Well, you know how it goes. A given principle works until it gets eaten by Tyranids.
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

I like how the Word Bearers have no votes and the World Eaters only have 2. Just seems funny to me. Obviously Word Bearers is worst Legion.

It's cause their Primarch is a little bitch.
I'm not sure your average Alpha Legion Astartes has any idea if they are still loyal to the emprah or not.The Imperial Reach wrote:I find the theory that the Alpha Legion is still loyal to the Emperor to be a fascinating one, as such they are very much my favorite Traitor Legion.

Probably not, but the idea that at least most of them are is interesting to me.Baltenstein wrote:
I liked Dan Abnett's "Legion" as a novel, but as a piece of fluff it's a headache that's best left ignored.
How so?

People try it every now and again, but they always die a few pages in. I'd jump at the chance, but I always seem to miss them when they do show up.Baltenstein wrote:

So the problem here is that you're looking at it just as a plot device when in reality I really do think the Cabal was a business decision. The Cabal created a solid end state for the universe, Chaos has to win for Chaos to lose, but GW can't let that happen or there wouldn't be a game. So now GW has a plot, they can point to the Cabal and say "see, a plot, an ending." and that helps mitigate the folks who gripe about GW never advancing the plot, but they can't advance the plot in that direction because everyone would riot.
It's not actually supposed to happen, get what I mean? It's just supposed to exist so GW can say it exists.

That includes myself to some degree. I jumped in a little while after The Force Awakens was released and felt bothered by how unfeeling Star Wars appears now. By contrast, Warhammer 40K is unapologetic and over-the-top, which makes it fun.

If they don't want to advance the plot then why does it seem like Roboute Guilliman is about ready to save the whole damn Imperium? Guy's not only been brought back from the dead, but he's been named Lord Commander (again?), allegedly learned "everything [he] needs to" from the Emperor, started several new crusades, and unleashed a new breed of Space Marines. That's not even to mention that it was partly the efforts of an Elder god that brought him back, either. Seems like the calm before a massive storm is brewing.
Unless this is all just fake-hype to increase sales.

The forty-first millennium is home to the cynical, the jaded, the callous, and the despairing. Its fans especially show disappointment and cynicism towards the franchise.
