You gotta love this guys unchecked arrogance lol

"Yeah I get to be Great Lorgar because I'm obviously already enlightened as fuck"

So convenient that he went straight from being enlightened about the Emperor to being even more enlightened about Chaos. He didn't ever have to discard his name for any period of time while seeking enlightenment, just started out getting to be the Bearer of the Word about the One True God to then having a conversation with Ingethal and immediately being upgraded to Great Lorgar, the Most Special Boy of the Chaos Gods. It's as easy as changing his phone plan. Used to be AT&T, but Ingethal at the Verizon store helped him switch on his lunch break.

He's never had to spend a moment of his life not being the enlightened prophet of the one true religion. Wow, what are the odds. What incredible luck.

I love how you can tell from the little scripture we have from the Book of Lorgar that it's firstly a call to worship the Ruinous Powers, yes, but also a masturbatory screed about how dope he is. Hell, he goes from writing something titled the Lecticio Divinitatus to writing the Book of Lorgar.

There's a part in the First Heretic where he's writing it and commenting on how he thought his visions of a divine golden being meant the Emperor was a god, but now "...I see my own hands as I write these words. Erebus and Kor Phaeron speak the truth. My hands. They, too, are golden"

He is such a hilariously scummy lil narcissistic rat. He is very dear to me and I hope nothing good ever happens to him.

I kind of wish Games Workshop would make a "Lorgar's Daughters" type faction of Chaos Sisters of Battle. Not turned traitor from the Adepta Sororitas, but raised on daemon worlds, unholy devotees and the faithful to the Chaos Gods who are created in Lorgar's cult of Chaos Undecided.

Okay, they don't have to worship Chaos Undivided, or be Lorgar's Daughters." but I do think it'd be an interesting way of showcasing the ways Chaos creates perversions or mirrors the Imperium whenever it can. Yeah, power armor is harder to come by, but are we really going to pretend like Chaos factions don't ever hijack forge worlds, steal shipments of goods, or strip armor from slain foes?

I think there's enough room in the vast reaches of the Imperium that some daemon worlds could absolutely have a Chaos equivalent to Adepta Sororitas.

Erebus - the Black Apostle

I'm one of the maybe ten persons on earth who really love Erebus. 😀

I mean, I don't go with the "Horus removing his skin"-thing, because that's just nasty. I always find it amusing that torture and completely excessive violence to the point of ridiculousness are the norm in Warhammer, but in an almost Hollywood-Romcom-esque fashion sex is not even mentioned (or at most hinted at in an almost biblical way). Even the weirdest Slaanesh excesses are only described when someone is being eviscerated or their innermost being turned outward in some other way. Well. On the one hand, of course, I think the asexual representation is great, but somewhere the credibility suffers. Anyway, back from this digression: Erebus is very hard to like. A petty criminal who kills a true believer, takes his name and then, with brutal cunning and an "I don't care what you think" attitude, rises to become the left hand of a Primarch in order to set in motion the greatest schism in this universe with his boundless ambition.... Respect! But little love. I like how he sees himself on a par with the most powerful of the powerful. And also has no qualms about saying what he thinks in their company. No matter how often he gets punched in the mouth for it. Yes, the Warhammer universe is really rich in fascinating anti-heroes. And Erebus is definitely one of the greatest.

I've yet to decide how I handle his forehead-tattoos.
