Outer Dark

Product Information

Despite their long isolation from the Imperium, the Chapter and its battle-brothers seem deeply, almost incredibly, loyal. Most of the Carcharodons encountered have shown reverence towards the Imperial Creed and places of Imperial worship. Many also make a habit of carrying devotional items such as prayer scrolls on their wargear. Many Carcharodons battle-brothers carry abstract scrimshaw talismans, or decorate their armour with intricate and abstract line-work. These talismans, etchings, and traceries often depict highly stylised images of fanged maws, death's heads, oceanic predators, and the like. This primitivism likely evolved as part of the Chapter's unique and impenetrable culture over millennia of isolation. In the novel Carcharodons: Outer Dark Wandering Ancestor Itako is listed as a Contemptor Dreadnought. However the description provided is actually that of a Leviathan Dreadnought.

Furthermore, this Chapter is often misidentified with other lesser-known Chapters operating with similar nomenclatures and symbology (i.e. "Void Reapers", "Blood Sharks", etc.). Indimenticabile la scena dello sterminato branco di maiali che si comportano come lemuri, lungo la gola, fino al burrone, trascinando il loro mandriano. He rose and went on until he reached the gap in the ridge and before long he could see the first of them coming along the road below him and then suddenly the entire valley was filled with hogs, a weltering sea of them that came smoking over the dusty plain and flowed undiminished into the narrows of the cut, fanning on the slopes in ragged shoals like the harried outer guard of schooled fish and here and there upright and cursing among them and laboring with poles the drovers gaunt and fever-eyed with incredible rag costumes and wild hair.A travelling tinker finds the child and saves it. To hide his abandonment of the child, Culla prepares a grave, a deception Rinthy sees through, digging up the grave herself to find that no body is there. The Carcharodons have been observed to make use of Chaplains and Librarians, with little deviation from their roles in other Chapters. However, Apothecaries and Techmarines seldom appear outside the Carcharodons' nomad fleet. It's very likely that the Carcharodons recognise the vital role these Space Marines play in preserving and maintaining their Chapter's very existence, and keep them on hand whenever possible. In modern days, the Outer Dark was allegedly ruled by Kthara, Mother of Demons, [14] then by the Haemovore Kings of the Outer Dark, part of the Lords of the Splinter Realms. [2] While Kthara's claim's truth remains unknown, the Haemovore Kings' membership among the Lords of the Splinter Realms seemingly confirms their status. Storia a tratti grottesca e quasi ironica, per poi passare a passaggi tragici e sanguinolenti ed altri al limite dell'onirico, fino a momenti di pura riflessione interiore e di rapporto con la natura più aspra. don’t know why God ain’t put out the sun and gone away,” he tells Rinthy, and later he is murdered by the three strangers, who in turn take the child away from him. There is the suggestion that, in the end, Culla has taken the tinker’s place as the eternal wanderer on nameless roads.

That’s all horrifying in and of itself. What makes it especially difficult to bear, however, is the fact that the mother and father are sister and brother. Having given 5* to The Road (my review here http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...), I was surprised and disappointed at how much I disliked this. La terra e i suoi abitanti, coloro che la percorrono e calpestano, sono forze del Caos: sono come forze primarie di un cosmo votato alla distruzione, alla dissoluzione, alla degenerazione. Further on his journey Culla finds an old man who gives him a drink of water and shows off his gun and hunting trophies. He invites Culla to stay and learn snake hunting from him. He refuses. The trio again shows up and kills the man.Davanti a lui si estendeva una radura spettrale di cui si scorgevano solo gli alberi nudi, in atteggiamento di agonia vagamente umana, come figure in un paesaggio di dannati. Un giardino su cui ristagnava il fumo dei morti, che scompariva verso la curva dell'orizzonte…Un vento putrido soffiava da questa desolazione e le canne palustri e le felci nere tra i quali si infilava dolcemente, ondeggiavano come schiere incatenate. These attitudes seem to apply to the Chapter's overall organisation. Although anecdotal evidence indicates the Carcharodons roughly conform to the tactical and squad doctrines of the Codex Astartes, this does not carry over to its command structure and company arrangements. Indomitus Crusade (Unknown Date.M42) - The world of Budor V was home to the Imperial Castellus Sanctic citadel. During the Indomitus Crusade, the citadel was captured by a force of Heretic Astartes of the Word Bearers, who repelled numerous sieges led by elements of the crusade's Fleet Secundus, Battlegroup Betaris. When the Traitors' diabolists began to summon Daemons, they were all slain in a sudden strike by Carcharodons Astartes under the command of Company Master Mannfor, whose strike cruiser Ma-tahe had allied itself with Fleet Secundus, coming and going from the void as the company master willed. Haemovore Kings of the Outer Dark; Demons of the third class, including Great Old Ones; N'Garai [3] Instead, the Carcharodons seem to split their Chapter into a number of Battle Companies designed to operate independently. Each has an augmented auxiliary force of Scout Marines for reconnaissance and evaluation of the enemy, and a dedicated spearhead of Terminator Veterans who serve as the company Captain's bodyguard. It seems likely the Carcharodons eschew Reserve Companies entirely.
