So I had a little thought experiment: what First Founding Legions would the members of this board be? It got a little ugly. Here's the breakdown:
A raging killer of slavers willing to inflict considerable collateral damage to exterminate them all. Just like his Primarch. frigidmagi, World Eater.
Devious and cunning, with a focus on intelligence work, misdirection, and shrewd tactics. Hotfoot, Alpha Legion.
Perfection in all things and a deep appreciation of aesthetic beauty. Marcao, Emperor's Children. Tev, seconded to the Legion's service.
A bold crusader against dark powers, unwilling to give up the fight no matter what the odds and able to endure all that comes to him. Rogue 9 and Nitram, Death Guard.
Treacherous, a silver tongue dipped in poison, in service to dark powers, and handy with a knife. Charon, Word Bearer.
Overweening ambition and lust for sorcerous power. Comrade Tortoise marches with the Thousand Sons.
Warhammer already has its Batman and Gotham City. Take your place among the Nightlords Batman.
And myself? Scholar, sorcerer, plotter of the ways. I stand among the Thousand Sons of the Crimson King.
Not all of us fall under the shadow of Horus.
rhoenix, enthusiastic, passionate, Scandinavian roots. One of the Wolves of Fenris.
General Havoc. Where else would an admirer of Rome end up but in the Ultramarines?

It's not that I'm unforgiving, it's that most of the people who wrong me are unrepentant assholes.

At least you know what that actually means. Me, I have to look up the Nightlords now 
(my WH40K knowledge can essentially be summed up by the phrase 'properly painted Space Marine miniatures look nifty'). 
(my WH40K knowledge can essentially be summed up by the phrase 'properly painted Space Marine miniatures look nifty'). 'I wonder how far the barometer sunk.'-'All der way. Trust me on dis.'
'Go ahead. Bake my quiche'.
'Undead or alive, you're coming with me.'
'Detritus?'-'Yessir?'-'Never go to Klatch'.-'Yessir.'
'Many fine old manuscripts in that place, I believe. Without price, I'm told.'-'Yes, sir. Certainly worthless, sir.'-'Is it possible you misunderstood what I just said, Commander?'
'Can't sing, can't dance, can handle a sword a little'
'Run away, and live to run away another day'-The Rincewind principle

Bah, my Primarch was/is an idiot. Hint: If you're waging a rebellion against numerically superior forces don't fight conventionally, get thee to the shadows. More importantly if the leader of a vast interstellar empire offers you power, weapons and more while you're doing this? SAY YES! Sure there will be strings but it's better then dangling from a rope. Dead men kill no slavers! Some superhuman there, I would have done a better job and I'm not even that outstanding of a regular human (Fuck I'm pretty well average in my mental and physical capabilities).
Are you sure about this Cat? I mean I've been know to be bloody minded and ruthless but I don't know if I fit in with a bunch of foaming at the mouth retards...
Can't I be a salamander? They fought Dark Eldar slavers! They use flame throwers! To be honest though I always felt that in the world of 40K I was very likely to end up a Storm trooper or something. Assuming the Emperor didn't think it was funny to make me a draftee.... Oh if I ended up a draftee some Ork son of a bitch is gonna pay!

A certain plasma storm incident in the recent past might be overly influential, but that's the call I made. If you want, I can whip up loyalist alternatives for everyone.frigidmagi wrote:
