Hmm... we should really just ban Draigo threads.

Everyone has already talked about how much we hate Draigo already, and it just has so much hate..

**Abadabadoobaddon**

Draigo: I must break you.

Marbo: Dis wuhnz fuh Uhpuhluh!*

* You know, because Marbo has a speech impediment.

**InquisitorVaron**

A tad paradoxical?

Eldar: A Webway Gate is breached during a fight between Draigo and some Daemons. The Eldar show up to banish the daemons and fix the gate. Grey Knights arrive hoping to contact and recover their lost Supreme Grand Master.

Tyranids: The Shadow in the Warp is causing a massive daemonic exodus, Draigo is swept up with the rest of the tide and forced into the real world. Grey Knights arrive hoping to contact and recover their lost Supreme Grand Master.

Not every battle needs a narrative, and even then, the codex writers shouldn't have to explain these things for you. If you care enough about the story, you're able to make something up on your own.

Nice fluff. I agree that you don't need to explain exactly why Team A and Team B are fighting. Given the distribution of armies, there's probably so many Marine vs. Marine battles that it's probably a good idea not to think about it too much. It was more to point out an additional bad aspect to his fluff. In some ways, Draigo is similar to the Sanguinor, but at least in the Sanguinor's fluff, they had the good sense to leave a lot of the details vague.

**Mr Morden**

Indeed some nice fluff ideas - although I think the Shadow in the Warp would have the opposite effect on Daemons, making it less likely to be able to mainfest?

The old WH and DH codexes had lots of good stuff like this IIRC

**iproxtaco**

Both Daemons and Tyranids appeared at the same time in the same battle, fighting each other. Grey Knight's arrive to find an artifact before it's too late. This is the basic story of an entry in the Codex.

WHAT THE **** IS EVERYBODY SAYING ABOUT DRAIGO KILLIN MORTARION!!!!!! He killed M'kar the REborn!

And he beat Mortarion, Carving the name of the old Grandmaster into Morty's heart while he did so.

And Technically he didn't kill M'kar, because daemons don't die. >.>

**Coolyo294**

When did Draigo fight M'kar?

**Void__Dragon**

Coolyo294 wrote:When did Draigo fight M'kar?

Uh, like twice.

It was his first noteworthy heroic deed, defeating M'kar at Acralem. Then M'kar returned to Acralem, and Draigo banished him again, but was pulled into the Warp as well.

Just no one remembers because they are raging too hard about Morty.

Hell until I read the Codex, I thought Morty Pulled Draigo into the warp since no one ever mentions M'Kar.

**Coolyo294**

I thought M'kar only ever fought the Ultramarines.

**Void__Dragon**

The reason is that everyone beats up M'kar.

M'kar being beaten up isn't anything worthy of mention.

**Deadshot**

In the timeline of Ultramarine's battles, Calgar beats up M'kar 3 times.

Once in 878.M41
Once in 935.M41
Once again in 854999.M41

**Brother Coa**

That M'Kar is big fail among Daemons.

**Ashiraya**

He, and Failbaddon, is the two biggest sources of shame for chaos.

**BrainDeleted**

M'Kar is to daemons what the Avatar of Khaine is to the Eldar.

Whipping boy #1.

Literally everyone has

his

up.

Mostly because GW is too lazy to come up with other names for Lords of Change.......

**Greyish**

Yep. Matt Ward pulls him out each time he needs a daemonic whipping boy, as with his appearances in C:SM, C:BA and C:GK. But those good with details may have notices it's becoming more apparent that M'Kar has motives to sow seeds of disruption, even if it always ends in banishment to the warp. Mephiston is on the path of self-doubt and now one of the Dark Gods most powerful antagonists has been cunningly trapped inside the warp for at least 10k. Don't be fooled, M'Kar is in it for the long-game.

he was also in it for the long game when he was playing Chess with Creed but putting Creeds knight next to his king seemed a bad idea in hindsight. No i am not going to make the joke it makes itself.

You're thinking of M'kaechan.

M'kar is a Daemon Prince, of unspecified alignment as far as I know.

**SOFDC**

Another one chiming in for "Trying too hard." Frankly I found Thawn more interesting than Draigo. It's sad when coming back to life is less ridiculous and more badass than the alternative.

**BrainDeleted**

Ah yeah, you're right. M'Kar is an undivided Daemon Prince. Silly Word Bearers.

But Thawn can lead to all kinds of fun moments.

GK: Thawn! We all thought you were torn into pieces by daemonettes!

Thawn: I got Better.

"Bring out your dead! Bring out your dead!

I'm not dead yet!"

**Deadshot**

Thawn can be likened to as "Mini" Chuck Norris

" I thought you were dead!"

Thawn " Oh I was. but I didn't like it. So I stopped being dead."

**Ashiraya**

Deviance from thread?

**Brother Coa**

This thread is still alive?

**Ashiraya**

Hope so. The question might seem irrelevant, but a conclusive answer is not yet reached.

Because he is Matt Ward chosen one.
