Barakel Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Brothers, Not sure how to use spoiler tags and not sure if this has already discussed so bare with me I havent finished reading Betrayer yet but came across an interesting paragraph (around page 165 IIRC) in relation to the World Eaters pit fighting. As already stated in Butchers Nails, Amit captain of the Blood Angels 5th Company earned the epithet The Flesh Tearer for his brutally savage nature in combat and in Betrayer its revealed that Amit was frequently paired with Kargos the Bloodspitter and that the 2 usually dueled to beyond 3rd blood and even to the point of death, something that even Khârn would never agree to. This would mean that Amit and Kargos had experience in killing other astartes years before the Heresy. My question is this, how is Amit able to accept the death of these astartes in the pits when in Fear To Tread hes ashamed of his actions on Signus Prime (dont know how to use spoiler tags - but most of us know what happened). Is this just due to the fact that the fight wasnt agreed to or that he had lost himself to his nature and realised that he was on a dangerous path? This was hinted at by one of the Word Bearers in Fear To Tread (Erebus IIRC) that Amit was the furthest along the 8th fold path in the Blood Angels Legion.

Olis Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 How to use spoilers: You'll find the relevant button in the top left of the reply box (the white box thingy with blue and green in it that's third from the left). First highlight the text you want to spoiler, then click that button and run down the given menu to find the spoilers option. Select that and you're good to go. Hope that helps.

Augustus Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Amit basically murdered his space wolf allies who, in his delusional mind, betrayed him. Amit in the Cages is a fight to the death and it is agreed upon. It not really murder IMO. Under established rules Amit can justify it anyway he wants. The former....

Kol Saresk Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Yes, in the cages the deaths were "sanctioned." In the battlefield, it was forced. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/272307-kin-slayer/#findComment-3320460 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantras Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I guess its about control, Amit totally lost it when he killed the SW on Signus, yet in the cages they all knew what the deal was.

Augustus Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Does Amit have any redeeming features? He's ashamed of his actions but he eventually leads a chapter that commits actions in the same vein all the time.

He's ashamed of his actions but he eventually leads a chapter that commits actions in the same vein all the time. He's not afraid to speak his mind. He'll be direct even if others would choose to be more circumspect.

Mantras Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 And he is a total badass. He stands up to Sang. He's what we all want Raldoron to be, a champion who casts the same sort of shadow as Abaddon, Sevatar and Sigismund Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/272307-kin-slayer/#findComment-3321865 Share on other sites More sharing options...
