warhammer authors yearn for large, naked, transhuman men

I cannot stress enough this is page one

Guy Haley is so gay about Blood Angels.

Like, imagine him sitting down to write and thinking: "hmm, why don't I describe how their muscular sweaty man-boobs touched each other in a purely brotherly way? Oh, and I should repeat a couple of times (for emphasis) that they stood very close to each other."

It's so funny to me that Konrad Curze goes out of his way to frame Sevatar fighting alongside him in the battle that lead to Sevatar being MIA as totally Sev's idea and not at all something he demanded.

Like he clocked that Sev was either dead or missing based on context clues, thought "...Ohhh shit" and immediately went with "Well, last I saw him, he was insisting on fighting the Dark Angels with me, which I obviously didn't want at all"

And I know it's from two books from two different authors, but I feel like it's intentional because it's so on brand with Curze's personal credo of "I have never done anything wrong. In fact, I'm probably the victim here, if you think about it"

EDIT TO ADD: it's also super funny to frame it as "I lost him as I fought the Lion" when Sevatar's perspective is Curze booking it and abandoning His Boys the second he realized he was losing

'I have the manual dexterity of a Legio Cybernetica battle automaton! Guilliman said. 'Created by the Lord of All Mankind, master of the greatest armies in the Imperium, and I cannot pick up a plastek flimsy.’ He glared at the offending articles. 'My greatest enemy.' There was a thoughtful quiet. "You are joking, my lord?' said Sicarius. Guilliman looked at Sicarius. He had to turn all the way around to do so. The pauldrons, ornamental wings and large halo mounted on his back made it impossible for him to see over his shoulder. At least he had stopped knocking into things. There was that. ‘By the Throne, why am I expected to be serious at all times? Yes, Captain Sicarius, I am making light of my predicament.'

Corax: Lord of the Shadows, chapter 3

Objectively, Guilliman could only be accused of vanity when it came to displaying how sensible he was. He put a lot of effort into that, sometimes comically so, Corax thought; he was so desperate to show off how unshowy he was. He suspected Guilliman hid a large ego and a terrible temper under his rational exterior, although on that score Corax had no right to judge him. He had both himself. Still, there it was. Corax was engineered to hide, but he did not hide what he was. Not like his brother.

But when Guilliman arrived, he shamed Corax for his harsh judgment. There was only dignified solicitude in his bearing.

‘I am sorry to keep you waiting, my brother,’ Guilliman said.

You know, regardless of how many heroic and worthy sons the other primarchs were blessed with, only Curze had Sevatar for his son, so imho he's the winner there

Drew the scene from memory and it looks like I have very conveniently compressed a few paragraphs into one fresco scene, yay!

This style brings me emotional comfort 😇
