  1. The Edict of Nikaea is why I despise the Space Wolves "Wah wah. Psykers are bad!"
    "What about your Wolfpriests?"
    "Oh…um…..well, they're not psykers, they're priests."
    So if Magnus renames his psykers as priests, we're all good, right?

  2. (spoilers Echoes of Eternity and Fury of Magnus)

    The disjunction between the narrative in Fury of Magnus and Echoes of Eternity has been rattling round in my head recently… I don't get how what was said on the bridge can be true and what happened at the regicide table can also be true… Which begs the question of how much of what Magnus believes was true and how much of what the Emperor made Vulkan believe was true (I can't believe that Vulkan wasn't being puppeted)…

  3. I felt magus was unfairly manipulated & judged in the beginning but after he was pieced back together by his loyal son’s my opinion changed!! He proved himself to be petty, cruel, wickedly arrogant & downright evil. His actions in the late heresy to the siege & the ten millennia since he’s shown his true colours.

  4. Too bad magnus has been turned into a cartoon villain by gw, goes to take revenge on fenris fails, gets outsmarted by a furry named lukas really? That dumbass outsmarting a primarch and his god tzeencth no less ? Then magnus attacks bobby g and gets spanked again

  5. Chalk it up to his portrayal in TTS, but Magnus is definitely my favorite of the Traitor Primarchs. His story is definitely a tragic one and one couldn't help but wonder if there was something he could have done differently that would not have forced him to side with Horus during the Heresy

  6. Lied to by the Emperor, bullied by his brothers and tricked by Tzeentch, Magnus was given a bum hand to deal with in life. Both him and Angron are just tragic figures that deserved better.
