Weirdly enough, the Grey Knight books cover WHY secrecy is important with Daemon stuff. Basically, Chaos is a memetic virus.

Generally, if you know about Daemons first hand, you are going to get corrupted and go crazy eventually. Most people do not have the consistent willpower to fight it off

It's still grimderp. The Grey Knights can be told to the populace as just another chapter , a highly venerated one , expert at dealing with foul xenos and the wicked heretic.

[@Nempo13]

He has special rules for his terminator armor when on foot (you can also field him in his war sleigh). In the charge phase he can move much farther in a straight line. Or he used to be able to, he also ignored partial cover during that charge. Basically, if he could see you, he could be in your face any time he wants. Most game shops I know of still make use of his old rules because ignoring that weakens him and removes his uniqueness.

[@Arlehs]

That is a think I've never been able to understand...that thing with the Caos, as Majorkill mentioned, most of the people falling into Caos have no fcking idea what they are dealing with. If only the Dickehads of the Imperium educate people on that matters, I'm sure Caos Gods will be in big trouble. Also, kudos for my Wolf bois.

[@Yawnz2]

I think it's similar to hard drugs. Most people are aware they'll mess you up but if your down in life or you think "it'll never happen to me" you'll be tempted to try it out to feel some relief or thrill. Problem is...the side effects of Chaos can be worse than drug addiction. In this case, idk why the Inquisition doesn't collect all chaos exposed soldiers and make a chaos fighting Imperial Guard regiment under their control. Spread a couple agents/special Inquisition commissars with the troops and there u go. No wasting human resources and you get an experienced fighting force that knows how to go to war against chaos.

[@James-ep2bx]

From what I've gathered part of it is that educating people about chaos is a double edged sword, as while yes it does better equip someone to deal with it, the knowledge itself increases the ability for it to influence them, think Lovecraftian great old ones, and things like the yellow sign. So it's kinda like toughness(knowledge) vs hardness(ignoranc), and since the imperium already had a lattice of people knowledgeable(though) and proven, they figured a fill if ignorant(hard) populace would make the better block

[@FullMetalElric]

[@uriel005]

GW can't decide with the wolves and their attitudes and natures flip flop depending on the writers. Sometimes they are playing 4d chess letting everyone think they are savage barbarians while really being quite level headed and possibly the most advanced of the chapters. i.e. almost cured their chapter flaw and it took a direct invasion of Magnus the Red to stop them from solving their wulfen issues followed by a badass 1v1 duel between Magnus and Bjorn. They also kinda just laugh at the codex astartes for their regular company organizations and tend to super pillage everything. Blood angels are noted for having a ton of dreadnoughts with like 34. Wolves have a vault containing a ton of them. They also have a bunch of wulfen outside of regular chapter organizations roaming the frozen wilds of Asaheim (failed recruits who went nuts and just roam the landscape) that they can and have called upon (Battle of the Fang). They are also notorious for capturing chaos crap and repurposing it Logan's axe IS a demonic weapon, they have a massive fleet to go with their viking asthetic because they keep stealing all their enemies crap. They also have like 8 ramilles star forts and one of them is usually considered enough to hold down a sector. Most other first founding chapters in combination with their successors might have 1 or 2. So yeah they are like super hoarders to go with that viking pillaging crap. Also developed a beer that just overcomes marine poison immunity.... thats something the inquisition has been trying to do for 10000 years with consistency or you find in a Dark Eldar specialist poison lab in either case a ton of resources got poured into such projects. The space vikings did it because they wanted to be able to get drunk.... Other times they really are just a bunch of furry drunken space vikings and there is nothing deeper going on there. Coin flip per story to find out what they are actually doing.

I need an animation of Grimnar teleporting about the Inquisition flagship and sprinting in terminator armour down the corridors taking the heads off grey knights and inquisitors thn getting to the lord inquisitor and taking his head clean off with a battle axe . It would be amazing but pitty GW will never let that happen . Talking about a fan made animations

What are you talking about? The grey knights were forced to do that. You think they wanted to kill other chapter and genocide a planet? What a stupid comment. The villain is the inquisition, as always

[@Nempo13]

@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess The Grey Knights routinely kill all guardsmen that fight beside them. It is literally in their operating procedure when they are called in to deal with something during an active war. The ONLY time they didn't follow this is when Cadia fell. Every other time someone has had to step in to stop them, most times no one does however. The Grey Knights are NOT a 'good' group. The don't save anyone, they kill the daemons then kill anyone that saw them and isn't allowed to, then they leave.

The emperor's gift was always one of my favourite novels. Aaron demski bowden is the best gw writer. The main character Hyperion was op.

[@abreecs3511]

Maybe the Inquisition is less concerned with people learning about the Warp, and more concerned with people learning the Emperor's "secrets", also known as the Warp.

[@mapleflag6518]

“Learning about the warp” The warp is the only means of FTL travel for humanity.

[@TheRaidenLP]

„Does your hubris know no bounds?“ Seriously. The Inquisition, founded way after the Space Wolves, dared to know better than one of the most loyal first founding chapters. The sons of the man that, quite literally, was the emperor’s executioner. Just imagine if the Space Wolves fired back from the moment the Inquisition got too far up their own ass.

[@guyver441]

The Wolves took the moral high ground, showing an amazing level of restraint and wisdom. I would expect that from Ultramarines, I admit I was surprised they kept their rage in check so long.

[@TheRaidenLP]

@@guyver441 The Ultramarines probably wouldn’t have talked back to the Inquisition, at least not to this extend. Kinda curious how this would have gone down if it was the Salamanders or Lamenters that resisted the Inquisition.

Not gonna lie, I love this type of lore when it's around one inciting incident and feels accurate to the capabilites of the participants. Hope to see more of it even though it would be Primaris who I don't think would do anything to make people mad.

[@gideonhorwitz9434]

The more I read up on their doctrines and lore the more I believe The lion and Leman Russ were in fact twins with a similar roles independent of the imperium. Other than being both long blonde boys into sword play and a deep loyalty to daddy E were specialized to carry out specific tasks on this case to kill the enemies of the emperor that were too deadly to be done normally be it warp daemons op zenos or traitor astartes. Despite being visually distinct the Dark angels and the space wolves have way more commonalities Leman was savagely calm while Lion el Johnson was Calmly savage.

[@marka4891]

IIRC, isn't the Inquisition cagey about people knowing about daemons and so forth because they don't want people realizing that, for most of them, the afterlife will consist of waking up in the warp with daemons rending their soul to pieces followed by oblivion?

[@tornielsen2888]

No, because human souls are not strong enough to remain aware after death. So it wont.

[@marka4891]

@@tornielsen2888 Then why do they tend to kill "normal" people if they learn about the existence of daemons like in the above example? They seemingly don't want anyone knowing about it unless they have a need to know. Or do they think people in general are just that prone to corruption?

The Inquisition did get a little bit of Revenge the next time Magnus showed up on Fenris. They showed up with a massive Fleet with a dozen chapters including Dark Angels. They almost completely destroyed the Fang and purged the vast majority of the native population.

When Leman Russ returns he will make them regret that by giving them them one hell of a spanking.
