Endgame, Titus, and Leandros

[Civik]

So in all seriousness while it may look bad that Titus is now a captive of the inquisition until such time as he can prove that he's not a heretic, I'm not sure Leandros is going to be well received by the rest of the chapter... and how would Marneus Calgar react to one of his captains being made a captive of the inquisition. While it is not unheard of for small units to be excommunicated, I would think the chapter librarians, perhaps Tigurius himself would really like to have a chat with Titus. Especially since they are supposed to weed out those with strong warp associations to make their way into the hands of the chapter librarius.

I'm just not sure what Leandros' decision is about, normally a space marine chapter prefers to keep these kinds of matters internal and not necessarily involve outside sources... unless of course Leandros is angling to move up in the ranks and needed Titus out of the way. Which, again, makes little sense because he may have either ostracised himself from the chapter... or with Sidonus dead, gives him opportunity to tell the story as he wishes.

Something of note was that even though a veteran of the chapter, Leandros showed little of the control which you would normally expect of the position. Perhaps he made it as a veteran for individual heroism rather than time in service?

Late night ramblings, so I hope that it makes sense.

I'm not 100% certain and cannot check right now either but I believe it was said at some point that Leandros only recently completed his training. That said I don't think he's a veteran at all. I do agree on the lack of control part thou. Like in one of the earlier chapters when.Leandros wastes ammunition on an ork who' already dead (which is even more surprising given the fact he is made out to be the embodiment of the codex throughout the game constantly nagging how the codex states this and that). All that aside I'm hoping for more character development in a potential sequel (more dialogue during the missions definately would have contributed to that)

[Shuma]

He uses the Veteran gear and he has the Crux Terminatus on his knee, if he "just" completed his training then he must be a boy genius or some shit.

Anyway, i think Leandros is just a massive dick and an idiot who can't see beyond the codex.

Or he could be an Alpha Legionare Khornate Sorcerer because why the fuck not?

[BafflerMeat]

Titus is what, 150 years old? He looks to be about 40 or 50, equivocally. Leandros is younger, right? So he's just an upstart. He quotes the Codex hither a thither, bandies about spraying pious ichor about Warp influence, and ultimately isn't all that effective as a soldier. He's just an indication of the kind of blind loyalty and non-thought much of the Adeptus Astartes is bogged down with.

I really wish Sidonus had survived. He was like an Eight-foot tall Anthony Hopkins death robot.

People? what you thing about continuation Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine?

[Shuma]

Meh. And very unlikely to happen considering the state of THQ.

[fuggles]

Your best hope would be the continuation of the story in DoW3, but then it took until DoW2: Retribution to continue the story of DoW1, so even then you might have to wait about 4 years.

[Pocktio]

Yes, because Ultramarines following the codex are an entirely non-effective fighting force. Yessss.
