DEATHWING: The First 40K Stories | GW Book Club 10

We're reading Deathwing, the first anthology of 40k fiction ever published and we're talking all about it in this month's GW Book Club!
Featuring 7 short stories about inquisitors, assassins, Space Marine terminators, Genestealer Cults, Chaos, and the Imperium this collection includes tales by authors Bryan Ansell, William King, Charles Stross, Storm Constantine, Neil McIntosh, and 40k's great storyteller Ian Watson!
In GW Book Club my friend Stu and I explore classic fiction from the worlds of Warhammer, 40k, and Dark Future.

1:51:04 - it’s kinda like toilets in Star Trek; you never see someone go to one*, and you don’t want to when you stop to think about it, but there’s always that random thought of ‘where are the toilets on the Enterprise?’
*not entirely true; in Star Trek V, in the brig scene, Kirk hits a switch and one pops out of the wall so he has somewhere to sit in his cell. Iirc, the prop/set department even went as far as having a label on it saying ‘do not flush while ship is in space dock’.

20:44 - fwiw, iirc names ending ‘-iel’ are angelic/divine names in the Bible, so given the marines as a whole are known as the Emperor’s Angels, and this chapter specifically has Angels in their name, maybe the implication is supposed to be that they were rechristened when they became marines to symbolically reflect them shedding their mortal selves and becoming angels?
