Using a WE librarian. Heresy?!


Recommended Posts

After some thought (and serious consideration to buy Betrayer), I wondered about how the nails would react with WE apothecaries?

 

Do you think that they receive them as the rest of the legion, or do you guys think that it would cloud their thoughts too much and impede them from performing their battlefield duties? Hence large unnecessary World Eater casualties that could have been mitigated

Now I believe that they still did, even with apothecaries, if you look up fabrikus an apothecary of the world eaters he seemed to do his job whilst still being a psychotic nut job. Wether or not this is exactly with the fluff or not I'm not sure, but if they did it to their librarians I'm pretty sure they would with the apothecaries.

 

Doesn't Kargos Bloodspitter have the Nails?

I don't remember ever reading it but I'd assume being under kharns command he would, not to mention him and a certain flesh tearing blood angel were known to fight into the pits till extremis, so I'd safely bet he did

Yeah, that's how I pretty much understood it. Any Librarians who didn't get the Nails or any Dreads(like the former War Hounds Legion Master) who were entombed before Angron's founding were the only ones to escape the Nails.

 

Kargos is the only Apothecary we see but he seems just as lost as any of them. Actually, I think I just remembered a page number that says he has the Nails. Give me a bit to find it.

Okay, page 105, we see when Kargos tries to tend to Angron's wounds. Pages 107-109 show him treating Khârn's wound. Page 111 has Khârn telling a tech-priest to treat the XII Legion dead with honor and reverence until their gene-seed has been harvested.

 

And then there is page 128.

 

'We should charge,' Kargos insisted. Khârn saw the twitch in his brother's eyes, and the shine of saliva wetting the Apothecary's lips. 'Charge before they shell us!'

 

'This is the Nails talking,' Khârn said, but the words drowned in the cheer. They took up the Apothecary's cry, almost all of them, raising their axes to the occluded moon.

Page 120 says that most of the Librarians implanted with the Nails had them removed, not all. Page 120 also says that every Librarian who had them implanted died, whether it be to the Nails, their removal or execution by Angron.

 

The same page says that the remaining Librarians were all alone in a Legion overrun with the Nails.

 

So from all that, I'd say yes, even the Apothecaries had the Nails. They still did their duties, just when the Nails weren't singing.
