[QUOTE="humble minion, post: 9248600, member: 5948"] Pfft, the only TRUE Emperor has four arms... Yeah, it's mostly been the Horus Heresy stuff that's kept me interested in the setting in recent years. I don't play the miniatures game but i read the novels, but I've been leaving a lot of the 'current day' stuff unread - and that's quite aside from GWs habit of hiding important lore in small doses in expensive game supplements with limited print runs. Bringing metaplot into 40k, after decades of being wise enough to avoid doing so, is one of the dumbest decisions that GW has made in their existence. I can already see the setting starting to go the way of Old World of Darkness or even 2e-era FR where the whole thing boringly revolves around the doings of a few NPCs with plot armour. Guilliman fights Mortarion, Abaddon fights Calgar, the Lion fights Angron, and because GW isn't going to kill any of these characters off, either nothing is decided or else the daemon primarchs 'lose' and get banished to the warp and then come back later as if nothing had happened except for being made to look like perpetual loser jokes. They've written themselves into a corner of increasing silliness. [/QUOTE]
