Ok i am going back and re-reading my old 40k history and recalling why i like the game and wanted to start playing. SO with that said I have nto read any updated history and was wondering in any new old history was out there? Mainly on the 2 unknown Primarchs. I know the short story "The Lighting Tower" talked very little about them but anything else out there about them?

Not really.

The whole point of the "Unknown Primarchs" is that they're unknown. They're meant to be a goal for people who can really, really, really write something effective.

Unless you haven't read anything for about 15 years then the basic story is the same.

In a surprise upset, the Space Wolves beat the Dark Angels for best preserves at the Terran County Fair one year.

That was a massive plot twist GW pulled out there...

True, but that was likely due to the fallout from the "Midgetgate" scandel.

the Interrogator chaplian's soiled Dress was such a compelling piece of evidence too.

I wouldn't be able to microwave a Pizza after going through that.

I was frankly shocked that the Alpha Legion were behind the whole thing...

What's really compelling is the implied source of the recipe used to win: the Inquisition. Is GW hinting that the Wolves and Inquisition might be patching things up?

Well we can see what happens...
I was surprised at Abaddon's reaction to the demand for surrender when he arrived at the show...

I honestly don't know why Abbaddon keeps entering.

He doesn't seem to realize that his pickled kumquats arn't any good.

His Kidney Pies are ok, but Dante's Blood Orange Tarts are steller and as such he really has no hope.

Well next year is his 13th try so maybe that will turn out better.

You may be right here, though not explicitly stated by GW it has been implied that next years judges are big fans of citrus and vinegar...and perhaps influenced by chaos...But its mostly b/c of the former. Though you would have to be tempted by chaos to still not pick Dante's tarts, b/c as Grey Templar said they are to die for.

Funny, we've refered to the Sanguinary Guard as 'Dantes' tarts' for a while now.

...and had no idea he could bake, go figure.

Perfection in all things is what the BAs strive for and that applies to home economics.


the main reason the BAs beat the DAs is that the BAs are genuine in their feelings.

the DAs are in it for the mystique and just like to think no one knows, but, the sad truth is, everyone knows about the dresses, naked water polo, and the dancing midgets. even sadder, the DAs really don't want all those things. its all peer pressure.

*adjusts spectacles and puffs on pipe*

I see what you mean here, and your assessment is quite astute, but I diverge from your idea at a point.

Perhaps, in addition, it was the fondness for 'something new' that set the Dark Angel Fallen down the path of Chaos Bakery. Dabblers for sure, but far enough down the path of the forbidden culinary arts that certain ethical questions were raised and a schism occured. Once the pandoras box of recipes was opened the whole gamut of deviant behavior became a matter of 'course'. It is quite clear that noveau cuisine can readily lead to interest in the prancing of the vertically challenged and transvesticism. Clearly a flaw the DA have tried to hide for millenia now.

Perhaps,

that could explain Cypher's quest.

he is trying to get to Terra and expose these facts to the high council.

the DAs would then be disqualified from entering all future competitions naturally.

it is suspected he is taking kickbacks from the Alpha Legion and it is known he has been selling them recipies.

Personally, I suspect that the Lords of Terra, who, interestingly enough, all descend from 20th century French masters of Haute Cuisine, will recommend sanction agianst these culinary upstarts. A crusade may well be in order and, failing that, complete Kitchen Exterminatus.

Better that a million Pizzas be destroyed then a single blood sausage live I should think.

No no no calling a crusade will only make the DA's action look cool and exotic b/c its forbidden. Like the apple for Eve, Soda for Mormons, or birthday cake for Jehovah Witnesses. If anything they need to continue to let them use their chaotic cooking methods and put them in last place every year. That way no one will want to use it b/c they will think cooking with the dark arts will let to terrible recipes and last place, then everything will be a ok...until a nosy incqusitioner finds out, and discovers that the terra lords actually like and enjoy all of the DA cooking, paying them under the table to feast on it!...and thats how the writers of the horus heresy series will begin their next novel

This thread is gold.

Anyone know how Creed's entry did last year? I keep hearing he's a Culinary Genius, and people certainly scream his name when they lose; but I've seen no proof of his Genius.

Bottom Line: Is Creed's Cadian Cake a lie?

I haven't tried his Cadian Cake, but his flapjack is pretty good, if a little too sweet.

I tried some last year at the Cadian 8th's Regimental Bake Sale. They were trying to raise money for laser eye surgery to correct their chaotically mutated purple eyes. Its not good for recruitment drives you know, for such stalwart defenders of the Imperium to have mutations.

That was a while ago now though, so maybe his baking has improved.

LOL...this thread is full of win

Poor OP, his thread turned into a bakesale debate lol

Yes, interesting quote by the Grey Knights, but they haven't been invited back to judge the fair since that incident with the Sisters of Battle last year.

By the by, I am unfamiliar with the living blood sausage is that is was something of Slanneshi origin?

The recipie was discovered by a STC reclamation force and was found to be tainted.

however, an Alpha Legion strike force was able to capture it before it could be destroyed.



Creed's Cake is great and he usually wins in his own catagory, but after his elevation to chief baking judge he naturally isn't allowed to enter baked goods anymore.

They were able to raise enough money though and there are now 5 clinics for corrective surgery.

I'm appalled by this thread's lack of spoiler tags. This has ruined scores of books from the Bake Library back catalogue for me. Thanks a bunch.

.. I think we're perhaps a bit too OT now.
