Raktra Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Aside from Christmas day, and possibly Boxing Day, I'll be as usual on here. This project is part of my stable place, it's hard to not wanna be about :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skalpynock Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I should be operating within usual parameters (that is saying not much, but still able to answer a question within 48 hours unless it concerns Vizenko), with a previsible loss of presence in early January due to exams. Still, in the event of a possible unexpected disappearance for more than a month, feel free to assume control of my legions. Having to re-write a canon worked with the Ghosts due to them having nearly no fluff, the Jackals were slightly less elusive, but still distant, but right now I think we've reached a point of non-return. Should I fall, my legions won't, and if I return and see fluff I don't like, feel free to blame my absence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelborn Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I'm on vacation at the end of Decembre for Christmas and new year. As I'm staying at home, I'll be here as usual. ^^ Hopefully I'll be able to write something down again, be it for the Predators or something else, depending on my mood. :) But first of all, I'll devour Angels of Darkness and Wrath of Magnus. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluntblade Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Another vague idea for artwork, as this just struck me watching the nor'wester clouds out here. A shot of some regular sized Iron Bears ships with the Dragon of Autumn taking up so much of the frame that you don't see it at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluntblade Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Seeing as I've been pondering titles the Legions ascribe to their own Primarchs in canon (Commander for Horus, Khagan for the Khan) would any of our Legions besides the Lions do the same?

Yucahu is simply the First (Great) Admiral of the Eagles. I think there's a list of Kozja's titles somewhere, it goes on and on as Custodes names would.

bluntblade Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I figured that, but I reckon he ought to have one that defines him to his troops (not to be confused with a name such as Lupercal or Aurelian, though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikhalLeNoir Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 (edited) Gwalchavad = Avatar of Light. The Emperor is the light. And to the wardens Gwal is the one true embodiement of the Emperors Will to create peace in the galaxy. Which leads to another motto of the wardens: Si vis pacem para bellum Edited November 26, 2016 by MikhalLeNoir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~Drakzilla~ Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 For the Warriors, the Jade General is often referred to simply as The Master, or Grandmaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikhalLeNoir Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 General Question after reading "Master of Mankind" Watch out, could contain spoilers As the emperor views the primarchs in canonverse as weapons and creatures and not as his sons and lacks the warmth (even towards horus who is only number xvith to him) a father should give his sons. What effect does this have to the broverse? Is he exacrly the same? Or is our incarnation of the emperor more understanding and caring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluntblade Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 AD-B's pretty much said that can be attributed to the interpretation of the individual He's talking too. That's a lot to square with the way he's seen treating His sons. I'll reserve judgement until I've read the book myself Kelborn 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelborn Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) Yeah, depends on the interpretation of the reader. To Malcador, he is naming them by their names and calls them sons. To an AdMec member, he is naming them by number and "it". Why would he call them sons before a being based on logic? Haven't read it by myself. Will wait for it until its out in German to avoid missing something. But this statement resulted in a HUGE discussion in the BL subforum. AD-B also said that he doesn't invented the wheel new. There is nothing completely new in it. Well, besides the stuff about Drach'nyen maybe. ^^ Everything covered by the book was mostly already known. Big E is not Big Daddy? Obvious. He maybe sees his Primarchs as pure weapons? Sure. He let all Thunder Warriors being slaughtered after they'd served their purpose. Don't think that our Emperor should be different. We need at least one constant thing in our broverse, even if its an ambiguous Emperor. ^^ *edit* If you got spare time, have a look in the MoM thread within the BL subforum. Within 48 hours, more than 9 pages were written. Enjoy it. ;) Edited November 28, 2016 by Kelborn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluntblade Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 He's said nothing said about the Emperor in the book should be taken at face value. So that's gonna be foremost in my mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Captain Redd Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I can sort of see the point though, I know personally I've always had it that Daer'dd sees himself as a weapon for war and tool for empire building. He is a living being, but he was made with a purpose. So I can see the duality of it without it being a dichotomy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigismund229 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Author: Sigismund229 Legion: None Date: 071.M31, Siege of Terra My sons… For tens of thousands of years I have been alive and wandered among mankind’s teeming masses. I have seen civilizations rise and fall. I saw the Golden Age of Technology begin and fall down into a smoking ruin. I rose from those ruins and set out from Terra to reunite humanity and usher it into a new Golden Age that will last until the end of days. Never once did I doubt my course. Not until now. Icarion, Kozja, Jackel, Morro, Koschei, Alexos, Raktra, K’awil, [the Jade General]. Nine of my sons raise their arms against me. Yet they are not wrong to do so and it is my fault that they do. I did not tell them the truth of the warp, of their birth…I sought to protect them from it and in doing so damned them. Oh my sons. Why do you tear me away from myself? I hate the pacts I needed to make to create you with every fibre of my being. There is not a day that goes by when I do not regret creating you. And yet I love you with all my heart. I have done enough, made enough mistakes. I can already see the outcome of this war. There is only one way in which it can end. That final day, when Icarion charges forth from the webway shall be the beginning of my penance. Every day of my life has been leading up to this point. I could defeat Icarion. I shall not. I shall allow myself to be interred on the Golden Throne. There, I shall suffer and have time to contemplate every one of my mistakes. And by the time of the last days, perhaps my sons will be able to forgive me. The testimony of the Emperor of Mankind. Guess I'm gonna need to change this...:cuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skalpynock Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Now we have proof that Yucahu was right, and even more legitimacy for the Suzerainty to exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikhalLeNoir Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 And I was right to ask the question as we already have fluff pieces where Big E is more a fsther. Damn. Thst was a reason for gwal to joim because he protected icarion from gwals powers. Where in canonverse tbat was not the case and gwal was more forced to join and fully aware that he will be used as a weapon and was not in peace with that. And the emperor must not be exactly the same. He made other decision s in broverse, choose alex and not the firstborn. Explained to alex the chaos threat. I limw the fact that he is here more caring ( even if in the book it is always the interpretation of the one he talks to) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Perils Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 @sigi: if I were you, I wouldn't bother writing another one - the emperor should be so far beyond our comprehension that no-one could even integrate what he writes as a testimony. It is as if a single ant were to write a testimony from the point of view of a human. This also puts simison's dialogue of big E with alexandros into a bit of doubt no?
