Nehekhare Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Because hating the Ultramarines is what all the cool kids are doing. Because downplaying it as hatred when others criticize self-aggrandizing as flawless and examplary reveals massive ego problems :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267355-warmaster/page/2/#findComment-3274134 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavement Artist Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I'm not so certain Horus is saying that Corax is necessarily better than Alpharius. I think he's acknowledging that they operate in similar ways and that when you get down to it, as an ally, Corax is a lot more reliable than Alpharius. I'm aware Horus and Alpharius were close and have a lot of early history together. However, you have to consider the facts that: A: There's that small question of WHY he joined team naughty in the first place. Was it the Cabal? Was it for his own reasons? B: Alpharius has hardly been exemplary in terms of honesty. What with infiltrating other legions without the warmaster's knowledge, withholding workable gene data and what not. Despite the similarities in operating from the shadows, Corax is much more straight up and down than Alpharius. It's one of the reasons i admire him. He was raised with a great understanding of injustice and the struggles against oppression. I think that Horus feels were Corax on his side, he'd have a guy fulfilling the same role, but one he wouldn't have to constantly keep an eye on.

DarthMarko Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 The one thing that shocked me though: Roboute is pronounced Rowbooty? Freaking ROW-BOOTY?! Such a terrible name for one of the better Primarchs. :) ^ This... Because hating the Ultramarines is what all the cool kids are doing. Because downplaying it as hatred when others criticize self-aggrandizing as flawless and examplary reveals massive ego problems :) Btw, I love UM, and there is a big difference between "hate" and when some things are annoying....

Ozeryk_Sleipnijr Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Freaking ROW-BOOTY?! Who came up with that name and why did they choose it. Thank goodness we got Leman Russ.

Lepaca Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Curious that people only seem to complain about this now and not 20 or so years ago... ;-) I was always confused by the name but I thought the pronounciation would be closer to something french-sounding... Ruboot or something. I definately never thought that the final /e/ would be voiced. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267355-warmaster/page/2/#findComment-3275168 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavement Artist Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 And if you write it out in such a daft phonetic way as "Rowbooty" you're going to be embarassed :P Actually i want alternate names for the Primarchs now.

Yeah, it still feels like he's about in some form, he's haunting Fulgrim almost, Horus is talking to his skull, I don't expect him to be resurrected, it's just it's odd that despite him dying in Fulgrim he's still "around".

Emperor's Furor Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Actually I don't think even in his chaotic form Horus would do that to one of his brothers, he seemed to "care" a great deal in this audio.

Vesper Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Curious that people only seem to complain about this now and not 20 or so years ago... ;-) I was always confused by the name but I thought the pronounciation would be closer to something french-sounding... Ruboot or something. I definately never thought that the final /e/ would be voiced. :) The voiced /e/ doesn't feel french to a frenchman too, buddy :P. Looks like they tried to make it sound latin. Which is pretty funny, because 'Roboute' isn't really related to Roman stuff, or vaguely close to something that could have been latin (in the anthroponymy). Could be something sounding germanic or french, not latin. Funfact : 'guili' is a childish word to say 'tickle' in french. So, yeah. Rowbooty Tickleman is pretty hard to take seriously.

Anvilarium Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Even more annoying is how his name (and various other names/titles) seems to change from Audiobook to Audiobook.. So far I've heard the following variations: - ROW-BOOT-AY GOOLY-MAN - ROB-OOT-AY GOOLY-MAN - ROBE-OOT GOOLY-MAN - ROBE-OOT GILLY-MAN (my preferred pronounciation) - ROB-OOT GILLY-MAN Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267355-warmaster/page/2/#findComment-3276632 Share on other sites More sharing options...
