The Horus Heresy was a pivotal event in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, as it marked the fall of the Warmaster Horus and the corruption of half of the Space Marine Legions. One of the most iconic and significant artifacts of this dark period is the Tainted Talisman. The Tainted Talisman was originally a powerful and revered relic of the Imperium, said to possess great psychic energy and serve as a protective ward against the forces of chaos. It was created by the Emperor Himself, imbued with His own power, and entrusted to one of His most loyal Primarchs, Horus Lupercal. However, during the Horus Heresy, the Tainted Talisman became a symbol of corruption and betrayal. As Horus fell to chaos and aligned himself with the Chaos Gods, he used the Talisman to channel their dark energies and gain further power.
Her eyes are a striking blue with lines radiating out from the pupil. There's some sort of squiggles around the outer edge of the iris but I can't make out what they are. Part of me wants them to be numbers so she has clock eyes, but ALL the princesses have these eyes so I don't think that's the case. they're just squiggles.
A shame, clock face eyes would have been awesome.
In fact, she can t actually sit properly and due to the bend in her legs from packaging combined with the tightness of her dress, her legs spring into this annoying one foot in front of the other pose constantly. The Witchy Princesses Adventure is a 5 episode virtual storytelling webseries based on the Witchy Princesses line released by MGA entertainment as part of the Bratzillaz collection.
As Horus fell to chaos and aligned himself with the Chaos Gods, he used the Talisman to channel their dark energies and gain further power. This tainted the relic, turning it into a potent tool of chaos and destruction. The Tainted Talisman played a significant role in many pivotal events of the Horus Heresy.
Angelica Sound Bratzillaz Witchy Princess – With Pink Hair!
I am pleased to introduce my new Bratzillaz Witchy Princess doll, Angelica Sound. Before I write about her I have to confess I've never been a fan of Bratz dolls. I've never purchased one, or owned one. They just don't interest me. But while browsing the doll aisles in K-Mart the other day I saw this pink haired cutie peeking at me and she was on sale. If you read my blog you may remember that recently I gathered some of my pink haired dolls for a photo shoot. Turns out I've got several, enough to be considered a collection I think. So when I saw this Bratzillaz doll I was intrigued enough to take a chance on her. You can price her on Amazon here:
It was used by Horus to corrupt and influence other Primarchs, turning them against the Emperor and their own loyal brethren. Its dark influence extended to the corrupted Space Marine Legions, manipulating their actions and driving them further into chaos. Despite its corruption, the Tainted Talisman remained a highly sought-after artifact in the aftermath of the Horus Heresy. Many chaos worshippers and heretical cults sought its power, believing it to grant them favor with the Chaos Gods. However, those who possessed the Talisman often found themselves consumed by its malevolent influence, driving them to acts of madness and self-destruction. Even after the Horus Heresy came to an end, the Tainted Talisman continued to haunt the Imperium. It became a symbol of the treachery and devastation wrought by Horus and his followers, serving as a reminder of the dangers of chaos and the corrupting influence it could wield over even the mightiest warriors. In conclusion, the Tainted Talisman of the Horus Heresy is a powerful and significant artifact that played a central role in the fall of Horus and the corruption of the Space Marine Legions. While originally intended as a symbol of protection and divine power, it became a tool of chaos and a stark reminder of the dangers of corruption and betrayal..

I had heard great things about "Tainted Talisman of the Horus Heresy," but it didn't live up to the hype for me. The plot was convoluted and confusing, with numerous unnecessary subplots that only served to distract from the main story. The book felt overly long, and many scenes dragged on without adding much to the overall narrative. I also found the writing style to be clunky and awkward at times. Unfortunately, this book didn't resonate with me.

"Tainted Talisman of the Horus Heresy" had its moments, but overall, it didn't capture my attention. The characters had potential, but they felt underdeveloped, and I struggled to connect with any of them. The action scenes were decently written, but they were few and far between. While the concept was interesting, the execution fell flat, and the pacing was uneven. I was left feeling somewhat unsatisfied by the end.
