Brother Sergeant Alasseo Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 What can I say? I have an almost encyclopaedic recollection of the Gaunt's Ghosts series. After the amalgamation of the 296th/301st Valhallan, they were given two options as to designation. What were they?

Aurelius Rex Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Brother Sergeant Alasseo nearly gets the cookie on the Kane / Mars / Dragon thing from before, and is on the right track... I read it as Mars is the home of the Adeptus Mechanicus, Kane was the Fabricator-General (head of the AM) at the time of the Horus Heresy* and GW have been dropping heavy between the lines hints that the C'Tan Dragon is on mars, perhaps even pulling the strings of the cogboys... Unless I am reading too much into the names. ;) * To be historically accurate, Kane in fact became Fabricator-General after the previous incumbent sided with Horus, but you get the gist.** ** I have been re-reading Discworld books recently, hence all the footnotes. :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/43170-fluff-competition/page/96/#findComment-865872 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Sergeant Alasseo Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 @Aurelius: I'd forgotten about that, but I did say allegorical. Its possible (but not likely) that they wrote the fluff with that in mind. @Calgar, go right ahead, the stand is yours Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/43170-fluff-competition/page/96/#findComment-866120 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frostwolf Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Allasseo got it right. The Heart of Desire was a daemonically possessed throne that was in some Khârn fluff titled the Wrath of Khârn and writen by Bill King. You can find some of it in US WD 231 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/43170-fluff-competition/page/96/#findComment-867377 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwarflord1 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Thanks Frosty... Alasseo is right, as we know. As to Some Marine, I live in Gallup, which is in the far western reaches near the Arizona border.

Ok, let me see... fiendish question time: What is the common name for ammunition bearing the designation LR Mk1-S8 HVAT? ...and for a cookie: which Forgeworlds build the weapon it is used for?

Brother Sergeant Alasseo Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I'm afraid not guys.

Frostwolf Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I assume the LR stands for Leman Russ although I can'T see what the HVAT stands for (High Velocity Assault Tank?) Could it be that the ammunition you are looking for is the standart Battle Cannon shell?

Sohei_Kikuchiyo Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 LR Mk1-S8 HVAT LR= Leman Russ HVAT= High Velocity Anti Tank so this must be the technical name for a Vanquisher Anti Tank round, and my cookei guess is the GryPhonne Iv forge world produces it...

Brother Sergeant Alasseo Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Yup, and yes Gryphonne IV produces it, as does Stygies V. And for those who didn't spot the other clue I gave you: the Vanquisher is a sub-calibre round, meaning that it is a small KE dart (non-explosive) launched from the barrel in a disposable sabot, or "shoe", which drops away after firing, allowing for an incredibly large powder charge to be used without deforming the barrel.
