What are your thoughts on the wonderful relationship between Alexis Polux and Barabas Dantioch? To be honest, the last scene between them made me tear up.
Thank you for your question, Anon!
But, as can be deducted from Lucius' "I'm a clueless bitch"-face, I don't have an answer! Honestly, I haven't read much about these two so far. I liked the Battle of Phall, because Polux tore Perturabo's arrogant naval officers a new one while constantly underestimated. And a few years ago I read Unremembered Empire, but I do not remember much (*cough* anything at all) about Dantioch. (Unremembere Empire is up for re-read. A few novels suddenly appeared and had to be read, so this endeavor was put on hold)
I can't remember anything about a bromance, but maybe this is later on?
Your ask has motivated me to look for novels featuring these two, so I can contribute to the discourse. I'm really looking forward to this.
That's a great example why I love asks!

Just in case anyone doubts that practicing helps you learn-
The first two are my FIRST attempts at felting. Like, ever. They were from Daiso kits, and are so lumpy and FUZZY.
The second two, Dantioch and Polux, are my first attempts at making astartes/humanoid dolls. Look at how tiny they are! Less fuzzy, still adorable. Dantioch is my favorite because I'm sentimental <3
The last two are my most recent dolls, Furio (for @fuukonomiko ) and Belial. They're bigger, have swivel joints, and I beat my ass to make them detailed.
tldr; PRACTICE IS GOOD

It has been brought to my attention that the chap with the scythe has a rather... familiar looking helmet:

