Inquisitor Kravin Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Killed the arbites overseeing the Penal Legion. Brought down an enemy fortress with a suicidal assault upon the magazine. Killed 10,000 enemies using only his official guard issue toothbrush and a banana. (I think that my guesses might be getting a bit extravagant!)

Aurelius Rex Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Hehe, you are way off so far, Kravin. ;) It is an old and obscure reference, so a small hint / clarification: The siege was of the penal legion's own barracks, and they were the defenders.

Inquisitor Kravin Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Ahhh...this vaguely rings a bell. Is this the chap who ate members of his own garrison? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelius Rex Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Close enough! 'Porky' Peitt was said to have fried and eaten wounded troopers to make sure he did not go hungry over the course of the months long siege. ;) From the first book of the Astronomican 40K supplement. (Circa 1988) Next question, =][= Kravin. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Kravin Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Thanks Aurelius. I hope that my next question lasts longer than the last which was answered in the first post! (By Aurelius, who else!) Here goes: How many Ultramarines died in total over the course of the whole Metaform Helus campaign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inquisitor Kravin Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 You're thinking of the battle of Macragge where the whole first company died. Wrong battle but you have hit on the correct enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inquisitor Kravin Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 To save several pages of randomly selected numbers I'll narrow it down a bit: I'm pretty sure that if more than 100 marines (equivalent to a whole company) were killed in one action then it would have got more of a mention in the fluff. I'm only aware of one fluff reference to this event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here goes: How many Ultramarines died in total over the course of the whole Metaform Helus campaign? I thought it was the Blood Angles on Metaform Helus. Hmm.... Ill say 60.

Inquisitor Kravin Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 And the winner is...[drum roll, etc.] BROCK! [Applause!! Cheering!] It was my birthday yesterday and I was feeling capricious so I thought I'd set a trick question and see how long it would take to get caught! I'm hoping that because it was my birthday you guys will let me off and not lynch me! The Ultramarines did not participate in Metaform Helus, it was the Blood Angels 5th Company under Captain Menelus Arcite who fought the ten day campaign to cleanse the hive city of infestation. Total Imperial casualties are unknown but Captain Arcite himself died of wounds sustained during combat with a Purestrain genestealer and was posthumously decorated. Those of you who answered none could argue that you were correct but I think that Brock demonstrated the greatest knowledge fluff so I hand the Holy Baton Of Questioning on to him.
