[@Historyfrek4ever]

Thiel also made his own codex, by scratching his own tactics on his armour as he develop them during the years of guerrilla wars on Calth. Man was straight up a mini-Guilliman.

He also helped Guilliman in organizing the Codex Astartes.

He's one of his father's favourite sons. Damned Alpha Legion used it against him, but still. Guilliman even let Thiel keep one of his cool toys for personal use.

"There was no chain of command. I decided I needed to build one." - Aeonid Thiel

[@musicalDrebin]

Theil was probably one of the best parts of Know No Fear. if only because of his attitude. I still laugh when he saved Gage and Gage thought. 'those weapons he's using look good enough to be part of Guiliman's private collection... Those ARE part of Guiliman's private collection!' meanwhile he's just like. 'meh i'm already in trouble, what does it matter at this point?"

[@pariah6646]

Love that Thiel was waiting a super long time to get censured by his primarch and just starts playing with all of his sacred weapons and he's literally like "oh well I'm in trouble anyways" 🤣

[@codylockhart5810]

Indeed

[@jamespeck30]

Getting personally reprimanded by the Primarch? Can't be more in trouble can I?

[@Aurora-313]

Best part is, when Guilliman finally meets him Thiel ends up in the Primarch's private confidence (as he vents about Lorgar) and make a joke that makes Guilliman crack a smile. Later, Guilliman saves him on the hull of Macragge's Honour and ends up thinking 'yeah, this guy's pretty effing good. I'mma take him with me to storm the orbitals.'.

[@BarelyDecentProduction]

The man couldn't control his intrusive thoughts lol, and the part where he played with his dad's cool toys is just adorable to imagine

[@drakematsy7412]

To be fair, his lack of intrusive thoughts was the reason he got reprimanded in the first place

[@Aurora-313]

​@drakematsy7412 it's the same reason why he almost single-handedly (sorry Gaige) saved the Macragge's honour too. Lol

[@ceegronlee]

I love how the Ultramarine Sergeants wear red helmets in his honour.

[@johanfernando6459]

The stereotype of Ultramarines being inflexible rule followers is dumb. Yes they tend to follow a more structured approach to war like most modern militaries do, but they have had no trouble adapting when they’ve had to (as shown in nearly all their books).

[@656delta]

While I was in the army a lot of the older guys said "You're not a good NCO unless you've had an Article 15 (or two)." Reinforced by USMC COL Chesty Puller's famous words: "If the Marine Corp expected you to behave they wouldn't dangle a good conduct medal in front of your face. Now take me to the brig so I can see the real Marines." Aeonid Thiel exemplifies these comments.

[@Chris-hb2ib]

Chesty Puller never said that.

[@williammiller4768]

Aeonid Thiel. A guy so cool he made a a bad thing a good thing because he said so.

[@JamesLaserpimpWalsh]

I like the little epilogue bit where Roboute confesses to Aonid "You are not seeing me at my best." to which Aonid replied "The reverse is true of that......." He understands the value of a kind word. Even to a demigod.

[@silenthero2795]

It was when Guilliman expressed doubt whether those trapped in Calth can still be saved. He knows there is more to this so going back to save them is very slim. But Thiel reminded him that even if it took years, they will come back, not knowing coming back means that they would have to win the heresy in the end, so Guilliman cracked a smile about Thiel's optimism even if unintentional.

[@richardthomas9497]

Aeonid Thiel sounds like he could be a video game protagonist; gathering weapons and misfit warriors to fight the Daemons and traitors.

[@Aurora-313]

Aeonid Thiel starring in a Spacemarine style game set in 30k. Think on that for a second. :D

[@inquisitorgarza312]

Aeonid was a needed warrior within the Imperium as he was perhaps one of the few loyalists that was preparing for the worst when it came to his fellow space marines, and perhaps without him his Legion would have been destroyed without any hope of survival against the Horus Heresy.

[@guilliman1990]

The ultras where never in real danger from the wb. The wb are far far to incompetence. Calth is offensive in its failings

Know No Fear is my favorite HH Series book. Ventanus, Thiel, Sydance, Selaton, Mawre.......awesome characters.

[@hfar_in_the_sky]

Theil: "'Coming up with ways to defeat other Space Marines is treason!' they said! 'There's no reason to come up with theoreticals based around fighting other legions!' they said! And yet look at where we are now!"

[@Matt-md5yt]

he is a chad of the Legion if anything. Sad he's not mentioned compared to his brothers since he isn't a meme

[@MrWmaginn]

The MVP of Know No Fear.

[@thetau4866]

A space marine that thought like a custodian.

[@JamesLaserpimpWalsh]

Hmmmm. Not really, Marines are pack animals as it were whereas Custodes are individuals in battle. I think this got explained in The First Heretic. Argel Tal was watching them fight and was saying "There something different, I cant put my finger on it," Then the penny dropped in his mind and he outlined what I wrote above. They dont fight as a team like marines do.

[@Synthonym]

​@@JamesLaserpimpWalsh Custodes absolutely do fight as teams, it simply doesn't look it in battle because they have no need for tactical orders or traditional chains of command. Each Custodes knows through literally thousands of years of training precisely what to do, and what their comrades are doing, at any given moment. They don't need specific orders or management because of it.

[@commissaryarrick9670]

I always viewed Thiel as thinking more like a regular human while being able to fight like a superhuman . The whole well I am already in trouble so might as well have fun playing with dads stuff is extremely relatable to baseline humans

[@hfar_in_the_sky]

Pretty much! Dude was pretty much brainstorming his own version of the Blood Games and got reprimanded for it

[@qtreis]

These types of Marines are what made the XIII Legion the best in the Horus Heresy.

The fact that he was just like "Screw it, I'm all ready in trouble" and proceeds to mess around with his primarchs personal weapons 😂

[@mikeylejan8849]

Now that Guiliman is back, Ultramarines would finally think would common sense and not think of the codex as a bible.

[@Channel-23s]

Tbf the battle of catih was a slaughter until Gullimen gave the order to fight back vs the Word Bearers and boom automatic Victory and what should’ve been a W for Lorgar became a L

Thoroughly enjoyed that. But I do love the Ultramarines and all their history and lore. So, I may be a bit biased. lol

Great episode and this Ultramarine reminds me of Uriel Ventris on of the few good characters and that's cause he thinks outside the box.

Now THIS is a badass story

[@ragingmoderate6791]

What I don't understand about this is that Dorn was known to play war games against his brothers. Guilliman is said to have run theoreticals on how to defeat all of his brothers. Perterabo did the same. Russ is basically known to enjoy fighting legions. This just seems like some uptight ultramarines captain crying because a Sargeant thought of something they didnt.

[@DarthTriffid]

Primarchs wargaming each other is different to some line sergeant doing it

[@ragingmoderate6791]

@Jorah The Explorer and? My statement stands this sounds like some whiney captain screaming "heresy" 10,000 years before the inquisition copped a monopoly on it.

[@bodricthered]

Yeah, well the grimdark might not be so brain meltingly stupid in 30k but it's still there.

[@JohnDoe-yk3ji]

I always liked to think about it the way most people would say "I could never kill another person" Astartes only saw other Astartes as people, so it was harder for them to cross that mental line. That's what makes The Space Wolves, Dark Angels and World Eaters so special, they all killed Astartes before the Heresy. I assume Alpha Legion also probably did, but the vast majority of legionaries were shocked at the thought, even amongst the Word Bearers during their censure, it was really only a few that were ready to fire.

There were space marines there that day . Mostly from the first legion dark angels . The custodes were the main force but they were supported by the astartes . One of the first times the space marines were used in battle
