Warhammer 40k Fluff Thread VIII: "Khorne's Most Favourite Thread EVER"

[Wraith]

I'm one of the few who actually likes the Ultras, so more about papa smurf was welcome, though again, it shows up distinct difference in writing when one primarch is all "Teh oh noes, a couple of dudes with bolters!" and another one caber tosses a titan.

I want my Primarchs to be as to astartes as astartes are to you and me, making the impossible possible and kicking reason to the curb and just generally being awesome. Some humanising is great, it gives them a different side, a point of contrast to their all conquering, all awesome all the time side, but some of the novels have gone too far for my tastes.

Sounds like you wouldn't enjoy Descent of Angels. (I know I didn't...)
