@@steffanyschwartz7801 I think Sanginius coming back would be awesome but it’s not possible at the moment with what we know abt the primarchs. Sanguinius and Ferrus Manus are both capable of being revived, but only if the emperor himself had the ability to craft him a new body and shit. It isn’t like guilleman being revived after Morty gave him magic AIDS, Sangy has no body to hold his spirit and if the lore is to be trusted, has had his soul shattered in a Similar way to Magnus. Parts of him exist in different places and unless they could all be gathered, any attempt to bring him back would only end with a semi whole primarch. He also has his own thing going with the Angels of Baal, the Sanginour and Mephiston. Sanguinius will return eventually but I think he will become a warp deity similar to how the emperor is starting to be. Imagine a warp angel whooping ass with Corvus in the warp, or guiding Lehman back from wherever the fuck he went. That would be just as dope as Sangy in the flesh in my opinion

[@PeachDragon_]

I mean, guilliman is the coolest primarch and the most developed that's for sure. He's so human, yet so divine, he understands his father and doesn't follow him because of blind loyalty but because he shares the emperor's vision, guilliman is the most incorruptible son not because of any superpower or because he's incredibly loyal, but because he inherited the will of the emperor, despite knowing that the emperor doesn't care about him as a son, at least not anymore. Arguably, guilliman and malcador are the only genuine servants of the emperor as a man, not a father nor a god. All the other loyalists are such because they followed their father, not because they themselves agreed with his vision, even the khan stayed loyal because it was logical, not because he believes in the emp's dream. Guilliman is in my opinion the son closes to the emperor himself, at least the emperor before he became a warp god.

[@dancohen3099]

Never before was I so disgusted by GW's math skills as when you said the crusade had only 1,000 ships. If I'm generous and go with an average of 150,000 personal per ship that means the entire crusade had just 150,000,000 naval personal. During WW2 the US navy had over 3,000,000 personal. You mean to tell me a galaxy spanning crusade only had 50-1 numerical advantage against WW2 US navy? I think GW forgot about 3-4 zeros when they wrote the number of ships in the crusade (at minimum).

[@danny123ynnad]

GW has always been amazing at making such a huge, galaxy spanning story seem so small and insignificant. the fact that theres only about 1 million space marines in total, means the most powerful and destructive army that the imperium has access to, in order to defend themselves against literal quadrillions of deamons, tyranids, orks, necrons etc, is smaller than the population of hawaii. Plot armour is the only thing stopping the imperium from being completely wiped out in a matter of days. any one of the aforementioned armies could just wave spam the imperium until everyone is dead, without even noticing a loss in their own numbers. even if w40K only took place on earth 2021, Space marines would be incredibly rare, yet we are supposed to believe that they are the army defending humanity in every corner of the galaxy? BS

[@TheCyricson]

yea tbh 1000 ships would not be enough for an operation in a single solar system

[@legatusmatheus9815]

@@danny123ynnad The one million space marines i can understand, under GW's logic it's accurate that a literal handful of space marines (4-5) could effectively make a world under a more basic invasion (rebellion, xenos or just chaos cultists) capitulate very easily. + Astartes aren't protecting every corner of the Imperium, that's what the IG is for. They're there just to respond to threats that are properly suited for what are essentially demi-demi-gods (if that makes sense). Of course you shouldn't forget the Mechanicus' Titan Legions, Imperial Guard's Tempestus Scions nor the Inquisition's ability to fuck up, say a Necron or two.

[@Bobrob1597]

Something I would like to see in the future. Omegan's (or maybe it's Alpharius) resurrection and has a civil war vs Alpharius (or maybe Omegan). This way both sides could get an additional Primarch.

[@Meuduso1]

Oh fuck yeah with a model release where either both get their own model or you have a base where depending on how you build the Primarch you get Alpharius or Omegon or something

What could also be cool is a random alpha legionnaire says he is Alpharius or Omegon (maybe he's the real primarch, who knows?) and fights for the Imperium and that's what creates the rift in the legion.

