BLACK BLΠFLY Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 It's possible but not absolute proof. They would have to come right out and say it. Now if ever Alaric had shouted: "Blood for the Blood God!" Then yes I would agree with you. Alaric was forced to think outside the box to escape his terrible predicament. I do understand where you are coming from and you have a good case to support your position.

Something Wycked Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 It's possible but not absolute proof. They would have to come right out and say it. ;) :D "[inquisitor Nyxos] had probably seen just about every strange and terrible form corruption could take, but a Grey Knight who had fallen was beyond any of that." They kinda, um, did come right out and say it. :blink: How do you get any clearer than a 3rd person omniscient narrator stating that Alaric had fallen? ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240331-fallen-grey-knights/page/4/#findComment-2909565 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Lord Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Blood Sacrifices are NOT sanctioned Imperial magics. Ben Counter's Sacrifice short story seems to suggest that sacrificing psykers, and ordinary "pure" humans- is the main way to create the wards for GK armour- and psycannon bolts- using their blood.

Chengar Qordath Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Once you fall it's not like you get back up. G :) Sure you can. Just because most of the people who fall to Chaos continue following Chaos doesn't mean it's impossible to turn back. Heck, you could even say it's a testament to how pure the GKs are that when one falls, he can still find a way to return. Granted, 99% of the time the Imperium will kill someone who fell even if they come back, just to be safe.

BLACK BLΠFLY Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Can you give an example of any character that has gone to Chaos then come back? Just curious. Theoretically anything is possible but there are some things that are highly unlikely to occur.

*Furyou Miko Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 Kais, as well, from the Fire Warrior novelisation. Ok, so he went from Tau to Khorne to Tau again to comatose, but it's the same idea. He went so Khorne that he took out five Chaos Space Marines in close combat in a confined space (although admittedly, he was mostly using point-blank carbine shots rather than his fists, as far as I could tell. It's a bit of a blur, which is impressive in text). Oh, I know. Anyone in the "penitent" category in Inquisitorial retinues. Technically, the unit was "Blank/something/Penitent Witch", but the idea was that the last group was a psyker who had fallen to chaos, then repented and was paying off his sins by acting as a psychic lightning rod to protect the Inquisitor from enemy powers.

BLACK BLΠFLY Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 That is a great example (i.e., Kais) ! Funny enough I was thinking about that novel this morning due to this very discussion. I believe he becomes Commander Farsight... not absolutely certain though.

*Furyou Miko Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 There's no supporting evidence that the filthy Ultra-loving xeno ever woke up from his coma, let alone became a military commander.

BLACK BLΠFLY Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Think about it. Farsight split off from the Tau and endorses very aggressive tactics. It makes sense to me. Also it seems clear that the Smurfs seem to have an affinity for him as well.

*Furyou Miko Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 I think you mean 'endorses'. Eschews would mean that he avoids them. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240331-fallen-grey-knights/page/4/#findComment-2910003 Share on other sites More sharing options...
