Still you have to wonder how their gene seed is more complex. From the emperor personally I know, but does this mean we can turn them all into Primarchs #jokes for the winz :D

Both. Only Apothecaries can harvest the progenoids, and it's going to take a shitload of work to be able to make more geneseed with the Grey Knights' fortress on Titan lost.

Pff. I refuse to believe Titan has already fallen. Hopefully they got the Warp Nexus working and are chilling in a safe pocket of the warp cut off from literally everything dangerous.

Unless you mean that they're just cut off from us which is true.

raises eye brows. You do know that that was powered by MALCADOR THE SIGILIT. The founder of the inquisition the emperors closet friend and confidant who was strong enough to sit on the Golden throne hold back the warp itself for an ungodly amount of time, while the emperor battled Horus. Yeah unless they have another one of those chilling in their pocket stronger than Malcador who can hide them from the eyes of a chaos god in its birth place... yeah unlikely.

There are probably entire brotherhoods scattered around, but Titan is probably gone.

In the fic this is based off of, it took a really, really long time for Titan to actually fall and even then there was still a handful left alive in the depths. Remember, Titan is one of the most fortified places in the Imperium and is filled with Gray Knights. I'd bet they're still alive.

Also there was that whole thing with the war between the Void Dragon and the daemons keeping them preoccupied.

Important point there based it is not that ifc. That Titan would be neigh impreginble that I have no doubt, but not every Grey Knight is a Kaldor Drago and don't quote me on this, but Sol is now the center of a massive warp storm and even if it wasn't the Abomination now controls Mars, Terra and all the hyper conventional inquisitors, inside Titan.

Titan would fall even disregarding that, the Grey Knights best bet would be to grab all the Gene Seed and artifacts, burn the rest and book it.

In The Shape of the Nightmare to Come the Star Father's birth was, in the materium, thousands of years after the Emperor's Death. His birth was centered around Ophelia, which had gone full batshit crazy in terms of religious fervor, and that planet was consumed in the Warp Storm.

From what Saint Lin told us, Terra and Mars were both flooded with daemons as the Warp Rift the Emperor was keeping closed in the Imperial Palace was ripped open. It's not known if Terra and Mars are now under control of the Abomination or not - they could have been torn apart by the Warp energies, or the Void Dragon may have taken over Mars when it awoke, or they could be continued battlegrounds that nobody really controls. We don't know what happened to the rest of the Solar System either - Titan may be far enough from the Warp Rift to be safe, or it might not be.

Titan may also be inside a Warp Storm, so their flow of time may be slower like ours.

Still doubt that Titan would have survived.

If you could give me a run down of the shape of nightmares to come that would be wonderful :D

In the fic Titan was the last surviving bastion of humanity in the Solar System. The Emperor, knowing he was about to die, sent the Custodes there. Titan had a simply massive amount of fortifications. Daemons attempted to besiege it. They lost. Later, the Void Dragon, the Necrons, and the Dragon Cultists tried to take it. The latter even tried Exterminatus, but Titan had defenses against that since they were designed by the Inquisition and they know all about Exterminatus measures. So then they tried to win on the ground and lost. The Void Dragon himself was gonna try his and at it after that failed, but Abbadon showed up to try to pillage Mars and so he got distracted by that and just never tried to destroy Titan himself again, though the Necrons kept trying.

Living on Titan was a shitty existence that pretty much amounted to survival and not much else, but they tenaciously clung to that. After the Necron invasion most of the regular humans on Titan died off. The Grey Knights and the Custodes still fought on. The ultimate fate is unknown, but since The Shape of the Nightmare to Come is written as a historical document it can be presumed they survived to tell their story.

Mind you, the fic is full of grimderp and nonsense at many times, so Titan may survive because nobody will particularly see a reason to bother with it after it beats off the initial sieges show it's just not worth the effort.

OK. That sounds like something GW would actually write. So dumb and yet so ****ING AWESOME :D

I believe it has to do with Matthew Ward, who was one of the GW writers and is... well... rather reviled in may circles of 40k fandom. This isn't because it's a bad person, but he's responsible for a great deal of the derp in 40k.

The Matt Ward hate is pretty much just a meme now. Honestly while his lore was terrible, his crunch and rule writing wasn't that bad. Though depending on who you ask, the lore is more important than having a working/functional army. :rolleyes:
