An Ultramarine Terminator Takes on The Word Bearers | Warhammer 40,000 Short Story

Something to appreciate with the writing here is that being stuck in an armoured coffin while a literal mob of soldiers fruitlessly try to penetrate your armor has happened many times in history. In the medieval era, a knight's armor was basically impenetrable for a very long time. So most would be incapacitated, captured and held for ransom to fund the war effort. But sometimes foot soldiers had enough and would disregard orders to spare a particularly brutal knight. Because they didn't have weapons that could penetrate the suit or sufficiently heavy blunt weapons like warhammers, they'd just stab, stomp and do what ever they could. There's an account of a nobleman who was stuck in a mud bank and was killed over the course of hours by footmen. You aren't going to just get them to take a step back and undo some buckles or lift the face plate for a quick kill. Its almost akin to mass hysteria.
