  1. I suspect that since neither side had as many armor piercing bolter ammo nor developed anti astartes weapons/tactics, there was a far greater degree of sheer dismemberment and brute force killing. I can imagine instances of marines running out of their regular bolt ammo finding it ineffective and resorting to simply hacking and discourging enemy astartes to death with blades, rocks, or their own bare hands because they simply had no other way to do it.

  2. Imperial Scholars: Istvaan 3 was an atrocity!

    Also Imperial Scholars: Anyway, these troops have heroically fought off a daemonic invasion. The inquisition killed all 300 million of them and all 8 billion of the residents who survived, and this was a great victory for the Imperium.

  3. Loyalist Death Guard: "I am fortifying this position"
    Loyalist Emperor's Child: "We will defend this palace with supreme skill and valor"
    Loyalist Lunar Wolf: "We will ambush and kill them in the tunnels inside and under the Sirenhold"
    Loyalist World Eater: "Ahaha chainaxe go brr-chop-chop"

  4. I love the fact Angron buggered Horus’ plan by literally pulling a Leeroy Jenkins. The Red Angel isn’t my favourite Primarch but I’ll always love his blunt nature.

  5. I love how the legions forgot that loyalist Terrans piloted their vehicles (especially the Death Guard). It is a wonder that Horus's plans weren't skuppered entirely at the first obstacle. Brilliant as always Oculus. Can't wait for the next chapter!
