Vengeful Spirit

I don't think BL could handle Ferrus Manus' revival any worse than GW already has the state of his soul.

Care to elaborate? I'm stick in Heresy World and haven't read much on that "other" game

Apparently, haven't read the actual source material, when Ferrus Manus died his spirit become a greater daemon called the Sapphire King. The Sapphire King coincidently seems to hate the Iron Hands and wants to destroy them, or at least tempt them into Chaos.

It's so obvious now, why didn't anyone else come up with this genius idea before? Give that man a raise!

Where is this from?

Look at your Primarch. Now look at me. Now back at your Primarch. He's a Keeper of Secrets.

 

What is he doing? He's tempting his Legion to be more cybernetic and emotionless.

 

Anything is possible when Matt Ward writes your fluff.

 

 

You are a beautiful being of light Wade, dont let anyone tell you differently.

Was it not some of his essence and not his spirit/soul that became the sapphire king? Could be proof of the emperors deal with the chaos gods? Just sayin'!

IIRC, the sapphire king came to existence due to the emotions that Ferrus was feeling when he died.

Basically all the emotions he suppressed believing that they made him weak, were released when he got offed by Fulgrim. (I'm not saying it's good mind you)

I didn't say that I want to see Tarvitz or any other Isstvan III Loyalists brought back in some ridiculous deus ex machina... I merely pointed out a possibility (although one I don't want to see come to pass). So no need to be snide about it. whistling.gif

I have been out on this limb for years, and i continue to hold out hope for those last 100 who were with Tarvitz. And you should not be surprised when those who cant stand the grimdark of the HH getting a few more lights, bemoan the idea. Like throwing a match into a room filled with fireworks. When Tarvitz and Co do make their return, the 40k interwebs will have to be taken down. You might be right about Murder, i will have to dig up your reference. This might be another bread crumb for poor lil lost Tarvitz.

You know, I would have preferred it that all who fought for the Loyalist cause on Isstvan III died and stayed dead there. Bringing them back cheapens the poignancy of their sacrifice. 

 

Back on topic: the one that stuck out while i read VS is the amount of "product placement" involved - the subplot of the House of Devine was intriguing in its own way, but I think it is better suited to stand on its own as a novella. I also wish that the Blood Angels and the Ultramarines garrison would have put up a better showing as a last stand. The Ultramarines in this novel does not measure up to their (equally doomed) peers in Betrayer or Know No Fear. 

The Blood Angels did not need to be in the book at all, as they contributed precisely nothing to the book. They were added with little thought and little idea. If the book was longer, and written with more coherent direction, then the Blood Angels could have been an interesting side-plot. As it stands they did as much as the Ultramarine garrison did to the book's plot; nothing of note and could easily have been deleted in editing without affecting the book.

The Blood Angels in VS are throw away toons.  However they set the precedence that the events on Signus Prime affected all Blood Angels and not just the ones there.  It also demonstraights how the Red Angel can be used as a weapon.

 

Meaning not an important part of VS but has the potential of being a spoiler for upcoming books.

Their entire presence in the book could have been a totally separate short story featuring a small garrison force of Blood Angels being tempted by the Red Angel.  They brought nothing at all to the story.

 

And I would definitely agree that surviving Istvaan III cheapens the actions of those who stood against Horus there.  They went down screaming their devotion in the faces of their traitor brethren, and should have been allowed the dignity of ending their stories there.

But then you need a convincing story that has Horus turning his new shiny weapon loose on a small garrison of Blood Angels.  Their conviently being on Molech does that and shows the infighting between daemons nicely.  Without the need of anymore story beyond "Hey there are some Blood Angels too".

On another note, how does Fulgrim maintain his presence in the material universe following his daemonic makeover? I mean, whenever a daemon appears outside the Warp, don't they need a physical shell? Fulgrim's flesh-and-blood body was destroyed by Perturabo during the events of Angel Exterminatus. 

Was he banished for ten thousand years, or banished and didn't come back for ten thousand years? Considering he is a Daemon Prince, the main object of his focus is the Great Game that goes on in the Warp between the Gods, and not the material realm.
