    Vashtorr the Arkifane, daemon demigod of the soul forges, has fixed his gaze upon the Rock. Somewhere deep within the spacefaring battle station and fortress-monastery of the Dark Angels lies a prize that the Arkifane will spend countless lives to seize. Gathering a terrifying Balefleet around him, riding to battle aboard the most vast and grotesque Ark of Omen yet, Vashtorr closes his ironclad talons around the heart of the Dark Angels Chapter and prepares to crush it.
    Yet the Dark Angels are a stubborn and strategically brilliant Chapter. Even in the face of such sudden and calamitous adversity, their grim resolve comes to the fore. Rousing every warrior and weapon at their disposal, the Dark Angels dig in and prepare to fight for every corridor, every echoing chamber, dark oubliette and shadowed stairway. They are led in their defence by Supreme Grand Master Azrael, who will see the servants of the Dark Gods driven from the Rock no matter the cost.
    As battle rages and the fight grows ever more desperate, neither invaders nor defenders suspect that a third power moves in the shadows, preparing to strike...

    Had he not, Azrael would have remained. I see this as Azrael reading the situation, and realizing that Belakor wasn't after him or the Gate. With Vashtorr and his forces distracted, he decided to GTFO while he still could, then come back and steam roll whoever was left.

    Honestly I am not surprised that belakor would come fuck everything up. My impression when we were first introduced to vashtorr was that he was similar to belakor, with both aspiring to be larger chaos gods, so it would make sense to have them as rivals. It also goes to show that chaos' biggest enemy is chaos and it is rarely ever fully united.
    Also feel like Bricky thought this book was mid because a majority of the book consists of ground and void battles. Probably would've liked it more if he knew more about the DA and the crazy shit they store in the rock (i.e. enslaved men of iron and unification era anti pysker weapons)

Its things like Belakor that drive Vashtorr to be come clairvoyant... What if they both become new chaos gods?

    As they fought tooth and nail a strange sound was heard. Everyone looked to see the vault doors *opening.* Suddenly the fighting died down before coming to a hault. As the chapter master got on the vox demanding to know what was happening. Only to be till that security was overriding them. And that the door was unlocked and open from the inside. Suddenly the doors stopped and a single watcher walked out. It walked up the Azrael the Belakor and finally Vashtor. Then walked back into the vaults with the doors sealed and locked behind him.
    None dare move because the forces of Chaos could sense this small creature for what it truly was and dared not challenge it. And the Astartes would never dream of messing with the little guys in f Caliban.
    The three it addressed looked down at the piece of paper they each were given. “Let’s take this outside, Vashtor” Belakor said. Vashtor nodded and the two left. Their messages being thrown away as the turned and left. A chaos Astarte picked it up. “What is it?” Asked on of the Fallen. The message was read aloud.
    “WOULD YOU KEEP IT DOWN, I’M TRYING TO SLEEP?!” The traitor stated. “Signed the Lion.” Everyone present was sent into a state of shock. “Wait there’s more” he said. “P.S. if you don’t keep it down I’m coming out to have words with you myself.” At that Cypher and Luther decided to take their leave.

    The problem isn't that GW chases trends, it's that the trends they chase they are incapable of exploiting in any way that people cares about. If warhammer plus just acted like a central hub for Warhammer animators than it would likely be great. But GW either picks people who don't do shit, don't let the people do the shit they want to do, or just don't pick anyone worth while.

      Perhaps "Vashtorr" is not his only name. Hashut has long been an enigma in the lore, often hypothesized to be a daemon of Khorne, even though that didn't really fit, other than Khorne's affinity for bull horns. It would be interesting if Hashut and Vashtorr are tied together in AoS or Total War: Warhammer III.

    As a Dark Angels fan I really hope that when they do Lion and DA episodes Bricky reads the Lion's "Lord of the First" and "trials of Azrael" cause while saying "they're like the Spanish inquisition" isn't inaccurate it's just kind of sucks. That aspect is the aspect of the DA I've seen other DA fans the least comfortable with. They're so much more than that and both "Lord of the First" and "trials of Azrael" show that perfectly in my opinion. Asmodai should not be the face of the Chapter he is essentially a rabbid dog that (were he not so useful) Azrael would have put down long ago.

      I'm not so sure. The Gathering Storm culminated in the formation of the Cicatrix Maledictum. When the Imperium musters a new threat, in the form of Guilliman, Chaos usually responds in-kind. The ascension of Vashtorr would be one of those unusual cases of the Chaos Gods giving someone a boost just to screw over the Imperium. The Lion comes back, and the other Chaos Gods open the doors for Vashtorr just to spite Be'lakor and the Imperium.
