>Yet if I am making this sound easy, I am doing a disservice to the slayer’s craft. Most of these undertakings are monumental. Many are impossible without a coven of allies and apprentices, both of which I have used in abundance across the millennia. Sometimes, however, I work alone, and those sorcerers capable of such feats must be psykers of immense strength. I do not say this lightly. My reputation among the Nine Legions has been hard earned, and there are precious few sorcerers able to match me in might. Most of those that can tend to waste their talents in the unreliable impracticalities of precognition and prophecy. A tragic waste. Some say the best blades are those that are never drawn, and there is wisdom in such a philosophy. But power must be wielded, tested and trained, lest it wither on the vine.

>You have heard me speak of Ahriman before. I know you know his name, from his many predations upon the Imperium. My brother, my naïve but most admirably honest brother, Ahzek Ahriman once told me that he alone among the Nine Legions stood above me in talent with the Art. It was typical of his habit for blending humility with arrogance, to say nothing of manipulation.

>I cannot speak for the veracity of his words. In the long years of my life, while almost all of my sorcerous rivals lie dead, a few of them came close to killing me. There are others whom I would never wish to face, and still others that carry reputations equal to, or greater than, mine.


I swear to God, why can't ADB make his characters average? I like how he writes, I really do, but his snowflake complex is gettint really annoying, almost on par with Abnett's.

Describe the most interesting NPC you have ever seen in a game, recent or otherwise. You cannot have been the GM of the game, and you cannot have had too great a say in the NPC's details.

I truly appreciate how one of my GMs portrays a certain NPC. She is a wolfgirl (not the one in the picture, who is not even my character) queen regnant of a great and highly advanced nation. Although the kingdom has power and prosperity, its politics are extremely cutthroat. This wolf was born with an unusual mental illnesses that stripped her of all empathy and compassionate emotions, yet left her ability to understand and intuit such things untouched. It was through this innate ruthlessness that she performed many a technically-legal misdeed to rise to the throne, and then performed many more gruesome deeds to stabilize the kingdom under her iron grip.

There is one thing she was always insecure about, however. She was prognosticated to apotheosize into a demigodly figure gifted with world-shaking superpowers. That day never came for her.

Instead, the day came for her only child, my character. Once the crown heir manifested such abilities and began to shower blessings upon the world, the queen grew deeply conflicted between pride and joy for her child, and jealousy and resentment over how her offspring "stole" the power and glory that was meant for herself. Worse, her own child is becoming more popular with and important to the people than the queen herself.

One of the child's many deific gifts was the ability to purge all mental illnesses with a glance, but this did not include any confirmation that the target had any mental illnesses to begin with. Thus, the crown heir unwittingly cured the queen of her lack of empathy and compassionate emotions. At the time, I was completely unaware that my character had cured anything substantial from the queen, let alone something so major.

(Continued.)

Mechanicum Girls edition
Knight Beauty Contest subedition

Orks infiltrated the motorbike industry, Primarchs are forbidden helmets, Magnus got revenge for Nikea and the Imperator Walks without rubber soles. Fulgrim showed Ferrus his dance moves and Lorgar and Angron continued to be bros. Space Marines have even less tanks than dudes and DGanon diversified into Kakophoni. A Mechdel test was proposed and the First Legion can't sustain casualties of this magnitude. Skitarii lost their driving licence and we should all switch to renewable Daemon Engine power.
