Adepta Sororitas & Ordo Hereticus

[Melissia]

No one ever mentions that the Grand Master of the Officio Assassinorum when speaking of the high lords. The office holds enough power to ensure a permanent seat among the high lords. Talk about GW totally ignoring something for a while, assassins get even less coverage then the sob's if that is even possible.

That's because Assassins do not make up an army on their own, and are damned rare regardless.


Mind you, not as rare as Marines probably.

I think they are more rare then marines. They say the lost of 6 assassins will take an extremly long time to make up for.

It could also be that no one wants to talk about the assassins for fear of bringing their attention on themselves. It is extremely possible that those who talk about assassins "disappear", possibly along with their entire families. That would be enough incentive for most people to keep quiet. And those who don't keep quiet, well, they aren't around to talk for long.

I thought the fluff was that the Squat homeworlds and colonies were et by Tyranids, leaving only scattered and embittered survivors around the place? That makes more sense. The survivirs would be less keen on risking their lives in battle and more keen on breeding like rabbits on some isolated world somwhere to try and rebuild their civilization.

As to assassins, it does make more sense for them to be kept mysterious and un-written about. in my opinion at least. They are covert agents, not an army like Adepta Sororitas.

Squats didn't even get eaten by a hive fleet. The whole getting eaten by a hive fleet never made any sense if you think about it. Squats were found through out the entire Imperium. Did an entire hive fleet just go through the Imperium tragetting nothing but Squats? They just disappeared.