Djem's Legion Thoughts
About three years ago my brother joking suggested I read the Horus Heresy, knowing literally nothing about Warhammer. (Literally nothing. I just thought Space Marines were big dudes in armor and I had never heard of Primarchs and I still know nothing of 40k. Have no idea how the Heresy ends--I'm spoiler free babes.) Anyway, what follows are my feelings on each Legion at the following times:
As of midway through Fulgrim
At the end of First Heretic
At the start of the Master of Mankind
Halfway through the Siege
This is very long. I'm not sorry.
Dark Angels
idk I haven’t met them yet, but their name tells me they are either going to be amazing or fucking awful
Um I still dk
God I fucking love these stupid idiots. Like, they are stupid, for sure, but I dunno, I dig their bizarre sort of pseudosecrecy thing. Plus, aesthetically I’m all about weird monk orders. Also, nothing kills me quite like Farith Redloss having anxiety attacks over trying to figure out Lion.
Corswain showing up like the living embodiment of the dude with the pizza where the apartment is on fire is just so deeply on brand for these chucklefucks like, Lion is all “I’m deeply uncomfortable where Imperial Secundus is concerned so instead I’ll just go ahead and attack home planets because that will demoralize the traitors and then I’m Doing My Part” like fam, pretty much all the traitors sans Perturabo are actual literal demons rn and they all had zero qualms betraying their immediate brothers and also the emperor (and Perturabo already fucked over his own) why in the livid fuck would you think this is in any way helpful, but this is Classic Lion and I love him now on account of that one time when he hugged Roboute because he was proud of him and also because he calls all of his sons “Little Brother” bc he is afraid of being a dad and also because I too am deeply avoidant of issues I don’t want to deal with.
Emperor's Children
mostly wonderful, because they are fabulous and also extremely extra, but they have the most ginourmous fuckwad as a Lord Commander, BUT they have a very good boy as another one, so idk really. Plus the whole betrayal thing and the fucking lodges, but they are purple and fabulous, so, +1?
These are the saddest boys ever in the whole world, and they didn’t deserve what happened to them. I loved them all except for Eidolon and they didn’t deserve anything bad to happen to them ever bc they were precious and I loved them. Also Fabius because he was bugnuts and he hurt my boys.
Jesus, I’m so fucking over them all
Honestly I’m so tired
Iron Warriors
I totally confused them with the Iron Hands. Idk even, boring? But Perturabo (while he has a fucking terrible name) also hates Horus so +15
I still know nothing about them, but I think they are buttholes because of the whole Isstvan V thing. Dick move guys, dick move.
I literally can’t. Like, their entire shtick is besieging and being besieged, and then being pissy bc it is what they are good at???? Like, they are literally traitoring bc their dad got a hair up his ass bc he wasn’t a good independent thinker and didn’t think he was allowed to build castles or whatever? Idk they are exhausting except for the ones that aren’t
I still don’t really get them at all except like 99% of them who aren’t named Barabas Dantioch are asshats and are not independent thinkers who are literally still traitoring for reasons unknown except to stick it to the emperor like?? Get an actual culture??? Just literally stop???
White Scars
I dunno, haven’t met them, but since no one else talks about them, I’m gonna guess, boring?
I dunno but they are worried about them hooking up with the Rout so I guess they are cool?
Oh bless your tiny little souls. They are so sweet, and so, so dumb. But sweet.
They are very, very good boys. They don’t have a ton of range per say but their simplicity is sort of the point I think. They are what space marines are supposed to be, and I love them for that
Space Wolves
ehm, oh, I’m sorry, The Rout. Whateverthefuck, they’re boring, over-the-top fuckheads who are giant fucking hypocrites who suck and probably don’t ever shower. Honestly, they rival the Emperor’s Children in extraness, and not in the loveable way. Fucking awful, 0/10.
Okay, honestly, not as awful as some. I mean, hella extra and I hate what they did at Prospero, but in a world full of awful things, we gotta pick and choose.
They are just so, so...Space Wolfy. Bless them they try, and some of them legit crack me up. I’m just not about their aesthetic, you know?
Much like the other fuckups amongst the Loyalists, they are a blunt instrument used for a specific purpose and do better with like...direct instruction. I’m saying they are not the kind to do well with metaphor and also a lack of like, a dad. They need TE:BBA is what I’m saying.
Imperial Fists
Literally only met them briefly, but they seem a good sort. I like their Primarch? -3 tho cause damn that color scheme.
Still good boys.
Omg I love you all, you precious little bbs. They are just so calm and stoic and honestly even though yellow is a hideous color they are literally like Templars and that is fantastic?????
Listen, the amount of love that I have in my heart for these precious, perfect boys is rivaled only by my love for Rogal Dorn, who might possibly be, and I don’t wanna sound dramatic here, be the love of my life but anyway.
Night Lords
idk but their name sounds sick.
Right, these guys are also dicks. I hate them on principle.
Every time I think of them all I can think of is that one video of the goths dancing under the bridge. They are so. Fucking. Extra. Christ alive, get a hobby that isn’t fucking skinning people.
Yeah idk they still mostly suck and to be perfectly honest I’m still not entirely sure what their point was, even pre-heresy? Like what role did psychopaths play in TE:BBA’s plan for a glorious human empire, someone explain
Blood Angels
I dunno cause I’ve only ever met their First Captain (who was consorting with fuckheads) but Sanguinius is literally Top Tier Fabulous, like Prince Extra, so I hope they don’t let me down
I’m still holding out hope. Don’t let me down boys.
OH. MY. GOD. Honestly, kill me, I love them so, so, so, so, so much, it’s a lot. And I suspect something terrible will happen with them but I don’t care because they are perfect. All of them. Wonderful, perfect, lovely, caring boys who love their dad and I love them. Sweet, loving, precious little bbs who occasionally suffer from tragic vampiric tendencies but I don’t love them any less. They better stay perfect forever. If I could, I would be like Sangy and just take them all everywhere with me so that they could always be safe <3 On a less gushy note, I think one of the most important aspects of the Blood Angels (and of their primarch) is that while they acknowledge their differences from unmodified humans, they also love humanity, deeply. They see them as worth fighting for and protecting, and acknowledge that their abilities allow them to create a universe that is safe for the common man to live in. There is a sort of profound love and tenderness that they have for humanity, and I think it really does make a difference in their legion. (That scene is Master of Mankind with the Blood Angel and the Custodian really highlights what I’m saying here.)
Listen, this may sound dramatic, and I don’t wanna like, go over the top, but I would literally die for them, which would seem counterproductive since that is what they do for humanity but the amount of love of I have for this entire legion and one Angel is too big to contain in my heart okay
Iron Hands
I don’t know them well yet, but they seem like good boys overall. I’m sure one of them is bound to be a crazy fucker tho.
They are good boys. I don’t know them very well, but my favorite moment is when Ferrus had to thank Lorgar for his help so he made him a crozius and then threw it at him because he didn’t want to have to talk awkwardly.
Poor sad bbs
No, but really, poor sad bbs
World Eaters
literally terrible people, but I guess when your Dad is bugnuts….
Definitely should have been put down. As in to death. They should have been killed. Probably.
Still fucking crazy. But I love Kharn, and honestly Lotara (who I know isn’t technically a World Eater but close enough.)
No but they probably should have all been just euthanized? I mean not Kharn bc I love him but also like--they are not viable. Long term? Tbh still not entirely sure what TE:BBA’s plan was here with them and Angron (I’m gonna assume something along the lines of ignore it and hope it goes away, since that is mostly his plan for everything)
Ultramarines
probably enormous squares, but tbh in a galaxy with World Eaters and the Rout, we could do with some squares.
Honestly, I have no issues with them. They do their duty, they are loyal. I hope to love them though. They actually believe in colors.
HOLY FUCK DO I LOVE THEM. ALL 200,000 OF THEM. (Which is probably what Roboute thinks tbh.) Like, I literally haven’t met a single one that I don’t adore and love with my whole soul and entire being. They are precious, soft, beautiful bbs who I adore with my whole heart. And who will make great leaders of the world someday I’m so proud. On a less gushy note, much like the Blood Angels, the Ultramarines really have a sort of profound feeling of protection and duty towards humans. They may not always like dealing with them, but Roboute is of the firm belief that they must understand what they are truly fighting for. Saving humanity is not enough, you have to fight for the humans who live there. (See, the one short story where they find a baby and I died.)
No but what you don’t quite get is that I literally love them. Every single individual solitary one of them, and while some may say “But Djem such a thing is impossible you haven’t met every Ultramarine” I need you to understand that the depth of my love for them and their Primarch is such that I know, in my bones, that I don’t need to meet them all to love them okay bc I already do.
Death Guard
Okay, so honestly I wanted to hate them (because BETRAYAL) but tbh its only the First and Second Captains who suck a lot and idk really the rest are sort of tragically precious??
Seriously, what is Mortarion’s issue?
No, seriously, what the fuck is their problem? Get the fuck over it.
Okay, I do feel bad. For Mortarian. Of all the traitors, him I understand the most. However, that being said, while I can understand his issues, I feel like giving yourself over to demons, turning into actual demons, and also turning on and killing your brothers who refused to become said demons makes you terrible awful people who really need to like, die.
Thousand Sons
okay, I fucking love these lame Warrior Monk Priest Wizards who live in a literal glass city with restaurants and teach random people Tai Chi in the park or whatever. Overall 10/10
I am v. worried that they are going to do something dumb like join the rebellion in order to affect change from the inside and then like, adopt demons or something. Pls don’t be dumb boys.
I don’t even fucking--look, I’m just tired okay?
What the fuck Azhek. No seriously, ⅞ is good enough? What the fuck is wrong with you?
Sons of Horus? Luna Wolves? who the fuck knows
my precious sons. You did not deserve what was done to you. This is why we don’t do frats. I believed in you and you failed me. D:
I love my precious sons. The Sons of Horus however, can go die.
I just--why are you the way you are?
I think the best thing about these absolute morons is that half the legion isn’t even demon fuckers, they just woke up one day and Horus told them to kill their brothers and they went “sure okay” and then just did. They are so fucking pretentious and stupid, fucking speartip, honestly die. I take it back. You all deserved exactly what you got, you dumb fucks.
Word Bearers
look, I haven’t met the rest of these dudes yet, but Erebus is a terrible fucking ambassador. -60/10 for not controlling their boy
HOLY LORD. I cannot--there are not actually words to describe how much I loathe these ignorant dumbasses. Like, seriously. Honestly, the ones who were purged were probably lucky, because the rest of them fucking suck.
God, eat a fucking landmine. Except, that would probably turn them on or something. Fucking assholes.
Just--imagine being such a fuckup that even when you were the first to the “become a demon, save the world” thing you still somehow ended up last. I hope the Ultramarines put down every. Single. One.
Salamanders
idk but this name is dumb. Salamanders are cute and slimy, and while Astartes are fucking adorable, they are not slimy. -1 for the dumb name
They are loyal, which is cool, and they seem like chill bros.
I just, like, they are sweet, but good lord are they simple.
I’m not sure? What they are doing? With their lives? Guys, idk if anyone told you but like, um. There is a war. And I get they’ve had it rough but also the loyalists could use their hope so maybe, idk. Do something? I mean I know there are like, 50 of you left and also you think your dad is dad and I feel you but like-
Raven Guard
idk but I like Ravens and Black, plus their Primarch’s name is Corvus? 11/10 they better not suck.
OMG I love Corvus?? Flies with a giant jetpack and tried to gut Lorgar? Yeah, he’s wonderful. Plus, their Captain seemed cool before he was fucking murdered.
I love them all, bless. They are sweet and simple and kind of stupid, but they make me feel things in my heart, so like, idk, stay precious.
Look, I cried over Branne fucking Nev, I don’t wanna talk about it rn
Alpha Legion
seriously? Lame.
Fuck these guys. What is their deal?
I can’t even really. I really, truly can’t. Nothing has ever satisfied me the way I was satisfied when Alpharius literally lost his head. God, that was beautiful.
Or Omegon? It was actually Omegon? I don’t even know anymore man

