Kol Saresk Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 The Emperor never cared for us. He kept us chained like the dogs He led us to believe we were. Our gene sire broke those chains and set us free, but never did we believe that he didn't care for us. When the realisation came that we were nothing to him and that the bones of mere mortals were worth more than our legion in his heart, we had lost the choice and had to follow him into rebellion. Our brothers would be destroyed on that blasted planet by a demi-god that we had no loyalty for and no brotherhood with. We were destined to be the traitors they deem us to be. So don't fight for our primarch and don't fight for the Warmaster. Don't even fight for the gods who need our devotion. But fight for the release that those blasted scraps of metal give us all, so we may yet be free to finally know peace. I took the liberty of prettying up the quote for you. :D it is virtually the same, I've only removed one word, that was the "but" in the fourth sentence. I think it still gets across what you wanted it to? EDIT: Oh, nice fluff, by the way. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278162-warden-and-chaplains-heresy-era/page/2/#findComment-3415878 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperor's Furor Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Found my The First Heretic book, this is the part you're referring to- "Xaphen came to his captain's side, his rare, gold trimmed armour greyed by the falling dust. For once the chaplain of the 7th company resembled his brothers.." Then there's this "Erebus sat with his primarch and commander on the floor, wearing the black robe of the legion's chaplains" Perhaps I was wrong then and my memory was off, I've not been able to go through the entire book off to GW for a game of apoc. I had thought though there was a passage that said they'd painted their armour in black as a memorial to the city, perhaps I was mistaken.

Phalanx Warder Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Cormac Airt, on 08 Aug 2013 - 22:59, said: There was a thread on here already, which might have been eaten by the crash, where World Eater Chaplains were discussed. One of the potential titles I brought up was Doctore, which means teacher, and was given to certain gladiators who were tasked with the training and discipline of a gladiator troupe (can't remember what their colleges were called). Not only was he responsible for keeping the gladiators in shape and honed, but he was also the face and voice of their owner, ensuring his rules were followed to the letter and issuing out punishments where necessary. Anyone who has seen a Sparticus film or television show need only look at the character Oenomaus to know what I am talking about. Not sure of the spelling but it was pronounced Del-tori and they trained in a ludas. shamelessly stolen from the WWW. human skull, an ancient symbol of death used to mark the memory of the Emperor's great sacrifice for humanity during the Horus Heresy.

Conn Eremon Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 It's ludus, but I don't think I have heard of a Deltori, and a cursory Google search comes up zilch. Maybe you misheard Doctore? Minus the 'el,' it is the same pronunciation.

Spinsanity Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Alright, sorry for dredging up an old topic, I just found, while re-reading First Heretic, the reference WoT had been looking for previously and figured I'd post it... Argel Tal nodded, still not used to Xaphen’s repainted armour. The Chaplain’s warplate was black – darkened in remembrance of the ashes coating every warrior’s armour in MonarchiaCoupled with the previous quote shared by WoT regarding the gold-trimmed armour of Xaphen, I guess until Monarchia WB chaplains had gold-trimmed grey armour? I thought I had read somewhere that thhey wore red, but I can't seem to find anything that matches this assumption... + Edit : Dammit, my page reference disapeared...

Kol Saresk Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 The Gal Vorbak would wear red and black after the pilgrimage. What I don't recall is if Xaphen wore the red and black of the Gal Vorbak, but it is certainly a possibility since he is Gal Vorbak. But, page 36 of The First Heretic describes how the armor, not the trim, was greyed by the falling dust and for once, every warrior of the XVII looked the same. So there was some difference. It might have just been gold-trimmed.

Spinsanity Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I'll have to once more hunt and see if I can find a reference that would hint at red-armoured chaplains pre-Monarchia; that new Erebus in red-and-gold would, according to the audio commentary on the video, be his "at Monarchia" scheme, it seems...

Kol Saresk Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Or at least until that one planet they burned right after Monarchia.
