Cadia has fallen to Abbadon's Black Crusade, yet fear not, for in the Imperium's Darkest Hour, the Lord of Macragge returns!

Wait what? 
They're moving the plot forward like hell....
And no more cadians?  Aren't they one of the more popular IG armies?  Wow

Yup.

Ynead, the prophesied Eldar goddess of Death and Rebirth has finally been born too.

The setting is set for maximum escalation in the upcoming 8th edition.

I'd bet dollars to donuts that Gazgkull will ascend to being full Krok like the Beast from 32K. All the Necrons will wake up. Full on Tyrannid invasion that the Dark Angels and their successors will fight, led by the Lion. Etc, etc

Where did you read of this btw?
I need to investigate

Probably has a really nice car, too.

Probably still younger than all of us, too.

Joined the navy in 2002, so probably born in the 1982-84 range

That would have made him between 18 and 20 when he graduated high school (which he also did in 2002)...

I'm re-reading Max Boot's not very good book on guerilla war and was somewhat surprised to read that during the American Revolution Britain, including German mercenaries, had more dead (43K) than the US (25K).

Euros tended to die when exposed to the New World. That is where the term 'seasoning' comes from. I know those cannot all be battlefield casualties anyway because the total casualties for the US side was less than 10K, much less 25K deaths so that must be from all causes.

[Admiral Yi]

Why?

Because I don't have anything else to read.
