So looking through the vanilla Space Marine codex, I noticed that Marneus Calgar can wear his Armor of Antilochus terminator armor into battle.
But the captain of the 10th company scouts is Captain Antilochus.
Has this ever been addressed in the fluff?
In the meantime, here are my current conspiracy theories:
1. Calgar stole Captain Antilochus's armor, or the captain lost it in a bet. Captain Antilochus always deploys into battle in his tighty whities (or would they be ultramarine blue(tm)?) ever since, which provides him with an armor save of nought.
2. Calgar named his armor in honor of Antilochus, for reasons unknown to any Ultramarine. However, I know the answer: out of all the captains, Antilochus is the only one who remembers Calgar's birthday. Every year for several centuries he has sent his chapter master a tasteful card with a crisp twenty in it.
3. The armor and the captain share a common namesake. Theory is that Grandpa Antilochus was the finest techmarine in the Adeptus Mechanus, but in his day they didn't get to use drop pods, they had to footslog it, uphill, both ways, through dangerous terrain! Damn kids, get off my forge world!
4. They're actually different names. Marneus's armor is pronounced An-TILL-o-kuss, but the Captain's is an-ti-LOW-chuss. "No, no, Seargent, I don't mind correcting people. I've been doing it all my life. Why yes, it is Prussian!"

The servitor at the Imperial Hallmark Store told me. They can be such gossips when there's no techmarine on duty.

Indeed, Halmark doesn't mindwipe their servitors as often as they should. They think the personality quirks draw in customers.

Gotta say I like 2.
Just something about the picture my mind paints of Calgar trying to pick out something from Toy R Us for 20$ makes me chuckle.

So now we can add "not knocking before he enters a room" to Sicarius's long list of douchey behaviors.

Lets hope marneus don't knock when he enters rooms, with those gauntlets.
