Sons of the Imperium! As you all well know if you have taken the time to listen to your Sector-broadcasted news network (if don't, report immediately to the next Arbites precinct or a nearby Commissar) the forces of His Most Divine Majesty, led by a Living Saint, have blasted apart the lair of heretics, traitors and foulness that was Commorragh, decadent city of the Webway!

Prayer time, as such, has been tripled and attendance in the Cathedral of the Saviour of the Emperor is mandatory at least five times per week!

Praise the God-Emperor!

Praise the God-Emperor! Now, on to the reading

Vortiboy27

I knew the Simurgh was responsible for Contessa. But it is she an ally or enemy of Chaos? Tzeentch will not let a powerful weapon like the Simurgh be independent. Also, isnt the Simurgh free from the kill all humans thing when Eidolon died? The Worm one, not the Emperor's children one...

Mordart

*sigh* I.... have to go out for like 4-5 hours. Damn it. Oh well, I'll ask the question I'm thinking anyway. How much of the Flamewroughts computer core is intact? Because it's Vulcans flagship, from the great crusade. STC templates at minimum. Star charts that have been lost. Rare vehicles. Vulcans room having Emperor knows what in it. Add in the Raven Guards stuff too. I really want to know! Damn it, did you write that in!? Gah! Obligations IRL!!!!!

Vortiboy27

I also want to ask what does Peer of the Emperor title mean? Im curious does that mean she is beholden to the Emperor as an equal? What about Aenoid, The Raven Guard survivors and even the sons of Dorn, who would most likely be the same people who would come murder-rape the Biel Tan Eldar very very thoroughly. And an Assassin and her apprentice, the Fabricator General and Mistress of the Astronomican will see the Emperor all at once or not? And will the Inquisition be appraised of the stuff revealed by Taylor and her origins plus the Necron and Eldar revelations?

Matthew Shields

Maybe I missed something but how did the Flamewrought get to Pavia? Wasn’t it coming in from a different webway gate and did it not return through the same one?

Alessandro Piva

Amazing new chapter!!! Great job @Antony444!!!

Boris Michenski

Ok... that was a real Beast of the Interlude. And it's scary that it is only the beginning. So, what do we have? Rewards, rewards, and even more rewards. Vandire will probably get even more pissed once he sees that his instruction “not a Gelt to Weaver’ was more or less ignored. Sophia got her little breakdown upon learning about Taylor, so Emperor may impart some of his wisdom to her… Dennis got a girlfriend. Leet is ready to cry. Whole fleet is ready to drink themselves to death. Astartes are thinking about joining Dawnbreaker Guard. Red Thirst is also weakening, I imagine it’s going back to what it was before death of Sanguinius – 1/10000 I think it was? And another Chapter of Blood coming to Weaver, ex Renegades. As Sons of Sanguinius are marked as Loyalist in wiki, does it means they came back and were accepted even in OTL or did they die out and got replaced? Either way, there will be grumbling about too much Astartes around Weaver. On the other hand, that way it’ll be easier to reunite 10000 for next campaign. So Constantinople in honour of Valdor, I approve. But did I understand it right? There is already grass and flowers on a planet which was poisoned 3-4 days ago? It’s a bit too much, I’d say.

frank schellingerhout

thx for the words as always that poor government official having to sign of the bounty's talk about being stuck in a rock and a hard place :d

Paul McDonnell

Every time another chapter of this comes out, my response is "Oh man that was awesome! Oh, shit, it's gonna so long before the next one ;_;" and this chapter was no different in that regard. Vandire's meltdown once it comes out that Taylor got paid out incredibly large sums of money for the bounties despite him is going to be truly awe inspiring.

A Scarecrow

By the Emperor that was a beast of a chapter... Do I remember you saying we were getting two interludes before the next arc?

Rockinalice

It was beautiful please give us more we beg of you

Guisarme

Great chapter, have a good rest now that the Emperor is done speaking through you. I imagine it's exhausting;)

Albino87

Hess reaction was funny to see, but Xanaria Lythis reaction that here apprentice have been summoned to the Imperial place was a even better one. Xanaria Lythis is going to be so unhappy when she find out that several more parahuman is in the Imperium, but she cant touch anyone of them. I can see officio assassinorum send people and try to see if parahuman power is breading true, but the chance for them to succeed in getting close to any of them is really small. Luck is having it that one of there former member already close to one in the group. And even if they do succeed it is going to be all for nothing. Keep up the good work, the Emperor protect

Guisarme

I had a question Antony, will we see a POV of the happenings on Catachan, what with half or more of the ants being given the psychic imperative to protect. I can just imagine a scene of a hunting party about to die when out of nowhere a bunch of golden ants take care of it!

