#warboss horus and his lads

[crysdrawsthings]

Just finished "Fulgrim" and I would like to sue Games Workshop and mr. McNeill for the emotional devastation of how things started and ended between Ferrus and Fulgrim

[crysdrawsthings]

Continuing (finally) to read "Fulgrim" and I will sue the author for emotional damages of seeing all these nice and lovely moments between characters, while knowing how it will end.

Also by far every second interaction between Fulgrim and Ferrus was either downright adorable or peak family comedy. Won't go like this for long, i feel.

But. There was this moment with them, where, at least according to translation, Fulgrim is all fancy chilling in the deck chair and sipping wine, while Ferrus is doing n-th circle across the room and later asked by Fulgrim to maybe stop before he will trample a trench in this, as a matter of fact, pretty expensive marble.

Like, excuse me, this is killing me.

[crysdrawsthings]

I can't believe Sindermann accidentally summoned a daemon by reading Erebus' head scribbles out loud.

Is everything about this guy just a massive haha, screw you to the world?

[crysdrawsthings]

So, I finished False Gods yesterday and the main emotion I have for now is "Horus, you giant anime walnut"

Yes, of course, why to use giant cathedral-bearing battle robots of doom you were using extensively all other days to shoot at the obvious trap, no, we must get closer and stab them with our space swords in glorious melee.

This is how you get stabbed and die a horrible death.

In his defense, after Loken brought this up he at least tried shooting at stuff with giant battle robots, but only a bit.

I slap his balding head. Twice.

[crysdrawsthings]

Lucius "Hey, maybe Emperor made those giant murderbugs and set them loose in the space so we will have strong oponents to fight with"

Vs

Saul "Surely those murderbugs who open power armour like soup cans and move so fast they outpace Astartes sense must understand human superiority over them. Maybe they are jealous?"

Fight

Crys Reads Horus Heresy: Horus Rising

Started: 01.12.2021

Finished: 24.12.2021 (I don't have much free time :c)

And now for the assortment of my deranged notes:

"as if he was from some other, black legion" - oh, some delicious foreshadowing about Abby? Approve

hey, Horus is fun, I want to squish him

and so the historical question of why Imperium needs to get in everyone's business is asked for the first time

hey, Russ, leave remembrancers alone, they are trying, excuse me that not everyone is born to be Wolfson the Wolfin son of a Wolf

some more Abby-shadowing, nice

hey, pleasant to see space marines being bro

Little Horus, lol. Tiny Horus. Horus Jr. Mini-Horus. Okay, I am done

it is odd to read propaganda about magic and gods not existing, when I for the fact know that they kinda are. Also you have a whole legion of space wizards...

listen, all those mentions of gangs on Cthonia I can't stop imagining the whole planet of gopniks in Adidas and all

hugs!!! More hugs!!!

it is very relatable situation when you favourite notebooks get discontinued, alright

Horus with architect under arm, lol. And looking for people to hug

"oh yeah, Wolves of Fenris are damn deranged, lol" - god tier quote, alright

woah, Loken, chill, not everyone here are physically unable to fear

oh, this is where they will first get daemon, right? Right

"i am hearing it since arrival, but I don't have vox" is... Seriously good creepy vibes

so, there is a guy whose name in Russian is written as Udon. Yes, same as noodles. He also "gently called out" to possessed Xavier and this was very sweet

Loken showing the size of hats is adorable

oh, Samus certainly feels like some Nurgle daemon

Horus being sad that E haven't told even him about the cool new plans is so... Ugh. I pat your shiny bald head Horus

OH NEXT PART IS WITH EMPEROR'S CHILDREN??? GRIM??? (There was no Grim)

can you please stop writing numbers of your plants and fleets in words, pleaseeee

Licius is an amazing himbo.

"oh, maybe Emperor made muderbugs so we will have good opponents?"

"haven't stabbed anyone in twenty minutes, lets gooooooo"

"Lucius, ew, drop the nasty" - Eidolon, who certainly haven't played Monster Hunter

HORUS JOKES AGAIN!

"especially not a fan of those celebratory garlands c:" - you bastard (affectionate)

Loken and Torgaddon jumping to slap the pipes. Boys will be boys

Eidolon you sneaky bastard (half-affectionate)

Iacton, you amazing grandpa, I will be following you career in the series with great interest

SANGUINIUS SANGUINIUS SANGUINIUS ALL PRAISE THE HAWKBOY

"Magnus, shrouded in mystery" - damn, my lad!!!

