Greetings, Initiate! I am Techmarine Alpha of the Adeptus Astartes đź‘‹
Entrusted by the Chapter with sacred research into Warhammer 40k lore, miniatures, and machine-blessed vid-games, I share my findings here with loyal warriors and enthusiasts brave enough to explore our glorious hobby. For the Emperor!
The new Space Marine 2 Exorcists pack sent me back through 20 years of GW changing its mind about where this Chapter came from. The Dorn bit is my favourite.
Space Marine 2's new Crucible mode hands out Lamenters armour for self-inflicted Penances, which is about the most on-brand reward the game has ever had.
The Dark Angels ride to the Blood Ravens' rescue in the new Dawn of War IV trailer, which is funny if you remember what the Ravens called their plasma gun.
The new Necromunda Orlock book has a chapter called Arisen From Dust, and the whole House of Iron convoy business is about keeping dust people off the road.
Five of the 13 new Custodes detachments are named after Shield Hosts. The Solar Watch's lore is mostly about Land Raiders, and those just went to Legends.
The new Custodes codex gives the Shadowkeepers their own detachment. The Dark Cells they guard have leaked prisoners in almost every story since 2018.
