After reading the latest issue of White Dwarf, does anyone else get the impression that they've pulled a "darth vader" on Roboute? They keep making references to his "critical life support systems" in his power armor. The the only thing keeping him alive his armor? I have this sinking feeling that they will toss some kind of twist into his resurrection, like he's only going to live because of some kind of mechanicum life support suit tech? How long before someone figures it out and uses it as a 'kill switch' to turn grandpa blue off again?

Sounds like a half decent idea for some threat and character nuance to me

Oh, and I've come up with a semi-expanded Shadow War idea and need some feedback! https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/726439.page

Yet they have ion cannons that can disable a star destroyer....

Not hating on Star Wars (too much, throne knows we have more idiotic situations in 40k), but I always saw Vader as a terrifying general, not the one-man army everything seems to think he is.

If you allow yourself to be killed and ingested, your soul is forfeited.

That's how he was portrayed in the original movies. However the new comics from Disney do indeed have him as capable of taking out armies. Including air support. I find it a bit much.
