  • My 10 reasons for the Blood Angels

    The Blood Angels already had a rough recent past with the Baal System being omnomnomed by Tyrandis, but things will get even worse with the 8th Edition: Nearly wiped out by the Tyrandis – and I can’t think of anyone better I would rather be wiped out by – only to be rescued in the…

  • “They never even had a chance to be people before someone turned them into a gun instead.”

    “Well, for starters, Space Marines are chosen as children, tortured by SCIENCE!, and then drafted into an eternity of being monastic murder machines whose sole purpose is to hold up the crumbling foundations of an omnicidal dystopia in the name of a rotting carcass that eats psykers like chiclets. They’re emotionally stunted orphans who were…

  • “The pinnacle of the Dark Millenium …”

    “This Chapter has always fascinated me and I take any assignment involving them with eagerness. To me, they’re the pinnacle of the Dark Millennium: devoted, strong, unforgiving and completely zealous in their quest to rid mankind of its flesh. Their extensive use of bionics as well as their baroque decorations and praise of technology are,…

  • My 10 reasons for the White Scars

    For quite a long time, I had given the White Scars no second thought beyond “Mongol Bike-Marines”.  But the longer I am around in the Dark Millennium, them more I like them. Here are my 10 reasons why …

  • Thousand Fist – Letter No. 7 – Our Darkness

    My Brother, my report seems to have ended with the last letter, but you do know, that I haven mentioned a certain aspect of my chapter only briefly: The _things_ we do within our old fortress monastery on Campus Actuarii. I think, it all started with the loss of our homeworld. Or maybe even earlier:…

  • Thousand Fist – Letter No. 6 – Important Members of the Chapter and Campaigns

    My dearest Brother, within my last letters I told you all the essential information about my chapter and my people. Yet I do have do add some things without too much explanation: A highly incomplete report on the most important Brothers of my chapter, Persons within our Fleet and our most important campaigns. You will…

  • Thousand Fist – Letter No. 5 – Military Organisation and Combat Doctrine

    My honoured Battlebrother, within my last Letter, I told you about the culture of my people as well as their traditions and believes. I considered it important to understand that, or rather have a first glimpse into it, before I explain the military organisation and combat doctrines of my chapter, as the later has greatly…

  • Thousand Fist – Letter No. 4 – Chapter Culture and Believes

    My Brother, I am sorry for the delay in my letters. We have been under attack by renegades lately and the secret of our fortress monastery must be defended at all costs. So I neither had a chance to write you nor to continue on my research. Currently I can only continue to explain the…

  • Thousand Fist – Letter No. 3 – Loss of the Mountain

    My honoured Brother, in my last letter I told you how my chapter lost our homeworld and was granted a star fortress – The Mountain – for our reliable services. For more than three millennia it served as the home of my chapter and the refuge of our people. Sadly this was not the end…

  • Thousand Fist – Letter No. 2 – Loss of the Homeworld

    My dearest Colleague, in my last letter I told you about the Founding Legend of my Chapter. Now it’s time to come back to the Facts, which is more appropriate for men like us. When the Chapter was founded during one of the early Foundings, Campus Actuarii was given to us as our Homeworld, because…
