chaos Gate in the Chaos Wastelands. This was also known as the Chaos Space Marines with Bolters in the Hordes of Chaos army. ;) TDA Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/161711-chaos-fun-facts/#findComment-1900636 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillin Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 It's true that malal never existed in 40k, and not even in fantasy gamewize, only in a few pieces of fantasy fiction in a mag. that predated the black gobbo. From what I remember the guy that "owned" him was never a GW employee but a free-lance writer. He a GW could not come to terms (I don't know that GW ever offered anything) It would seem they guy missed the boat and did not capitalize on the character, as far as I know he has never done anything with malal in another game or piece of fiction.

Not quite Malal was also a God in the Dungeons and Dragons universe, Wizards of the Coast were going to sue Games Workshop and it wasn't clear who had the original idea/concept/copywrite. Games Workshop just dropped Malal as he/it was still in its Early stages and wasn't exactly key in anything. In short WotC wouldn't back down and GW would have likely lost the lawsuit (so I hear) so GW who had nothing to lose by it dropped Malal.
