Honestly, the biggest "wubbity wub wub" example I can think of is Dan Abnett writing Gaunt and Inquisitor Lilith having a brodown at the brodeo with the eldar.

Read the Dawn of War books where a Space Marine captain basically has the typical anime "I hate you but I fall in love with you" relationship with an eldar farseer.

I do remember some fluff writer who made a love story between a vindicare assassin and farseer Taldeer after he was sent to kill her...it was kinda good and then an inquisitor sent so much crap at him to eliminate this rogue assassin...oh well

As long a it isn't "wubby wub wub" and it is "What? That eldar ship flew right in front of my guns as I was firing." I should be okay.

Considering that the most often used examples of "wubby wub wub" are far more "What? That eldar ship flew right in front of my guns as I was firing" than "wubby wub wub," I doubt it will mean much to many who are against zenos-human alliances.

 

But not all examples. Like C.S. Goto. There's a reason Heathens gets that twitch in his left eye.

True enough, though I throw that into the "horrible writing" complaints bin, rather than the "Stop changing mah setting" one.

Wasn't that some /tg/ fanfic that got somewhat 'validated' by one of FFG's sourcebook easter eggs?

I am a bit confused. The Vlak Furrynka never need help. I am sure it's all a big misunderstanding on our part teehee.gif

Out of curiosity what is the timeline of Scars. I couldn't place it. 1 year into the Heresy?

Pretty much, more or less. Maybe not even that far in, considering how much confusion is going on about whether it is Russ or Horus who is the Traitor.

It is in the first year of the Heresy.

Hold up. Since when is that the date of the Siege?

 

 

 

The day of the Emperor's Ascension is 757.014.M31. There are 365 Sidereal days in a single year, 1000 segments in an Imperial Year. So 365 divided into a thousand equal segments is .365 d/s. So the Siege of Terra is 198 days long? That can't be right.

I enjoyed the story but I was little disappointed that they didn't go with the help from a surprise faction (unless the Alpha Legion bit was supposed to represent that)

They get help from the Orks.

"What we gonna do, boss?"

"Let's er, kill da blue wuns! Get 'em lads!"

Hey every one i just finished reading the scars and there was a little bit that bugged me because i was always under the impression that the khan wanted to stay behind and help Russ fight the alpha legion, but Dorn needed him at Terra so he had to leave. In the book he basically gave Russ the finger and off he went to do his own thing.

 

So is the BL version right and i had just had it wrong all these years?

I would not say that Khan just gave the Russ the finger. He had a valid reasons to do as he did. We, readers know how the situation looks but he don't have that kind of knowledge so he must do his own search.

About the BL version it isn't as much right as it is new. You could just stick to the old fluff.

What? Eldar?

 

Alpharius and Omegon are not amused...

Oh God - now all I can think about is when the ramps on the Alpha Legion Thunderhawks open at Istvann V, waves of blood puring out ala the Elevator Scene

Funnily enough, that sounds more in line with something a certain, mentally unhinged Legion would do.

Fixed that for you.

Except for the Night Lords and World Eaters. Then it's intentional.

Exactly. They have to clean their weapons somewhere. What better place than in view of the enemy?

 

The EC are too pretty to allow something as guttural as blood to spill forth from their Thunderhawks. Besides, they can't dance when the ground is wet.
