2/12/2023 0 Comments Warhammer 40k konrad curzeOne member of the chapter in the deathwatch was abnormally large even for an astartes and claimed that his chapter had never been defeated on solid ground. Really great allusion, as everything they do harkens back to that myth. They are an allusion to Antaeus, a giant who could not be defeated while touching the earth. Really cool concept with very little content (though that may be for the best, as too much content would likely dull the mystery and water them down). Plus they really pissed off the Marines Malevolent by giving them a taste of their own friendly fire medicine. Overall, cool lore, cool name, cool aesthetic, and plenty to theorize about. It’s a badass chapter with some strange mysteries regarding their probably Dark Angel (and possibly Dreadwing) associations. Also, in order to join the chapter you have to straight up die and bring yourself back to life. They focus primarily on getting the job done rather than winning “honorably”, meaning they actually have some common sense. Great chapter culture with interesting beliefs on death which help shape their combat practices. These guys don’t have nearly the wash-out rate of the Grey Knights (oddly enough) and are generally very effective against demons and still pretty effective against other threats. If the Ordo Malleus focused more on guys like these instead of the Grey Knights, there’d probably be far fewer demons. Cool aesthetic, but just a really cool concept.
