INTRO...YOLO

I’m not really sure how to start the. Well, I guess this is kinda a statement on what this blog is gonna be, and a little bit about me at the same time. So…this all starts years ago. I was young careless, and what have you. I had picked up the hobby of reading the Horus Heresy series. Dispite my school workload I was completely addicted to these works of literature. I had already been playing Chaos Space Marines for a little over a year or so. Eventually I made my way through the series and purchased the book “Fulgrim”, and I’m guessing you can guess where it goes from there. I had already loved the idea of Noise Marines and the limited fluff that there was about them at that time. That love catapulted by the time I finished that novel.

So in the past few years I’ve always included at least one Slaaneshi unit in every army lists that I’ve run. And over those years Slaanesh, or yet the idea of Slaanesh, has slowly become an obsession. So slowly I wanted to make everything I could Slaaneshi. You name it I can turn it Slaaneshi. Noise Orks, Hive Fleet Slaanesh, Pheonix Guard a.k.a Draigowing, etc.

Now along this journey I ended up naming my Noise Marine Champion, and quite fittingly, Jared Allen. For those of you who know football, you’ll get this. But this one model, by himself, has had 3 sacks in one game. All alone he took out a Rhino, a Vindicator, and an entire 10 man Tactical Squad. This is how the idea of the Minnesota Vikings took root in my head. So here I am with all these ideas swimming around by head in a crazy ass vortex. Then it finally hit me, how I can take all these ideas and make them whole and thus an army out of it. Finally I had an epiphany. Here’s the thought process:

I love the Emperor’s Children ->

-> the Emperor’s Children are purple and gold ->

-> purple and gold are the colors of the MN Vikings ->

-> Jared Allen plays for the MN Vikings ->

-> Jared Allen’s number is 69 ->

 -> 69 is the symbol for Cancer ->

-> I am a Cancer

 So there you have it. Six degrees of separation, from me to…well me. Oddly enough 6 is the sacred number of Slaanesh. Weird? Coincidence? I’m not sure, but I figured I’d document it for you all to see. First off is my Cult of Destruction, the Oblit Aoc formation. But from now on I shall be play the 69th chapter of the Emperors Children, the Arch Patrons of Mirth, and the Emissaries of Dischord.
