That's not only thing you print this codex on, its all over your kit.

I can see through things, giant eye and all.

Oh, Brother-Sergeant, I should be flogged for forgetting our most glorious brands!

And yes, I do paint my favorite passages on my armor. It is not an uncommon practice for Astartes to put meaningful words on their equipment. Though, oddly, the Space Wolves only ever paint the word "WOLF" on their kit.

I wonder what their copy of the Codex Astartes looks like.

Russ gave me a copy of their Codex.
*tosses it to TCL*
Oddly enough it mostly talks about drinking ale and hitting things, with the word wolf mentioned repeatedly throughout.

*eye swivals round* There's one on table I think. Its covered in fur, runes and written on some form of velum....

Just next to book on how to build nuclear batteries, whatever sorcery they are.

"Ah, yes, the section on deception tactics! I wonder what is has to say...

'The Wolves of Fenris are a proud order who should rightly display their colors and wolves. However, it is the wolf who always uses the same wolves on their wolves. If the enemy should know your wolves he could use that wolf against you. It is advised that a wolf should change his wolves on a regular basis to confuse the wolf'.

What... what's this... I don't...".

I personally think it's some sort of code that only those blasted Wolves know. Our brightest Librarians have been trying to translate it for centuries to no avail.

Leave it to loyalists to fail at something so simple.

Ya need a translashun? 'Ere's a translashun!

*Takes codex and large, red stick of wax (so basically a crude crayon), and scrawls "WAAAAAGH!!!" across the pages*

Considering the language of the Space Wolves I would consider that an improvement in comprehensibility.

Now who the feth are you?

*looks bemused*
That was a language. I read copy on table, was just a mass of wolf, claw and fang with odd words between....

With 100 pages dedicated to correct brewing of ales.

[Strolls over and looks quizzically up at Kimmy] So I suppose we're sort of related? How about that... Though you don't seem to possess your father's predilection for napping in boxes of packaging supplies. [Smiles]

..! [Kimmy leans down and clamps both hands on Yarrick's temples] What are y-* [Eye rolls back in head briefly]

[Backs away rapidly] ... Sh-she just copied all of my working knowledge of tactical warfare... [Kimmy giggles and swings her feet]
And gave me a recipe for honey toast.

"Witch!".

*Points Boltgun at Kimmy*

*forces TCL's boltgun down*
Calm yourself Brother. She is no threat to us. She's actually really nice once you get to know her.
*Kimmy climbs up on top of my backpack and sits down*

Hmm. I don't think ya should try ta dakka her. Espeshully when she's sharin' a recipe fer honey toast. Uh... was anyone else wantin' ta try some o' dat? How 'bout you, Kommissar? Ya got da recipe in yer head now, roight?

[Steps in the way] Stand down, she's sanctioned. [Points to small serial tattoo on Kimmy's wrist]

"Ah, a sanctioned psyker! Forgive me small child". The Space Marine holsters his boltgun.

agh one of the powers, the powerful arts of the istari maybe.

Interesting, the arts are rather interesting indeed.

*floats to the kitchen and floats back with a beer*
Who is the one in black with a glowwing eye?

A witch is a witch either way. put her down. Or have you all forgotten about Nikea?

Times have changed Brother. Now I won't ask again. Who are you?
*raises boltgun and aims it at Brennon's head*

Yes, and the Edicts thereof have since been redacted. The Adeptus Astartes and Imperium as a whole now use psykers. In fact, a famous member of our glorious chapter is Chief Librarian Tigrius.

Has it been so long since you've gazed upon that Popsicle you call a "spiritual liege" that you can no longer recognize a primarch? Now lower your bolter, it's not like it would do you any good.

*twitches at the insult to his Primarch*
The Loyalist Primarchs have all disappeared and the traitors retreated to the maelstrom with their tails between their legs like beaten dogs. You must be Mortarion the Traitor.
*Boltgun does not waver*

"Traitor" is a harsh for coming from someone who breaks the Imperial truth on a daily basis. Besides, I had every intention of returning to the Emperor's side, if it wasn't for that PRICK Typhon killing off all of my navigators.

Mmmhmm. Sure. That's why your sons continue to plague the Imperium to this day. You REALLY did intend to come back to the fold. Sure. And I'm a High Lord of Terra.

Do you ever wonder why I've only come out of the warp once since Horus's temper-tantrum of a rebellion? Even then, that time was to earn a favor from Nurgle. Up next, you're gonna tell me Magnus is a traitor because Ahriman keeps killing imperials.

No. Magnus is a traitor because he keeps plotting against the Imperium. Ask the Space Wolves how many times the Thousand Sons have tried to bring him into the material world at his order. And speaking of that one time, how are you doing since receiving that open heart surgery from the Grey Knights?


OOC:
Before I forget again, welcome to the Avatar Room

[Picks up Kimmy during the bickering and carefully carries her to the butter tank] Let the marines settle this... We'll see what Bennett keeps in the freezer.

[Emerges backwards with greatcoat missing] ..!

Is the Imperium really that blind to Ahriman's actions? The only thing he has had in common with Magnus for the last 10,000 years is that they are both trying to fix Ahriman's mess. Magnus has left the warp ONCE, and that was to kick Russ back for what he did to Prospero. I was there in the aftermath, the wolves deserved what they got. Besides, it was Russ who Listened to Horus's command to kill Magnus rather then to capture him. In regards to that damnable grey knight, since when does saying a daemons true name make them explode!? Besides, the damage wasn't permanent, beyond my ego maybe.

What of the Ultramarine's transgressions? Or did Guilliman keep his own failings from the halls of history?
