Garro: Knight of Grey (The Horus Heresy)

Product Information

Besides, if that death actually happens and is set before Warhawk would be absurd for his demise not having any emotional consequence in neither Keeler nor Loken, as they don't even mention it in Warhawk. But we already get that with Malcador's fate after Fury of Magnus, not mentioned at all in Mortis nor Warhawk. This multipart plastic kit builds one Knight Castellan, a titanic long range Lords of War choice for your Imperial Knights army – or a wandering Freeblade for other Imperium forces. This super-heavy walker is armed with a blast-unleashing plasma decimator, an armour-melting volcano lance, and an array of carapace-mounted meltaguns, shieldbreaker cannons, and missiles. The Knight Castellan makes a fantastic painting project and centrepiece, and offers a range of poses, face plates, and armour pieces, allowing you to create a truly unique engine of war. This kit can also be assembled as a Knight Valiant, as well as a Knight Tyrant for Chaos Knights. Kill Team Nachmund: Afterwards, Garro, Qruze and the Sister of Silence Amendera Kendel were approached by Malcador the Sigillite, the Regent of Terra, and told that the Emperor needed them to form a new Imperial organisation, outside the boundaries of the existing Imperial bureaucracy, which would utilise "...men and women of inquisitive nature, hunters who might seek the witch, the traitor, the mutant, the xenos."

Well if is confirmed this is after Warhawk... then what a mess. We already know what happens to Mortarion, and if Garro actually dies as it could be, there's no reference to it in Warhawk, not even by his closest friends like Keeler or Loken. Is like "Oh, ok, it happened, let's move on", just like what happened with Malcador after Fury Of Magnus. I'll wait to read it, but I guess this will be another sync problem between authors as has happened before in the Siege series. Nathaniel Garro, the loyalist who betrayed his father Mortarion to warn the Emperor of the horrors of Isstvan, is brought face to face with the hideously changed Primarch.It was the Assassin and the Alpha Legion operative who had massacred the faithful at Salvaguardia, where Keeler had been known to preach, and then tortured the survivors for information on the Living Saint's whereabouts. After arriving in the Sol System with the news, Garro, his fellow seventy Death Guard Astartes, Euphrati Keeler, and Iacton Qruze were all placed in a fortress on Luna called the Somnus Citadel that belonged to the Sisters of Silence while the Emperor determined whether they were truthful or were simply further pawns of the Chaos Gods. You are Astartes indeed, and that will never alter. But you are a Death Guard no longer. You are a ghost, a figure that stands between light and dark, trapped amid the grey. And I have need of such a man." Garro soon saw the larger picture. The sheer horror of it, echoed inside his thoughts. Betrayal. The idea of it made him go weak. And with that realization there came another. If Horus had prepared this treachery, then he had not done it alone, it was too big, too monumental an endeavour even for the Warmaster to have managed by himself.

During the Battle of Iota Horologi Garro distinguished himself when fighting alongside a detachment of Sisters of Silence. Their leader, Amendera Kendel promised to present his name to Malcador the Sigillite in recognition of his dutiful service. Similarly, she spoke well of him to Mortarion, who rewarded his Battle-Captain by selecting him for the tradition of sharing his cups. Mortarion also chose this moment to subtly sound Garro out about where he and his men might position themselves in the face of rebellion against the Emperor. Upon learning that Garro was unwilling to join the warrior-lodge within the Death Guard, Mortarion decided to take Garro to the meeting with Warmaster Horus at the initiation of the Isstvan campaign as his equerry, in an attempt to ensure Garro's loyalty. [1b] Exchange between former Ultramarines Librarian Tylos Rubio and Nathaniel Garro during the Battle of Calth Garro and his Loyalist Astartes managed to defeat the foul creatures with the aid of Cerberus; however, once the undead had been destroyed, Garro and Cerberus had one more one-on-one combat match, as Loken perceived the group of Astartes as Traitors who had come to kill him. Longworth is, as always, the definitive voice for anything involving Nathaniel Garro and Swallow writes the characters with such depth and sublime complexity that we could just as easily place them in an office setting and they would lose nothing of their resonance. It would all be perfect if not for one thing...the ending. Arin shared with the Astartes what he had witnessed. Digesting what the housecarl told him, Voyen realised with growing horror that the deadly cargo were Life-Eater virus bombs -- an engineered viral strain of such complete lethality that it could only be deployed in the most extreme circumstances, usually against the most foul xenos.

Customer reviews

I decided to take a break from listening to the audiobook version of this novella to start this thread because there's something about the characterization and setting that annoys me. The next Astartes that Garro recruited was Captain Macer Varren, a former battle-brother of the XII th Legion, the World Eaters, who had turned Traitor to the Emperor and followed Horus in his madness. Like Garro and his fellow Death Guard warriors, Varren too, had forsaken his own kinsmen after they swore fealty to the Warmaster and the Dark God Khorne.

The ending is what reminds of what setting we're in; it is merciless, it is disheartening, it is hurtful in a way, but it is also the only just ending for the story of Nathaniel Garro and Euphrati Keeler and the only rational ending that can be afforded by the specifics of the setting. It is the end that cinches everything together and provides the greatest impact and relevance to the characters and all their past and future choices. Born on Terra, in the region of that world known as Albia, Garro enlisted in the Dusk Raiders Legion, as the Death Guard was known before its reunion with its Primarch, Mortarion, and its relocation to its new base on Barbarus. [1d] By the time of the Horus Heresy, Garro was one of the few originally Terran Marines still serving in the Legion, which caused a rift between him and his fellow Captains, who often called him "Straight-Arrow Garro." [1c] Battle-Captain This was dereliction of duty, grounds for severe chastisement at a minimum. If the Warmaster learned of the battle-captain's insubordination, it would taint them, and the entire Death Guard. His next mission took him away from Terra to Nolec Trimus, where he battled a dragon-like daemon that fed on blood. Faced with Garro alone, the daemon would not be lured to fully inhabit its flesh vessel without more prey. Garro waited until reinforcements came to him, killing the beast alongside former Death Guard Helig Gallor when it took the bait. [5]Whilst many Legions had the tradition of giving the honorific of "first captain" to the commanding officer of the elite 1 st Company, the Death Guard also held two more privileged titles, to be bestowed upon the leaders of the 2 nd and 7 th Great Companies, respectively.
