Talk:Raven Guard
From Lexicanum
Anyone know who this Aajz Solari - Captain of the 2nd Company is? I've never heard of him anywhere, and am beginning to think he is either home made or just made up. I think there might be a number of these types spread throughout Lexicanum's Space Marine articles.--Jonru 10:58, 17 June 2006 (CEST)
Aajz Solari is first published in White Dwarf. The Raven Guard Index Astartes article by Graham McNeill and Erick Kilmer has two paragraphs on Aaj. The Title lists him as the captain of the 5th company, but the text lists him as captain of the 2nd company.
I've heard of Aajz Solari, but I've never heard of Corvin Arkham. I've looked over the Index Astartes article on the Raven Guard too (which further confirms Aajz Solari) but still cannot find any reference to Corvin Arkham or any Captain of the 4th yet (not counting player made captains).
Error in the used image
The image you used his not exactly Raven Guard, the color sceme look good but the symbol his blood angel

In addition to the previous note about the image, the shoulder color shown is red. The raven guard use red for thier assault squads. Granted you can field an assault squad without jump packs, however the marine shown has the arrow emblem designating him as a member of a tactical squad which uses the green shoulderpad.
I don't know. Referring to Codex Space Marines 4td Ed. the right shoulder color IS red... Index Astartes shows a green shoulder. Maybe differs from company to company? As the Codex Astartes says? --Talhydras 03:22, 25 June 2007 (CEST)
Vandalism- some fuckwit has been making some alterations, as while it may be perfectly true, it's not great style to say the raven guard are "very much into ravens, or "sprout feathers"- someone should probably deal with it
It's funny what you find when you Google your own name. I intended Aajz to be the 5th company captain, important but not one of the top few captains due to his brash actions and reliance on luck. It's not like my comments are cannon years after the article was posted but it the 5th company was my intent for what its worth. And for the record Corax's last word of 'Nevermore' was entirely Grahm McNeill and always makes me cringe when I read it. I also thought Corax going the route of so many other Primarchs and heading into the Eye of Terror never to be seen again was more than a bit cliche. I wanted him to go to Terra for absolution from the Emperor himself and never be seen again, it's a palace the size of a planet it wouldn't be hard to stay lost if you wanted too. - Erick Kilmer
- Amen.
- Basically, Graham McNeill cannot write creatively, so he takes the cliche/ad nauseam raven reference route.
- I would much rather the Raven Guard be left undefined - they would have far more depth. --Acidface 07:12, 16 February 2008 (CET)

Has anyone noticed that clicking on any of the links to the space marine glands takes you to the space marine page instead of the "creating a space marine" page? Darkened wings 09:21, 8 October 2008 (CEST)
