Lord Tarkin Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 So, for all you Horus Heresy series readers, I have a question. Is Captain Aximand of the Sons of Horus dead? I can't find out whether hes a gonner or not. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286726-is-aximand-dead/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywire Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Last time I saw him, he was in Tales of Heresy... Spoilers for those that maybe haven't read it. Ends up getting his face removed, or something, in a fight with the White Scars. He survives, however. I'm still entertaining the theory in my head that it was actually Aximand that lowered the shields on the Vengeful Spirit at that climatic moment in the siege of Terra as a rather emotional Heel-Face Turn, and ends up paying the ultimate price for it, thus becoming something of an unsung hero whose sacrifice is never actually noticed.

SteelPaladin Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 IIRC, One of the White Scars(Hibou?) from the Novel Scars is the one to tear his face off. Or was it the Iron Hand? Either way I thought it was pretty neat that those two characters have reappeared recently.

Toomanyprojects Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 It was a White Scar with a medusan blade I believe. I rather think he was too far in with Abbadon to betray the Sons, but I don't think he'd have followed the first captain into the black legion. Aximands devotion was to Horus, not Abbadon. Maybe he founded the Wolves of Horus (is that the name? From the BL supplement) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286726-is-aximand-dead/#findComment-3592103 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Eremon Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Inevitably, he will be dead by the time the Black Legion becomes a thing. Black Legion supplement has Abaddon killing the last Sons of Horus captains until he is the last one left. Whether or not Aximand is still alive at that time, who knows. There is always the possibility that he ascends, exempting him from Abaddon's killing spree.

helterskelter Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 But thanks to mr adb falkus appears to be alive and he's a captain (I think?). Though I can see little horus getting mullered during the seige Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286726-is-aximand-dead/#findComment-3592117 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komrk Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I'm still entertaining the theory in my head that it was actually Aximand that lowered the shields on the Vengeful Spirit at that climatic moment in the siege of Terra as a rather emotional Heel-Face Turn, and ends up paying the ultimate price for it, thus becoming something of an unsung hero whose sacrifice is never actually noticed.I think that that would be one of two proper deaths for him. The other being him fighting Loken and then realizing what he did, letting Loken kill him. Edit: Of course no one gets a proper end in the Horus Heresy Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286726-is-aximand-dead/#findComment-3592118 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Tarkin Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Hmm, so nothing really absolutely clear as I can see.

Heru Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Maybe he founded the Wolves of Horus (is that the name? From the BL supplement)... I should have expected GW to do that. I guess my Wolves of Horus, with pretty much the same background just became legitimate... Maybe he founded the Wolves of Horus (is that the name? From the BL supplement)...

Komrk Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Hmm, so nothing really absolutely clear as I can see. Guess we'll never really frickin know Well last we saw him he was alive and that was en route to Terra so it's safe to say that he is alive at this point in the Heresy Edit: The story is also really powerful, I can't remember the name of the short story but it was in Tales of Heresy and it's really powerful and shows the effect that the fight between with Tarik, Ezekiel and Garviel had on him.

TrashMan Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Was. In the 41'st millenium he probably isn't anymore. Unless he in a dreadnought. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286726-is-aximand-dead/#findComment-3592403 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toomanyprojects Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 As it has been specifically denied that Garro is a grey knight, I was wondering if Loken was their first grand master, Janus. Sorry to hijack the thread there :) I am hoping for a noble end for Aximand, but I somehow doubt it unfortunately :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286726-is-aximand-dead/#findComment-3592414 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegnor Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I don't think it's been ruled out that Garro is a Grey Knight. Instead BL sources have mentioned that it's not a lay-down misere that the Knights Errant = the first Grey Knights, and that there could still be a lot of water to go under the bridge between where we are up to with Garro and crew now (at the end of Grey Angel) and the founding of the Grey Knights.

Toomanyprojects Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 It was in one I the white dwarfs a while back.

Lord Tarkin Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Im hoping loken is alive. But up to the 41st millienium hes been almost non-existent. I fear that somewhere along the way he was killed Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286726-is-aximand-dead/#findComment-3592433 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonaides Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Garro is not a grey knight, as he is a death guard. That is a long long way from saying that he isnt one of the founders of the grey knights... he wouldnt have gk geneseed or training for example, but could be a trainer of new gks.

Darkthorns Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 This is a question I've been wondering for a while. The last I've heard of him, other than Tales of Heresy was in Age of Darkness when he gets his face cut off.
