Thank you Into the AM for these Amazing Graphic Tees.

It’s interesting that Cawl was taught by Necrons and Bile by Dark Eldar. Like a warped mirror of the war in heaven.

[MrPublikus]

Cawl became one of my favorite characters. Hes just so delightfully arrogant yet can somehow back it up. Its great! Also that he intentionally retains his humanity is a great twist to the usual Mechanicum philosophies.

[scottmiller]

I think there is one feat that is forgotten about Bile. In the book, "Black Tide" bile hides his facility on a tyranid world using a zoanthrope's pheromones to confuse where he was located.

[Reddotzebra]

He even has an extra mechadendrite just for jangling the keys. Truly he is the Warp-Squirrel.

[khylerbane]

I wanna see a science fair between Illuminor Szeras, Belisarius Cawl, Fabius Bile, Urien Rakarth, and Mad Dok Grotsnik.

[Paradise]

I gave the edge to Cawl just bc he has to work with a guillotine over his head. He's always either hiding or dumbing down his work for fear of being labeled a heretic by Gman or the mechanicus. We see Bile's unrestricted peak. We dont know what Cawl's is.

[WolfA]

I want to see one of Belisarius' enemies introduce him to Factorio as a plan to cripple his progress.

[username_undeleted]

Its interesting how Cawl, the man sworn into a faith where a core tenant is to not innovate, is himself one of the most innovative people in the galaxy. And then Bile, powered by chaos and change, struggles to make more than copies of imperfection.

[floriannarratio]

I adore the end of Genefather as it focuses on the values of love and respect, which was a very pleasant surprise. Especially Bile, a being so evil and monstrous, is still allowed to have positive traits and moments where you see a kinder side of him. And Cawl is ironically one of the most human characters in all of 40k. Especially his relationship with his friend/boyfriend Friedisch is just heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time.

[heeman]

in short, bile is a biology specialist while Cawl is a engineering specialist.

[Narakuda]

I love their interactions in Genefather. And it basically boils down to Bile saying, 'oh when you tinker with the emperor's work in a lab paid for by the imperium you're a hero, but I have to play chop shop Bob out here and do better work, I'm a monster'

[PoolNoodleGundam]

The way Porter moves and fights is so sick. She must have the calorie intake of a small farm. But the way she's built makes it read like she's one of the fastest individuals in the setting.

[XxCopperxXCF]

For me Cawl is the clear winner. Not due to his intellect but through his humor. After listening to both the Great Work and Genefather, the guy is absolutely hilarious and i love him.

[mrsmeef]

(Spoilers) Man the book was really good. I was scared for what the ending could be as I went through it. Bile might be smarter but Cawl knows what he is fighting for. He is fighting for humanity, his friends, his family. With the Great Work it gave me the vibe that Cawl saw all of the primas marines as his sons but Alpha Primas is his first born and actually is his son. It’s interesting to see Cawl be ever so lonely and has remade his best friend and has a made a son and both are fed up with his shit.

[The-Random-Hamlet]

One thing I like about Cawl and was a little surprised about was that he's a genuine believer when it comes to his faith in the Omnissiah.

[hieioni]

Fabius Bile is one of my favorite 40K characters. He embodies the mad scientist trope really well (not to mention the fact that his TTS counterpart is just f*cking awesome! xD)

[mattwoodard]

Bile is a perfect example of "Perfection is the enemy of Good Enough". There is something else to be considered other than pure intelligence and that is wisdom. And I think Cawl has that many times over Bile. sm

[dakotasargent]

If you haven't read it, Wolfsbane is primarily a space wolf and Leman Russ Horus Heresy novel, but Cawl features heavily in it, and its actually the events in Wolfsbane that lead to his backstory in The Great Work.

[mavericklysander]

I think saying "Who's smarter, Cawl or Bile" is like asking "Which is tastier, pizza or strawberries" because the answer is going to be "yes." They've got very different specialties and they're impressively skilled at those specialties. Not that either one would admit it.
