Rowboat Girlyman, where do you come up with that stuff? It's like comedic fething gold! You should be on Letterman. Let me call HBO so you can do a standup special. The world must know of your genius.

Whats wrong with Sanguinius? Hes the only primarch that isn't a tool, a douche, or an idiot

You just think that now. Wait till Matt Ward's HH book on him comes out.


...


They wouldn't actually let him, though, would they? Heh...

Sanguinius is just kind of boring, and it doesn't help EVERYONE plays Blood Angels. I also hate the BA's colors, probably just cuz so many people are like hurdur scab red + blood red = done.

I see what you mean, I don't like Blood Angels that much, but I like Sanguinius a lot. With the Blood Angels they just tried too much, they tried tragic heroes, vampires, and pretty boys at the same time and it didn't come out too well

Vulkan. I just finished the Tome of Fire Trilogy and i loved it. And because Vulkan He'stan is my favorite SM model

I'm going to start pre-heresy Salamanders soon, it will be legendary

Any chance I can get some sources on Vulkan? All I got from here was that he and Ferrus were totally buff and he flipped tanks with out even thinking about it.

Also in before bumping a dead thread :S
Thanks guys.

The only thing I can think of is the Age of Darkness short story where he goes Hulk mode and tosses tanks around with his teeth and other such shenannigans

Thanks Squig. Also, your Pre-Heresy Sallies army idea, should be pretty cool. I've just decided to start a Sallies army up too. Post-heresy though.

Anyway back to the topic, what is the general opinion on the Horus Heresy book series?

Sanguinius=twilight sparkle
Girlyman= fail
Dorn= wishes he was Perturbo
Most the loyalist primarchs were fails..

Either Vulkan or Leman Russ. Either space blacksmith or space viking.

Thank you, i hope you like them when I do start. And almost all of the ones I have read have been fantastic, there are a few short stories in a few of the collections, but other than that I liked them. Except Fulgrim, that one was just weird as all hell. If your looking for a good one to start with I would say Nemesis. It shows the overall plot very well and has an excellent sub plot of its own. Unless you're a fan of a particular legion, then you should start with that legions book/books if they have any yet

Aye. Fulgrim was a rather...odd novel.
Anyone reading will know the scene I'm referring to.
Yes, it's THAT one.
With the ambassador.
And the painting.

Out of context, that sounds horrifically disturbing.
The frightening thing is that it's much worse IN context.

Gotta be my man Mortarion!

Only with Fulgrim

Perturabo: He is my favourite, as anybody who turns planets and star systems into fotresses and makes citadels that hangs of of the ceiling of a fething massive cave can truly only be a real boss. I also like the idea that he built his daemon world to look like his home planet, but in steel. Hows that for nostalgia.... But pre-heresy wise, I feel sorry for him, as the unloved child is a role I play frequently....

Ferrus Manus: Man man man, manly man man man etc etc. I liked it that he led his legion on a hell-for-leather charge into the ranks of the traitors at Isstvaan to help the other loyalists out. But, I think his incredible manliness was his downfall, as somebody that powerful always gets smacked down as the script demands.

Vulkan: DUAL WIELD THUNDER HAMMERS aside, I think that VUlkan making sure every member of his legion had the technological aptitude of a techmarine truly awesome.

Dorn: "Liking the Palace gate?"
"'Naw, but wouldn't it look cooler if it was covered in adamantium and guns?"

Kurze: Kurze. Need I say more?

Bahahahahahahahah, dorn with the adamantium and guns, hahahahaha

I went ahead and read Age of Darkness.
I really enjoyed that book. Thanks for the heads up on that one. I particularly enjoyed the story about the Ultramarine and the Salamander with the artificer. I hadn't read much about the history of the Sallies, past the little tid bits in the SM codex and the Armageddon codex, about how they value human live equally as their own. The salamander's sacrifice (I can't remember his name, nor have the book nearby) to save the questioner dude, really struck chords in me.

Was truly a noble sacrifice.

That was one of my favorites too, I didn't like the Alpha Legion one, but I think that was the only one in that book

Luna Wolves, Sons of Horus, call them what you want but they were awesome. Russ is the greatest though

It was certainly a good depiction of his fall.

And excessively creepy to boot

I love tradition. I did it at 1000, I did it at 1500, and I'm doing it at 2000. This post is to commemorate me and my not liking Lorgar. He is a gigantic daemonic bitch, who spends all his time locked up in a tower, wearing a dress

So you like Sanguinius the most?

Who doesn't like Sanguinius the most?