Horus literally spaced shiploads of innocent men, women, and children. When shown a vision of the horror he’d become, he accepted his fate because daddy had hurt his feelings once.
Konrad Curze wiped out the planet Nostramo, including the families of most of his Nostramam legionnaires. He continuously tortured Vulkan to death again and again and again.
At Calth alone, Lorgar massacred over one billion innocent people. He allowed a man he knew was corrupted by chaos - a man so loathsome Horus actually tore off his face with his bare hands -to incite a rebellion that burned half of the galaxy to ash.
Magnus sacrificed the entire population of a planet in a way abhorrent even to Perturabo in order to prevent the escape of a daemon and then allowed the daemon to escape -anyway- because it shared knowledge with him.
Mortarion deliberately infected refugee ships. He tortured, executed, or lobotomized the psykers in his Legion who could not suppress their abilities.
Perturarbo strangled his own - innocent - sister to death. He allowed thousands of his Astartes to die on a pointless campaign against the Hrud and then exiled his best Warsmith, Barabas Dantioch, because the latter saved the rest. He decimated his own Legion to enforce their compliance when first introduced to them. He committed so many war crimes on Olympia that he felt he had no choice but to turn to Horus, since they were unforgivable even by his own estimation.
I find it amusing that you hold these men up as paragons of virtue, Little Mortal. Most amusing indeed.

