I Like The Idea Of Dante Being A Perpetual. I Think Some Needless Cosmic Cruelty Really Ties Together

Literally that scene from Renegades: Harrowmaster

You're an Ad Mech wandering the halls of the ship at night. In a darkened part of the ship with low traffic, you hear something. Mournful and ghostly. You follow it to see if it's a servitor that got stuck.

You find a marine, crying in the corner. You dare to approach and see what is wrong.

It's Alpharius. He's upset because not even his own legion believes it's him when he tells them.

He could have realized that he's good enough. He could have come to terms with his need to be the best, instead of being consumed by it and spat out. He could have not lost his brother and best friend because of pride.

‘if only fulgrim didn’t pick up the sword he could have’ could have what. could have what. stayed under the oversight of a distant father figure? kept pressuring himself and his sons to be perfect and flawless all the time? been disposed of when he’d served his purpose? i hate you

As much as I do go on about how the Emperor's Children are a bunch of femboys, there is far more to them than that.

People tend to forget (in part due to how Slaanesh has been reduced to a sex addict) that the reason they fell in the first place was their obsession with being the best of the best. All the illicit experimentation began with that goal in mind.

They (and Fulgrim) wanted to be the best, and that blinded them to how good they actually were.

I swear, if I hear *one more person* simplify fulgrim to just "yassss queen slay" I am going to break something. He's such an interesting, tragic and relatable character and I wish people didn't simplify him to "haha pretty boy".

Bring back all the weird nerdy fandom participants who are being productive making fanworks and kick out all the ones that spend all day farming outrage

Not Mine. Thought to Share.

I love how, in any sane setting, the T'au would be The Villains, capital T capital V, but in 40k they're about the closest the setting gets to "good guys". They're an expansionist colonial empire that tries to force their ideology on everyone they meet and exterminates the people they deem incompatible with it, and somehow, because 40k is just that fucked up, they are one of the more reasonable factions in the galaxy.

The reboot gives him the ability to survive in hard vacuum, so no, you are not wrong.

The legend, the moment, the babygirl of all time (*/ω＼*)

Organization

Like other chapters, the Emerald Wings consist of ten companies of ten squads each. The first company is the veteran company, the second through fifth companies are the battle companies, and the sixth through ninth companies are the reserve companies. The tenth company, however, is a support company, instead of the scout company in codex-compliant chapters (the Emerald Wings' scouts instead serve alongside the reserve companies), made up of heavy support squads.

The veteran company is made up of five Vanguard veteran squads and five Sternguard veteran squads, all fully equipped with jump packs. The chapter generally does not use terminator armor, as it is not mobile enough for their preferred doctrines.

Each of the battle and reserve companies is made up of four tactical squads, four assault squads, and two devastator squads. All ten squads in each of the battle companies are fully equipped with jump packs, as well as between two and five squads from each reserve company. None of the devastator squads in the reserve company are equipped with jump packs.

The tenth company is made up of ten devastator squads. These squads are generally not equipped with jump packs, often being made up of marines who have become injured or slow and unable to fight as effectively with a jump pack.

The Emerald Wings' airwing is easily their biggest divergence from the Codex Astartes. Unlike other chapters, who draw their pilots and drivers from the reserve companies, each aircraft of the Emerald Wings has its own dedicated crew, who pilot that aircraft in all engagements.

The Emerald Wings Space Marine Chapter

Starting a lore dump on my homebrew chapter (Yes, the blog is named after them)

Founded in the Eighth Founding, the Emerald Wings were one of a few chapters created at the time to carry on the legacy of Sanguinius.

Since their founding, they have earned a reputation for a mastery of aerial warfare, making heavy use of aircraft, skimmers, and jump packs. Aircraft and jump packs in particular are central to the Emerald Wings' doctrines, to the point where they are the biggest points of divergence between the chapter and the Codex Astartes.

A mix of the fact that Russbis looking for some "tree of life" and the fact that GW often feels like it's doing everything it can to ignore xeno factions.

Ok gotta know where the fuck in the 40K community did this idea that specifically Leman Russ is gonna rescue Isha from Nurgle

Sauce for art.

A message to queer adults!!

Stop making queer kids feel like they're going to die. Spread information and help links, please, but never, NEVER make a kid need to experience such existential dread.

Tell them how to be safe, not what will happen if they aren't.

Help them proceed instead of explaining why they'll be pushed back.

Teach them how to survive, not how they could die.

Edit: okay, WOW this actually got some attention!!! Here’s some things I wanna clarify

I don’t like risks should be ignored

kids shouldn’t be shielded from knowledge of potential threats

AND KEEP YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES SAFE IF YOU CAN!!!!!!
