Had he not fallen, he would have been the best primarch. He was someone who cared about the common people of the Imperium, believing that each had the potential to do great things, if only they were given the chance. He conquered worlds through sheer charisma, not just military force.
It should be noted, however, that the Laer Blade wasn't the sole reason behind his fall, merely the tipping point. It latched onto his insecurities about needing to be good enough, and fed them until they consumed him. At the same time, the legion was being corrupted by similar insecurities--Bile's experimentation to integrate the Laer's stuff was done on Eidolon's orders, not Fulgrim's, and it's implied that Eidolon was actually going against Fulgrim's orders in doing so.
🥀 The Fall of Fulgrim
-I've yet to finish his books but I cannot fathom the wasted potential Fulgrim would've had if only he did not pick up that damn sword.
(art by me)
Still new in the warhammer fandom but I've been enjoying my time making primarch pieces
AO3 has a wonderfully built tag system, in my opinion. If you don't want to see something in a search, you can literally just scroll down and edit the "exclude" tags.
Honestly the tags is one of the biggest reasons why I prefer it over FF.net. You can often get an idea of what's in a story beyond just the summary.
Being a pro censorship ao3 user is so insanely cringe. Either use the (incredibly effective and well designed) filtering system to avoid seeing the shit you don't like or stop complaining. Leave the pro censorship rhetoric to Wattpad or smth
Each of the base marine detachments except for First Company is designed to be particularly fitting for one of the codex-compliant first founding chapters.
Anvil Siege Force: Imperial Fists
Stormlance Assault Force: White Scars
Ironstorm Spearhead: Iron Hands
Gladius Task Force: Ultramarines
Firestorm Assault Force: Salamanders
Vanguard Spearhead: Raven Guard
They are also pretty blatant about which chapter they correspond to. Anvil has an enhancement related to the chapter fleet, which seems like it comes out of the blue until you realize that the Imperial Fists have always had a pretty important and powerful fleet.
Ah classic GW, going out there proclaiming the "year of chaos" or whatever and then on the reveal show that has all established chaos legions primed they show off more new/refreshed models for some redundant cringe Space Marine offshoot than the actual chaos factions get.
In addition, they somehow imply to make Imperial Fists and Salamanders unique factions BEFORE Drukhari is even on the horizon for a Codex. Just what is up with that?
GW, what the hell?
I mean, it's a pretty impressive gun. It's basically a souped-up meltagun, and while it's pretty much single-shot, it'll be one nasty shot.
Imagine being threatened at gunpoint by Sanguinius. Oh no is the great angel going to smite me? Cut me down with his holy blade?
Nope, he just loads his peashooter and puts it against your head.
Military nerds be like "I can suspend my disbelief for psychic powers, artificial intelligence, brain uploading, telepathy headsets, railguns, and spider tanks, but I draw the line at effective tank armor and air defense."
people need to realise that a poor little meow meow must be a character who has committed atrocities you cannot poor little meow meow a good guy that’s not how this works
Unless you top, in which case you get "Iron Without."
If you fuck an iron warrior this pops up
Ironic that a book about women writers and feminism starts its chapter on science fiction by ignoring the presence of a very important woman writer.
The Emerald Wings have three distinctive patterns of jump packs, all of which are unique to the chapter, and have become all but synonymous with their methods of war.
The Hayabusa-pattern is the primary pattern of jump pack used by the chapter. It is similar in capabilities to the common Mars-pattern jump pack, with slightly different internal components--parts are not interchangeable between the two.
The Shokaku-pattern, also known as the Shokaku-pattern heavy lift jump pack is a larger jump pack with significantly more thrust than the Hayabusa-pattern, at the cost of pretty much everything else. The Shokaku-pattern jump packs have less endurance, are less maneuverable, are more difficult to produce, and are more difficult to maintain. It does have compatible parts with the Hayabusa-pattern, however. The Shokaku-pattern jump packs are used by many of the chapter's devastator squads.
The Ryujo-pattern jump packs are highly advanced, and are incredibly expensive and difficult to produce. It is used only by the chapter command and the sanguinary guard. The Ryujo-pattern is faster and more maneuverable than the Hayabusa- and Mars-patterns, with the chapter's elites being trained to wield these jump packs like an extension of their own bodies.
Starting a lore dump on my homebrew chapter (Yes, the blog is named after them)
Founded in the Eighth Founding, the Emerald Wings were one of a few chapters created at the time to carry on the legacy of Sanguinius.
Since their founding, they have earned a reputation for a mastery of aerial warfare, making heavy use of aircraft, skimmers, and jump packs. Aircraft and jump packs in particular are central to the Emerald Wings' doctrines, to the point where they are the biggest points of divergence between the chapter and the Codex Astartes.

Google Astolfo.
If female space marines aren't canon then explain HER^
Femboys, Warhammer 40,000, Battleships, and whatever else crosses my mind
