They are more pleasing to the eye than the Thunder Warriors; almost comely in their closeness to the human form. I have no doubt this will be a final solution. You might face the Thunder Warriors and see them as ogrish; but with this new army there can be no doubt the Emperor leads the best of humanity.

Sandlemad Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 This is phenomenal. The XI legion warrior ('manhide', goddamn) is great but the found-document style background is some of the best I've ever seen. You wield your redactions like a brush.
