Might be a strange question to ask, but am I alone in despising what Games Workshop has done to Ollanius Pius? I know the Horus Heresy series made him important, made him a perpetual no less that had fought in battles across thousands of years, but…I feel like that somewhat defeats the point of him.
To me there is something deeply profound about a mere mortal man, a common soldier scared out of his wits, putting himself between his Emperor and a Mad God in the form of Horus Lupercal. He had no chance, no hope, only his duty. And on that day, against the Arch Traitor himself, the Imperial Guard held the fucking line.
