Gallus barely knew him and didn't come across in the final battle.

Yes, but having members of the Chapter (and the company) that your Scions were executing be nearby would be interesting

Five years is a long time for humans, plenty of battles and drama to go through in the meanwhile.

I hardly think Gallus would forget having his men execute Space Marines. And even if they did forget, my Marines certainly would not have.

The executions, yes, the specifics of who and who, not so much.

Especially since he was fighting guardsmen at the time.

Now ask the Scions I am writting about, that might be a bit different, although its not guaranteed they'll have access to Chapter names and such.

The Ultramarines are one of the most well known Chapters in the Imperium. The Scions would know who they are, because I'm fairly sure your Scions aren't stupid.

Not so much a matter of intelligence rather than access to information.

And again, the Ultramarines are one of the most well known chapters in the entirety of the Imperium, your Scions would most likely know perfectly well who they are.

Believe he means that his scions will remember killing ultramarines but dont know any marines by name ie Julius

If my marines found out in crusade 2.... A chomabdor who executed space marines of a first founding. Might get cold reception

Exacuting a space marine might be a rather big taboo. Traitor fine, but a loyalist.

Also, I may or may not have incriminating evidence against Gallus and the Scions (or at least, evidence that something shady was going on anyway)...

He was kind of the Captain of my company, if anything he would at least know HIS name. I can perfectly understand not knowing any other Marine in my company, but you'd think he'd at least know who the Captain is.

Gallus and Julius met eachother, what, twice in two different briefings, barely interacted with eachother. Never deployed on the same planet. And then you add the 5 years and the assumption that Julius is dead, it gets pretty hard to remember the precise name.

I understand that, and what I'm going to leave it as is that if I do bring my Marines into this (somehow) then don't be surprised if my Marines don't like you in the slightest.

Works for me, wouldn't have it any other way.

I apologize Bob, if I came off as rude or condescending. I misunderstood what you were saying. For all I know I won't even bring in my Marines, so it'll matter very little.

Would any of your Scions have known Falkon? In my Intro that included your Scions I had him kind of recognize your Scions, and I don't remember how much contact your Scions had with 2BJ1's guys

I came in late to the Crusade and had almost no interactions with other parties, except the New Order for a very short time and Tainted Tallarns from time to time. And you know, the kill a bunch of our own dudes part.

I'll be honest, I kinda forgot about Falkon in COF 1, just refresh my memory about him

So Falkon was a Guardsman in 2BJ1's Histans, and he eventually rose to the rank of Sergeant (if my memory is correct). Me and him talked and Falkon is now the leader of my Knight's armsmen.

Outro up, a day later than promised, but life gets the way sometimes. Anyway I'm just realising what amazing luck I had, getting within 7 of the first roll and then within 1 of the final reroll. Where was that luck when I was charging head first into a tau gunline?

Great, bomb his friends and forget who he is.

Sergeant Falkon is a Histan discovered by House Fairfax from the wreckage of the Knife of Hista, a ship that was destroyed by the hybrids. I gave him a powerfist so he could Falkon Punch people, and because it's very useful to have a powerfist close by.

You know, I didn't want to like Nasira, but that outro makes me like her somewhat, despite her backstabbing of half of the Crusade

I see, it'll be up you to determine wether you think Falkon interacted with the Scions enough for him to remember them or not. I don't think so, but its already written so I'd understand if you wanted to keep things consistent.

What I wrote wasn't an outro, just a reaction to the pairs of Scions acting like idiots

I'll write my outro->intro proper in the upcoming days.

Now I'm tempted to bring my own Scions in, if I was even allowed to do anything beyond Eldar, I'm not sure how much of a force my Knights will count as, considering they'll probably be spread out amongst the various Imperial forces.

I don't know if Falkon would remember many scions by name, but it's hard to forget the look of the people who killed your men. He won't have the power to act on it, but he'll play with the idea of shooting a few of them.

I think we need a DoW III

There was another side to her that I would have liked to show, but I came in quite late so I didn't really get around to it. I even had a pointlessly elaborate backstory for her in my head to explain why she was so obsessed with power.

In fact, I might bring her back in CoF2 if there's room for another Imperial faction and nobody objects to it.

Yeah, I can't really write much more on my end. The Cadians are pretty much gone, reforming on Cadia, but that would take ages, and I'm not sure that there's an actual need for an outro for them.

As for Praetoria, they were one of the few factions (if not the ONLY faction) to be wiped out completely. RIP in pieces, I guess. Wiping out a demi-company plus auxiliary of Ultramarines would be a pretty big issue for Calgar, or any Ultramarine to swallow.
And of course, I can't write for Aurelius. I don't intend for his death, but he's completely in Ezra's hands. You're free to write anything for him, or absolutely nothing. I don't really mind at this point.

Buttery, as for your request for Marcus, I think he's got a nice ending as is - you did a good job of summing him up. I'd spoil it by adding to him.

In the mean time, I'll read what people get up and prepare for CoF 2, whenever that happens. No rush.

I think we're all waiting to see what we get for factions. I'm not sure I'd consider mine and TS's Knights to be actual "factions", mostly because I know that my Knights will be spread out amongst all the other forces, so I was thinking of bringing in another actual army just so I have something else to write for besides my Elfdar

I am contemplating if I should add some outro for the Renegade New Order/Fallen Order... Lots of plot shenanigans I can pull...
