Ok, hear me out on this---
I just had the idea for a new army today, an army that would still be competitive and stuffs, but would just be so over the top and unnecessary that it would be so awesome. Just read the name of the army and tell me this wouldn't be awesome:
The Manly Marines of Manliness.
Tell that would not be awesome. I dare you, I double dog dare you motherfucker, tell me that wouldn't be awesome.
Anyway, for making this army, there must be some manly requirements that must be met. Listed below:
The Standard-bearer is standing atop a fallen enemy, ramming the banner-poll up it's ass (On the base it will be written "WHERE ARE YOUR GODS NOW?")
The chapter badge and banner will be the American flag (Really, why the fuck not?).
Most likely the Captain will be striking epic battle pose, and his cape with be the flag (See previous statement).
The Chaplain will be curb-stomping a Tau fire-warrior.
There will be a sergeant punching a missile.
All bare-headed sergeants will have cigars (Cigars make everything manly).
I have so many more ideas for these, and really I just want to start them just so I said I did made that army. Maybe I will....
Anyway, just needed to share that.
Cheers,
57
I mean, a Chaplain curb-stomping a tau.... How's that not cool?

The hardest line you've had to write
"What is the hardest thing you've ever had to write?"
I got that question a couple days back and it did get me thinking a little bit, what was/is the hardest thing I've had to write?
Now, this doesn't mean hardest as in most difficult and most challenging book a person could write, no it means what was the most emotionally trying thing that I've written. That was indeed a good question, what was the most difficult? Siege had a hard one or two, the main protagonist, of course goes through some trials and hardships, some were difficult to put down on paper, but they weren't the most difficult. Until recently they were, but not now.
The most difficult thing I've had to write came in the form of another book idea I had a few days back (damn me having a creative imagination). It was really between two of that book's main characters after the events of the book. It was a saying of the ultimate result of their actions, not the one they wanted but the one they got. It's full of bitterness, sorrow and the simple but brutal truth. That this was their fate, uttered by one of the two main protagonists knowing that even though they knew what they wanted, knew what everyone was wanting had tried for the simplest of things.
The phrase was simple: "It's over. We lost."
