Augustus Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Its official he's one of the best fighters throughout the Legiones Astartes Dunno if anyone saw it but: "Sevatar is known as one the most lethal warriors of the entire Legiones Astartes. His name and skill are as well known as Abaddon of the Sons of Horus, Corswain of the Dark Angels, Ralderon of the Blood Angels or Eidolon of the Emperor's Children." Yay.

Master Sheol Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Corswain is the second in command of Azrael after Luther is sent back to Caliban... And if i rememebr right he is the first Supreme Grand Master of DA Legion (and Chapter after the codex of the great smurf)... So i expect a Amazing miniature of him when the HH book of DA vs NL or DA vs fallen will happen (unfortunately it may take 3 to 5 years considering how slow is FW)...

Brother-Sergeant Bohemond Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 None of that is confirmed and he is not the second-in-command after Luther is sent back. Corswain is probably our top fighter, closely followed by Astelan and Alajos. Its stated in Savage Weapons, at which point he is the Champion of the 9th Order. Following that debacle during the Thramas Crusade, Corswain is appointed as the Lion's Seneschal and basically acts as his right hand man, not necessarily his second-in-command per se, but something close to it. (shown during 'The Lion' in The Primarchs) Speculation suggests that he may very well be the first Supreme GrandMaster of the Unforgiven and the Dark Angels. Although some speculate he may become Cypher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantras Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 If you read the novel Ravenwing, there is an award which bears Corswains name for the best close combat fighter in the Chapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candleshoes Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Sorry for dragging this back to life, but I read something that settles this a bit. In Dan Abnett's new Unremembered Empire, The Lion commands 20,000 Dark Angels in Ultramar, and Corswain commands the rest of the Legion still in Thramas. Even Guilliman takes note of Corswain's absence. New info is that with The Lion, are two new Dark Angel commanders: Holguin, a voted lieutenant of the Deathwing - bears a 6 foot executioner's blade sword Farith Redloss, a voted lieutenant of the Dreadwing - carries a massive war axe and bears a skull in hourglass symbol - Possibley a tie to the Star Phantoms?

Augustus Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 Nice find about the possible Star Phantoms connection Candleshoes. Farith's name seems out of place, does it not? Faith Redloss? UR was almost a Dark Angels novel. ADB and Abnett have rehabilitated the Lion. "Beloved Corswain." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Rohr Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 What were the other wings? Dread, Death, Raven? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouroboros13 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 In Unremembered Empire the Dreadwing, Deathwing and Stormwing are mentioned. The voted lieutenants of the Deathwing and Dreadwing seem to be the Lion's subordinates while Corswain in unavailable. The Stormwing is mentioned in the context of a Stormwing Assault Squad. We are told there are six wings in total and that they date from when the First Legion operated alone and without assistance. The Ravenwing isn't mentioned in Unremembered Empire, but in Call of the Lion there is mention of the Order of the Raven's Wing. Oddly, this seems to be a Calibanite thing, which seems inconsistent with the wings being pre-Lion structures. How this is resolved remains to be seen; it's possible the wings were renamed after the discovery of Caliban, but that they as structures pre-date it.

Magos Valkamar Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 The Ravenwing is mentioned in Descent of Angels, it's described as being made from knights that act as the Order's scouts. Seeing as this was before the Emperor came to Caliban, it just makes things even more complicated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facmanpob Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 P193 of Descent of Angels states that a Deathwing is a Calibanite predator (not a great beast, just a normal type of nasty predator). So (having not yet read UE) if UE says that Deathwing was one of the 6 wings from the earliest operation of the first legion it looks like someone at Black Library hasn't done their editing correctly!
