Ahh okay i was just using "master of mankind" books prologue as a viewpoint. When Magnus described it as "- Sirens, sirens howled on and on. Warriors of the ten thousands clad in gold and ringing their king, shouted and fired skywards. their incendiary rounds dissolved within his towering form. Their rage coming to nothing, even the custodiands did not know him. But he knew them by name. There was Constantine Valdor, There was Ra Indimian, there was Eimon Taramagian. And yet they leveled their spears at him and opened fire."

Aye, that's entirely fair. I have a very love/hate relationship with Master of Mankind as a book (Zaphon and Land make it for me). Thousand Sons is nicely cleaner in a way, less that has to be adhered too which means less problems even if I'm constrained by a lot less going forward. Part of the reason I picked it is it's nice and open
Weirdly, Thousand Sons mentions that the only real weapons were the automated systems literally referred to as 'Gunboxes' that spooled up and then just kinda, well did nothing as he pulled himself through the portal and blew out most of the machines. The custodes were also just 'custodian guard', Valdor was mentioned quite a few times in the text, but pointedly, not there. Not that it will have much of a difference. He'll be getting his due later on.

Yea its not one of the best books, Thou Arkhan Land was too my favorite with that blood angel captain. In that book it described The Emperor as kinda of a ass. I mean like that time when emperor is like " Hey Ra do you remember all the good things i told you about humanity and its potential future?
Ra: Yea?
Emperor: Good ( impales him with a demon sword)
Me: WTF man?

Oh man, don't I know it. ADB is a pretty good author but Master of Mankind is very much that genesis of the Emperor flitting with a personality of a tone-deaf sociopath. I mean, some of the earlier excerpts even from Rogue Trader weren't exactly nice (he is a warlord) but Master of Mankind had a few very distinct moments that got a brow raise. What's utterly bizarre to me is that he did a great job with likeable Custodes in First Heretic, but the custodian guard of the palace and Tribunes all seem to be completely unsympathetic.
Though it does lead to Captain Zephon and Diocletian dealing with the refugee child. And after possibly the most human and, frankly, cozy interaction of most of the series, we get:
Zephon: "You said I disappointed you when we first met, Custodian?"
Diocletian: "Yes."
Zephon: "Rest assured, the feeling's mutual."

There's no 'kinda' about it. The Emperor's just an ass. ( Insert Heresy comments here )

Yea, but in that book he is more than usual.
By the way did you get your orks on christmas ?

Yeah, but alas I had to endure a working holiday and couldn't find time to fiddle with them. It'll be after I graduate from my Trade School before I can find time. But I also got my mother Eldar Guardians and my step-father Tau Pathfinders and I finished Konrad Curze's Primarch book and am a fourth of the way through Jaghatai's.
Luna seems .... different... I think Horus has rubbed off on her a lot more since we last saw her... glory to unintended mental influences caused by smooch induced symbiotic links otherwise known as UMICSISL

Oooooh maaaaaybe, Diclonius my dude, maaaybe. Lets just say some external parties have recently been made aware of circumstances which were previously unconsidered and, as all corporate entities do, have to perform their due diligence *. You definitely are right when it comes to the Emps... while he has moments of really self-aware dialogue, and even some moments of true greatness (The Board is Set comes to mind as one of my favourites) Master of Mankind along with The Last Church really ratcheted up that 'The Emperor is a total jackass' sentiment.
Congrats on the Orks (and trade school too for that matter, a Uni degree has been... a piece of paper for me, -laughs- but personally worthwhile). Might be a bit of a race to see if I can get some of 'em finished first. Though I've got a legion's worth of marines to do before then.

FADM Nova my dude, I may have to put that down in my lexicon, it's kinda a too-perfect acronym that feels like the topic of a Princess Twiggles thesis paper. And, well, nicely caught -smirks- the Lupercal is one to make an impression after all.
*short answer, yeeeeeeezz.
Ow shit this is going to be good. Also Moondancer is mvp of this chapter dam I love her in this series so much and then we have bacon horse my fav food colored horse. But yeah together there awesome and may be the only chance Luna has not to go over board like it looks she may be.
