So we're retconning Roboute Guilliman into a mouth-breathing moron?

Apparently the Codex Astartes advises soldiers to walk in straight lines, looking neither left nor right, and only firing at what's directly in front of them. Brother marines walking beside you are on their own.

Anyone who buys this deserves a punch in the throat for rewarding terrible IP dillution.

"To me, my battle brothers! The Rites of Briefing begin! The filthy xenos oppose us on this world. We shall cleanse them with righteous fury.

Instead of deploying as one mighty host to exterminate the foe in glorious and honourable open battle, we shall instead follow Appendix XXVII of the Codex Astartes, the Tacticus Linear. The Tacticus directs us to marshal our forces gradually and walk slowly along predetermined straight lines, in fearless single file. We must stop for nothing save to fight with anything directly in front of us. Our battle brothers must look to the Emperor for protection, as we cannot divert from our holy lanes to aid them.

Now, my brothers, we deploy! Look to your weapons, your brothers, and your faith in the Emperor. QUEUE TO BATTLE!"

just had to change linear to linearus and and a linearus to fit how a space marine commander would actually say it (if you read it in their voice it just flows better like that)

still hillarious though, got a good laugh out of it
