in angel exterminatus, fulgrim shows up on the planet hydra cordatus to link up with his boy perturabo. he tells perturabo that he has to tell him about something, but needs the iron warriors to build him a giant amphitheater in order for him to do so. they build him the amphitheater and he comes out wearing heels made out of living slaves, crushing them underfoot, absolutely mogging everyone. he tells perturabo about this cool thing he found and says their legions need to team up and go check it out. after all of this, he is still vague. a raven guard sniper shoots him in the head at some point. this sequence didnt need to be several pages long. youd think a 40k novel would discard the frivolous shit and focus squarely on the bit about fulgrim getting shot at a gathering. but it doesn't, because all of the bloat in horus heresy novels is variable levels of describing fulgrims outfit
and this is like, every 30k/40k book. for all people complain and whine and bitch about bolter porn I wish even 1/3 of 40k books were that interesting. really it is just transhumans standing around having a kiki and at the end they shoot some guys. maddening hobby to have I tell you
Made out of living slaves? How the fuck is that even possible!? Lord!
