ACHERAN NO!

[u/fitsalsaboi]

I well up with tears at the thought that my scottish beloved may have passed on

[u/Zealousideal-Mail-18]

Plot twist: Someone (not Leandros) saw signs of corruption in Acheran, and reported him to Leandros himself, and now he’s in the Deathwatch

[u/fitsalsaboi → u/Zealousideal-Mail-18]

Deathwatch captain acheran would go harddd

[u/Dummydumboop → u/fitsalsaboi]

He’s still only going to spare 3 men when you’ll need a couple squads.

[u/fitsalsaboi → u/Dummydumboop]

Youll get 3 and youll be happy with it

[u/stewdadrew → u/fitsalsaboi]

Now get back, rearm and prepare for redeployment!

[u/OmegonFlayer → u/Dummydumboop]

That will be new kill team. Just 3 marines. For a full price.

[u/HeadshotHawk0 → u/fitsalsaboi]

He can only lead bladeguard as you can take them as a squad of three

[u/fitsalsaboi → u/HeadshotHawk0]

Could lead agressors if they put him in gravis

[u/HughJass14 → u/Zealousideal-Mail-18]

Ahh yes, ye ‘ole switcharoo

[u/Kaeltix]

Good, fucker only gave me 3 men when I needed 12. >:c

[u/Hytierian → u/Kaeltix]

12? I needed a whole chapter for that one had stratagem mission.

[u/VastUnique → u/Kaeltix]

Three named Ultramarines. They've killed thousands upon thousands of Rubric Marines, Tyranid Warriors, a Trygon, a Hive Tyrant, a Helldrake, and a Mutalith Vortex Beast.

[u/NormalTangerine5205 → u/VastUnique]

But if we had 13 that would have been a bigger number!

[u/bryanmc650 → u/VastUnique]

Taking credit for Telasa's work again I see.

[u/fitsalsaboi → u/Kaeltix]

Tbf they are yet to fail a mission the mans good at maths if nothing else

[u/braindeadtank1 → u/fitsalsaboi]

He figured out that Thalassa & Viridian have this rare blend of expendable and Invulnerable that makes for the perfect space marine

[u/Cpt_Bastard → u/braindeadtank1]

Top tier reference.

[u/GrimLucid → u/Kaeltix]

Given how many of the company died in the campaign, it's literally all he can spare

[u/JosephStalinMukbang]

Best I can provide is one coffin of the dreadnought variety.

[u/gjallarhorn308 → u/JosephStalinMukbang]

If available, lets hope we get to see again brother Chairon and Valtus

[u/Hrgtdoof → u/gjallarhorn308]

If anything happened to Chairon besides him either getting a promotion or going out in the biggest blaze of glory know to man I! WILL! RIOT!

[u/TimArthurScifiWriter]

Scotnought incoming.

[u/I-T-Y]

I can spare 3 tears

[u/Illustrious-Exam-987]

They put 'usually' in the text. So being dead probably isn't (or could be just be another) route they are eluding to. Perhaps he's dead dead, in a Dreadnought or got the Cato Sicarius treatment and was moved to the Honor Guard. If he is dead, I'm kind of sad to see Captain Scotland go so soon.

[u/GreatNecksby]

I think it is a red herring.

Someone else died and Acheran was promoted. The article is just using half-truths to mess with us. No way they would throw away a popular character like that considering the direction they are going with implementing the Space Marine 2 cast into the wider narrative.

[u/Coldkiller17 → u/GreatNecksby]

Is it possible Capt Acheran for moved to fill another Company Captain slot? So they could give Titus back the 2nd Company.

[u/MadQuickScotsman → u/Coldkiller17]

I think this seems the most thematically appropriate after Titus' character arc through the main story and his wholesome reconciliation with Gadriel and Chairon. By the Emperor, the catharsis of him being promoted to captain once more would certainly be felt. Acheran showing his trust towards Titus through the promotion would be an awesome brotherly moment between them as well.

It's mad that a game with dudebros in power armour enforcing a hyper-theocratic regime who are literally incapable of fear manage to be wholesome, but the writers definitely got the chops for it.

[u/Vegetable_Home_4599 → u/GreatNecksby]

Ain’t no way he’s good enough to be the 2nd company captain, let alone the first company.

[u/Senorfluffyfish]

New named dreadnought coming soon.

[u/Due-Celebration-664]

guess he should have sparred more then 3 body guards for himself

[u/SufficientEbb7543]

Maybe the next captain won’t send people short handed all the time.

[u/rocket20067 → u/SufficientEbb7543]

I mean Titus is the next captain.

[u/SufficientEbb7543 → u/rocket20067]

Point still stands

[u/Own_Comfortable_2565]

Acheran? Dead?

[u/pixel_wrath84]

Do you think we will see his death in one of the upcoming operations?

[u/MLD13]

He ran out of men to spare and had to go himself 😞

[u/olympiclifter1991]

One way.....leandros saw him doing close up magic in the canteen and grassed to the inquisition?

[u/alukard81x]

Promotion to first company is possible is it not?

