>>145261Pure, distilled, refined sharpened edge. I won't spoil some of the highlights, but they really didn't pull any stops. If the word "straight edge" had a longform definition, it'd be the Night Lords series.
I mean, the Primarch literally has Curse as his surname, that alone sets the tone from the beginning, and that's before he becomes Space Marine Batman / the Lord of the Night. If you want moderate edge / a bit of edge in a grimdark setting, Raven Guard play the part well; all-out-edge is Night Lords, and they don't apologise for any of it.
This ain't Shadow the Hedgehog with an AK47, this isn't Sasuke, Darth Maul, Batman or Sephiroth. It's adult edge in an M-Rated series, that makes the Grimdark setting look like a softball at times.
Basically, Drukfags wanted something to like in HH because it was just after the fall of the Eldar (so no real Deldar yet), and Konrad Kurze was their laurel and more.
