There's nothing new under the sun, they say. And so every aspect of written work is inspired or replicated from others.

This brings me to my point, and my question.

If you were to compromise a series of books to describe the mentality of any of the Primarchs from Warhammer 40k, which who choose and for whom?

I'll start with what books I'd ascribe to Roboute Guilliman's character:
>The Art of War
>Meditations
>Republic
>The Book of Five Rings
>Rule of Saint Benedict
>Letters From a Stoic
>The Wealth of Nations
Basically, my thoughts here are that Guilliman is all about being practical, stoic, efficient, and reasonable. He's fills an "ancient Greek ideal" archetype in many respects.

Do you have any you would add for Guilliman? Or a list of your own you can think of for other characters or Primarchs?

The Prince would probably fit well with Lorgar or Fulgrim I think.
Because theyre basically entitled sociopaths.

I just can't get into lore that makes no sense. When you have galaxy spanning empires, elite foot soldiers are never going to be important. You are just going to bomb the shit out of your enemies from orbit.

What a spergout

You ok?

>>23543718
I think it can be explained by the fact that the planets theyre fighting over are usually valuable or fragile such that bombing would ruin it. Like important factories and infrastructure. But I see your point. It's a space opera after all.

Filtered by a 500 old book lmao

Guileman is much more close Machiavelli than you think
