Praefectus Invictus Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Hello, Does anyone know of any fluff to do with Garviel Loken's company? After getting Horus Rising free on iBooks (for this week only), I am inspired to make Garviel's company just for fun, and to make all the characters cited in the book. Thanks.

Castiel Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 The first trilogy of the HH: Horus Rising, False Gods and Galaxy in Flames all focus on Loken, so you'll find out most of what we know about 10th Company there. Notable members and Squads are as follows: Loken (obviously :P ) Sergeant Xavyer Jubal (pre-Whisperheads) and Hellebore Tactical Squad Sergeant Nero Vipus and Locasta Tactical Squad. Can't think of anyone else of the top of my head, but there might be more.

Kol Saresk Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Nope, that's pretty much it. Everyone else mentioned is a captain of a different company(or squad in the case of Ekaddon). That said, the battle of the Whisperheads gives us an idea of the composition of his company.

Theredknight Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Isn't rassek and the terminator squads under his company banner? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299508-garviels-lokens-company/#findComment-3867431 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionofjudah Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Rassek is the captain of the terminators but I believe under the first company under Abbadon Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299508-garviels-lokens-company/#findComment-3867993 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beta galactosidase Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Straight from Laurie Goulding himself (an editor at BL): At the time of 'Horus Rising', Garviel Loken is Tenth Captain of the XVI Legion 'Luna Wolves'. Tenth Company is made up of about 300 legionaries, across 13 formal squads and command groups. The First Squad is called Hellebore, though Third Squad is Loken's favourite - Locasta Tactical Squad. There are named sergeants for each squad: Vipus of Locasta Jubal of Hellebore Rassek of the single Terminator squad Talonus of Pithraes Kairus of Walkure and eight more. Hope that helps! Anyway, if there is anything else to say, it might be that Loken is a semi-senior captain, and he could have one or two centurion-level captains leading squads in tenth company. He doesn't appear to, though. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299508-garviels-lokens-company/#findComment-3868017 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AekoldHelbrass Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 In Horus Rising, when they were embarking onto Stormbirds to go to Whisperheads, it said something like 300 of them were embarking on this deck into 6 stormbirds, and another 6 stormbirds on the other side of the ship. So I concluded his company should be around 600 strong, or I'm missing something? Of course there are only 13 sergeants, not enough to deal with 600 marines, but...

Conn Eremon Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Maybe the other six were another company departing alongside them, or perhaps the three hundred were divided among all twelve? The wording is a bit vague, I suppose, but it reads to me like the latter is more likely.

Well, according to Horus Heresy Book: 1 Betrayal the size of the companies in the 16th Legion varied vastly, the smallest company recorded was only 36 marines and the largest company 972 marines.

Yes, I know that, but in addition we know that Loken had only 13 sergeants, which is not enough for 600 strong company. On the other hand, book is really old and naming was not yet established at the time, so could be that Abnett meant centuripns or senior sergeants or something like that?
