Really? The picture of "Cypher" from the HH novels would paint him as a chaos follower....]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434124/3989689.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434124/3989689.page GMT Why is Cypher put in the category of chaos? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434124/3989735.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434124/3989735.page GMT Why is Cypher put in the category of chaos?

"What he is" is in the previous edition of Codex: Chaos Space Marines.

No, really. That's why he is in the Collector's section of Chaos Marines. When that book was out, Cypher had a very "mysterious" background but he also wasn't appropriate to put into the Dark Angels pamphlet/army book. He just fit better into that book. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434124/3989747.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434124/3989747.page GMT Why is Cypher put in the category of chaos? CSM section because he appeared as a choosable character in their army book once.
Although I think that same army book stated that another army could take him as a choice, but I don't remember who now.

CSM books because he is a "fallen angel" - one of the dark angels who sided with Luthor during the Horus Heresy. IIRC there was some speculation in that book that he was leading a warband of other fallen angels who were travelling towards Terra in order to seek redemption at the hands of the Emperor, who would reforge a broken blade that Cypher carried with him (but never drew.) Then the GW fluff team decided that was dumb and got rid of him. That's my best information. Hope it helps.

The imperium (and perhaps GW) like to put everyone in one of two categories: either "loyalist" or "renegade" - but the distinction should be observed that not all renegades are chaos worshippers.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434124/4012254.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434124/4012254.page GMT Why is Cypher put in the category of chaos? 40k any more lol]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434124/4013046.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434124/4013046.page GMT Why is Cypher put in the category of chaos?

I believe that's the Dark Angels' holiest blade, the one that Lion El'Jonson used to fight Luther. I don't remember what its called exactly.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434124/4015285.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434124/4015285.page GMT Why is Cypher put in the category of chaos?

Rather predictably, it's called the Lion Blade I think ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434124/4016316.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434124/4016316.page GMT Why is Cypher put in the category of chaos? Lion's Blade" for a reason.

Not because it was shaped like a lion or anything, but because The Lion wielded it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434124/4016481.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434124/4016481.page GMT Why is Cypher put in the category of chaos?

Well not everyone stores specific pieces of fluff in their memory, or has the time to look stuff up. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434124/4017695.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434124/4017695.page GMT Re:Why is Cypher put in the category of chaos? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434124/4019843.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434124/4019843.page GMT Why is Cypher put in the category of chaos?

That was ten thousand years ago.

WH 30k they're secret infiltrators trying to save humanity from chaos; in WH 40k they're as deluded as everyone else. The lower ranking commanders weren't told the real nature of the mission, because the legion was so secretive. When the few commanders who knew the real mission got killed off, their secret died with them. Now the Alpha Legion is as committed to chaos as anyone. That's always how it goes with chaos worship.... at first you use chaos like a tool, but it ends up using you like a tool.

In that whole scene with Alpharius and the Cabal I kept wanting to tell Alpharius, "They're aliens don't listen to them!" He forgot the number one rule of the warhammer universe: Fear the Alien. Kill the Alien. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434124/4024584.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434124/4024584.page GMT
