"ASMODAIIIIIII!" "INTERROGATE?!" "HE HAS A SUSPICIOUS BOOK!" "BOOK!" "HE'S IN CAHOOTS WITH THE FALLEN!" "FALLEN!!" "MAKE HIM REPENT! " "REEEPENNNNTTTT!!"
-
Asmodai could never be the head Chaplain. One example will make my point, Asmodai once made an entire company swear an oath of silence for an entire year. Their crime? He heard one of them laughing... once. I absolutely love the dynamic between Asmodai and Sapphon, my fav moment between them is when they actually agree on something and try to rope Sammael into their plan and he wants nothing to do with it.
-
Ezekiel is actually the reason I got into dark angels way back when. I always thought he was an underrated aspect of the chapter. A true reflection of some of the traits. Asmodai always seemed like a lunatic. Someone to avoid giving the reins of power lest he steer the ship into a maelstrom
-
Sapphon is just a far better leader and more reasonable person than Asmodai, Asmodai is the guy your scared of but secretly hoping gets hit with a lascannon Sapphon is the kind of guy you'd jump infront of a lascannon blast to save.
-
That was a great scene where Sapphon stopped Asmodai in his tracks. A feat few could manage at all, whilst done calmly and effortlessly. Sapphon is 100% the right choice for master of sanctity. Whilst he seems an insufficient disciplinarian in the moment, I'd wager the talk he planned to have with that terminator would be profoundly impactful and transfomative, more so than a sharp rebuke. He'd change the terminators outlook rather than a behavioural flaw.
-
So glad to see lore that doesn’t just glorify Asmodai as the end all he all of the Dark Angels. We need more Sapphon!
-
Azreal wants to save the DA from their curse and complete the hunt. Saphin can help them find identity and purpose without the fallen. Asmodai is not capable of moving into a new age without tainting it with the darkness inside of him.
-
Sapphon and Asmodai, represent the duality of the Dark Angels and it is fascinating to see. In turn these two characters represent what is within the Lion. Yeah our favorite primarch is socially inept, yet these two marines show more than anything who he is. Now if a proper writer can capture it that would be even better. For as the False Oracle has spoken, “The Lion will return.”
-
He has a deeper voice. And he isn’t borderline insane.
-
Well done, Wolf Lord. It's rarer and rarer to do dives into new and more obscure characters. This really is top shelf content.
-
If the Lion was around, Asmodai would go the way of Brother-Redemptor Nemiel.
-
Asmodai is a damn psychopath (even for 40k). Every organization needs a front man to sell it. Asmodai is not that.
-
The real question is who wouldn’t choose Sapphon over Asmodai? Asmodai‘s a nut job 💀
-
If the lion returns I think Asmodai could yell his way into losing his head.
-
The reason is simple: Asmodai is the man you want executing strategy, not formulating it.
-
ASMODAI: Why that's a nice city you got there... it be a shame if any rumors of FALLEN were staying there... ((flicks lighter))
-
Asmodai and the brutal, uncompromising nature of the Angels when pulled along by his momentum have long been one of the largest reasons for why I haven't appreciated the Angels as much as I admired the Lion himself. If Sapphon can be a curb to that extremity, and bring some much-needed humanity and reason to their interactions with others, I could really see them rising to again be seen as one of the most powerful and trusted chapters. I hope that should the Lion be the next to return, he sees the critical importance of Sapphon to the chapter's future. Really loved the story, especially his recognization that the worth of old chapter trinkets and trash matter far less than the trust and admiration of the mortal humans of the Imperium
-
First for the first legion baby
-
In retrospect, i can't help but feel sapphon and his portrayal here is a lead up to the lion's character upon his return
-
as much as i like Asmodai's zealotry, i have a feeling that with Sapphon calm demeanor, he would be able to take on Asmodai in a fight using Asmodai's rage to his advantage