Confused

Thank you for this wonderful chapter!

Thomas Miller aka Krishna123

cool, solid cool................ when I come down from the height of WH40K Super Joy I will comment some more

Remi Minjoulat

who are the two people who had the decoration "lion of terra" ?

Forgottenone

Lankovar section was my fav part this time around with space marines coming in second. Well wow amazing chapter, get all the rest you need or you could end up like Leet!

Jack

God damn it Anthony we have talked about this. Stop posting things during the wee hours of the morning some of us can’t be up 24/7 ;) but seriously i love this story and can’t wait for more. Especially the scenes where her future sub sectors get decided, might they just give her a neighboring sector or 2 at this point? Also 12 votes in the Martian parliament hot damn she is surely going to be courted at this point for her votes but probably more importantly her clout since her backing for something would bring a lot of it.

Vega

This chapter was amazing and there were a lot of things I wanted to comment on, but as soon as I saw that Pierre still had his pirate hat I knew none of them mattered anymore and I was happy

Guisarme

Antony, I thought of another question to bother you with, how did the "new cataphracts" aka super heavy tanks with smaug cannon do in the battle?

Arnold Hita

You sir, are magnificent evil bastard. SOO MANY CLIFF HANGERS!!!!

Silver Wolf

Did the Sons of Sanguinius defect in the OTL, and if so, how were they not executed?

10moorem

You make sure you rest up after writing that beast of an interlude!

Sebastian Rubin

... Subscribing to you so I can have these updates a few weeks early was possibly the best choice I made in the last ten years or so.

primus

Are the Ecclesiarchy trying to turn Weaver into a quadrant ruler?

Bent Alex Rane Bundgaard

Hmmm lets see now. 1 Penitent Chapter (Sons of Sangiunus) 3 New Established Chapters (3 Legion' hope. : Dorns Legacy : Salamanders 2nd) 1 Brothers of the Red. 1 Iron Drakes (Tough motherfuckers) Company + sized force of Black Templars (Likely to be used to train the new Imperial Fist decendant Chapter) Increased Dawnbreaker Guard (40+) Some Liasons from some of the 1st Founding (and 2nd) incl some of the Ultra Marine Chapters involved in the second ½ of the conflict (Liasons = max 5) Heracles Warden (Shared with the Inquisition) max 500 over the next couple of decades (20 to 30 years) Weaver Chapter size (Which is codex compliant whether the high Lords wishes it or not) max 1442 (NOT counting neophytes/scouts) due to the limitation of Librarians available, numbers would likely rarely exceed 1350 by much. All in all effectively there should be 8300 + Astartes available after +20 years (not counting running losses) Due to Bacta some of the Astartes that normally would be transferred to Dreadnught chassis wont be needed to, on the other hand some of the ones that would have outright died can know be at least somewhat saved (Bacta can't repair what isn't there) which means the number of Astartes that might be able to be transferred to *coffins* before their true Death (Astartes can die more than once and still survive) and considering that more than a 1000 Astartes lost that ability to continue figthing permanently (By WoG, the Holy Anthony) on one hand the Astartes princible opponents used many exoteric weapons, on the other relatively few where the Weapons (Heavy mostly) that could outright vaporized an Astartes. The Q is Holy Anthony, just how many is going to be interred in Dreadnaught suits?, a good rule of thumb i think is that 7-8 in a thousand against opponents that LIKES to use Heavy Weapons and Artillery, in this case it is Pirates and Drukhari so maybe more like 5 to10%

Matt.Silver

I wonder if the Salamanders would be interested in using Dragon Armours to host some of their crippled Brothers instead of the usual Dreadnaughts?

Cactuspunch

“Victor believed it was to ask for more food and more caresses.” Clearly Lisa has her priority’s in line.

Regan

Great! Also, did Taylor just accidentally the nova-terra issue? Also I love how one craft world has decided to be very sensible and friendly the surviving pirate “king of common sense” XD

GAMB42

There is just too much fun in this chapter. We have unreal numbers making Taylor wealthy beyond our crazier dreams, We have the dawnbreaking approaching company size numbers. We get the Simurgh showing up and going all Here's johnny! Damn cliffs striking again! But honestly the best impressions come from the funnier parts: Our new favored squat slayer is emptying entire starship holds, Dennis does a lot of fraternization and Leet is seeing Glorious Doom approaching while Lisa has her priorities straight (Sugar!). And finally Wei is gonna have to invest in sleep masks. But a couple of questions remains: How many chapters are gonna end following Weaver around ? Is she gonna end up going full collector on the astartes ? Because she is only missing space wolves and iron hands for the full loyalist legions set. And lastly are we at some point getting into your version of what happened to the lost primarchs and their legions ? Somewhere in the future maybe ?

