Spoiler:
served Chaos by serving Kyras
I found his story compelling in that he was rather believable in his reactions.
Spoiler:
The second he knew for a fact about Kyras he wanted revenge. However he found it hard to accept before that because it was the word of the chaptermaster and his allies against the word of 2 captains.

To me, he's not a character to be admired, but one to pity. While the 4th Company heroes are shining examples of what a Space Marine SHOULD aspire to, Diomedes reflects all of their worst aspects. Uncaring, dogmatic, arrogant, above the humanity they are sworn to protect.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/517391/5449902.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/517391/5449902.page GMT Re:Am I the only fan of Diomedes http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/517391/5450718.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/517391/5450718.page GMT Re:Am I the only fan of Diomedes

He's from Dawn of War 2 - well, the later expansions, anyway.

Spoiler:
his Chapter Master has indeed turned to Chaos.


He's the equivalent of the goody-two-shoes snitch character from so many movies, always getting in the way. Like the teacher from Ferris Bueller, or the dean from Old School, or I don't know, a million other examples. I have no idea why these characters even still get included in plots, all they do is irritate.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/517391/5451880.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/517391/5451880.page GMT Am I the only fan of Diomedes http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/517391/5453219.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/517391/5453219.page GMT Am I the only fan of Diomedes http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/517391/5453330.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/517391/5453330.page GMT Am I the only fan of Diomedes
That right there is a big fricken problem. I don't want to play an unnamed force commander, I don't want to play Apollo Diomedes, I want Captain Gabriel Fething Angelos.

He has a big hammer.

He has a cape.

He has hair.

He has an awesome voice actor.

I mean really, can any marine compete? I liked Titus in "Space Marine," I also liked the veteran sergeant, Sidonus, and the crew from DoW II/Chaos Rising, but no one trumps Angelos.

That's why I converted one together for my own army, and he runs around smashing Trygons apart. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/517391/5453365.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/517391/5453365.page GMT Am I the only fan of Diomedes

This. 100 times this.

I was disappoint when I couldn't play as Angelos except for the tutorial... (haven't gotten too far into the campaign so if you get to play Angelos later on in the campaign, don't sue me)


But, taking Angelos out of the picture... Diomedes is an ok character... neither good or bad IMO. He has his high and low points (mainly lows... but his highs are high enough to even it out, to where I've gotten up to in the campaign) ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/517391/5453374.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/517391/5453374.page GMT Re:Am I the only fan of Diomedes TIIIING, I SHALL WUIN YOU!
