Grey Knights origins

I offer no praise to no faine or dirty

The 41st millenium is just an April fools joke that's stretching past it's original joke date.

 

There are no wolves on fenris

 

Especially pulling slays

 

There are no terminators operating giant suits if armour

 

there are no black Templars worshipping witches

 

There are no iron hands without bionics

Sir, yes sir!

 

So, beyond the Generally accepted conspiracy within a conspiracy within a conspiracy, et cetera et sic in aeternum, that is Janus being Omegon, Khyron(sp?) being a Nightlord and Epithemus being a Dark Angel...also that one bit about a Thousand Son being discussed earlier (can't quite remember it), which other Legions are likely to have contributed to the GKs? Just the Traitors (Dark Angels kinda count lol...don't lynch me :( ), which Loyalists would've been most likely to contribute?

 

Personally, I don't see and Iron Hand being in nor a Raven Guard (stealth > Secrecy, the latter being GK's focus and covered by AL...potentially) but do kinda see an IF Templar or Blood Angel being inducted...hmmm..thoughts?

What if no Legion did? What if the founders were taken as aspirants specifically to fulfill this fate? Maybe Legion gene-seed was used, but being of a Legion is more than just going through the augmentation process with their genetics. Maybe the first Grey Knights began as Grey Knights.

Yeah, but what if all of them began from the very earliest moment of selection as mortal juveniles as Grey Knights? Including each of the Grand Masters? Zero former Legions. Only the Grey Knights.

 

Edit: Imagine thousands of children native to Sol. Tens of thousands. Maybe more. Taken. Trained. Enhanced. Dying. Failing. More are taken. More are rejected. Until finally, they get the process right, by creating 8? that are stable, successful. We need more, but we can't. Horus is here. Hide the Eight on Titan. Hide Titan itself. Accompany them with a large supply of possible aspirants. Centuries pass. A demigod is thwarted, a god is dead, and the true gods laugh. Titans return. A Chapter stands ready. The Eight are well on their way to becoming the total bamfs they will be deemed in the future.

Well, then that puts a wrench into the whole Conspiracy theory now does it :P

 

Though, how would a Brother Knight get promoted to Grand Master if ALL of them were juveniles and learned through Hypno Therapy and War Game / inter-chapter combat drills? Promotions to Justicar are rather easily justified, them being the Lowest Command Rank, Brother-Captain, maybe the most exemplary Justicars? But Grand Masters (and later Supreme Grand Master) are harder to justify (imo) since they'd require a whole breadth of experience not found while in your own pocket dimension in the warp awaiting translation back into the materium, stuck training among'st themselves. 

 

There has to be some form of Seniority to have come from outside to lead the chapter in its formative stages; though if Knights-Errant were there ONLY as drill Sergeants and the like and were able to assign ranks and the such until their return to realspace, then yeah, I think I could see it happening, since most of those speculated to have taken part in the GK project held senior command ranks and would probably be able to judge potentials correctly.

 

Though that would mean Janus was one hell of a BAMF if he was but a standard - but exceptional - Grey Knight; one not seen in 10k years...

I'm imagining a Grey Knight version of Enders Game.

 

Not read it but would that fit with Mortarion's Heart stuff about Janus?

 

Although I would like it if all the current 'candidates' for the Grand Masters are killed off as we get closer to the point they should become the Grand Masters. I'd also like for none of the Knights Errant to become them.

Could Yesugei of the White Scars possibly be another Grey Knight founder?

 

 

I was just reading scars and noticed that he was able to banish a daemon, and possibly if he's able to link up at Terra, he might be another founder.

 

 

While it is speculated that Arvida is the founder of the Blood Ravens, is it possible for him to be a GK instead? He has to banish psychneunin with psychic powers in a similar way (well not banish, but destroy)

Because they're Grey Knights and their founding and who participated in it is more of a Thought exercise and conspiracy theory gathering more than anything :P Fun either way.

I'm not bashing the thought exercise (I gave my true thoughts on the matter a while back), I just like bringing up opposing theories to show how incredibly wide the possibilities are.
