"Tell me, captain. Is it wrong that I have dreamed of a day like this?" Vladimir drew the Fangs of Dorn from the scabbards on either side of his waist - twin power swords, their blades broad for stabbing, their hilts semicircles of glinting black stone. "That I have knelt at the altars of Dorn and prayed that one day I would face the enemy like this, in a battle that will decide whether my Chapter lives in glory or is banished to a penitents' crusade in disgrace? I have begged the Emperor to give me such a battle, toe to toe, no retreat, everything at stake. Is it wrong that I feel some joy in me that it is here?"
"We all see something else in battle," replied Lysander. "Perhaps it is a mirror in which we see a reflection of ourselves. I see a grim task to be completed, something ugly and crude, but an evil necessary for the survival of our species. You see something different."
"Most Imperial Fists would simply have said 'No', captain."
"Well, that's why you made me a captain."
It's a damn shame though. I'm not at all sure how I actually feel about it. The inviolability of characters always rather bothered me, but on the otherhand... to edge in to GRRM territory, 40k's very strongly preposterous in many respects. I suppose the question then is: how is it done? The act itself, and even the fictional facts established are broadly irrelevant. Tone, narrative beats, symbolism, delicacy... all that I can cope with much more cheerily.
How can that balance with the likes of Calgar?

Well,the fact that he's flawed makes him a better character than all the smurf marty stu even if he's not the chapter master,we have that at least

Pardon if I wasn't sufficiently clear. I tried to say that Lysander is the only IF character on par with Calgar and a newly invented Chapter Master will not be.

One of the best.
I miss those days.
May I ask what people think of some of the new rules though? Especially the new wargear. Can you see all of them becoming genuinely useful?
