Well, I mean, for the first part they could be just recoloured Primaris with chaosey rules or something. It's not like everyone spontaneously grew spikes and horns during Horus Heresy.

No, just many of them.

[Tack]

Maybe the Primaris are immune to spikes.
Maybe they'll continue looking pristine and perfect forever.

And Fulgrim will have them all.

[Andres]

You know what would be a neat twist? If it's discovered that the Primaris Marines are inherently flawed. Maybe they start dying off like normal humans from age and disease. That would be cool. Plus it would throw the Imperium into even more o a grimdark state since it's bold, bright heroes are succumbing to their own imperfections

Space Marines can die of old age probably. Sigismund at least was deteriorating because he was so old.

[LordBaal]

Old age for them is like +800 years. I guess it varies from chapter to chapter and marine to marine, stuff like he quality of the geneseed and whatnot.

[nenjin]

I seem to recall the lore on this has changed. Because I swear in my 2e Angels of Death Codex, Dante was stated to be almost 10,000 years old. But that number has been gradually getting smaller with every revision.

By the way, there's a Black Library open submission until April. I've been working on something else, but I'll be writing mine soon.

[Digital Hellhound]

To fit with Black Library’s range, your story should not include graphic descriptions of gratuitous violence

Has... has BL actually read any of the books they publish?

I like the themes on offer anyway. 40k heist story! That's a new one, but I kinda love it.

[Kot]

Dante over a thousand years old ATM, and that's setting aside the traitors which tend to remember Horus Heresy. Tbh, in theoretical sense they could probably live forever, considering the magical stasis ability of theirs, but I'd guess their natural death is something nearly inachieveable considering the way they live, something like 2000 years.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Has... has BL actually read any of the books they publish?

Given the exact wording, I think that means they don't want "And then Stkrak the Violator stuck his spinning chainsword into the youth's abdomen, flesh parting way as blood splattered the floor and ceiling to his screams and the intestines wrapping around the hilt gave Stkrak amusement and even arousal at the torn gash of war inflicted against yet another victim."

"They shot the guardsmen" is probably fine.

The fuck is this poisoned company doing? Do they ever actually offer anything other than total harvesting to their community, is it not enough to go after their wallets, but to go after their ideas too?

Pretty standard practice when it comes to these things. Remember getting pissed off about the same thing a while back, can't remember who exactly had the competition. It's essentially farming out potentially good ideas and masking it as a competition. They might be greedy bastards, but they're not the first ones to do it afaik

I never said they were the first. My outrage is unlimited to whatever is wrong, no matter how normal it has become. That it is normal is no exoneration of GW, that it is normal is a scar against humanity

[milo christiansen]

I hate to say it, but there are solid legal reasons for doing it that way. What if someone writes a crappy short story, then a few years later some BL author writes a book that is superficially similar, having never read said short story? What if the author of the short story has an over-inflated ego and then sues for "obviously" having stolen his "masterpiece"?

Like I said, solid legal reasons.

Now, actually using that clause for anything else is pretty scummy, but you really can't tell if they will try that or not.
