Index Astartes: Azure Blades v 2.0

[Commissar Molotov]

To be honest, it'd be far more help if you were to fold all these updates into your first post, or into a new post. At least then we can read it 'in situ'. It's part of the reason I've not commented since you started presenting multiple drafts of seperate sections. I'm not always sure which draft I'm meant to be commenting on, and how it all interlocks with the rest of the article. Context is important.

Whoops, sorry about that. Like I said, running on mostly fatigue instead of rest right now. Will move the amendments that at least SEEM complete to the first page.

Neeeeeeearly at the home stretch at this point, but I openly admit that the rewrite of the In Light and In Shadow segment might not read well... Too much stuff inserted, and my mind's too fatigued right now to differentiate what makes sense and what doesn't, so I'll just leave that to the commentors to pick out.

 

Rest... Yes...

Added some minor adjustments and edits, mostly changing the images used for the article, as well as swapping their positions and adding new sidebars. It is already mostly-done though, so I hope that, barring a few more edits, this will be the last one to do in a while.

Wow, almost a year since the last update. Real-life and work can be heinous. :)

Anyway, some updates on the actual IA:

++ Included how to play army using the 5th Edition Codex: Space Marines rules, including the use of the 'Count As' for models.

++ Brought information in line with most recent information listed in the newer Codex: Tyranids

++ Clarifications on the Hellkite Assault Craft, and how it is not like the new planetary lander in the upcoming Codex: Blood Angels.

++ An actual Force Disposition Chart, though I'm not quite sure WHERE to put it in the IA article. Note that it is dated about 6 years to the timeline's 'present day', as I figured it's a good place to do so, and it's around two years before a rather climactic encounter with Hive Fleet Jormungandr.

++ Yes, I actually bothered to name many of the general staff and HQ personnel in that one. I think the number of vehicles should be actually larger than a Chapter of its size, but it reflects the fact that the Azure Blades are on the road to recovery, but not quite there yet.

Unlike the Storm, which was designed to covertly insert a small squad scout-initiates

 

I think that needs an 'of' in between squad and scouts. It's in your Hellkite sidebar.

 

Darned if I could find any other mistakes, but hey, it's midnight. :P

[Espada Azul]

Whoops. Well, at least it's a small mistake, and easily remedied in the actual Librarium article.

 

Aside from that, I'm not sure what I can add at this point, except fleshing out the composition of the four intact Battle Companies (which I believe was done by another older IA). And the force disposition chart is too darned big.
