omg I love the face tentacles

It's probably my second favorite hybrid head coming just after the Tyrant Guard one. Nicked it from a box of Acolytes I bought myself and used it instead of the normal head for the Iconward.

I'm actually really surprised at how may spare arms and heads come in the Acolyte box. I might have to do a flurry of conversions using my Skitarii parts and fluff my army as being one of the cults that's successfully taken over a Forgeworld. A Primus with a mix of augmetics and vile xenos mutations should look really damn cool.

Anyone know where I can get a full list of archeotech from? The ones I've found have been fragmentary and the one on Lexicanum is...anemic to say the least.

EDIT: Also there's apparently this "Fall of Cadia" thing going on? Anyone know what that's about?

[Tack]

Cadia already fell. This is a rewrite- but by the sounds of it, a good one.
More AoE type dealie, seems.

Spoiler: Basically: (click to show/hide)

 Cadian pylons are activated using Necron (and apparently Old Ones) know-how, Eye of Terror gets pushed back by bigass black lazor beam and starts to shrink but something goes wrong in the process and shit explodes and Cadia is engulfed in a warp storm. Hilarity ensues, Creed loses an limb but is saved by band of roaming Vostroyans. Failbaddon gets stabbed through the spine by Saint Celestine. Time traveling Inquisitor appears.

And that in just one book from a series called "Gathering Storm" or something along the lines... PLOT ADVANCEMENT, BATTLE BROTHERS, PREPARE FOR THE PLOT ADVANCEMENT!

Spoiler: So bascially (click to show/hide)

Everyone loses, but mostly the bad guy loses

[Kot]

Spoiler: Basically yes (click to show/hide)

Well, Cadia explodes, second biggest (after Krieg, Cadians are fucking everywhere, quite literally too) and one of best (Rip violet eyed bastards, for all the hate I gave you for blandness, you fought for The Emperor and I'm gunna miss ye) Imperial Guard factories around. Abaddon caused Cadia to dissapear, but Creed & Friends reactivated Pylons. Thanks to that the explosion makes the Cadian Gate approximately three times bigger and Chaos loses their major entry point. The instability in warp caused a lot on disturbance too, so even while Abaddon survived being stabbed theres not gonna be a major Black Crusade anytime soon.
Also, that time traveling Inquisitor apparently belives Celestine to be a traitor and a witch, so there's that. Also, one gotta to apreciatte the irony of Abaddon cutting off Creeds arm.

In the end this isint a complete fuckup like AoS or those multiple End Times from FB, as status quo is more or less mantained for now, but its a cool piece of lore that gives hope for some Fun Times.

So Cadia is actually gone now, instead of being "Blockaded, but held"?
I'm kind of glad. It seemed like a cop-out how they last wrote it.

[TempAcc]

What about all that thing about space wolves going all FURRY RAEG mode and magnus deciding he's relevant again and actualy doing shit? :U

[Kot]

Thats TTS.
I always liked the concept of Cadia, but there have always been too many "closest calls" when it was almost lost. With the amount of power here I would think that either Chaos never really comes close or they conquer it outright.

Magnus was beaten by Logan Grimnar in combat, the Axe of Morkai Grimnar wields used to be the axe of a khorneate champion before the space wolves melted it down, sanctified it and reforged it, the lingering chaos power in it allowed it to bypass wards Magnus had that made him immune to Imperial weapons.

Despite being driven off, Magnus, his giant army of daemons and the Thousand Sons managed to essentially genocide the natives of Fenris. There are no longer enough Canis Helix compatible humans to support the Space Wolves chapter, dooming them to a slow lingering death similar to the one the Sons themselves suffered. The 1K Sons basically pulled a Prospero on the Wolves as a form of twisted revenge for the death of their own homeworld so long ago. The remaining 1K Sons retreated once Magnus was banished.

What few Wolves remain are implied to be preparing to throw themselves in the path of the Black Crusade.

holy shit plot advancement batman

[nenjin]

Magnus is written like such a pussy. Can you seriously think of another primarch, daemon-primarch or not, that got beaten by a Space Marine? I'm not sure Magnus has ever succeeded at ANYTHING.

-Curing his legion? Fucked that up.
-Arguing for psykers at the Council of Nikea? Fucked that up.
-Contacting the Emperor? Fucked that up.
-Didn't let himself bargain with Warp Powers? Fucked that up, TWICE.
-Defending Prospero? Fucked that up.
-Fought Leman Russ? Fucked that up.
-Leveraging his daemon form for something tangible? Fucked that up for 10,000 years until now, apparently.

slow lingering death

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving chapter.

Do you think it's him being written as a pussy, or Wolves fanboying?

He's been written as a failure by multiple authors. So I don't think it's Wolves fanbois so much as some general GWS decision that he should be "the tragic sorcerer", i.e., a total fuckup who only can use magic to fuck himself over. He can read the skein of time like no other, but has that ever helped him even once? No. He's essentially written like Roboute Guillman + Magic. I may hate Space Wolves but holy fuck, at least Leman Russ was written with some balls attached to him.

It is not like such list exists, because
1) there is FUCKHUEG ammount of them in every rogue trader/dark heresy books/codex mechanicus/30k codexes
2) Archeotech is commonly used as an excuse for plot advancement/making up plot/doing whatever author wants to do, so probably every 1/5 40k stories will have mention of archeotech
