Medicine, man. I ain't gotta explain nothin'.

 

Man, that phrase really loses its punch when editing out the foul language.

 

Anyway, he does act like he is retreating or falling back after getting the Salamander's gene-seed. It doesn't show it happen, though.

It is unfortunate, and a bit lazy. We're already aware the Doc survives, so they feel that they don't have to show it. We're fully aware it happens. But when that's the case, it stops being a "Is he going to survive this!?" situation and becomes a "How is he going to survive this!?" situation. You don't need to skip to the end and show us he's alive. We're already aware he does. We want to know how he survives it.

 

Speaking of which, I liked Lucius and the Raven Guard. He keeps being shown as extremely arrogant and skilled, superior to all others, with the incident with Loken being a rare exception. But 40k fluff has him dying quite a bit. Each face on his armor is someone who killed him and became him. And there's a lot of faces. He gets beaten, so it was nice to see what it takes to do so.

Yeah, he isn't peerless. He just survives his peers. Although it is interesting that the first resurrection that we see is so radically different from the ones we know. Then again, considering the Raven Guard saw it as nothing more than putting down a rabid animal might have had something to so with it.

Which really didn't make a lot of sense, considering that Sharrowkyn specifically hunted Lucius down on the battlefield and gave his little "My name is Sharrowkyn. You tried to kill my father. Prepare to die." speech.

 

Lucius's resurrection "just because" after that...well, between Cyrene, Eidolon, Lucius and Torgaddon it seems nobody on the traitor side can stay dead.

Side note:

Did he actually get the salamanders gene seed?

 

 

 

Yes. Interestingly, later Warpsmith Honsou might be derived from it, going off the scratched off portions. HONorable SOUlakis.

 

I was just making sure.......

 

 

Although IIRC, wasn't Honsou a mixture of Soulaka's gene-seed with the Imperial Fist that Bile was experimenting on?