[@venkelos6996]

I've been into 40k since about 2003, if my memory is good, so I remember the days when Matt Ward, our Spiritual Liege, was a big topic, and a fair problem. It just wasn't fun to be an Ultramarines fan, because everyone hated him, them, and more. You could mention how it was just making the Vanilla Marines more like the f-ing Space Wolves, the Blood Angels, or any other "chapter" that was so Mary Sue they earned their own special codex, filled with gear no other group could use, which they used in battles they never lost, but it didn't matter; that wad Space Wolves/Blood Angels territory, and the Ultramarines needed to remember their place, as just another chapter among the SM codex, and the ones you picked because you didn't know how you wanted to play. Where I'm going with this fanboy whine is Guilliman. For so long, he was just a meme; the Primarch who wasn't special, who every player hated, unless they were Wardian sycophants, and he was arrogant, yada yada yada. I'm really glad that, in my opinion, at least, since his return, GW has actually handled Guilliman pretty well. He's NOT arrogant, or a double. He can have trouble working with others who lack his abilities, or experience, but he's stayed pretty humble, and a good leader. He's not just a wank fest for Ultramarines players, but he's not just anyone, either. For a demigod, he's even somewhat relatable, or at least he knows how to wear that face well. He's a power players can use, and field, but he's not an auto-include, and even in lore, he's important, but he's not completely overshadowing. I'm looking forward to Lion el'Jonson, Lemans Russ, or Jagahti Khan returning, if even just to give Guilliman a leg up, and someone else to handle Nihilus, but I'm glad Guilliman came back first, and that GW gas handled him as well as they have.

[@sim.frischh9781]

In Japan, "hentai" has actually a lot of meanings, the meaning "pervert" being merely one of them. This is used as a comedic element especially in the One Piece franchise with the character Franky. But if you are asking about erotic stuff, the term "ecchi" would be more commonly used as far as i know, sounding like the english term "edgy". It means indecend, lewd. Porn books are often refered to as "ero hon", from "erotic" and "hon" meaning "book".

[@thinkinyblinko6666]

Well outside of Japan the term has come to mean "animated/drawn pornography" and so that meaning takes precedence unless you're in Japan. The way language evolves disregards tradition or origin and instead concedes to consensus when it comes to meaning.

Same goes for the Xenos, realising that nobody could handle this threat on his own. Uhhhh Booooii another great Herersy Time.

After all it is already implied that the nids may have been defeated in another galaxy. Besides, the Necrons in full strength are basically billions of individual gods.

Guilliman says “you’re fucking right, mate. Chaplain, get me my cheek clapping gloves, we’re going in dry…” Guillimans flagship bursts through the blockade with the help of many grey knight, Custodes & SoB thunder hawks, many are lost. Guilliman crash lands on the planet, Khornite daemons flood over the craft and are obliterated by Dark Angel & Salamander bombardments, Guilliman comes out fucking YOLO swinging daddies sword like a fucking maniac All other forces push through the blockade once word of Guillimans successful landing occurs and flood the planet with flame and bolter fire. Guilliman makes a run for an altar where they plan on summoning 4 chaos undivided greater daemons. He’s taking names of word bearers, smashing the skulls of world eaters and outright anally raping the thousand sons sorcerers but it’s too late, multiple greater daemons accost him wielding massive axes or shooting various spells of malice against him. He’s on the back foot. He wounds Kabandha and breaks his wings, flinging him at another daemon but Kairos gets him with a time warping spell but wait, Chapter masters of both the Custodes and SoB come to his aid fucking daemons up left right and Center. The fight is on! On the ground millions of guardsmen and soldiers of Krieg are bogging the chaos forces down with their limitless corpses whilst primaris marines gun them down from above by virtue of their new and improved jump packs.
