Alfabusa Series General

One question: did you think magnus did this with all is brother during the great crusade?

Unlikely, since given the personalities of several of them, they'd find such a game to be too "nerdy" or somesuch.

That and they will mean they care for each other and fuck that noise.

Also I find intersting the first thing the emperor try to roll was to DESTROY IS SOUL.....

you now, what he did to horus.....

Also I find this coment

"Yo yo, I just had a thought but I think I know why Magnus got so pissed off after Magnar died. It’s because Magnar was actually Magnus’s own PC. That’s why he had stats and stuff because Magnus wanted to play the game originally but since no else wanted to DM Magnus decided to just use his character as an NPC. An NPC that was then promptly killed by both Big E and Dorn’s characters; however unintentionally.

Once again Magnus has been backstabbed by his family"

In that case Magnus was also done in by his inability to think things through, and his believe that he knows it better than others.

Because as it was repeatedly pointed out to him, there were eays how he could prevented Magnar from dying, which he should have known, if he really knew the rules as well as he claimed.

Granted I feel he feel that was cheating, Magnus is railroaded DM who want a "history" in which he could shepard is subjects, Magnar die and he try to move them to the moot, but they keep changing script.

And if that sound like the emperor in canon then congratulation, you have being paying attention.

Say, does anyone recognize the fourth denizen of the Retconnian, shown to the right of Horus in this screenshot? It kind of looks like a Bloodthirster, but not like any that I know of.

That's Malal the Chaos God of Hating Chaos

No, I mean directly to the right of and standing behind Horus, not at the right side of the image itself.

Maybe it's Doombreed?

Can't be. Doombreed hasn't been retconned like Malal, or had his soul erased from existence like Horus; he has appeared several times in WH 40 K tabletop sourcebooks and literature during the last dozen years:

• 2007: Codex: Chaos Space Marines (4th Edition)
• 2012: Eclipse of Hope
• 2013: Mephiston: Lord of Death and Black Legion - A Codex: Chaos Space Marines Supplement (6th Edition)
• 2015: Ahriman: Unchanged
• 2017: Warhammer 40,000 8th Edition Rulebook and Dark Compliance

I'm fairly certain that Horus's two pals show up with him in the April Fools' episode, so I'd recommend checking that. (If you want a guess, I think that figure's Old One-Eye.)

Doombred exist in llimbo, let remenber that GW barely retcon things outright, rather they push away into a limbo and then picked again, Ollinaus pius, the squats and imperial knight are a good example of that.

... Nope, the depicted Old One-Eye in the April Fools episode uses his actual tabletop model appearance, which looks nothing like the creature in the Retconnian.

The point is that the one commonality between the identified denizens of the Retconnian (three out of four) is that they were written out of WH40K's admittedly Loose Canon, which usually but not always corresponds to an in-universe event that "justifies" their disappearance.

1. Horus: Killed Off for Real to Deader than Dead by the Emperor via annihilation of his soul... which, in TTS terms, translates to removing his soul from the WH 40 K universe entirely and banishing it to the Retconnian, where not even the Chaos Gods have any sort of influence or even ability to perceive anything within it.

2. The Squats: Collectively suffered Dropped a Bridge on Him in the form of the Tyranids driving them to extinction by consuming most if not all of their homeworlds, with GW ceasing to mention them entirely and even rewriting them out of republished versions of older books (and in some books' cases refusing to republish them), until they finally changed their stance in 2018 and formally reintroduced them to the setting.

3. Malal: Due to copyright issues, GW quietly dropped Malal from any mentions in official WH 40 K materials, and only briefly flirted with introducing an Expy in the form of "Malice" before seemingly abandoning the concept altogether.

The fourth creature is an engima because I know of no other case of a character or group of characters in WH 40 K that suffered anything similar to what the above mentioned three have, let alone one that matches its appearance. Characters like Doombreed and Ollanius Pius fading in and out of the spotlight in the lore is simply a sign of GW not really knowing what more to do with them than anything else; the company clearly has no intention of deliberately writing them out of the setting (with or without an in-universe explanation), and they also have no copyright issues that affect their ability to use these characters.

Could it possibly be that one slave race the Tyranids had early on?

The Zoats? They lacked wings and had centaur-like bodyplans; not remotely similar.

On another note, does anyone recognize the guy in power armor at 24:30 of Episode 26 Part 1?

I dont know who he is but is clearly a space wolf chararter, I think he is a runic priest

... Well, that brought my mind to one particular name, and checking his article on Lexicanum, his official miniature appearance does bear an uncanny resemblance to this figure, albeit with a blue-grey shade to his armor instead of a blackish one.

Alfabusa is apparantly very close to uploading the next episode.

Episode is out.

Yep

Custodisi's officially back! Yay! And I LOVE how sassy Dorn was with Emps. Even he's getting tired of Emperor's treatment of others.

He's been tired with it for awhile, he's also just been tired.

And music argument!

To think we got like 14 episodes left, will we see Primaris Marines?

My favorite parts are when we finally learn why the rest of the Custodes (sans the Fabulous Trio, apparently) elected Kitten to the office of Captain-General (because he's a Reasonable Authority Figure and a Father to His Men), and when said reveal leads to Karstodes finally having a Heel Realization, own up to his mistakes in this regard, promptly resign from the post that he had extorted out of his own leader for purely self-serving purposes, and deciding to redeem himself from now on.

I'm now pondering, what happened to the Tabletop characters? Surely being in the Imperial Palace grants them great stature and protection... and how will Custodisi and them react to each other?