Remi Minjoulat

silly question: what does it mean to be a "pair of terra" ?

Matej Kovačić

So, just to clarify, there is going to be a lone Eldar heading to Nyx, sent by Lelith to be her Arena Ambassador, and if her meaning of the word ambassador aligns with ours that may turn out to be a permanent position. Yeah, that is going to go real smoothly.... ( Imagine if the Wych chosen bucks the trend and actually likes Taylor for giving Lelith a proper challenge after so long 😆😆😆😆)

Remi Minjoulat

what does it change to be a noble of terra because she was already a noble?

Rufio18

Is that why her title now says "Her Celestial Highness"? Because of her peerage granted by the Emp's? Would she now have a land title on the throne world and all the traditional grants a peerage gets you? I wonder if Vandire is a peer of Terra? If not, this must burn him something crazy 😝

paul mart

Poor psamtic, today is just not his day... Being introduced to simurgh in the harshest manner, with barely any info from Contessa

A Scarecrow

The Vandires should seriously consider a quite but tragic accident for Xerxes. Going after a Living Saint who has been directly commanded by the Emperor can only end badly, even if it isn't Taylor.

Regan

I honestly want to see more reactions from normal people. It’s quite sweet and inspiring seeing the awe of the commons.

Silver Wolf

Was just re-reading the chapter and I was wondering does Weaver meet other Living Saints or at least influence her successors? Does she meet Saint Sabbat?

Jack

Hey Anthony just a little thing but I’m re-reading I noticed that you said that the reward for killing Sliscus was only 17 Billion. Is that a typo or is the main reward the systems? Just kinda curious

arca91170

sur quelle fic vas tu travailler maintenant?

Michael Zalesny

so wait wait wait, a bit late, and it might have been brought up, but if Taylor is the Saint representing Sacrifice, Krieg, if it ever becomes what it is in OTL, will have her as their patron SAINT, what with their cult of sacrifice...though Taylor might try to get them to tone it fucking down.

Scott Sakraida

I'm curious if you are gonna keep the idea of each Legion/chapter will have their own role and combat doctrines? And how that will work for the 3rd legion and their idea of perfection.

Remi Minjoulat

Apart from prestige, what advantage does Peer of Terra have over a basic noble?

Nicholas

I enjoyed this chapter. It was quite a lot of fun, great job! I did have one question that jumped out at me. How did the Sons of Sanguinius get to Pavia so fast? They were fighting for the Nova Terrans, which should have put them in Segmentum Pacificus, that is halfway across the galaxy from Pavia. Yet somehow they arrived at Pavia with in 10 days of the beginning of the attack on Commorragh. What were they doing that close to Commorragh?

Lee Shilo

So I'm guessing the Starfort+Forge is destined for the new Salamanders chapter (given the Brothers of the Red precedent) and that the Imperial Fists will be setting up a Stalingrad zone in the Cadian Gate... and given that the Sons of Sanguinius decided on a possible sacrifice rather than piracy (or worse), they'll be on the front line of that.

Rufio18

So Taylor gets to command and deploy a Falchion battleship? Aren't those meant to be only for the Custodes??

Claudiu

As the Flamewrought had 5000 Salamanders gene seeds in stock , is it possible that some of the available gene seed will be taken to create more Salamander descendant chapters beside the one that will be created out of the Istvaan survivors. The Salamanders have the smallest number of successor chapters of all legions, it would be great to see more sons of Vulkan in the galaxy.

Claudiu

I always found it weird how the Raven Guard and Iron Hands had more successors then the Salamanders, considering the gene seed issues of the Raven Guard and mental issues of the Iron Hands. The Salamanders should have been the first pick of the 3 to create new chapters as they are much more stable.

Bent Alex Rane Bundgaard

The problem the Salamanders have is connected with the fact that it is HARD to harvest good Geneseed that can be used from the sons of Vulcan, which makes the progenoids from Flamewrought valuable beyond measure for the Salamanders, that there is so many problems with the Salamanders is likely ALSO connected with the fact that Vulcan is a perpetual
