But I'm not making a coherent and well-designed argument. I'm not even trying to.

I'm just sitting back and watching a bunch of people fall over one another as they try to 'prove' that it's not Draigo, even though it can't really be proven either way because it implies it but gives no specifics.

More like "he meets Slaanesh face to face, can't bring himself to stab the pretty thing, kneels instead and lets Slaanesh knight him"

I don't think I want to get on my knees in front of Slaanesh......

Pretty sure Slaanesh can violate you in an infinite number of ways from an infinite distance. Kneeling down just means you accept it.

you never know, Draigo could have kneeled only to get Slaanesh close...
I have faith in Draigo, damn...

I dunno those gods are pretty cocky pricks,
He prob walked up to him all like, "yeah thats right, bow to me!"

and draigo is all like, "just a little closer...."

I would say the comment about "the cell he once called home" is actually another compelling piece of evidence in favor of it being at least a Grey Knight. As a lengthy portion of their indoctrination takes place in a darkened cell.

I was going to stay out of this thread, but this statement had to be replied to.

The majority of the Codex Astartes adherent Chapters utilize "cells" for their members. It is supposed to be reflective of the monastic lifestyle that they are expected to live as "warrior-monks". The Grey Knights are not the only ones who do this. The Space Wolves, Dark Angels, Black Templars, Blood Angels, Imperial Fists, et al have "cells" for their members at their various fortress monasteries/keeps.

IMO, its either Draigo or Fulgrim...

Paraphrasing the 4th edition Chaos Daemons Codex
It is impossible for mortals to look upon the god without instantly losing their soul, for all who see it become willing slaves to every whim of the Dark Prince

If it was draigo it's an argument between Uncorruptable Vs. Auto-Corrupt

Specific vs general....RAW RAW RAW, hahaha joking

I find this so crazy, so odd, that I love it.

In my canon (even as a loyal Imperial) Im going to say this is canon. Draigo is indeed turned by Slaanesh. (probably with the aid of Tzeentch and his 'just as planned')

It would be a fitting irony for Draigo to be the first-ever Grey Knight to willingly fall to Chaos.

For a moment I was all happy thinking "maybe, just maybe, it's Draigo?"

Now I realize it is Draigo.

His helmet was stifling - it narrowed his vision and he must see far. His shield was heavy - it threw him off balance and his target is far away.
The Old Ones say we Grey Knights are descended from the Emperor himself. Bold Draigo gives testament to our bloodline. His roar is long and loud.

Crap. I guess even a Chaos god can bleed.

Well, if its Draigo,.. the emperors trumph card has failed,... no incorruptable marines for you 'umies! You just got Stomped!

Because there were too many for 6 pages, and too few for 8 pages

Because this is 40K, let's see if we cannot crank it up to 11.

Personally, I kinda would prefer this to be Draigo, for a number of reasons.

One, up until recently, GK did not enjoy an auto-pass against the corruption of Chaos. They were resistant, yes, because of their special gifts, but it was their dedication and prayers and such, including dark rites and rituals, that kept them free from corruption. They weren't immune to it, they just knew the best ways to avoid it, and took the appropriate steps to ensure that they were as defended as possible from it... a virtual immunity, if you will, based on the lengths they were willing to go to ensure it. If this is Draigo, this brings the GK back down to a less-OTT level, and back into the grimdark.

Two, Slaanesh is the Chaos God of Perfection. As they say, pride goeth before the fall, and you can bet that Draigo's own human frailties, in this case, probably his ego, gave Slaanesh the "in" S/he needed to tempt him. One cannot strive for perfection without attracting Hir attention.

Three, it was hoped that Draigo would be the one to put paid to the Ruinous Powers themselves. As the saying goes, hope is the first step on the road to disappointment. Nietzsche warned about gazing into the abyss... I don't suppose he ever considered having to warn people not to leap willingly into it! He also warned that he who fights monsters must take care that he does not become a monster himself.

Poor Draigo never understood that Nietzsche meant 'don't look at Slaanesh boobs'...

Well...I just wrote a long responce full of humour and interesting points.... then accidently hit refresh.

So to sum up...



Oh wonderful... pic ain't workin' either.

It was my Khorne Knight drawing.

AHAHAHAHA!!! Just read the fluff for Slaanesh's gardens
I love Phill's fluff, it sounds like he's got Draigo corrupted

Hopefully! I don't much care for Chaos. But Draigo is stupid spank. Plain and simple.

I love the idea of Draigo falling to Chaos then attempting to usurp Abaddon's position as Warmaster

And now I'm off to buy a Draigo model to convert to a Slaaneshi Sorceror, for the hereticals!

Don't forget - he needs to display at least 1 exposed female breast now that he worships Slaanesh. Bonus points for 6 exposed breasts and an adamantium plated thong.

And thanks to FineCast that's now even easier to do

This is doing exactly what the writer wants,
everyone is getting hyped, and the next thing thats going to be written is the grey knights side of things, and draigo is going to start a fight or something, and its just going to go back and forth and he will never be corrupted..

Or is corrupted and never knows/admits it . . .

which is another wonderful thing about 40k fluff - you CAN have it both ways!

Yes
And the next time I see Draigo on the battlefield, I can enjoy myself regardless of the outcome of the battle
