The [http://s6.invisionfree.com/bljunkies/index.php?showtopic=1111 Age of Dusk] (updates [http://www.thebolthole.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=231 here]) is the sequel to Lord Lucan's monumental [[Warhammer 40000]] fanfic [[The Shape of the Nightmare to Come]], but covers the 51-61st millenia instead of the 42nd-51st millenia.
Line 41:
* [[Enemy Mine]]: Vulkan's Imperium is in a huge one with the {{spoiler|Realm of Fathers}}, who, while {{spoiler|gene stealer cultists or pure breeds to a man or alien}}, are far too industrially vital and heavily armed to destroy without crippling the Imperium. The new Space Marines, particularly the Fire Beasts, may not like them, but they will use weapons built by them and fight beside the Cultists as long as the Pure Strains are kept out of sight.
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Corsair Lord Zelphagor is horrified that the now-corrupted Mephiston would go so far as to desecrate and bind the Sanguinor, the avatar of the Blood Angels' memories of their fallen primarch.

Even the vile Zelphagor was taken aback at this sight. }}
* [[Evil Versus Evil]]: Kaldor Draigo, favored Angyl Prince of the Star Father, versus the corrupt rulers of Grand Sicarium.
Line 58 ⟶ 60:
*** Of course, this took place in a warp storm as bad if not worse than the eye of terror, and we all know how such regions of space scoff at our universe's notion of linear time.
* [[Future Imperfect]]: Probably done intentionally with Grand Sicarium's myth about the creation of the Space Marines:

* [[Galactic Conqueror]]: Abbadon the Despoiler owns the entire Segmentum Tempestus, which is a pretty big step-up from his 40K incarnation as [[General Failure]]-- right up until {{spoiler|Erebus betrays him for the Draziin-maton and wrecks the whole Western Chaos Imperium}}.
* [[Gone Horribly Right]]: The resurrection of Khaine. The Dark Eldar seem to have ignored how close his ties to Khorne really were...
