simison Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I'd also be curious what a combination of the Insurrection and Impressionism would look like. Â Anyway, another note from Inferno. As the book is tallying up the dead at the end of the Prospero campaigned, there are mentions of thousands of Thousand Sons escaping the purge. 3,000 that vanish with Magnus right in front of Leman and the Wolves. The Divination Cult makes an escape to the nearby sea before performing a last-minute raid to grab a couple of landers. Out of the three, two escape from Prospero. Finally, around 8,000 Sons that were abroad are able to escape the purge. Â What's most interesting is the last sentence of this whitebox. There is speculation that the Custodians may have been created for the purpose of eliminating Space Marines. Does anyone know when the Custodes were first formed?

I don't think we're ever given a concrete date. Sometime before the Unification Wars I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluntblade Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 MoM has a Custodian reflecting on how the Thunder Warriors were meant to be disposable, and how he knew it long before the Primarch and Legion projects began. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simison Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Thanks for the answers. So, the Custodians definitely predate the Legions.  Another note from Inferno. From this conflict, the Space Wolves wrote the Omega Codex, a treatise of tactics specifically against space marines. Made the Space Wolves extremely unpopular. It's a pity that we won't have anything like this in BotL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluntblade Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 I figure Alex and his loyal brothers, and Icarion on the other side, would quickly compile their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simison Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I figure Alex and his loyal brothers, and Icarion on the other side, would quickly compile their own. Â That is true. Another interesting point was just how divisive Prospero would become. Legions would shift defences in case they were the next ones to be purged. It really shattered a sense of unity among the Legions. Finally, Horus used this incident in part as political justification for his actions or to seem more sympathetic since his supporters argued that the Emperor was undermining the Warmaster by taking care of this behind Horus' back.

Raktra Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Akarro keeps detailed documents on how best to kill each of the other Primarchs from what he's learned with the Cutter's Sight, we could adapt that?**Unless that's snowflakey.

simison Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I think Icarion could make some use of it, but watered down and keeping Raktra's original notes secret. Â Agreed. Raktra has always been the calculating thug. It'd make sense for him to write some notes about what he's seen since he's the belligerent one.

bluntblade Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 A thought about Legion tactics and backgrounds; we should have at least some Primarchs bringing in influences from outside their home worlds. Such superlative tacticians should, as I imagine Guilliman doing, consume mountains of military theory and history to guide them in moulding their Legions. So Niklaas might look beyond Obsailes and form fast-moving companies to combat forces attempting to relieve the fortress he's besieging, John Lawrenz might take in elements of Pan-Pacific military organisation as much as Shakletian tactics as the future Dune Serpemts take form, that sort of thing.

Chief Captain Redd Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 The VIth's tactics are only copied from Huron for Ghost Walkers until Daer'dd's death and the Legion shattering with only Redd's GWT acting like the Legion of old. Â Also, I don't think Daer'dd would have a single thought about killing his brothers, but Redd and Aandegg both might have thought about it post Baal.
