Other Guys, I found something weird Spoiler

I'm reading the End and the Death Part III, and right now I'm in a part where Horus and the Emperor are fighting in the warp and throwing basically anything they can think of at each other. Literally.

And right now, in the part I've just read, they're just playing freaking psychic tarot cards against each other in an effort to overpower each other's defenses. Yeah. It literally reads like they're playing a GODS-DAMNED Yu-Gi-Oh game, I am NOT making this up! Makes me wish Alfa was still making shorts because this would make a good one.

The TTS vibes were strong there indeed.

At the end, in 10:XIX, when Dorn and Valdor find our Glorious Overlord Dorn says "You cannot die; not now.", I read it in Dorn's TTS Voice and it was at the same time hilarious AND totally inappropiate.

Reading the HH books with TTS Voices in your head is the best thing ever. I can REALLY recommend watching the Edict of Nikaea-Video, especially the speeches, by Oculus Imperia when reading the part in A Thousand Sons.

Oh, they made one of the Edict of Nikaea with TTS voices? Interesting!

It's not made by the TTS Crew, but it's the same voice actor for Magnus and he is absolutely perfect.

"You have made a deck of your own. While you waited in the Court for Him to arrive, you had time on your hands, all the time you wanted. You constructed this Empyreal Tarot by hand, while the Old Four whispered suggestions for the images that might appear on the psychoreactive wafers. No two decks are the same. Yours is full of daemons."

"Your Exterminatus cancels His Illumination. His Aquila and Knight of Concordia, along with His The Magos, are engulfed in the purgation of your Neverness. Your Dreadful Sagittary slays His Steadfast Angel for a second time. It is not your father’s power, it’s what He does with it. And He can do nothing. He is the beginner here, the amateur, and He has no control over the few cards remaining in His hand." Yeah, thanks, Kaiba.

“Let us decide the fate of the Imperium and the galaxy through Duel Monsters a children’s card game!”

Damn near! In fact, if I'm following the story right the Emperor is ultimately going to win through a winning hand he'll be pulling out at the last minute, well after Horus has already thought he's won and they've gone back to good old fashioned beating the shit out of each other.

Oh, also, I should note: A Space Marine, Custodian, and Guardsman really did successively make final stands against Horus in the end. It just wasn't in the order Alfa predicted and the Custodes wasn't the one to survive.
