Captain Aphael


Cpt. Salvatore

Recommended Posts

Captain Aphael, leader of the 2nd company "The Blooded". Surely a figure of awe and perfection as every Blood Angels Captain. But, how does he look like? What are his favourite weapons? How does his personal heraldry look like? What kind of person is he?

 

Are there any knowledge of this man? Somewhere in some book or codice? Or is there not? And if not, wouldn't it be nice to create this background for him? And ultimately for other captains that are not made? Of course, every player can make him as he likes, but, wouldn't a certain degree of unification be nice?

th name looks familiar...im thinking of a story in the old ba codex...ill check...

As for wargear, id assume that he got tycos suit of armour, it being gold and the company symbol being gold/yellow. if by personal heraldy you mean the back banner its likely the same as tychos as its a version of the company symbol but altered slightly so his is likely the same. Ill go check if its the same guy...

 

Ok nope it a different guy. incase anyones interested there was a vet sargent called adeon who was armed with a plasma pistol and powerfist... And he kicked some nid ass...

To be honest I know pretty much nothing about this guy except what is in the codex (which is very little). What I do know is that Tycho was captain of the third company and therefore Captain Machiavi probably inherited Tycho's armour. Aphael as captain of the second company probably does not have artificer armour :)

Ok yea got them mixed up but meh...lol. but i leave my point as the company colour is yellow/gold he could be weaping artificer arour in those colours, mine is(see banner)

Found some fluff for him in the codex actually! well 2. lok at the legend forged of blood and youll see hes named twice, one under the world engine where he ercts the memorial to the astral knights, and the second under the battle for antax. now at first glance thats only 2 lines of fluff, ut then 2 pages later (so thats page 20) you have a page and a half on his company at this battle. not much on hm but tere is the old shabby picture of the captain fighting orks armed with a power weapon and some form of plasma weapon... so you could use that as a basis, which would be cool and i would applaud you for doing so. Though you can change the weaponry if you want but id say that the plasma thing looks cool and would be worth trying...

That what your looking for?

It was a just a joke. A figured that as a Captain he couldnot be earing artificier armour as captains are not allowed to take it...acording to the codex :)

PS not saying that i agree with that! Captains would look way cooler with it.

Some made up guy. It is hardly difficult to do a continuity check on the already published BA material. The captain of the second company is Lazarus, according to How to paint space marines. Perhaps this is his first name and Aphael is his surname.

 

Just making up names because you can't be bothered to cross refer is lazy, and really annoys me.

 

I assume Lazarus is the guy (from Epic?) Illustrated with the animal skin in the middle of the big battle in the rulebook and the codex. Most of the men around him seem to be second company.
