From Lexicanum

Hi, I just noticed I've been pottering around on here for over a year now, so I think I'll update my 'hay guyz' paragraphs.

The (perhaps) relevant personal info: Played 40K from RT until a few years into 3rd edition. Had a few games here and there since. Played a bit of Battlefleet Gothic, Space Hulk and stuff. Normally Imperial armies, I collected Imperial Guard, Space Marines (Blood Angels and then a DIY Chapter) but had a smattering of most races. But I don't really game anymore. Addicted to the fluff, of course.

Did an old and fairly large (not to mention incomplete) site on Gaunt's Ghosts some years back that got a few hits and survived for a while before I had to take it down. I've since seen that material crop up in various places...shame it was a bit of a mess, really. It was being curious about that which led me to the Lex in the first place. I'm currently obsessed with the HH novels.

I like adding new content and fiddling with formats and cats. I taught English for a bit, so I hope I know how to string some sentences together in a readable manner, my apologies if you find my style not to your taste. I don't really have a methodology to how I pick my edits other than what I'm feeling interested in at the time, although I tend to do a bit of editing of recent changes to warm up before getting into things. Right now, I'm looking through the cat trees a lot, and wondering if I'm going to have to go through all the image files and ask if the sources have a line of text written next to the images clarifying what they are.

I'm always happy to help or be helped.

Thanks!

Some Lovely Pictures

10th Company

Captain Loken's company was a powerful military force. Consisting of approximately 600 Marines, it was split into squads made up of ten individual Astartes. Each squad was commanded by a Sergeant, and there were 13 such Sergeants considered to be senior (or perhaps 'veteran') Sergeants by Captain Loken. These Sergeants attended his company briefings. 10th Company possessed a Terminator Squad, led by Sergeant Rassek, and several other notable squads.

• Hellebore Tactical Squad - commanded by Sergeant Xayver Jubal, the 1st Squad of the company and afforded some prestige as a result, enough that Jubal was offended when he was not named proxy Company Commander upon Loken's elevation to the Mournival. One member of the squad carried a Plasma Cannon. The entirety of Hellebore Squad went missing when Jubal became possessed by the daemon Samus in the Whisperheard Mountains.
• Locasta Tactical Squad - commanded by Sergeant Nero Vipus, the 3rd Squad. Captain Loken favoured this squad to act as his command squad and made Sergeant Vipus his second-in-command and proxy Company Commander. Locasta Squad was assigned to the betrayed first wave assault on Istvaan III.
• Walkure Tactical Squad - commanded by Sergeant Kairus, the 6th Squad. Protected the Warmaster during the opening combat of the war with the Interex.
• Brakespur Tactical Squad - commanded by Sergeant Udon, the 7th Squad. Udon and five of his men were killed by the daemon-possessed Xayver Jubal in the Whisperhead Mountains.
