>‘I am Tolemion of the Genesis, Warden of the West Protectorate. I am the End of Heretics, the Bane of Traitors, and a loyal son of Lord Guilliman.’ ‘Oh,’ Xarl chuckled through his voxsponder. ‘You must be very proud.’ He tossed something round and heavy onto the decking between them both. It rolled to knock gently against Tolemion’s boot. A helm. A Genesis Space Marine’s helm – the eye lenses put out, the faceplate smeared with blood. ‘You’ll scream just as he did,’ Xarl said with a smile. The Champion showed no reaction. He didn’t even move. ‘I knew that warrior,’ he said with solemn care. ‘He was Caleus, born of Newfound, and I know he died as he lived: with courage, honour, and knowing no fear.’ Xarl swept his chainsword across the scene, gesturing at the prone forms of First Claw. ‘I know all of these warriors. They are First Claw, and I know they’ll die as they lived: trying to run away.’
Why are Night Lords so based?
>>44073593
So who won the fight?
>>44073621
Xarl
Uzas did nothing wrong.
>>44073655
poor uzas
Chaos marine bantz thread?
>>44073635
Gay
>>44073635
I recall them killing each other
>>44073781
Iron Warrior's are based.
I love how often they tell the more heretical traitors to just shove it.
>>44076262
nah, they don't die there
>>44079505
Lexicanum says he's right, Xarl dies from wounds inflicted by the champion. It was a tie unless you argue that Xarl wins by dying last.
>>44079579
Oh shit you're right. I was thinking of everyone else.
My bad.
>>44076309
pert did join chaos out of spite
>>44073781
>Have faith Word Bearer
Oh no he didn't.
>>44081026
No, he did it out fear of reprimand. He was ascended into demonhood out of spite.
Man, CSM are lame. How is anyone honestly a fan of a this?
>>44082337
>mfw loyalists can't handle the bantz
>>44081126
And it was an unnamed generic captain talking to Kor fucking Phaeron.
That's amazing.
Though, in response, he should have said something along the lines of "We are not so used to murdering our brothers, Iron Warrior."
>>44082419
>yfw you realize daddy issues got you turned into dust
>no faceCool pic though
>>44073781
what a cheeky fucker
I love it
>>44073593
Actually always more moved by Tolemion's response.
>>44073655
Uzas DID do nothing wrong.
>>44073747
Indeed.
>>44083270
Let's not kid our selves. He was a Night Lord. They're pretty much made to be doing wrong stuff. He was good at and liked doing wrong stuff so much the whispers of the blood god seeped into his brain.
He did get dicked over, and accused of things he didn't do and had no recourse to do anything about. Shit's tragic. But one of the key elements of tragedy is some fault.
>>44073781
I love Mon-keigh bants.
>>44082419
so is that a rubric or what?
>>44084531
no idea, it's just what it was originally saved as
>>44084531
It's a member of the Crimson Slaughter.
>>44085724
Why?
>>44082453
>Word Bearers
>Not so used to murdering their brothers
>60 years of systematic loyalist purchases
>catalysts for the entire Heresy, brother vs brother
>>44083377
He did less wrong than most of his brothers and even those in his squad, which means a lot
>>44087965
>purchases
"BROTHER, YOUR LIFE IS ON SALE AND I'M GOING TO BUY THE SHIT OUT OF IT"
>>44073593
This is pure cringe
>"Pssh... nothing personnel, battle brother" Xarl said with a smile as he teleported behind The Champion, unsheathing his Hanzo chainsword
>>44088156
>less wrong
He killed dozens of slaves.
He did less wrong than Cyrion sure, but the others didn't do much in comparison.
>>44088244
>implying
It's called empty bravado coupled with arrogance, he knew his chances were horrible but was too proud to admit it and too much of a dick to act like anything else than victory was possible
>>44088281
Did you even read the books?
They all did that, even talos
>>44088295
Talos did it because he gave his Legion pendant or something as a sign of protection.
It's been a long time since I read them but I remember Uzas killing slaves, not the others. He says it at the end "I killed dozens but bear the blame for hundreds" or something like that.
>>44073593
>I am Tolemion of the Genesis, Warden of the Iron Pill. I am perfectly euphoric, a vaper, and a loyal son of Lord Dawkins
>>44082419
>Son of magnus
>Red armor
>dual wielding FUCKYOU axes
>Not a world eater
Might as well call him an Imperial Fist, retard.
>>44088319
Nope, you remember it wrong then
All of them prowled the lower decks, one of the chapters literally starts with talos killing some humans in the lower decks
Shame on you
>>44088319
The problem with itsy was that he supposedly killed valuable crew instead of just the lower class scum of the lower decks
But actually even that was mostly cyrion
>>44073593
Am I supposed to sympathize with the night lords in that passage?
Because the warden seems much more based.
>>44088415
Forgive me brother for I have sinned.
>>44088288
Pssh...Nothing personal kid, I'm just acting tough
>>44082419
Dude looks like a Crimson Slaughter desu senpai.