I feel so bad for Interex. They were just chill dude with cool music

and for Horus in this case. They both tried so hard. I hope Horus genuinely tried, I am notoriously bad at reading between lines

Horus and E taking about twenty constellations for twenty Primarchs. Oddly sweet

EREBUS, YOU BASTARD (DEROGATORY)

everyone in Mournival pushing Loken to spar with Lucius, lol

Crys Reads Horus Heresy: False Gods

Started: 24.12.2021

Finished: 07.01.2022

Previous book: Horus Rising

And now for the assortment of my deranged notes. I am excluding some quotes I wrote down in Russian and might mix up names a bit where the translation is very different from the original:

Titans!!! Big robots go stomp-stomp! Hell yeah!

Ionah you are going into horny jail for this "raw male power" about your titan, yes this book had EC, but you are the one who will get bonk, I swear

99 virtues of Emperor, our beloved. Let me guess, good parenting is not on the list?

Loken has freckles, I repeat, Loken has freckles

Ah, so they left Kor Phaeron on Davin? Well, I am not surprised it turned into a shithole

Industrial catacombs of Cthonia. Interesting.

Horus sitting sad and alone in his room. Awww. Erebus is not good for your health, baby, come on.

Karkasy, ew, stop staring in the cleavages.

I am omitting several notes of myself talking about how I am going to get Erebus knees from here.

"At birth, I was named Erebus" LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE

Ohoho, slipping about the blade with Loken noticing

Note to self: apparently, at least Astartes and in 30k were flying in the Warp with blinds open. Must have been beautiful. And trippy.

Switching from "For Teh Emprah" to "Kill for the Warmaster". Foreshadowing much?

Ah yes, Horus and Petronella and "behold, my closest friends" with the camera panning to Mornival trying to make Torgaddon shut up about bear jokes

I think that one moment with Legions being all "yeeeeah! MURDER TIME!" is nicely written in a somewhat chilly manner, like, bad vibes, man, bad vibes

Oh, Nurgle and rotten moon!

TITANS TITANS TITANS STOMP STOMP

"Puny mortals?" Ew, Eezy, ew.

Note to self: apparently, some old Terran weapons can sever soul from the body!

Yes, sure, why use giant battle robots you have with you to blow up an obvious trap, Horus. Because glorious melee is obvious the right answer. This is how you get stabbed and die.

Ten floors of free fall. Horus, this is not your day, baby.

"Astartes were flung to the sides like kittens" Excuse me?

Sword from Ferrus? Good lad Ferrus made everyone swords? That sounds about right.

To be honest to poor nurgled dude. He got some points.

MAGNUS MAGNUS MAGNUS YEEEEEAH SHOW ME THE BEST LAD

Magnus you damn disaster wizard, love you sm, dude, like, I am going to fistfight Emps for you. Emps and Russ both at the same time, I have two fists actually

Someone needs to do something about this rampant slavery issue in the grimdark space

Petronella trying to lift Horus up. Feels.

As I suspected at least part of why Magnus wanted to use the spell for contacting Emps is because he wanted to prove a point that magic can save the Imperium. This is prideful, but, like, touching. I admire his dedication to the craft.

Crying Abaddon is an interesting mental image I have never considered...

Stampeding Astartes is scary and dangerous for nearby civilians. Damn, dudes...

Horus tells stuff to Petronella feeling that he might die soon. They could have had so much more interesting screentime together. But no, damn plot.

"Night Haunter - a very grumpy lad, and Lion is also as hard to deal with as Angron" Woah okay there dude

Erebus came running on the faintest scent of drama happening, why am I not surprised

Upcoming, Horus Lupercal and his amazing warp trips, part 1

The ritual method is certainly... creative

F in chat for the priestess who tried to kill Erebus, she tried to do what most in fandom only dream of

Erebus is selling the Chaos to Horus like bank people advertising the very profitable and safe loans and I am reeling

Oh, a cool quote about XI!

I wonder if Astartes do not really age, why is Qruze is constantly described as like, damn grandpa?

Karkasy, you might not pass all my vibe checks, but you definitely say some raw lines at a time

Magnus' feathered cape makes its appearance. Swag check - passed.

So, this is now canon, that by reading aloud from Erebus' head you can summon daemons, and no I am not accepting critique on this skewed perspective on the written word in the book

Okay, fine, I won't let you suffer through every occurrence of me running on the ceiling and fangirling over Magnus. He is still the best tho.

Well, RIP for Auretian Technocracy, but Horus wanted your premium toaster to give to Regulus and Kelbor-Hal.

