Yeah, this was obviously fanboy work. Wanting their sm fortresses to be nigh-indestructable. Hell the thing can't even be boarded.
Everyone knows that Fortress-monasteries have a weak spot. Look at the Crimson fists, the orks found it.
Then again I do enjoy the crimson fist fluff the most out of any chapter (and by most I mean at all) as they get murdered, and are quite desperate. Stories are always more interesting when the characters know fear (pun intended).
Come on, look at some of the absurd stuff GW has put out lately;
30 space wolves jumping from an exploding strike cruiser to a chaos ship, taking it over and killing the other ships? I mean... there are so many logical issues with that it is just... wrong. How the hell does a space marine jump several thousand miles in a reasonable amount of time, trying to hit something that is so far away at best it looks like the head of a needle, calculate where it will be. Not only that but the immense radiation and heat released from the blast would kill them, I don't care how resistant to death they are. Radiation kills everything forever.
Then there's the fact that in order to get to the chaos ship in time they would need to travel at several thousand miles per hour, meaning when they hit the ship they would have a fly on the windshield scenario. Again I don't care how resistant to thousand mile-per hour impacts you are.
Oh and then they smash through the hull with powerfists, well this I can accept, but the fact that when the ship depressurizes it will launch them into space! Then they kill the entire crew of a chaos cruiser, sure, then fire its weapons on the rest of the chaos battlegroup destroying them. How the hell do they load and aim the weapons? It takes several thousand crew to just operate the basic functions of a cruiser, so they would be stuck in an empty ship waiting to die.
Also why were the chaos generals dumb enough to wait around while their ship gets cleaned out by these 30 space marines? Presumably this would take hours, assuming there are 90,000 crew aboard, and each of the 30 space marines can kill 1 every 2 seconds it would take them an hour and a half. Long enough for the captain to notify the fleet.
I am just amazed about some things GW puts out.
