There are sections of Codexes written from a Narative point of voice in universes. Most isn't. It's Real World information for us players.

Nopes. Everything with the 40K logo on it follows the same rules of what's true and what's not.

So what do you gauge the truth to be on the matter of the Grey Knight's geneseed then A D-B? Can we state with good certainty that it is sampled from the Emperor (on the same level we commonly consider the geneseed of the first founding legions to be sampled from their respective primarchs) or is the truth more 'blurred' by comparison?

 

:D

Taking a shot in the dark, but it probably is along the lines of "Wouldn't you like to know".

 

Either that or

Or you will get pulled into your computer like in tron and be at the mercy of the ADB... I mean MCP.

 

:D

 

Pretty sure though he won't speculate deny or confirm this.

 

Or else the ordo malleus will classify him as a traitor consorting with Deamons and heretics.

 

And then no more masterpieces By ADB

Well, they have a bloody Thunder Warrior figure out how to craft basement made gene-seed at the end of The Outcast Dead. What the hell else is BL going to use it for?

The creating author is Graham McNeil. Are you sure you want to find out after the whole "Honsou had a greater destiny" plotline?

Getting your butt kicked at Calth by the Ultramarines isn't the glorious epitome of a Chaos Space Marine's existence?

They've been listening to Failbaddon too much and the lines between victory and loss has been blurred.

 

 

 

Honsou just wanted to be an Ultramarine like the Word Bearers but then those pesky ultras killed them

I actually think it would be cooler if the Grey Knight founding grand masters were not anyone from the original legions. If at the end of the Heresy, the Emperor or Malcador turned around and said to Garro, Loken, et al "You guys are great, and you've done your duty. But for the future now facing the Imperium, you are inadequate to the task because in the end you are only Legiones Astartes - with the same flaws as all your kind. Here are the first of a new breed of marines - created in secret as the Emperor's last gift to Mankind, they will takeover the watch you have started. Commander Janus - these servants of the Emperor have outlived their usefulness - please dispose of them."

 

That would be a much more fitting grimdark ending than "then all the characters you liked survived and formed a super-cool secret super-spy club, with an invisible moon base and cool weapons and stuff. And they hung out and had cool adventures together forever." ;)

Aegnor, which is why the introduction of new fluff that you can replace a Marines Gene-seed.

 

It was the only way to turh those existing surviviors into Emperor-lite super soldiers.

 

As far as I can remember, never before now was it even thought possible to remove a Marines Gene-seed (without killing him), let alone replace it with new ones. Mutate existing Gene-seed, sure.

 

But removal ment death.

Too much of a difference between Primarch creation and Astartes creation.

 

Astartes are normal humans augmented by vat-grown organs and modifications controlled and regulated by an organ that contains the genetic legacy of their Primarch.

 

Primarchs were created from nothing, both body and soul, utilizing forbidden Warp science and the genetic tissue of a living not-God.

 

It doesn't make sense that the Emperor could be utilized as a Primarch is for the cultivation and augmentation of a Marine army. The GK Codex is being taken too literally and out of context. It's not written as being absolute fact. If you read the whole section, it makes it rather clear that it is information barely recorded and mostly based off of what is believed to be true.
