NEW 40K LORE! Chaos Spaces Marine!

[@LordCrate-du8zm]

I can't believe that the new 40k lore introduced the Chaos Spaces Marine. Truly, the lore update of all time.

Yeah, we all know the Lion just woke up when they were FIRST introduced…….

Thanks for relaying all this to us. I like how the authors now seem to realize we want updates on all these characters and the Black Crusade itself. It doesn't mean all of it will advance, but at least it doesn't leave it behind, like the war against the Tyranids.

[@SirFailsalot91]

Still waiting for more about all the clones that Fabius let go free on their own after deciding he wasn't going to keep transferring his consciousness between cloned bodies anymore during "Manflayer," especially since he's supposedly got a new body during "Genefather." Surely he'd be making far more progress by working with his clones to advance any research much faster than he would on his own, many hands make light work, but I guess we're supposed to just ignore those clones like we're supposed to ignore Clonegrim being stuck in Trayzn's museum (but we won't forget, we will never forget.)

[@zachar40k]

the clones are literally just an excuse to have him in any game

[@daddypudding9074]

This is why I love Abaddon. He is the the big bad leader of Chaos, the ultimate bad guy in the setting, the leader of the "villain" faction. But he doesn't worship it, he doesn't believe in it, he doesn't serve it, he simply uses it. So many villains are obsessed/ruled by their faction, Sephiroth and Jenova being a big example. But Abaddon full on couldn't care less for the victory of Chaos, he is merely for the defeat of the Emperor. And I find that really cool, especially with some of the most powerful beings in the setting worshiping chaos, and chaos itself being so corrupting, he has avoided being ruled by it, he still has his soul, his beliefs and his morals (what little he had left anyway). The dude was happy to use chaos worshipers in the billons in multiple black crusades. Because he had actual objectives, not just take Cadia. It also makes the Cadians even MORE beast, because when he full on INTENTIONALLY tried to take Cadia intact, he just couldn't. Its one of the many reasons Iron Warriors are my favourite legion too, anti Imperium but not pro chaos, its simply another resource. But yea, plenty of people go "no, its just plot armour and poor writing that he wasn't trying to take Cadia, he lost those crusades", not realising every major character has plot armour. Salamanders for example, get so much lore boost from friendship, and space wolves are just space vikings. But Abaddon's fake crusades are better writing than simply losing every single time, espeically when all he could do was destroy the planet, not take it. Also Huron is a good villain, but seriously overrated by the fandom, he's incredibly generic as a character, but there is only 2 things that actually make him stand out. The Badab war, and his position of Pirate lord, and even that part could work with any other generic character. Fabius Bile and Honsou are way more interesting personality wise, and have more to them than just their rank. Now I need Perturabo to come out as the face of Renegades faction, not beholden to Abaddon's idea of revenge, but most certainly using chaos as fuel and bringing down the Imperium.

[@cynicalpsycho5574]

Just because Aboddon says that doesn't make it so. He is straight up doing what chaos wants and his personal goals are completely irrelevant. He serves no purpose and has no end goal other than what chaos wants.

[@Kristian.B.Kristiansen]

I love how despite there being sooo many tales of characters from the traitor legions. We still have literally nothing to uniquely represent these characters on the tabletop. It specifically why I just defer to the mono god legions for something flavorfully unique.

[@lewiscowface]

It feels a bit weird to me that Vashtor has limitless control over every kind of technology, that would imply that he can end the Necrons in a snap! I wonder if GW have consider the consequences of giving Vasthor that power in this new narrative.

[@WitcherCrow]

Vashtorr can read Necron minds and whisper to them through the Warp and has corrupted a Necron Pylon recently.

[@carlstanford7607]

Probably not. They have made vashtor way too powerful. New GW lore is bad, rushed and ill considered. They don’t pay their staff properly

Would really like to see them do something extreme like having abbadon killed outright by Guilliman with the Emperor's sword. Having Huron Blackheart take over as warmaster.

[@Xynth25]

Huron wouldn't magically become the new Warmaster. None of the Primarchs respect him and he's not earned the Mark of each of the gods like Abaddon. He also doesn't care about prosecuting the Long War, which is a major part of CSM's identity. Huron would be one of many claimants.

[@paul80085]

Abaddon being killed would basically make the traitor legions massively less threatening and really kill off chaos as an enemy of the Imperium

[@m33ddyhv]

Perturabo shoukd be warmaster unless he isnt devoted to chaos at all which is what i would actually prefer more.

@@Kristian.B.Kristiansen read the whole fight. Calgar had to hold back, he couldn’t go all out or abaddon would flee. It was a trap to damage vengeful spirit.

[@Kristian.B.Kristiansen]

@@MariusGage It was a fight to lure Abaddon into, so the Eldar could try a desperate run the Spirit.

It'd be better if Chaos was being driven forward by the fallen Primarchs at this. It's a little hard to believe that Blabaddon's efforts are out maneuvering and out thinking both the Lion and Bobby G even if they're playing catch up. At least Vashtor makes solid sense as a threat

I figured out what the stipulation is with Warhammer in general. To start. Random tangent. But I don't think I was the only child that was not allowed to play "grand theft auto" as a child. Because of "the fear our young mind might try to replicate what it sees on the screens" hence the prevalence of ratings such as pg-13, rated R, E for everyone, M for mature to name a few. I'll get into the relevance this has With Warhammer give me a moment algorithms. Started slowing my typing process. Jesse artificial intelligence loosen up a bit. But this same reason people decided to shelter children from certain media outlets. Is the same stipulation gw and their representation of how the people affect the setting. The people as in the audience. From my understanding we are treated like H.P Lovecraft's observer. As in we are treated like a all protein power such as the warp or places where in universe deities live with the way we think and talk about the setting. More so talk, while thinking has a lot to do with what we discuss. When an alternative and a better simulated/ predictable trajectory of a longer lasting setting is if abbadon had some sort of plan for establishing a foot hold in deep space. Probably something to do with lock and key. And how a lock tends to represent the environment of our mental scapes. While the key is how we seamlessly traverse this landscape and alter/change it where ever and however we see fit to. Not to make ones own empire. But to give room for input by the wider spectrum of cultures and people out there. And how individuals such as myself can make such impacts. What I'm trying to say is. Like Austin Powers. Gw.(Aka dr.evil) And us mini gw(aka mini me) Because well we don't make much revenue off expanding such. While companies rake in profit after profit with our really any true idea of how it is happening besides speculation on what they have done and currently doing. It takes someone like me. Usually a boss not expectation or what media has represented of a boss. No. It just takes an individual to look and see how other individuals effect each other. And how separate one way of working is to another way of working. Even in active development team's. We all know that somebody who specializes in one specific thing. And excels at such. It's just how caught up in expanding these ways and getting them seen. When we only have two eyes that barley have 180 degree perception on the best of occasions. While most other times. Absolutely tunnelled in on whatever it is we are focused on. Cough cough golden statue space marine cough cough. But that's alright. Where only human. But when will we take notice? Because ultimately there are no problems with the story of Warhammer. Just problems with the way people receive things. Probably not really much to do with Warhammer. But more so with industry as a whole. As a good man once said. "Every one's THAT GUY. It just depends on how often and..." I forget the rest.
