Anvilarium Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 In short, it makes absolutely no sense for Angron's implants to be removable and this line has therefore been retconned. I don't really see the issue. Is anyone here still thinking that the Ultramarines are a 2nd Founding Chapter with a Half-Eldar Chief Librarian? No? Let's move on then. This. Case closed!!!

That Tigirius is rather a rather squirrely fellow, what with getting Divination when no one else does, and that whole "psychic mastery beyond the pale" thing. I could see him still being half-Eldar...

I'm sure you'll find someone who'd argue the toss with you about it though. One of my friends is still bitter about that. Give him the opportunity and he will complain that the Ultramarines should not be one of the legions. On the other hand I think he's happy to forget about the half-eldar Chief Librarian.

Human women would fall all over them. I don't see what Eldar females would see in human dudes.

Legatus Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Is anyone here still thinking that the Ultramarines are a 2nd Founding Chapter with a Half-Eldar Chief Librarian? Ahem. They were a 3rd Founding Chapter (founded in 001.M32, a few decades before the Space Wolves, who were founded at some point after 041.M32). And the half-eldar was not a Librarian, he was "only" an Astropath, though the formal title back then was "Chief Librarian Astropath". He had served with the Dark Angels before being assigned to the Ultra-Marines as chief of the Macragge interstellar communications link.

Which is made all the more hilarious by the old 'Dark Angels wear dresses' hassle. I know it wasn't intentional, and I get it is a stretch, but ooh, Jesus. Dat mental image.

Dosjetka Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Right, well since people persist with off-topic talk, I'm giving you all one last warning. Either post something on-topic (ie. concerning Graham McNeill and his writing and/or the Horus Heresy novel False Gods) or don't post at all.
