been listening to 30k books in the main story line and I really like the difference in internal culture of the various space marine chapters

lunar wolves: rally Brothers to the beautiful and mighty form of our fallen primarch! his gracious physique laid low through treachery! rally to his side for all the good that is left in the universe! *they then beat 200 civilians to death to get him to a doctor*

emperors children: god I love being perfect. we are so perfect we are beyond perfect. perfect at everything. perfect at combat. perfect at art. but you know what will make us even more perfect? listening to evil music and bathing in the blood of innocents :)

thousand sons: take heed Brothers and comrades for there is scary mind things going on here the lesser beings cannot comprehend and honestly arent even affected by. I will lead us now into 30 minutes of guided meditation in this active war zone so we can stay strong in the face of this massive danger :) *everyone else just steps around them and fights most of the battle*

death guard: wow I love being immune to poison and toxins. when we eat dinner together I really wish one day daddy mortarion will share the Super Poison DrinkTM with me as if I could ever be worthy of such an honor

#im joking but the first few books of the corruption of Horus and the purging of the legions is so like #ancient greek epic #with how they talk and how things are described #the first book has like whole fleets of civilian followers whove never even seen horus weaping and moaning while hes dying for 300 days #and hes always like the perfect golden son so beautiful and strong and radiant to even partly resemble him marks you for greatness #then he is betrayed and tempted for 30 days and 30 nights #and his hubris destroys all that his wished to rule #its so good #but then other books are just like #we got tempted because we knowingly did bad things and didnt even put up a fight >:) we love being evil >:)#im reading thousand sons rn and its like so casual about thousands of marines getting wiped out #when magnus was just kinda fucking around in the mental realm thinking real hard at a ghost #and no one even gives a shit afterwards theyre just like wow magnus is so strong and cool :) i cant wait to go home and read my scrolls :)
