Huge Warhammer 40K fan — I’ve read loads of the books and watched tons of lore videos currently playing space marine 2 and rogue trader. I’m also really into flight sims and casual flight games, especially DCS and the F-18. I play a lot of War Thunder too and have top-tier USA air. Also been loving nuclear option !
I’m also into milsim games like Squad, Hell Let Loose and Arma Reforger, as well as Space Marine 2, Darktide and Cyberpunk 2077. I’m a big UFO/UAP nerd too — big fan of UAP gerb! I’ve read quite a few books on the topic.

Recently started playing CS2 as well, although I’m absolutely terrible 😂

Drop me a message and let’s hop on Discord!

The echo of damnation has arrived above Tsagualsa and talos goes to the navigation room to speak to Octavia after he awakes from one of his coma’s.

A short except but I love the humanisation of talos and the reaction of Octavia

Talos:

> The Legion had taken immense casualties in the Great Crusade, in service to the Emperor. Most of these were Terran. They came from Terra, from the
Emperor’s wars across humanity’s birth planet. But all of our reinforcements came from our home world, Nostramo. Decades had passed since the
primarch last walked upon the world’s surface, and his lessons of law had long since died. The population slid back into lawless anarchy, with no fear of
punishment from a distant Imperium. Do you understand how we were poisoning ourselves? We were repopulating the Legion with rapists and
murderers, with children who were the blackest sinners before they’d even tasted adulthood. The primarch’s lessons meant nothing to them, meant
nothing to most of the Eighth Legion at the end. They were slayers, raised to become demigods, with the galaxy as their prize to plunder. In wrathful
desperation, the primarch burned our home world. He destroyed it, breaking it apart from orbit with the firepower of the entire Legion fleet. Talos breathed, low and slow. ‘It took hours, Octavia. All the while, we
remained aboard our ships, listening to vox-calls from the surface, sending their screams and pleas up to us in the heavens. We never answered. Not even
once. We stayed in space and watched our own cities burn. At the very end, we watched the planet heaving, breaking apart beneath the fleet’s rage. Only
then did we turn away. Nostramo disintegrated into the void. I have never seen anything like it again. I know, in my heart, I never will.’

> A moment of foolishness almost made her reach a hand to touch his cheek. She knew better than to give in to that instinct. Still, the way he spoke, the
look in his black eyes – he was a child, grown into a god’s body without a man’s comprehension of humanity. No wonder these creatures were so
dangerous. Their stunted psyches worked on levels no human could quite comprehend: simplistic and passionate one moment, complex and inhuman the next.

Not a very long excerpt but I wonder how talos would have reacted to Octavia reaching out for his face..

I have recently moved house so maybe that’s it but it’s allowing me to purchase smaller items. Anyway I can fix this?
