You forgot the part where they go full herohammer as the armies stop to watch Abaddon strangle Celestine half to death, before strangling Creed half to death before Saturday Morning Cartoon Villaining a monologue up until Celestine "I AM NO MAN"s him

>>51130272
So how did Creed die? I've seen reports saying he died and other people said he didn't.

>>51130827

I hope they have a tourney for it like they did Armageddon. I've been playing this game since Space Marines had checkerboard patterns on their greaves. I will fight and destroy every Chaos player on the planet one after another in 3k matches. There is no such thing as a Traitor Commander equal to me. If there was I would've found and lost to him years ago. The Guard will endure. We always endure.

>>51137604
>>51141808

Gaius was his personal name, Julius was his clan name and Caesar was his cognomen (sort of a hereditary nickname picking out particular line in the clan). Closest analogy would be to family name.

Caesar basically was a nickname that became a family name that became a title.

>>51143893
I'm pretty sure, "Imperator" is *High Gothic* for "Emporer", even if it's not Latin for Emperor.

We know that the Emperor initials things with a single upper-case "I" and organizations bearing his sigil use variants of that as their symbols.

(The "I" doesn't stand for "Inquisition")

>>51144608
>Crimson Path doesn't expand on its own

But none can halt it regardless.
Some come and face the might of the Legions, you are but more grist for the mill!

So. It's not like generic Imperium world #506 will provide much opposition. We'll probably be seeing Abaddon cutting through dozens if not hundreds of planets on his way to Terra.

I wanted them to advance the plot, just not in favor of the faction only autists play

>>51144608
If Cadia didn't hold, then world in the Imperium save Terra will hold.

The point of the Crimson Path is that Abaddon is going to have endless daemonic reinforments + the daemon Primarchs spawning behind him to back him up. The harder the Imperium fights against him the more they feed the Eye and hasten their own destruction.

So unless some more pylons are hidden somewhere or the Harlequin lady has some plot, then Abaddon will reach Terra in speedy manner.

You really cannot combine the new fluff and the old fluff. In the new fluff, she just appeared out of nowhere one day wearing lost artefacts and started killing heretics. After the battle was over she would just vanish and come back in the next great battle (even if she died).

In the old fluff, she was a repentia who knew about the location of a secret shrine where she found some fancy relics. She later died a martyr.

Actually, she gained those relics in the old fluff. The sword and armor came from the tomb of Saint Katherine. We also don't know what happened in the tomb, only thay she emerged from it wreathed in gold and borne aloft on pillars of light. That moment from the old fluff is described as her apotheosis. Not long after, the church declared her a living saint.

Yeah, like no space marines chapter was in the most important world of the Imperium during the 13th black crusade. No Black Templars in sight. Not at all.

Yall are missing the amazing things you can do with this kind of setting. Like, dude 2 had a great idea.

But think of it like this; Time is a... fluid concept with warp travel. Imagine being a Cadian regiment, lost to time aboard a regimental transport only to come out of the warp years after your home, the sacred duty of your people has been swallowed whole by the warp.

The lost sons of Cadia could be a fucking awesome idea.

You're assuming that Abby just has to fight the Imperium. But GW have said that every faction is going to get a part to play in the Gathering Storm.

There's two colossal Ork empires right next to Cadia that GW have stated could have a massive impact on the 13th Black Crusade if they united. And whadda ya know, Ghazzy is going around uniting Ork empires under the banner of a single galactic WAAAAGH.

Leviathan is ripping up from underneath the Galactic Plane, co-incidentally right next to Segmentum Solar. We know psychic activity draws the Nids (Leviathan is being attracted to Terra by the Astronomnicon) and now the Eye is expanding. What's the bet it starts luring Leviathan right towards it now that the main dampener on it has been destroyed?

Trayzn Martin knows that Abby is a major threat to the galaxy and is a high ranking Necron overlord. Odds are the Crons are going to show up to try and stop the Crusade too.

Farsight is the one Tau who has any idea of how much of a threat Chaos is. And the latest fluff for Tau has them using "impulse reactors" to travel at "hitherto unthinkable velocities". A Farsight led expeditionary force showing up to try and halt Abby is not unthinkable.

I'd rather these campaign books be about the armies and wars themselves, and less about whatever inflated ego has been propped up on the top of them.

>>51154164
>What's the bet it starts luring Leviathan right towards it now that the main dampener on it has been destroyed?

Tyranids fleets avoid Warpstorms like the plaque and their shadow in the Warp does nothing to dampen the affect of storms and void rifts. Haven't you read the Chaos daemon dex?

>Trayzn Martin knows that Abby is a major threat to the galaxy and is a high ranking Necron overlord.

Trazyn is nothing but the lowly Overlord of a single tomb world. He has no status among the other dynasties who view him as a troublemaker and a thief. He doesn't really care about this current war and its implication. He only cares about stealing stuff. Currently his legion and tomb world is crippled and he cannot call on his forces.

Sautekh and Imotekh are showing no interest in going west. The Stormlord interest is in seeing the east bow down to him. The Silent King cares only for the Tyranids.

>There's two colossal Ork empires right next to Cadia that GW have stated could have a massive impact on the 13th Black Crusade if they united. And whadda ya know, Ghazzy is going around uniting Ork empires under the banner of a single galactic WAAAAGH.

Which will only help to feed the Eye. If the Orks fought Abaddon as he was attacking Cadia, then they might have changed things. Now the Orks will only worsen the problem.

>arsight is the one Tau who has any idea of how much of a threat Chaos is.

Too bad that his side of the Damocles gulf is being attacked by Leviathan and he soon will find himself in a civil war with Shadowsun. He ain't going anywhere.

>"impulse reactors" to travel at "hitherto unthinkable velocities". A Farsight led expeditionary force showing up to try and halt Abby is not unthinkable.

It is unthinkable. Even with the new drives, it takes them months and years to get to the farthest areas from the core worlds of their empire. Do you have any idea how long will it take for them to reach the Segmentum Solar?

>>51154445
>>It is unthinkable. Even with the new drives, it takes them months and years to get to the farthest areas from the core worlds of their empire. Do you have any idea how long will it take for them to reach the Segmentum Solar?

Bear in mind this is the same GW that has the Tau expanding all the way to the Third Sphere without FTL travel. They play extremely fast and loose with galactic travel.

>>51153880
>but Failbaddon has no means to easily access warp now

What retardation is this? Abaddon has as much access as he likes. He is guy delivering an endless supply of warp to everyone's door step.

And the bulk of Orks are in Armageddon and Octavious. Ghaz interest is teleporting himself from Octa to Arma. Nothing anti-Chaos on his mind except generating enough Waaagh! energy to manifest Gork and Mork in real space.

Can I just say, this is all a cover up to hide the shitty get started they did with the Death Watch. It's the same shit from Death Masque!
