The Anchorite

[abyssalvoid]

Bad ass, I love stories about marines from traitor chapters ether staying Loyalist or returning

[korien]

The Anchorite: "Rylanor, you son of bitch." Cue Predator Handshake scene

[TRAVISHOWRYMUSIC]

I loved the way the anchorite kept calling the chaos lord "boy" when finally talking to him lol

[thecommentguy]

"Hey Demons!"
...
"SAWCON THESE HOLY EMPEROR'S BALLS"

[Brutalyte]

*"...LIEUTENANT. I TOOK A SOLEMN VOW IN THE GOD-EMPEROR'S MOST HOLY NAME THAT I WOULD NEVER FIGHT OR GO TO WAR AGAIN. I WOULD ASK YOU DO NOT TAKE MY VOWS TO HIM SO LIGHTLY. THAT SAID, NOTHING IN MY VOW PROHIBITS ME FROM DISCIPLINING THE UPPITY BRATS MY FORMER BROTHERS HAVE BECOME. LIEUTENANT. HAND ME MY POWER-BELT..."*

A pacifist Dreadnaught, is one hell of a thing to wrap my head around.

[Fuerto]

Correction, he wasn't a contemptor dreadnought whenhe surrendered to the Ultramarines, but still an astartes.
He tried to kill himself multiple times during his imprisonment, and almost succeeded once, which is when he was put into a contemptor dreadnought

[Qardo]

"I chose pacifism to preserve life and guide souls to his holiness. But, you are not a living being. And your soul is damned." Six-barrel bolter starts to spool up and unleashes holy fury.

It’s also important to point out hat When Gulliman meets him again he realizes. In his attempt to spare a Word Bearer for the Shame he felt, it resulted in the Imperial Cult being formed… which resulted in the Emperor becoming an even stronger Psyker. Gulliman in two major moments of his life shaped the Imperium of the 41 Millennium.

I RECALL THE VIRTUES I STOOD FOR!
I REMEMBER THE STRUGGLES AND THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE DONE!
I REMEMBER THE LESSONS PASSED ON TO THE SONS!!!

“The destruction of Monarchia was a test of faith and we have failed”

[elbolainas]

Fighting against impossible odds while preaching at top of your lungs is the most 40k thing ever

[dinosdaniel]

I remember he became a Dreadnought after trying to kill himself in imprisonment.

[Erikon]

You know you're screwed when the ultramarines chaos fridge starts spouting scripture at you

[andrewcr]

The contingent had Raven Guard and White Scars elements as well, while the Imperial Fists took a Commanding role in the defense

[synergy]

“oh fuck he’s chanting a divine spel-“
“FUS DOH RAH!”

[victorkaranja]

Raylanor and anchorite, brothers in arms against degenerates

[moe]

This dread has the potential to rival bjorn as the oldest loyalist space marine

[IonicSarge]

I literally just finished Know No Fear, the book about Calth, while I don’t remember the Anchorite being in it I do vividly remember how REASONABLY earth shatteringly fuck ass angry Roboute was and how he called Lorgar and the word Bearers a bunch of motherless Basterds. Probably my favorite G-man moment ever

[mrpizzacat]

Gotta love Contempter Dreadnoughts from traitor legions refusing to give into their traitor primarchs stupidity and instead doing the most badass titanium balls shit. Gotta be one of my favourite genders. (3 and countin)
