Lord Kallozar Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Just out of curiosity, Ive noticed that the Pyre warband is said to have turned traitor during the 13th Black Cusade which is set in 999.M41. But now I've seen on lexicanum that the Pyre were first encountered in 131.M41. So which one is it? Can anyone shed some light on this for me please? Ans is there any fluff on how/why the Pyre turned traitor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 The 131.M41 bit is from Deathwatch - The Achilus Assault. On a related note, there is a thread in the Amicus as to whether FFG fluff is considered canon or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnus Thane Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Well canon canon is retconned and dates frequently are in error too in regular sources or so i've been told. (I never bother to compare all those dates) FFG's stuff is thoroughly checked and doublechecked by GW. GW is (rightly so) rather neurotically obsessed with ensuring the quality of their product.

Feste Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 It's always worth considering in this sort of question, 'First encountered by whom?'. The Pyre might have turned traitor earlier, but only appeared in a subsector half-way across the universe a hundred years later. When dealing the warp etc, and general FTL travel, it's not unreasonable to think that it might have taken them that long to get where they were encountered.

RolandTHTG Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Plus the Haydex anomaly near where the Deathwatch RPG is set is known to mess with time, even worse than the warp usually does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
