Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Say what you will about the game, but the novel gave a CMOA to the Voice with an Internet Connection of all people. The narration keeps cutting away from Kais and Ardias fighting the Greater Daemon to Lusha and his squad suiting up in their Crisis Battlesuits. Aside from quite neat detail of how one operates a Crisis Suit, this seems quite irrelevant as you think 'so Lusha's going to go shred Chaos Marines while Kais FIGHTS THE FUCKING Big Bad!' Wrong. After Kais uses the dud bolter shell to destroy the last shrine, Lusha and the Crisis Team come screaming in and proceed to unleash Every. Single. Weapon. on their Battlesuits, blowing the Daemon back to where it came from. Awesome.
  • Aside from the CMOF which resulted, Kais blowing up the Titan is pretty awesome.

Kais: Human. Relax. (Presses detonator)

  • And Ko'vash. Hell, Ko'vash. The new Grey Knights Codex broke the base when it gave us incorruptible Grey Knights, but the novel of Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior gave us the incorruptible Ethereal, and it made perfect sense. The Daemon literally cannont grasp any sort of purchase in the guy's mind. Compared to how easily the Admiral falls, Ko'vash deserves a medal for effectively giving a Greater Daemon the finger, without saying a word. Bonus points for the Caste name of the Ethereals adding a little Fridge Brilliance, their emotions are so in check that they basically are mentally untouchable.
  • Khrone gets one for being subtle, for once, guiding Kais throughout the story.
