Wow just read through 7 pages of Heresy!

Wyzilla, the point of the story wasn't that Alicia killed Vandire.

The point of the story was that the Space Marines couldn't break through the palace defences... and it has nothing to do with void shields, because that kind of void shield, you can literally walk through, they only protect against high-velocity weapon attacks.

Which means that the Space Marines couldn't defeat an entrenched force of Brides.

Uh, you do realize that void shields vary completely and there are indeed types of void shields that completely halt movement of any object, no matter how slow?

Vandire had actually let a great deal of the defenses of the Ecclesiarchal Palace fall into ruin. A great many of Vandire's own troops betrayed him, and were found and executed as heretics. The Astartes and Mechanicus had penetrated the defenses enough to contact the Custodes, who were the ones to convince the Sisters of Battle to finish Vandire off and end the Age of Apostasy.

Solar Macharius was neither marine nor bride. Just 110% badass.

Suck on that one, mutants.

Has anyone else noted that our Fuhrer OP has not been present for some time?
Perhaps he is planning the rise of his fourth Riech with Space Marines

Uh, the Brides were ordinary humans too.

Which, given this, this and this, it's probably a gay bar filled with burly cosplayers.
Remember, everyone's "beneath" the Space Marine!

On a sidenote, I'm pretty sure the Codex Astartes does not support this action.

On the other hand, she wrote several poems about the women she loved, including several outright pornographic ones..

She didn't. We have very little of what Sappho wrote; most of it is fragmentary, one is a poem written to a woman (which does not mean that it was actually written from Sappho's point of view or that it was sexual love), and none of it is pornographic as far as I can recollect. There is little (no?) evidence that she was a lesbian except in the sense of being from Lesbos.

In this she is like most ancient writers in that we know very little about her. Our "knowledge" is gossip, like our "knowledge" that Heraclitus died in a mound of dung or Empedcles threw himself into a volcano..o

Not meaning to make this into a thread about Greek lit.

That was what I had read but thought I had missed some bits and pieces somewhere. Wierd how a thread on Space Marine superiroity ends up with discussions on homesexuality oh wait.........

Well after reading through now 8 pages( ) I have come to the only logical conclusion:
Someone needs to make a space marine michael jackson pic so that I can be superior while I sit here and read the comments!

That is all.

Then clearly you must do both!

So THAT'S where that comes from. I always wondered about that.

I literally have a little black Penguin book of Sappho's poems, which include one about how she wants to eat out Helen of Troy. So don't give me some crap about how it's maybe not true because we don't have real evidence.

Yeah... I mean, lesbian erotica is referred to as "Sapphic fiction" for a reason. There's no serious doubt as to which team she played for.
