Started listening to Horus Rising. This is the cover. I didn't know Space Marines looked like Iron Maiden circa 1978.

Really? Who else would they look like? C'mon Casey G.
ReplyDeleteThe minis look like Slab McBeef. '70's British metal bands are closer the mark, I agree.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe that's how far they've fallen since the Heresy.
ReplyDeleteThat whole pic looks like Maiden album covers after they lost Derek Riggs.
ReplyDeleteThey started out as 80's metal dudes and devolved into meat Bros after 30k years of lifting weights, drinking fitness juice and shit in an orbital war monastery.
ReplyDeleteRebellious youth gives way to becoming the MAN every time.
ReplyDeleteYep... One minute you're a fresh out of the bio kiln genetically modified super soldier and then 30k years later you're a grim Dad genetically modified super soldier.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame really - I like my Space Marines as sort of juiced up gene-modded, cyber augments crazed medieval warrior monks. Like the main difference between a non-ultramarine Imperial Marine (the ultras should always be creepy buzzcut guys) and a less mutated chaos marine is if they're going to cook your heart before they eat it to praise their god.
ReplyDeleteChains, skulls, long dirty hair, crazy eyes, bizarre body mods. They live in space and only talk to eachother - I bet they are all nutters.
GW were smart with the whole "1,000 chapters" thing. There's room for whatever space marines you want.
