  you keep referencing this alleged &quot;destruction of cadia&quot;, yet i have it on good authority that caida stands.

  Never read a Warhammer 40K book, never played a 40K game, always click on a Leutin release, great storytelling.

  &quot;His buttons, forged of molten elves. His postcards, hammered out of Orc noserings. His laundry detergent, the powdered bones of left handed Tau children.&quot;

  It&apos;s cheesy and an equivalent to the orks &quot;Waaaagh&quot;. But &quot;Cadia stands&quot; still makes me smile, the sheer spite and defiance could probably make Peter Turbo smile.

  As much as i enjoy stories about powered armored trans-human Astartes , i always believed that the overarching story of humanity&apos;s fighting spirit is better represented by Astra Militarum

  My band was all aboard, preparing weapons. So was Inquisitor General Neve and a six-man squad of Cadian Elite Shock, impassive troopers in winter camo armour, prepping matt-white lasrifles and stubbers in the crew-bay. <br> <br>‘God-throne, they’re tough-ass bastards,’ Nayl muttered to me as I passed him coming out of the bay. <br> <br>‘Impressed?’ <br> <br>‘Scared is more like it. Regular Cadian is soldier enough for me. These are elite. The elite of the elite. The Kasrkin.’ <br> <br>‘The what?’ It wasn’t like an experienced fighter to show deference to other fighting men. <br> <br>‘The Kasrkin. The Cadian best, and you can imagine what that means. Holy Terra, they’re stone-killers!&apos; <br> <br>Echbar and his Kasrkin charged in past us to engage. In truth, I may say now that they were somehow more terrifying than the daemonhost. For Prophaniti was a supernatural thing, and one expected it to be horrifying. The Kasrkin were just men. It made their actions all the more astonishing. Six white blurs, they fell upon the cultists, lasguns barking at close range. They wasted no shots. One shot, one kill.<br><br>The next few seconds are burned in my memory. I will never see such heroism again, I am sure. Captain Echbar and two of his Kasrkin troopers assaulted Prophaniti from the rear. Their lasguns wouldn’t fire because Bequin and I were in their range-field.<br><br>Echbar body-tackled the daemonhost, smashing it away from us. Prophaniti hurled him aside, and then incinerated the second Kasrkin mid-leap with its eyes. The third jammed his Cadian bayonet up to the hilt in Prophaniti’s breastbone. Fire exploded back from the wound, down the trooper’s arm and engulfed him.<br><br>He fell back screaming as Echbar came in again, a ragged hole in his cheek and throat. His knife, clenched double-handed, split Prophaniti open down the back bone. The warp-energies that boiled out blew Echbar apart.<br><br>Screaming, Prophaniti writhed away through the air.<br><br>I knew it wasn’t dead. I knew it couldn’t really die. But the Cadian elite had given me an opening by sacrificing their lives. They had fallen in the service of the God-Emperor, which is what every Cadian is born to do.” Eisenhorn - Malleus (Dan Abnett)

  Just before this dropped, I came across a great joke. &nbsp;Guardsman: &quot;Did you just throw sand at me?&quot;. Chaos Marine: &quot;What? &nbsp;Don&apos;t you recognize Cadia?&quot;
