Brother Syddraf Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 In trying to integrate the new primaris marines into my army I found a paragraph from the fall of cadia that said the last time the 4th company was seen was fighting from a downed ship north of the last fortress battle. I haven't found anything to say they retreated off world before it got pulled in to the warp. So is the 4th company missing in action? And if so how is Azreal filling that hole. Is this just GW killing off guys to make room for primaris in the dark angels?

Aothaine Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Wait... 4th company is MIA? Lol! Go figures I would randomly choose a missing company to build.

Komodo Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Hmm, either all of them are dead fighting chaos hordes or some of them escaped along with Celestine.

Trevak Dal Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 If they died I like to picture them going out like Noble Six at the end of Halo Reach, out numbered, outgunned and taking like 4-5 guys to bring each of them down as Cadia shakes itself apart.

Master Sheol Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 4th company was nearly annihilated on Cadia Simple way for GW (heavy losses) to put numareenz in every chapter :P D3L 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/336569-what-did-happen-to-the-4th-company/#findComment-4817617 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Syddraf Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) @Aothaine I got the battle of calth boxset as a base to my 4th company but no matter the cause the 4th will always need warriors. My current idea is to have pirmaris marines as a second company formation within the company. One company master leading multiply company champions ( lieutenants and traditional champions ), champions leading a block of ten squads with Ancients banner bearers everywhere ( want to get into doing my own custom decals so I can do banners with historical events, like the 4ths last stand ) For the 4th I'll use the new Gravis captain but I won't have him as the official master of my 4th, he accepted the role temporarily as master til the final fate of the 4th is found.

Grand Master Belial Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) Well if the retcon didn’t happen, Sammael was the Master of the 4th back in 2nd Ed and could help with the ritual and initiations specific to the 4th to at least begin the rebuilding process.

Komodo Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Brother Syddraf, Well a hundred years passed since Fall of Cadia, even if 4th company was completely obliterated there, DA would rebuild it using their reserve companies. I would say -- let's wait for a new codex to arrive, hopefully with more details. I have struggle on how to fit new primaris marines into my 3rd company. Would really like to see the new chapter structure.

Solrac Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 In case you haven't read it The fighting around the downed Dark Agnels Strike Cruiser wasn't the last time the Dark Angels were seen on Cadia. Company Master Korahael was put in command of the mixed chapter Battle Company when the Chaos ground assault started against the main stronghold on Cadia. There was some pretty awesome fluff with the Dark Angels in it during this time however we never found out what happened to Korahael but he must have died as he was never mentioned in anything after the Imperium got off world. Either that or he is still alive just was never mentioned.

Aothaine Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Interesting stuff here. Regardless of the outcome my Chapter Master will be of my own design. And 4th Company is going to be crazy as balls with Plasma. ^_^ Talking 14 Plasma Cannons, 6 Plasma Guns, ~11 Combi-Plasmas and or Plasma Pistols as well as a ton of other nasty stuff. Still trying to decide if I want my razorbacks to be twin lascannons or lascannon and twin plasma guns lol!
