By your own Logic, Helbrecht and the Black Templars are cowards, as well as The Silver Skulls and the numerous other Space Marine chapters that have run away.

Less bitching, more quoting!


From DoW DC:

Captain Thule: It is better to die than to live in bondage.
Shas'o Kais: So says the slave to the free man.

From Deff Skwadron:

“Good shootin’, Boss! Now what we gonna do?”

“A Favourite Ole Deff Skwadron Taktik, Gimzod, ’oned to perfektion by years of ’ard–won experience…

…We legs it good an’ proper!”

Calgar is immune to fear and is resolutely courageous under fire; where lesser men would dive for cover when being fired upon, Marneus Calgar takes quick stock of the situation, decides the best course of action, and only if he so decides to leap into cover, then he will do so.

In other words, where lesser Space Marines have enough instinct and training to leap for cover the instant they come under fire and take stock from relative safety, Calgar will stand around for a few seconds getting shot up before considering whether or not he should get out of the way of all that dakka.

Graham McNeill, yeah? Fulgrim? Or The Outcast Dead? The bit I’ve highlighted is almost word for word from William Blake’s The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, but McNeill referenced him a lot in Fulgrim .

I believe he's saying he won't stop making those kind of statements on this thread.

I have no idea where you are getting these claims, but I think you just can't stand the fact that the Templars got their asses handed to them, and Helbrecht got his hand sliced off and kicked off a cliff.

Because they are in the core of the story?
Necrons won the first battle, Templars won the second ( destroying much of Imogirs's space fleet in process ). Why should I be angry?

Now, finally back to the OP:

"No... Captain Angelos...

Seriously, quit making stuff up. It doesn't say that ANYWHERE. So, once again, point me to where it says Helbrecht Boarded the Conqueror.

I have to apologize for my earlier mistake, you're right, it doesn't say. Furthermore, we see in the Necron Codex that it's the Sigismund, not the Eternal Crusader, that launches boarding parties. Helbrecht would be leading the Crusade Fleet from the Eternal Crusader, and thus can't have been in the boarding party.

This looks like an excellent place for an ambush.....last words of a guard Lieutenant.

I've come across a number of planetary governors in the course of my erratic progress around the galaxy and, on the whole, the ones who weren't incompetent were either corrupt, insane, or both; on at least one occasion sufficiently so to have mortgaged their soul and the world they administered to the forces of the Ruinous Powers. - Ciaphas Cain

However, it also says that he personally set the collision course of the Inevitable Conqueror, implying that he was on board. Unless the templars managed to hack the necon's systems somehow, he couldn't have done so while sitting on his own ship.

It also says that Imotekh withdrew against his personal feelings, because it was the logical thing to do.

Necron codex page 27, for those who haven't read it.

Another great bit from the new codex:

"I realize that you briefly trod my galleries, but the fact that you spotted in so short a time that my Acabrius War collection was lacking three regiments of Catachan warriors reveals that you truly have a collector's eye for detail. And to send five regiments! Such generosity will allow me to weed out and replace a few of the more substandard pieces in my collection." - Trazyn the Infinite, to Inquisitor Valeria

Fixed that for you

Coa really you sould actually start reading other peoples post or at least the whole story, oh you know the part where helbrecht himself made a tactical retreat or as you like to call it running like a coward. Plus trying to end the arguament after making a BS statement is stupid.

"The open mind is like a pot for Chaos to piss in"

From one of the Sabat world novels (I believe its the one where one they are protecting the shrine) I forget the characters name but this quote has always stuck with me!

"And what are the achievements of your fragile Imperium? It is a corpse rotting slowly from within while maggots writhe in its belly. It was built with the toil of heroes and giants, and now it is inhabited by frightened weaklings to whom the glories of those times are half-forgotten legends. I have forgotten nothing and my wisdom has expanded far beyond mere mortal frailties"

I don’t care if there are fifty thousand L’Huraxi up there! Our orders are to take that hill and I’m going to damn well take that hill even if it means I have to kill every last one of the purple-skinned giants myself. Damn it, follow me, I’ll show you how it’s done. That’s it, get stuck in there. Medic! Stop whining, Brook, you’ve got another damned leg. D’ya think I cried like a damned new-born when I lost my arm? Course I damn well didn’t. I upped and ripped that damned land shark’s damned throat out with my damned teeth!

There is a difference between tactical retreat and running away from combat that Imogirl do. Helbrecht made tactical retreat to strike his enemies later with grater force, Imogirl didn't return and leave his capital ship and his fleet at the mercy of the BT, LOL.
And just because it is not mentioned that Helbrecht was not on Imogirl's ship doesn't mean he was not there, you seriously expect that Chapter Master would lead his brothers in battle from a distance like IG general? Doesn't sound like Space Marine to me, especially Black Tempalr...

And to all of you who are comparing Imogirls running away with Space Marines - tell that to the Ultramrines first company who run away from Tyranids, or Scythes of the Emperor who also run away from Tyranids, or the Emperor's Swords who run away from Necrons. Wait...

Do you even bother reading what people post? At this stage, due to your repeated repetition of debunked arguments, using assinine, immature and frankly stupid nicknames like "Imogirl", and the fact that you started this entire argument by making up a quote when nobody had even mentioned anything on the topic up until then has me convinced you don't even care and are just trolling. Or that you care so much about your little plastic men you actually are frightened to admit they might have flaws, in which case you need psychiatric help.

Either way, welcome to my ignore list. I do not take to trolls lightly.
