Talk:M42

Should any reference be made to the apparent healing of roberte guilleman, Or of the faults in the golden throne repairing themselves here?

If there is a source yes. And if not you can guess what. --Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Lexicanum 08:37, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Is there anything in WH40K lore that talks about M42 other than the Ciaphas Cain books and the fall of Medusa V? I'd think that after roughly 40 years of WH40K, there'd be something...... Commisar Gegnillum 23:08, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Don't think so. At least these are the only ones that spring to mind. --Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Lexicanum 11:49, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

EDIT: German GW set a campaign in M42, and apparently M42 is also mentioned in the Blood Angels novels. --Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Lexicanum 11:50, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Really? A campaign other than Medusa V? Also, how is M42 mentioned in the other novels(I heard that Dante will supposedly be called on soon to defend the Emperor's remains, but I don't know if that is tied into M42) Commisar Gegnillum 20:06, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Concerning the Blood Angels thingy, I retract that, it turned out to be speculation, the only thing that seems to be clear is that the story is set after the death of Tycho, no precise date. Concerning the campaign, yes that seems to be correct. As how official that is to be regarded is another question, but it was published on the GW Page Germany. --Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Lexicanum 10:42, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

There are also the odd things that logically have to be set in M42, but the date is never mentioned; Uriel Ventris is promoted to Captain in 999.M41 and then the entire Ultramarines novel series proceeds chronologically forwards. However, no dates beyond 999 are ever given despite large amounts of time passing.--Mob 14:01, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

I agree that both UM and BA novels should be set somewhere after the turn of the millennium, but without any hard numbers we can only say they take part after certain dated events. --Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Lexicanum 14:09, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

The only hard date given in the UM novels(that I know of, I only have the Omnibus edition) is in Dead Sky, Black Sun, where it is mentioned that Ventris and Pasanius are on a troopship heading to Segmentum Obscurus due to the 13th Black Crusade(999.M41). After that, it seems that Pavonis 2.0, the return from the Eye of Terror, and the invasion of Ultramar all take place sometime right after the start of M42. Can we say that those events took place in M42 without specifiying a date for them on this page? Commisar Gegnillum 16:48, 28 March 2011 (CEST)
