Against a single Tower of Skulls? The scale of a Tower isn't very clear. I'd assume it could crush a baneblade under both the treads and the hull. But 300,000 somehow compressed into a handful of suits we're probably looking at the most embarrassing capsize in the history or armoured warfare.

Tends to be a problem with RPs in general.

Anyhows, got an idea for a Rogue Trader RP but set in the Sabbat Worlds.

I don't think they'll get Primaris Marines.

All of their recent-ish models, however (Thousand Sons, Death Guard, the three Black Legion in Blackstone Fortress) are all Primaris-sized.

It sounds ridiculous, but not entirely out of line for the grim darkness of the far future.

Well I finished reading Dark Imperium. It's a 4/5, with a good opening and ending. The middle got lax with some parts, but it was ultimately readable. Bolter porn here was minimal, and yes, Raukos was an advertisement, but it passed as a battle. A good read for anybody, but it certainly has some speed bumps.
That ending though. Good lord, was it sad.

Our friendly friends of Games Workshop are not exactly known for giving things away for free. You are going to have to buy a few dozen books, and be grateful for the experience.

What part of

did you not get?
Have you heard their theme song as commissioned by Games Workshop themselves??? How many Legions have had a legendary Death Metal band write their theme song WITH GW's approval. Debauchery is cool af though.

In all seriousness despite the World Eaters being my favorite legion they are without a doubt the worst both in design and writing. Let's not even talk about the abomination that is how Angron was written.
