also maybe because the Space Hulk board game did not have a carnifex, trygon, hive tyrant, or lictor.
Mmmm... plasma cannons.... Mmmmm... heavy flamers.... Mmmm... asssault cannon, so much nicer than heavy bolter... But where's my mutha-fuckin' MULTIMELTA?!?!!?!?!?
What do you mean I can't "like" this more than once? Dorn's Men are the Emperor's Finest. At least we're not suffering the Blue Mary Sue's again.
So far the best Ultrablue to ever be churned out was the non-canonical Captain Titus, arrested by the Inquisition for the heinous crime of being stoic, self-aware and manly while wearing the True Blue. Had he been a Fist, no problem - REAL battle brothers don't tattle shit like "doesn't dramatically faint when touching the warp artifact" to the Paranoia Brigade. On a more serious note, and at your recommendation, I shall find and read these when I get a chance. However I will be a Dorn Dude long after my bones are dust.
basically read anything by Aaron Dembski-Bowden or Dan Abnett. They make literally any chapter/legion fucking cool. Books to also check out: The First Heretic, Betrayer, The Night Lords trilogy.