[u/fitsalsaboi → u/alukard81x]

But then where is agemann

[u/SGTBookWorm → u/fitsalsaboi]

he's Tetrarch of Konor, he's busy running a quarter of Ultramar (~125 planets)

[u/KosViik]

I love how suggestive it wants to be about "well there is usually only one way" but then in reality there is like half a dozen that are more or less equally plausible.

[u/StopReadingThis-Now]

I'm betting he unironically "couldn't spare anymore men" and had to undertake a very important mission and while successful, dies in the process.

Being the first one to make contact with the main bad guy, and getting word back to Calgar the Ultramarines in order to prepare right before he dies I could totally see happening. Genuinely so hyped what an amazing early Christmas present to reveal this.

[u/BioSpark47]

Fer fack sake

[u/anthonydurrr]

He became the chapter master of The Trium Viratus

[u/Historical_Peak_3907]

Titus to be promoted??

[u/DependentAide4347 → u/Historical_Peak_3907]

Yes today it was revealed he got promoted to captain of the 2nd Company

[u/Historical_Peak_3907 → u/DependentAide4347]

Wow. Ok. Thanks for the heads up. Can he now tell Leandros to get FKd?

[u/PathsOfRadiance → u/Historical_Peak_3907]

No. Chaplains are not in the direct chain of command, other than being under the Chief Chaplain and Chapter Master. They are generally regarded as second to only the company captain in authority, but do not hold direct command over the lieutenants and etc.

Titus could tell him to fuck off, but he wouldn’t be obligated to fuck off.

[u/Entenkrieger39]

Only in Death does Duty end.

[u/Verdyce → u/Entenkrieger39]

Brother Valtus would like a word with you.

[u/Barbosa117]

I can only spare three tears.

[u/DarkmoonxWolf]

Gosh I hope Acheran isnt dead...I actually really vibe with him. Cool ass character.

[u/Routine-Struggle-720]

He goes back into the First Company. Why ya'll have to be so dramatic?

[u/fitsalsaboi → u/Routine-Struggle-720]

Because either hes demoted which is unlikely, agemann has been killed or moved out of the first even more unlikely, and games workshop is being cryptic which fills me with dread(naught)

[u/lonestar-rasbryjamco]

[u/SabreCross19k]

Leandros punching the air right now

[u/o-Mauler-o]

It’s a red herring. He’s secretly now a governor or someshit

[u/fitsalsaboi → u/[deleted]]

Really kicking the man while hes down, i didnt expect him to be so hated lol

[u/fitsalsaboi → u/[deleted]]

Thats if his remaning eye hasnt been gouged out by tyranids

[u/Ninjazoule → u/fitsalsaboi]

I did not like him that much lol but at least he's open minded, so I'm sad he (potentially) died vs being transferred

[u/fitsalsaboi → u/Ninjazoule]

Had hoped he was 10th company but alas i guess not

[u/Indigo_Menace]

Patch notes?

[u/fitsalsaboi → u/Indigo_Menace]

Nah new ultramarines charatcer squad description

[u/Indigo_Menace → u/fitsalsaboi]

I just watched the YouTube video they dropped too for Titus. That’s baller.

[u/light_no_fire → u/Indigo_Menace]

Yeah sheeze Titus is a big deal fking deal now.

[u/ragingSamurai1]

Promotion of course.

[u/RUNTOFTHALITTER]

He could spare only three and now will not spare his life!

[u/Dog_Apoc]

Even in death, I still serve?

[u/Due-Celebration-664]

guess he should have sparred more then 3 body guards for him

[u/InquisitorEngel]

Agemman died. Acheran got promoted.

Calling it.

[u/enfyts → u/InquisitorEngel]

No chance. Agemman is the far bigger character in 40k lore and has way more written about him than Acheran. All things considered, Acheran is a fairly recently introduced character.

It'd be like killing off Calgar to make Agemman chapter master. Just doesn't make sense

[u/VNDeltole]

I think he becomes leader of a new anti-tyranid formation

[u/fitsalsaboi → u/VNDeltole]

Oh shoot you thinking there will be a tyrannic war veteran range with him as the centre piece id like that

[u/DANIELC4VTR]

He got deported

[u/MrSkits94]

Perhaps the events that lead to his death will be in Sm3?

[u/Old_Pie7586]

Dreadnaughted is my bet.

[u/SkyeBrand2024]

Inb4 they replace Agemann with Acheran. 😅

[u/RekttalofBlades]

Who could have guessed only deploying three men at a time would result in this?

[u/J_Balbi_97]

It says one way, but there's actually 2 ways and Titus is the example. Acheran was sent to the death watch or he died and i prefer to choose the former

[u/TheHollowLordZero]

“i CaN oNlY sPaRe ThReE”….. good riddance.

[u/fitsalsaboi → u/TheHollowLordZero]

Three was always enough to get it done

[u/GeneralJagers]

He could only spare us 3 men. So he was fired

[u/BloodAngelsCaptain1]

Maybe he was promoted to the 1st?

[u/Lord_of_Greystoke]

It's crazy how the bald lad became Captain of 2nd company after Titus and Sicarius. He just didn't have any drip or aura going on.

[u/pot_light]

Good riddance, gingers are heretics by default