Thoughts of Barabas Dantioch and Kyr Vhalen?
He spent long moments examining the armory door, doubtful it would open after withstanding such damage. The whispers ebbed and flowed through his mind. He spat at the recall of Dantioch, the cur having turned his back on the legion when it needed its best and brightest. Little stirred at the name Kyr Vhalen, either emotion or recall, quite probably long dead. Neither would be aiding him now, so he dismissed thoughts of them.He moved to the door control panel and pressed several command runes, and surpisingly the machine sputtered weak, muted noises indicating it was at least partially responsive. He placed his hand against the gene scanner, which blipped feebly at him, and the door made a dull grind and clang, opening only a fraction.It would have to be enough, he knew. He stepped back to the door, leaning his powerful frame against it, his shoulder squarely wedged as his legs strained. The door remained stationary for long seconds as his muscles bunched and began to burn before the grinding returned for a few moments.He spent an indeterminate amount of time on the warp-damned world fighting to open the armory, gaining space in measures of millimeters, but eventually he succeeded in forming a gap large enough to afford him entry.Dust coated the few scattered items that remained, mostly the oldest patterns of legion wargear deemed fit to leave behind for a garrison in the event of emergency evacuation and even exterminatus. It meant he may well find something of use even after however long the armory had been left in such a state.His circuitous path allowed him to ascertain that he had several truly ancient marks of boltgun available, at least one full crate of servicable ammunition, and an array of combat knives. In the corner, he spotted a boarding shield, of all things, which would likely serve him well.It was as he pulled it from its place that he disturbed a cloth covering over storage racks he thought empty, only to reveal, in pieces and disarray, the battered components for a number of Mark II suits.His next few hours were spent in solemn, but subtly pleased, silence as he performed the rites of armament with fresh vigor.Author’s Note: Wow, the last month did not go to plan for me, though it was not exactly a bad month. In any case, it long distracted me from the blog and, most critically, did a number on my inspiration and focus. The good news is I am back and ready to keep this party rolling. Forrix has some dated kit, and it’s time to figure out where the hell (ha) he has ended up.

//Wikia reading is always a trip.
“ Unfortunately, the foundation of Imperium Secundus is marred when Night Lords Primarch Konrad Curze, who had been hiding within the bowels of the Dark Angels flagship, escapes from the Invincible Reason and rampages across Macragge, intent on spreading as much terror and chaos as he can. Eventually, both Guilliman and the Lion confront the cornered Curze. Their attempt to kill him are unsuccessful as the Night Lords Primarch had laid a cunning trap. He brings down an entire chapel upon the two Primarchs through the use of planted explosives and flees the scene. Guilliman and the Lion are only saved through the direct intervention of the Loyalist Iron Warriors Warsmith Barabas Dantioch, who was communicating with Guilliman at the time of the attack, through a portal that was opened by the Pharos. On instinct, the Warsmith reached through the portal and pulled the two Primarchs to safety on Sotha.“
@askkonradcurze You botched it. Also it would figure that the Dark Angels would be the ones to screw up so badly as to have you just hanging out on their ship.
Also, chapel? Maybe the migraines have made my brain swiss cheese. I thought the Imperial Truth was like.. “Religion bad”. Why’s there a chapel?

I'm on vacation with Barabas and Alexis in Scotland, so I'll probably be scarce around here for a few days (followed by plenty of pictures). See ya!

If Barabas Dantioch and Kyr Vhalen were still in your side, it would be the greatest moment for the Iron Warriors.
"Barbas was a fine warrior...before he blundered into that war against the Hrud. Had he found a way to de-age himself then learn from his catastrophic mistakes then I had would allow him to return...""However you are correct. It would have been marvellous."