>>44073781
>Talos felt his newly-recovered strength desert him. Back to the wall, he slid down to the decking, clutching his shattered breastplate. The Dreadnoughts regarded each other in a moment of almost hilarious calm.
>"KILL IT!" Talos screamed. "KILL IT NOW!"
>"I already have once." Malcharion boomed.
>"Even in death," the Blood Angel growled,"I will avenge myself."
>"You deserve the chance."
Based Malcharion, in the background like an OG.
>>44088456
You kidding me? The loyalist got Cossacked. Full of empty "muh life 4 de emprah" bullshit that didn't matter in the end. Only reason he did so well was his equipment was better.
>>44088244
Mate that shit the loyalist said was basically sounded like some kid trying to be badass. Xarl just called him on his bullshit
>>44088288
Not at all. Xarl was an incredible fighter and had every chance of victory.
>>44073593
>psh nofin personel the speech
>>44089272
"I AM SUPER ULTRA NOBLEBRIGHT JUSTICE CHAMPION KNIGHT
WINRAR OF ALL THE BATTLES IMMA BEAT YOU UP."
You're right.
Amazing that Chaos is as successful as it is if the legions are as rife with murder on an inter-squad level as these books suggest
If I ever write BL novel, I'll be sure to use 'Then it turned out that all the Chaos Marines had killed each other over some drama' as a plot point
>>44089248
Dude respected his bro over the edgy posturing of the enemy. That's more based to me than a couple of throwaway insults
>>44082453
That would have made it much worse. Or better?
>Cheeky Fucker: "Have faith, Word Bearer"
>Kor Phaeron: "We are not so used to-" *CF hangs up*
Tolemion seems more based from that paragraph, to be honest.
>>44089053
>I HEARD THE BOLTERS
Now that's one hell of a one-liner after you splattered someone's innards all over the room with your auto canon.
>>44089325
>>44089272
>T-the honourable guy i-is just being edgy
T. 15 year old nightlords fans
>>44090153
Except they never said he was edgy..
They clearly said he was pedant and pompous, which is true, and the base of Xarl's joke.
Stop throwing edgy around. It's like the people that claims that SW fans are furries when in all my time in /tg/ I have never witnessed one.
>>44090649
>They clearly said he was pedant and pompous
No, they quite clearly said he sounded like "some kid trying to be badass". The red numbers are right there, and you can view the conversation in full rather easily.
Now, "some kid trying to be badass" is definitely going to involve a lot of pedantry and pomp, but modern slang currently has a convenient and popular word to describe little bastards trying to act cool.
>>44090649
Actually, they said badass not pedant or pompous. Pedant isn't even relevant to anything he said.
> joke
Real good one it is too.
>>44090801
Yes, the two of us are being pedants. That is quite a departure from going
>ME AM BIG SCARY JUSTICE WARRIOR MAN IM GUNNA BEAT YOU ALL UP
>wow what a retard
>>44073781
Based Iron Warriors.
Honsou alone has mouthed off to a Bloodthirster, Huron Blackheart, and M`Kar the Thrice-screwed.
>>44073593
>the Bane of Traitors
Bane?
>>44092145
>>44073781
I STILL remember reading that line.
Shit was based as fuck.
Why do the traitors all get to keep an awesome personality? It's like being intelligent, nihilistic, with a wicked sense of humor makes you prone to corruption.
>>44097495
>intelligent
Intelligence leads to questions, which leads to be branded a Heretic, which requires you actually be a Heretic to survive.
Or it could be after people threw off the shackles of the Corpse-God they're allowed to develop a personality.
>>44073593
>Night Shitter tries to be edgy
>Doesn't even faze loyalist bro
>Night Shitter ends up insulting himself and his own friends
And yet you take from this that Night Shitters are based?
>>44073593
I don't get it, why would he say that his warriors die as they lived, trying to run away?
I'm missing something I guess.
>>44095548
>>44098190
It's Tolemion who says that, Xarl is busy showing the First Claw coming for him.
>>44098276
>It's Tolemion who says that,
Know it's not.
>>44098343
So Xarl is acknowledging that the First Claw are a bunch of cowards?
I guess I'm also missing something...
>>44098190
>>44098371
Oh, I think I get it know, I'm guessing the prone forms of the First Claw aren't dead, they just failed to do something, and Xarl is saying that after he kills Tolemion he's gonna kick their asses for failing/running away.
>>44098005
Dishonorable people can't comprehend honor, news at 11.
>>44098469
No
He's just saying 'man, my friends suck'
>>44089272
>>44089325
Heretics are literally keks
>>44097729
> intelligent, nihilistic, with a wicked sense of humor
That was a meme, my friend. I was memeing in my post as well as making a question.
>>44098866
Pretty much. Basically acknowledging that their Legion's "speciality" is raiding, usually much weaker foes, and that when they eventually died the circumstances of that would be no different.