Also no, I liked earlier Horus better, this one is fun as an evil scheming villain, but like, a bit cardboardy at times

Horus staring at Regulus and asking how much of a machine he is... Dude, have you heard of personal space?

"Wise advice of Fulgrim" Listen, I know this is before he became a four-armed snake who is constantly high, drunk, and vibing, but still it is such an interesting phrase to see.

But I mean, deciding to stop fighting in a pointless war and instead leaving to chill with sexy daemons is not the worst decision. Should have not abandoned his Legion tho.

Okay, what is the story with Lucious and his scars? Also, I will probably ignore this, because I like smooth pretty face Lucius more. Precious himbo

"Oh, come on, he is Warmaster, he goes where he wants" - I swear it sounds funnier in Russian and to me

If I had a coin for every time Fulgrim got his hands on a very cursed sword, I would have had two coins by now, which is not much, but it is interesting, that it happened twice. And hey, maybe his return to 40k will be with this sword that Yvraine looks for because he and Slaanesh will be doing a little trolling?

You know, here is this sword you want. It goes in a package with a murderous snake man

So, it seems to be either old retconned lore or just "official version" that apparently earthen technology was able to remove Butcher's Nails just Angron was against this

And well, here we have another case of people living a nice and comfortable life before Imperium decided that nope, can't do that.

[crysdrawsthings]

Reading Flight of Eisenstein and for the posterity, if nothing changes and nothing would change I bet, I am coming for Ignatius Grulgor knees.

The only reaction I have to this guy by far is rage.

[crysdrawsthings]

So I am reading Horus Rising and there is this moment with Torgaddon going basically

"Oh yeah, Wolves of Fenris are certainly the best. Why? They are completely deranged. Now, if we are speaking about somewhat sensible Legions though..."

And like, I hope this is not just Russian translator having a heated gamer moment. This came out of nowhere, made me choke on my tea and is charged with an attempt on my life.

[crysdrawsthings]

Okay, this moment in the False Gods with Horus introducing Mournival to Petronella.

While they were wrestling Torgaddon so he will not tell a joke about damn bear again. With Loken specifically holding Torgaddon head under an elbow.

Amazing. The gift that keeps on giving. The most epic "behold... My friends!" moment imaginable.

[crysdrawsthings]

Finished Flight of the Eisenstein. Well, almost, have a dozen or so pages left.

Which means I am reading Fulgrim (the book) next, which is exciting, because I get to see the horrible shenanigans of Fulgrim (the dude).

Also I am not sure, I think I may have not published my notes on Galaxy in Flames?

[crysdrawsthings]

Reading about Iron Hands and Emperor's Children (including their Primarchs) being best buddies for life is a certain kind of hell, because this is just so sweet, but I also know how it will end and this is pain.

Also okay, issuing a statement about going to make the bestest weapon Terra have even seen while striking a showy pose is... Fulgrim, you perfect dramatic meow meow.

[crysdrawsthings]

Horus Rising - finished! Now onto the False Gods.

And some time later I will go over and make post of my notes regarding the book too. I posted some of these, but not much.

And like, yeah, this is not some big analysis, more like "here is a fun joke Horus said!" or "here comes Erebus and here comes my ache to throw hands with him!" or "and yet again we are shown human civilization that has reasonably calmer tits compared to Imperium!"

[crysdrawsthings]

My biggest pet peeve with reading this Russian translation of Horse Hearsay for now is that they insist on writing out all those number designation for fleets and planets by words.

Which means that I am dealing with passages like "четыреста двадцатый и шестьдесят девятый флоты идут к планете сто сорок двадцать три" on a regular basis while reading and then it would be important for plot, but I am sorry, I have one braincell and I can barely remember actually interesting details.

Like Horus' secret club poking fun at Abby Not Yet Despoiler.

[crysdrawsthings]

Midnight hot take from yours truly.

Warmaster this, warhamster that, seventy different something-general and so on. Screw this.

Orks have figured the right formula long ago.

And as we have established previously Imperium is using the same leadership structure anyway.

So Warboss Horus would be basically the same thing as Warmaster Horus, but 20% cooler and with a boss pole to write about his galaxy conquering speedrun progress on.

[crysdrawsthings]

This book gave me both Magnus (trying his best, being amazing space wizard in a feathered cloak) and Fulgrim (being fabulous bastard (affectionate) and having, apparently, few people carry his cloak after him). I am so damn happy.

However Horus also decided to listed to Erebus, so I am also suffering.

I can believe Sindermann accidentally summoned a daemon by reading Erebus' head scribbles out loud.

Is everything about this guy just a massive haha, screw you to the world?
