You mean http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110306234602/warhammer40k/images/8/83/Terramap.jpg ? It was a less than useful image that looked arbitrarily designated.

karden00 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I'm reasonably sure that an even better image of a globe with imperial and ecclesiastical palaces from the third edition brb. It showed the imp palace in Asia, and the ecclesiastical one in the Andes, iirc.

Conn Eremon Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 That is the only one I have seen with actual features pointed out or otherwise visible. If there is another one, I'd be interested in seeing it.

Lord Lorne Walkier Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 but if you also factor in that the Australian Colonies being established as Penal Colonies, as was the moon Deliverance... its all circumstantial i know, and i wouldnt have thought that the raven guard and white scars would have shared their recruitment pool. Well i think this is the kind of tangent i can ride. Would the part "-XIX remained close to their Terran roots and were observe to apply war paint made of Asiatic dust to theri faces on the eve of a battle, this gave rise to the LW giving them several titles among which were, Pale Nomads and the Dust Clad" push this theory any?

I think it could go with any theory because it kind of depends on where the Asiatic dust fields are. I was thinking more about this and if it does in fact mean the -Stan area, then could they have gotten some inspiration from the Afghani freedom fighters who fought the Soviet Union (as the Xeric tribes are said to fight the larger Yndonesian Bloc)? The hit and run tactics match up too, I think. I do like the Australia theory a lot though.

Marshal Rohr Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Australia would be part of panpacifica. The Indonedic Bloc would be the Asian Tigers.

Kais Klip Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Taliban, Viet Cong, Csushi Gangdruk; the message is clear; hard people from hard lands dubiously beating the crap out of soft people coming from softer lands. Me likely. And a serious nod to Bligh for the grimdark Terrans, my strike company won’t be tolerating any benevolent freedom fighters tomfoolery, not to mention abandoning the homeworld. Whats that, an impossibly large malevolent entity seeking to claim the Dhawalagiri pass? Yes, whatever can we possibly do, Corax… Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289401-raven-guard-fluff-from-extermination/page/4/#findComment-3660461 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voron Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Threadnomancy.... I've recently read the book, and it's certainly controversial. I think there's nothing to say that Corax didn't know that his Terrans (and maybe others) were lodge members, after all the Khan knew about it and tolerated it (I think he says 'I'm not a tyrant' or something); I suspect Corax was tolerant. It seems to me strange that Horus wouldn't see the repercussions of his actions until too late, but in the end clearly he did because the 3 legions of the Dropsite Massacre were clearly those that he knew could never be won around, and so needed to be destroyed (kudos to us!) What I think is more strange is the likes of Arkhas Fal, who Corax just couldn't work with and he sent basically into exile - thus escaping Gate 42, Istvann V and other battles - maybe to return again?! Presumably this would constitute a sizable part of the legion after those events, I think this loose end will have to be tied up at some point... Concerning. As for units, dislike the Moriat (RG death company, boring), love the Mor Deythan (and realsied Sharrowkin (absolutely amazing character of the Heresy) is one). Dislike Kaedes Nex, love Capt Alvarex (and realised recently he's actually in Raven's Flight - hope he makes a return appearance).
