    I get the same feeling about Mortarion, one of the Daemon Primarchs, being taken down several notches by Draigo...

    I will give Abbadon credit, he ambushed the GK with several blanks to bring him down, a cunning move.
    Still the saddest part of the book for me. Draigo punching Azrael only partially makes up for it.

    Man, that book was terrible... at least it had cool moments, even if half of them were delivered like a wet fish...

    That annoys the crap out of me, that the core of the DA's identity (their secret) is revealed to be known to the Grand Master of the Grey Knights and in such a casual, offhand fashion too. Silly, stupid book. The can of worms that opens is ludicrous and basically undermines the entire raison d'etre of the Unforgiven but LOLOLOL we have to make the Grey Knights look cool. Blech.

    Because it's information that's only useful as a threat? Because it'd be the GK that likely would have to bring the DA to task over something that happened ages ago and they don't want the extra workload? Because the DA are really quite bad at keeping secrets? Seriously, 10 millennia of acting like they have some big secret to keep is only going to make people curious. They don't even have distractions built in like the Blood Angels with their "look at this thing I made" quest for perfection or the Space Wolves "I'm riding a wolf, all questions not about this wolf are cleansed from your mind."

    No, but they do have the distraction of straight-up murdering any number of people if they're exposed to even a hint of the fallen

    I actually liked CZ Dunn's "Protector of Secrets" story, even if Pandorax was quite poo. It showed Azrael ordering the murder of his Guard allies because they were exposed to the fallen for all of a second. But it weighs heavily on him and you can see his deep regret. That was cool.

    Anyway, I'm way off-topic here

    The whole raison d'etre of the dark angels being about how secretive their secret secrets are whole their secret search for secret traitors who secretly might not be secretly traitors because secretyly the secret leaders of the da might have secretly been planning to secretly not be loyal and this is all a great big secret kept secret by the DAs super secret secret squad isn't exactly the deepest backstory I've seen before.

    It's good enough for me!

    Probably about as deep as "we hunt daemons because Emperor" at any rate

    So basically in short "Don't mess with my friend or i'll tell mum on you."

    On a more serious note, i'd be super bummed if GK's don't get any new kits at all. I don't collect them and i don't plan to, but i love seeing all the new toys that each army gets with it's new update.
