Just because Corax, Vulcan, Khan, and Russ aren't confirmed dead doesn't mean they aren't.

khan has to be dead or at least beyond the ability to fight, near 10k years in the webway without supplies or reinforcements mead either KIA or POW, i hope its KIA, 10k years at the hands of the Dark Eldar would break even a primarch

Who says he has no supplies? If the DE can figure out how to leave the Webway to get them so can he.

thats a big jump in logic, but i concede its possible, however if he had we would know, a primarch wouldn't go unnoticed for long.

a more interesting question is what happened to vulkan?
Ravens flight mildly suggests he is dead, but Corax had quit the field so it was conjecture.

this is what kept me in the hobby for 21 years, i bloody love it lol

they sure know how to spin a good story.
Ignoring the mile high pile of waste some people call 'books'.

Ribbit "Kermie" Gilligan

ws bs s t w i a ld sv
5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 3+/5++

Wargear:

Blunderbusses of Ultramar:

Upgraded (considerably) tens of thousands of years after the Horus Heresy, Ribbit's Blunderbusses of Ultramar found their way to the tech-priests of Mars in almost pristine condition, since Ribbit never actually fired them.
They count as twin-linked shotguns.

Shiny-Box

Gilligan's ordinary, everyday, regular power armor is so pretty-shiny from its storage that there is a chance it will glint in the eyes of enemy shooters and cause their aim to falter. Gilligan receives a 5+ invulnerable save in addition to his normal power armor save.

Special Rules

"I'll call my dad!"

Gilligan has considerable abilities due to his being a primarch, however, compared to other primarchs, he kind of sucks. His mediocrity is reflected in his statline.

"...Well maybe I *WON'T*"

At the start of the game, before deployment, but after the mission is chosen, roll 2d6. On a roll of 2, Ribbit sulks back on Terra. He does not appear for the whole game, and does not count towards the Victory Points total. On a roll of 12, he shows up slobbering drunk, with an Initiative value of 1, increased toughness value (to 6) and the "Fearless" special rule. All wounds dealt in close combat by drunken Ribbit ignore armor saves on a d6 roll of 6. If drunken Ribbit assaults a tank, he takes a wound for every attack he makes ("Ribbit. RIBBIT. You're PUNCHING. A TANK"). Normal armor saves are allowed. If any infantry unit (friend or foe) is within 6" of Ribbit at the start of your turn, roll a d6. If a 6 is rolled, Ribbit has to assault them.

"So, quote master strategist, unquote"

Ribbit's ability to manipulate the enemy is well known. At the start of your shooting phase, Ribbit may roll 2d6. If he rolls under his own unmodified leadership, he is able to taunt any unit in the game within 18", regardless of whether they are in combat or not(friend or foe) by calling their mother a bulldyke and the single worst lay in the forty-first millenium. Both Ribbit and the enemy unit are removed from play as Ribbit flees the battlefield and the unit follows him. Neither count towards victory points. This ability may only be used once per game, and if failed, may not be used again. Your opponent has the opportunity to negate this ability by singing, in full, the theme to gilligan's island, while you film, and later put on youtube. He has to really, really try hard. If he doesn't put in maximum effort (you should bring him a tilly hat), the unit is removed and you delete the video from your camera.

How does time pass in the webway though? For all we know the Khan and Russ may have only experienced as little as a few years because of the way time flows in the warp (assuming the webway is similar to the warp of course)

I thought the same, but cannot remember anything that sugests such a thing (doesn't mean the fluff dont exist, i just cant remember it)

But anyway, were getting OT, post a new thread methink.
