Fulgrim was a factory worker growing up. He participated in strikes and labor protests.
What primarch, or hell Astartes or just legion as a whole, has been flanderized by the fandom/who do you have funny facts about that shatters popular perception? I'll go first.
Leman Russ is only pretending to be stupid and has written multiple books in lore (saw someone say more than Magnus but can't find source)
Rogal Dorn putting his hand on Konrad Curzes shoulder after trying to talk him out of killing some people who resisted the crusade (and Konrad being uncomfortable with Dorns "fake friendship".)
‘No,’ said Dorn, placing a golden gauntlet on his shoulder guard. ‘We are liberators, not destroyers, brother. We bring the light of illumination, not death. We must govern with benevolence if these people are ever to recognise our authority in this galaxy.’ Curze flinched at the touch, resenting the easy friendship Dorn pretended. Bilious anger bubbled invisibly beneath his skin, but if Dorn was aware of it, he gave no sign.
Lorgar (upon having his prayer session with the boys interrupted or whatever) told a custodian "I wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire". Lorgar also witnessed some ritual in which a naked woman is turned into a demon. So Lorgar has canocially seen a woman naked.

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.

Life is unfair. That's why we should be.
my mum was googling for an article about why everyone in the lord of the rings film is white (like to be clear she was annoyed by this) and the google ai was apparently like “everybody in the lord of the rings is not white. gandalf is grey.”
"My ignorance is as good as your knowledge" but leftist.
its scientifically proven and for some people its a religious thing. it goes hand in hand with manifestation and subliminals. stop fucking posting about something u dont understand. u sound like an idiot
SHOW ME THE STUDY
Wait, you're telling me that plate mail, which people were relying on to keep themselves alive, is well-designed? Inconceivable!
He's the best primarch for a reason.
The silly series continues.

What do you take him for? Some kind of scientist?
I like to imagine Cawl making AI copies of Pre-Heresy Fulgrim and Ferrus (something along the vibe of Bile making Clonegrim and Cawl making AI Roboute) but he hides them inside a computer or something so no one can find it, and these two living AI copies are kinda just chilling in a made up world together, thinking this is reality and that they're in a time of peace post-crusade and forging weapons every day to pass the time.
Can you imagine something like San Junipero from Black Mirror? Where these two are still close and happy together, living in a fake world inside a computer/simulation (╥ᆺ╥;)
It's a case of something I've actually seen in myself, where they're so set in their ways and beliefs that the idea of "someone", as in, a distant unknown figure, would disagree with them. Sure, they might know a person who does, but that's a *That Person* thing, they only do it because they're "weird". They see something they like, and to them of *course* it agrees with them, because to them, it has no reason not to.
They're like the Emperor. They're so sure that they're right that they can't comprehend some "sane, informed, and reasonable" person disagreeing with them.
So apparently on twitter there's a whole thing going on where anti-woke Warhammer fans performatively stormed out by declaring that they were going to play the horror-themed WWI wargame Trench Crusade instead, only to be mass-banned from its discord because the moderators didn't want a bunch of paleocon trolls stinking up the place.
The thing that blows my mind isn't just that they thought the thoroughly subversive Trench Crusade was positive Christian rep, but that they thought Warhammer 40,000 was. The setting where the messiah is explicitly dead and rotting and was an anti-religion crusader in life. Meanwhile Warhammer Fantasy's Sigmar is much more Thor than Jesus. A lot of conservative evangelicals and tradcaths seem to fall into liking straight up pagan gods if they have a sufficiently macho and traditionalist (western European) aesthetic.
Honestly, this is beyond media illiteracy, it's just straight-up blindness. Obliviousness beyond even the people who think Robocop and Starship Troopers are gung-ho pro-American action movies. Now I'm left to wonder how many fans of the Blasphemous game series are passionate reactionary Christians who get the happy feelings from the aesthetics and totally ignore the story and themes.
Still, I am glad to have learned about Trench Crusade through this, looks like a cool game. Aesthetic and themes kind of remind me of the Trench Foot/Countrycide mod for Doom (which, granted, started off as a Warhammer 40K mod...).
