Shaezus Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Sorry if this has already been covered. What's with Tycho being named as current captain of the 3rd company? What happened to Machiavi? Surely even geedub wouldn't make a mistake like this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depthcharge12 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Hold up. Wat? I don't have the new codex but I thought he died on Armageddon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaezus Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 Exactamonto, dude :) P.13: 3rd company. 'Ironhelms'. Battle Company. Captain Tycho. Master of sacrifice. I heard he now wears a quiff and shades, plays guitar and struts around in a flashy white suit thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctus Cornix Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Nah. If you look at the bottom of his Death Company entry, you see that he fell in the Third War of Armageddon like before. If you look at the top of the Chapter listing, you'll notice it says Chapter Strength in year 998 M41. As Armageddon was in the same year, my guess its a listing before the war and the massive casualties that came with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaezus Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 Yip but what does it say under the 3rd company on page 13? Edit in response to your edit: But why? Why go back in time when everything else that has been released is about Leviathan. It's even moved forward in the new dex where it describes that battle as imminent. Little slip up it seems...

depthcharge12 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I think it would've been cooler if he vanished into legend. Like some thought he was killed but they never found a body. He turns into some sort of vengeance angel and wanders the jungles and wastes hunting orks while still in the throws of the black rage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And ruin another perfectly cool and age old death like what they did with Lysander? No thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to wait and check when I get home, but I believe that the whole "darkest hour" may have been retconned. I think the entirety of Shield of Baal takes place in 998, so this is a different hive fleet invasion than what was mentioned in darkest hour.

Charlo Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 It's just another case of GW not actually advancing any plot lines, just adding more peppered around, like the whole Shield of Baal stuff (which, is very cool at least!). I remember being so hyped for Eye of Terror as a youngster and it was really cool to think games around the world would shape the future of the game... Except that they only gave Chaos a minor victory... And the 13th Black Crusade is still ongoing or not started according to different fluff.... Oh well! TL:DR; Let's make GW's next event be the 14th Crusade coinciding with a giant WAAAAAAGH! With all the cult daemon Primarchs fusing their essence into the ultimate being of Chaos Undivided that eats Abaddon. Then all the damn loyal primarchs who "will return for the final battle" come back, Sanguinius at the helm bought back to life from all of the Blood Angel Psychic energy expended into the warp from defending Baal.... TL:DR2; A manchild can dream... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonaides Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I will point out that (unless its been retconed in this codex) that the BA's only sent a single company to Armageddon 3 - the rest of the chapter was too busy but Dante knew Tycho wouldnt be denied vengeance against the Orks who disfigured him...
