Has anyone else ever really thought about the captain that you get in the black reach box set for 40k? The way he is painted on the back of the box is ultramarines, and with the gold trimmings of the shoulder pads, showing he belongs to the 2nd company. Is this a mistake, because i know for certain that Cato Sicarius is the captain of the ultamarines 2nd company. Is that captain supposed to be sicarius, because he does not have the correct weaponry, or is it a mistake by the 'eavy metal team?  Thanks in advance.

They just wanted him to look shiny for the noobs so they'd want to buy the set.

Though fluff wise it IS supposed to be Sicarius.

As that guy said.
Fluff wise it is supposed to be Sicarius like the Warboss is Zanzag. Sadly enough there aren't any rules for Zanzag

Noobs who buy AoBR, obviously. 
Once they learn the game proper-like, they promptly discard him to the bits box or bin.

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.
That is not dead which can eternal lie ...
