Space Truckin Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Does anyone know the title of the short story where the Dark Angels have tracked down "the Fallen" only to find him living a peaceful / pastoral existence as a farmer on an Agri-world? I'm interested in how this was presented and trying to imagine a normal 8-9' ft tall super human / farmer. I thought it was just referenced in the Codex but by chance I was listening to a YT chat a few days ago and guys mentioned an actual short story but not the name of it. Thanks! edit: grammar, and removed Green Acres obscure reference Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320541-farmer-fallen-short-story/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Doesn't ring any bells with me I'm afraid. I would be interested to know if it ever existed or not.

Space Truckin Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 Yeah I think the guy on Grumpy Old Gamers read a sentence in the ol' DA codex and got confused. I posted a comment, maybe they'll respond. Tharsis was a farming world, but we all know that Astelan was doing a little more than farming. I'll keep searching.

CaptainStabby Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Sounds like a riff on Thanos in the comics, post Infinity Gauntlet. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320541-farmer-fallen-short-story/#findComment-4345424 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Belial Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I know which story you are mentioning and it goes back a ways. I almost want to say it was in an issue of Inferno. A marine was knocked silly and ended up with amnesia. He woke up in a farmer's barn and helped out with the farm but when trouble comes a knocking, his suit of armor is revealed and he takes up arms against the baddies by himself. He is rescued after stemming off the assault by his chapter. I want to say he was an Ultramarine though.

He is rescued after stemming off the assault by his chapter. I want to say he was an Ultramarine though. It was in in an issue of Inferno and it was an Ultramarine, a 1st company veteran in terminator armour to be precise, and he sacrifices his life at the end of the story to kill a carnifex.

Bunta Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 That story is also in Heroes or Legends of the space marines books. Cant remember which one! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320541-farmer-fallen-short-story/#findComment-4351582 Share on other sites More sharing options...
