Since The Ecclesiarchy's Reason For Creating Sororitas Was The Fact That They Were Forbidden From Having

working on modelling a battle barge for my homebrew Space Marine chapter, the Emerald Wings.

(Yes, this blog is named after them)

Nukes aren't Dark Age tech, anyone with a decent enough understanding of physics and uranium (or plutonium) could make one.

One amusing constant inconsistency in Warhammer literature is this.

The nuke.

From the dark age if tech, the blast radius of a nuke varies from authour to authour.

I have seen them damn a world to nuclear winter.

I have seen just one level a hive city.

I have also seen just one gut an Imperial fleet.

No one can figure out how powerful of they are....

Also, for a bit of dark age tech that no one can replicate.... There is a lot of nukes out there, like a lot, I thought dark age tech was meant to be insanely rare?

Wait, you're telling me that plate mail, which people were relying on to keep themselves alive, is well-designed? Inconceivable!

Warhammer has a very big issue with how it focuses on Space Marines and Space Marine-adjacent things (like primarchs).

Hot take:

The Primarchs are the least interesting characters in 30/40k. ppl centering them in the story as if most of them matter in the current setting vex me. 40k desperately needs good characters that aren't just "huge buff man". idk. maybe it's part of my horrible man-hating dyke agenda of decentering men from things I enjoy, but like... they're just a bunch of huge men who are Blessed God-Sons of the Fascist Guy. there's plenty of more interesting and obscure characters. Primarchs are just so basic

Silly, bots are.

If you ever meet someone on the internet claiming they're from the USA, watch out because they're most likely an AI bot. nobody in the US can afford an internet connection (because they're so poor) and even if they could their schools are so underfunded they couldn't even know how to use the internet

Do it.

I think the reason why I dislike Guillivraine so much is because of the fact that, imo, the majority of the shippers don't really take the ship seriously themselves. Jokes about ships are fine and cool, but that's literally all I see about the ship. Not two people carrying the burden of trying to save their respective races from certain doom and feeling understood by the other. Not two people haunted and traumatized by their respective pasts. Not all the nuances and difficulties that would happen in the case of Human x Eldar relationship: diplomatic, platonic and especially romantic.

But nope. Its quite literally just a xenophilia joke to even the shippers themselves. I don't mind xenophilia jokes about human x alien relationships in 40k, but not when it's... just everything there is to the pair.

He is one of many characters that gets reduced to a joke in meme lore.

Hell, I'm not even sure if this one is entirely TTS's fault, too. He's pretty menacing there if you think about it for a nonzero amount of time.

Lucius is no girlfail at all

I have reposted the girlfail-post, because it's fun and I got a laugh out of it, but my more earnest opinion is: Lucius is incredibly successful.

Some of his accomplishments without any claim to completeness:

Beating the Mournival in consecutive duels (Loken cheated by Emperor's Children-standards, so fuck him)

He's made Captain in a perfectionist Legion of Aristocrats, despite hailing from gladiatorial pits.

He made Palatine Blade - elite of the elite

He organized a coup against Fulgrim, because he wanted the demon out and survived (by staying mostly out of it, but that shows that he has a brain indeed)

He impressed Slaanesh enough to become his Champion.

He impressed Fulgrim enough the Primarch strongarmed Fabius into reviving Lucius.

He impressed Ahriman enough the Chief Librarian kept him as bodyguard/killer (and didn't betray him - a rare occurance with Ahriman).

He isn't the most social guy, yet he became leader of a rather successful warband.

He killed a Bloodthirster (with the help of his Raptors, but still!)

40k Fulgrim uses him as his personal hitman.

He had fun fighting and killing in Commorragh (he got asked to leave).

And that's just from the top of my head. Lucius is one of the most successful, ruthless Chaos Marines still in existence.

Military nerds be like "I can suspend my disbelief for psychic powers, artificial intelligence, brain uploading, telepathy headsets, railguns, and spider tanks, but I draw the line at effective tank armor and air defense."

The straight razor I ordered came in. Tomorrow morning I'm going to find out if it gives me a perfect shave or just gets my blood all over the shower.

Hopefully the former.
