Hmmm. This calls for a serious debate, shall he be turned into an Arco-flagellant or harnessed to a Penitent Engine?

May the Emperor have mercy on your soul - because we will not.
The av suits you, BTW.

Thanks. I have a GK's one as well but it doesn't look that great at 150 x 150.

This one is a bit dark - is that Black Templars?

Exactly, just because James Bond had it in his car 400 years ago? (of course he had seatbelts as well).
Didn't the Doctor fire a phaser at a torpedo in Voyager once, and cause a big boom? If you were able to detonate the torpedo quickly enough when you enemy fired it, you could really ruin their day.

Yup. Not my favorite chapter but Dreadnought art is hard to come by.

This all dpends on what he plans to use it for. Will he use it to destory the enemies of the Starfleet? Or, will he use it to mine some ore?

Looks like Dark Angels to me.

I like the Penitent Engine myself. Strap one person into one and a whole city will be happy to avoid the same...

It's definitely the Black Templars, it's just hard to make out the Iron Cross on the banner. Trust me, I would never willing be seen sporting an Emo Chapter av.

Not yet. Chapters.ca was out of them IIRC after x-mas. It's on my list though, especially as Thorpe is the author.

It was a good book, a solid read, but totally worthless to the series. It did however give some good insight into Luther and the Lion.

Exactly why I liked it. The revelation of El'Jonson's quote during the Heresy was great, and it was different twist on the "Primarchs are godlike" thought found more commonly.

I liked how human Lion was next to the other Primarchs. How Luther had too surrender being the greatest man of his time to someone who wasn't even from his planet.
