A Blood Angel with non-functioning bionic hands who actually seems to like human beings. This is even more tragic because there are three likeable characters that liven things up whenever they are around. It makes sense in-world that everyone that gets to hand out with the Emperor would be just reaaaal fucking loyal, its just not that interesting. I mean, everyone is super, super loyal, but are you loyal to him as a gene-bonded super-malmuk, loyal to him as a part-machine super-deity or loyal to him just as the all powerful dictator of the galactic super-state that employs you and justifies your horrible existence? The main dramatic conflict amongst the primary characters is exactly how loyal they are to the Emperor.
Essentially some guys trained by a dick to sneer at mankind join up with some other guys who have had their personalities literally surgically removed and some girls who are literally soulless to fight a bunch of endlessly morphing and therefore identity-less demons. The first is that Demski-Bowden has chosen to tell his story mainly from the POV of the least interesting characters. There are two big problems with the characters. The most exciting event of the 'War in the Webway', Magnus bursting in covered in demons and bolloxing the whole thing, is told twice, once in a preface fragment and once as a memory, we never see it as a dramatic whole related to the other parts. And they say at the beginning "we're probably going to have to retreat", then they do. Most of the 'War in the Webway' is told in memories, descriptions and reports, we come in towards the end when all our heroes can do is retreat and the story is essentially them doing that. Want to know the secret origin of the demon in Abbadons sword? You're in luck! Will it be filled? If you want to wait for two thirds of a 400 page book to find out then read on! Ok so, 30,000 years in the future, at the turning point of the Horus Heresy, an Imperial official puts through a really big requisition order with the Adeptus Mechanicum. It does indeed, tell you what has been going on. The guy at the warhammer shop asked me if I was "interested in finding out what’s going on back at Terra?" and the book fulfils that promise a bit too accurately. It reminds me of nothing as much as a really long Lexicanium article. Will i This isn't terrible but its barely alive. This isn't terrible but its barely alive.
