>>5405876There's the bells and whistles & thunder and lightning promised. Twenty knights and a single warlord? Not even an Imperator? Not even PARTICEPS SEMPER? That doesn't do a "demonstration of the power of Lucius" and a victorious crusade army. The books give single knight houses a hundred or more knights and Dutonis is not the Federation's only knight world. Any of our brothers can arrive with banners, xeno pelts, some of them can land from great heights (like Fulgrim). Those are good, but they are frosting not the cake.
Also nice touch that the Lucian Federation would only want to use the Lucius Pattern. Let Mars have their pretty Warlords, we are old-school and have no time for that nonsense. And older is literally better when it comes to 40k tech.
What makes Tal0S and his legion special is what our other brothers cannot do. And that's teleport an entire fucking Titan Legion and his forces inside them.
It's all about the presentation.
