Today head back to 1989 to the birth of the Ork Race, when GW gave away who REALLY created the greenskins – the Brainboyz. Today we step back to October 1989 and White Dwarf 118.

The construct views itself as above humanity but seems to hold no real malice for it. The robot even seems to regret having to kill in order to remain free.

V Crusade Armor is called “heresy armor,” not because there’s any sort of inherent heresy, or in heresy, in its design, but rather because it was the model of armor most common in use at the time of Horus’ Heresy.
