Garro: Oath of Moment & Garro: Legion of One

Correct me if I am wrong, but I am sure in old fluff on the inquisition it was founded by four lords, while the GK were founded by eight astartes. We have 6or7 of the astartes by name (if we use Janus in the old fluff) but none of the mortals or lords. The fact that it mentions lords rather than lords and ladies suggests that the SOS wasnt one of them.......so what happened to her?

 

also Malcador wouldnt have gone from being de-facto lord of it all, to just lord of the inquisition, so i dont think he was one of the four either, he would have stayed as Regent of Terra surely!

 

so we still need 2 astartes and all four mortals............any ideas?

 

after the emproeres death would any of the custodes have moved across?

For someone who hasn't been able to hear either audio book, who are/what are the names of these Astartes, and what legions do they come from? I've been building models around my favorite HH characters that have been brought to life (so to speak) in the books. Would really like to keep expanding the team.

Crimson Cartel, tbh I havent heard them myself, but these are the ones that have been mentioned on this board:

 

Known Astartes:

Loken (Lunar wolves)

Qruze (Lunar Wolves

Varren (World Eaters)

Garro (Death Guard)

Mmhotep (1k sons)

Rubien (Ultramarines)

 

The seventh is from old fluff on the inquisition and is called Janus, no idea of origin or legion, and he may well be retconned!

 

if so I imagine 7/8 will have a more loyalist edge to them maybe Blood angel or IF.

Ever since Legion I have no doubt that at least half of the Alphas are loyal to the Emperor just not the Imperium.

The reason I say half is that in the past they show Alphas really Chaosy,that could be that One twin stays true and the Other seduced by the Dark sid..I mean Chaos.

Or..just by thier very nature the Alphas aways operated in Teams/Warbands,I just do not see them deploying as a whole Legion at once.

It would be perfectly reasonable that only a few thousand fall to Chaos during thier time undercover and both the Twin are still Loyal.

Qurze in AoD has his armour all greyed out suggesting that he is a founding member and one of the eight. Janus is mentioned in old fluff, rubio, varren and loken in new fluff. That leaves 2 places to be filled.

 

I have not found any mention of a Janus in any old fluff. Would you or anyone be so kind as to give your source for this? As i understand it the first mention of Janus was in the NEW GK Codex. I think Janus is Garro's new name once he becomes a True GK. I think all the 8 will take on new names that are rooted in mythology. Janus, Cerberus,.....

I'm guessing Janus is Loken

seeing as he has two "faces" , Cerberus and Garviel Loken. Like the two faced god "Janus"

Though at the same time it would be weird to have a non psyker be the leader of the allpsyker chapter. Maybe Malcador will give him some powers in the next GK 'dex ;)

Janus could well be an already known chracter with a new name, sounds plausible, and kind of fits with the way we believe GK's work.

 

so that leaves us with 6, any ideas for the last two? I am guessing a loyalist for one, poss an IF, they always seemed to give men up to the deathwach, so why not the GK as well. Maybe a primarch, or is that to "out there"?

 

Also what happened to the SOS, is she mentioned in the audiobooks at all? i would love to know her role, as in FotE she seems just as key to Malcadors plans as the two astartes.

Lord Lorne i think is right. Guys dont forget wasnt it so that Grey Knights didnt use their normal name...they get a name from the chapter...so it could be that the first Chaptermaster must choose a new name for him...so it could also be Garro that was the first Grandmaster because of the Name changes they need to do...
Reading another post, it seems there is a voice for Avida (spelling?!) from rebirth to be a candidate!

 

Arvida............. Brother-Sergeant Revuel Arvida (Corvidae, master of the shifting patterns of the future)

 

 

Damm. You might have a point there. I would have to say he has a better chance then Mhotep. Just when i was starting to get comfortable with my list you have to do this... That thought is going to piss off the people who think he founds the Blood Ravens.

I love being the voice of controversy!

 

it makes sense, he is left alone, doesnt know where is loyalties lie, where his legion is, and hates at least one of the traiter legions!

 

If there is to be only one 1kson within the eight, then I bet its him. plus he has the skills to train new GK's

You know, If i were Garro and i was looking for a stray 1kson, i guess i would have to check out Prospero. I mean he went to Istvaan III. and Calth, Right?.

Was it definate, havent read the book for quite a while?

 

I just think Arvida makes more sense slotting into the GK set up than he does starting up a new chapter at the next founding. It follows the pattern of Qurze seeking out individuals like he has done with varren and rubio.

 

Who started the BR's........i dont know, but I just dont think it was Arvida as lots of people are suggesting, seems to neat and tidy, and that doesnt rub with everything else the HH series has sprung on us

Gotta go with Arvida for a GK founder, rather than Mhotep.

 

Ok, i think I can agree with you. As much as i would like to See Mhotep live. If i was going to put money on it i would go with Arvida

 

 

Loken -- Luna Wolves

 

Qruze -- Luna Wolves

 

Tarvitz -- Emperors Children

 

Garro -- Death Guard

 

Varren -- World Eaters

 

Arvida -- Thousand Son

 

Tarrasch -- Iron Warriors

 

Rubio -- Ultramarines

 

Now i guess we just need to see how Tarvitz survives, /If/ he dose. I'm feeling Real good about the other 7.

Malika, good point, but maybe thats a good thing, they have seen their brothers and their primarchs turn, but have stayed the course. they can accept and deal with heresy better, and hence are better at tackling it.

 

You have the Ultra and poss another loyalist legion member (I reckon the IF's will have someone in there) to provide a balance maybe.

I think Arvida's going to be the Blood Raven's founder, much as he would fit in here.

 

He's a member of the Corvidae (and his shoulder pad is described again in case we didn't know it had a raven on it), he has vowed to find and unite the rest of the t-sons out there and search for the truth, and he utters the phrase Knowledge is Power, The Blood Ravens' motto. Combine that with the hints in A Thousand Sons, and I think his role is elsewhere.

ODM it does seem to fit better, but there is a thread with A-D-B (not sure which one) where he goes out of his way to say that dropped hints like this dont neccessarily mean what everyone wants them too.

 

I just like the idea of Garro scouring the galaxy for independant marines still loyal to the Big E for his band of eight. Arvida would fit that scenario. just my thoughts. hope they tie up his role either way as either result seems cool.
