am I the only person tha thinks that the fact that black legion having painted there armous black is stupid just to remind them of a eternity of shame.

I painted mine mostly black but with some dirty reddish-grey color, as if they were starting to show a physical representation of their pure evil. EEEVILLLL!

Hey, if you botched something that big and your a legion of gene-modded super soilders, you need to revel in it.
or you could be 'that guy'

Lorgar (of the very successful Word Bearers) rings up the Abaddon of the 'Sons of Horus' at home:

Lorgar: " Hello, it's Lorgar. "
Abaddon: " Hey! How are you doing, it's been a while? "
Lorgar: " Oh I've been wallowing in my demon-prince greatness for almost 10,000 years, having my minions spread my word. Is Horus around? "
Abaddon: " er, um no, he's out... on business. "
Lorgar: " Hows the teal paint job treat'n you? "
Abaddon: " Good, good... look well I've got to go, you know, I've got well stuff important stuff to do.. so... "
Lorgar: " Oh no, it's cool. I understand, your legion has such a definitive direction and all. I understand, you have stuff. "
Abaddon: " ...yeah, so well tha.. "
Lorgar: " I mean after dropping that ball like that, 10,000 years of not making any headway, I'm sure y'all have a big come back soon. Oh well, it's been greaaaat catching up with you Abby, keep staying of the drinky-drinky and maybe you'll be a big-boy someday. "
*click*
Abaddon: " ***ker "

Meh, they both have a conniption when they get their long-distance bills. (Warp distortion and all, reams and reams of fine print at the bottom of the statement.) Besides, the Black Legion under Abaddon are too much 'on mission' to be bothered with what other legions think of them.

Oh, that "for-instance" was the Black Legion sans-black. (Teal Legion?)
I mean, without the pathos-driven we-must-avenge-ourselves-for-our-failure attitude of the Black-clad Black Legion, Abaddon would be a total closed window shades bourbon-drinking rage-aholic couch-potato drunk.
I'm just defending their uniforms.
They need to be clad in their angst.
It's their anti-(drink?)
and it would be sad to see Abaddon go down that road...

i think the black legion is overrated

We are returned!

But seriously, Black armor is just so Abaddon can work out his own feelings on being a sub standard clone of Horus.

so what whats to be shameful for

letting your warmaster and primarch get cut down

Anyone else see the Abbadon/Horus vs Cloud/Sephiroth comparison?

Amirite?

(Edit: spelling)

Sure.

Now let's all count how long Cloud/Seppy has been out vs Abaddon/Horus.

I am, sadly, old enough to have been around when both were introduced so I know ze answer.

Look thats nothing getting him cut down would make him a stronger cause

hey guys sorry for being away so long

Teal Legion, Belphegor? that has quite a ring to it...

I'm painting mine with a metalic blueish tint, they worship Tzeentch. Oh and Abaddon isn't ashamed of letting Horus die, he's ashamed of Horus, here's a quote:

"Horus was weak. Horus was a fool. He had the whole galaxy within his grasp and he let it slip away." - Abaddon the Despoiler

QFT

And here's why:

Chaos Guys "Alright! we're about to break through!!! Warmaster! What are your orders?!.... Warmaster?... wait... say that again?!... HE DID WHAT?!'

"AW you stupid mothering head! Why the would you lower your ing shields, allowing the strongest ing person in the ing galaxy to teleport his golden on board your ing command ship so that he can kill your ?!"

"That's it, screw you guys, I'm going home.... !!!"

The whole paint of the black legion is making your army easy to paint. It's all in primer for god's sake! SO EASY!

cmon guys your missing the obvious, they are all goths at heart anyways. they got that depech mode crap just blasting in the rhinos. they paint it black.... to show the universe.... how black their hearts are *tear*

No, I actually believe you might not be thinking when you type this stuff.

No they're blasting Slayer because Chaos is metal. They are angry (not depressed) and therefore metal.

They paint their armor black so they can revel in the eternal shame that is their denial of their love of turtles.

I suppose we're going to derail this thread too then, 'Eadhunta?

But why would anyone deny the love of turtles, pie or turtle pie?

Ha, I just got back from the turtle pie blog, and I couldn't pass up the chance in being in all of the derailed threads.

Well Arihiman started this one too. IT MUST BE DERAILED.

All who walk in the light of turtle pie shall be saved, as the prophets of his coming, St. 'Eadhunta, St. mekboy, and St. Yams have proclaimed. In a world filled with corruption and darkness, those that turn to turtle pie shall find salvation, while those who shun it's deliciousness will be damned to an eternity of non-turtely pie-ness.

Cast off your false gods! And follow the light of turtle pie, in it's everlasting glory.

The turtle pie protects,

Ahm (chew chew chew)

I'm a saint? Yay! Turtle pie for all!

I'm a prophet?

...I mean...of course I am...er...

THE　ＰＲＯＰＨＥＴ　HAS　ＳＰＯＫＥＮ

I, lowly acolyte of the Church of the Children of Turtle Pie, shall bask in the glory of St. 'Eadhunta, St. mekboy, and St. Yams, and worship under the divine preachings of Chaplain Shrike, and shall righteously call Ancient Ferrum Testes to Blast any unholy scum who naysay them.

Anyone else considering putting a rank in the church of the turtle/pie into their signature?
