At least Marauders finally got around to adding those suits. Kind of.

It helps that it never _was_ written, but is just internet hyperbole of what was actually said in the fluff blown out of all proportion.

Par for the course.

Except it was explicitly written in the previous codex. There are accounts of how ork tech does not work if not used by orks and how ork belief in the red colouration of their vehicles making them go faster. There is even an account of a tech priest opening an ork gun to find that it was a box filled with scrap metal with an ammunition bit shoved into a hole.

The Blood Ravens chapter from Dawn of War are implied to be a loyalist offshoot of the traitor Thousand Sons chapter. They were offworld when Russ arrived and so escaped the scouring of Prospero.

The (Void) Dragon is implied to be on Mars. The Mechanicus have chambers that they are forbidden to enter and one prophet spoke of the dragon of Mars. The Necrons have also made attempts to land in sections of Mars that are supposedly abandoned.

You beat me to it. I think the dragon fluff is hilarious from 5th edition. We can't forget that it's hinted that the dragon was worshipped as the great machine spirit before the emperor came to be worshipped.
