Grey Knights/Awesome: Difference between revisions

*** That moment is great, but not the real CMOA. The true Crowning Moment occurs just after that, when the daemon makes yet more attempts to possess him. Alaric is on his last legs, and with the Collar of Khorne suppressing his psyker abilities, the only thing holding back the daemon is his own willpower. Realising that the daemon is never going to give up, Alaric summons up every image of bloodshed, every atrocity he's ever witnessed, every horrifying and sanity-blasting memory he has. And then he stops resisting, driving himself insane in the process. Lets repeat that, he stopped himself from being possessed by voluntarily going mad. Wow.

** Yeah, Alaric is the kind of guy who will always have a quote before stomping some daemon. And don't forget at the conclusion of the novel he starts an uprising which destroys ''an entire Khorne Daemon World and sabotages a Black Crusade'', and he survives and return to the Imperium. All without any help from his Chapter.

*** Oh, yes -- at the end of destroying an entire Daemon world, which you might think distracting, he finds an eldar gladiator trying to stow away. He explains that talking to him, he had indulged in [[Feed the Mole]] and knows that the eldar was a spy. No detail is too small for him in cleaning up that world.

**** Not only knowing that the eldar was a spy, but also {{spoiler|not an Eldar as he claimed to be, but a Dark Eldar Mandrake}}
