10/11/10(Mon)15:18 No.12409305The Badab War is probably the most interesting background concerning marines in the entire 40k canon. What I know of this suggests I'll like it, because it explores what happens when Marines aren't prissy-perfect do-gooders. Huron says, "fuck you," to the Imperium and turns tyrants, bringing in several other chapters under his schism. He marshals armies of marines and rebel guard and fights against the loyalist chapters sent against him. The war draws to a stalemate, and the loyalists are gradually replaced by much more ruthless-but-loyal chapters who are probably much worse than the Astral Claws ever were. The Minotaurs kill 20% of the sector population as collateral damage in four months, and they're the -good- guys. |
