Dawn of War II The Space Marines

DAWN OF WAR II

Aramus- The youngest Blood Raven to actually rise to a rank of Force Commander, many acknowledge his abilities as a leader but most see him as premature.  But his promotion was from the Chapter Master himself even though they never met in person.  He proved his abilities in the Hadrian Campaign, with only a few marines he led them to victory.  In the book, he is very protective and was born in Meridian and was from a rich family.

Tarkus- The sergeant of tactical marines, rock hard and with a solid exterior he leads his marines into battle.  Slow to anger, he proved himself worthy by defeating the Tau and the Necrons in the Kronus campaign. With that achievment he won the terminator honors.  He respects everyone in the team and usually just stays back when there is a feud againest Thaddeus and Avitus.

Avitus-What a person would really call a space marine because of his emotionless power and rage.  With rage being the most powerful weapon he leaves no enemy alive unchecked.  He lost his emotions againest the 1st Kronus Regiment againest Governer Militent Lukas Alexander.  After his men fell againest the unrelenting number of guardsmen, now he holds a grudge againest normal humans because he finds them weak and useless. He has a metal plating on his lower jaw bone, he lost it againest the imperial guards. He also bickers with Thaddeus on the lives of people. 

Cyrus-He commands and trains the neophytes to become fully fledged space marines.  He served the Deathwatch(Ordo Xenos) before coming to the Blood Ravens.  He is quiet and to the point and like Tarkus he sits back while Avitus and Thaddeus bitch about the lives of the innocent.

Thaddeus-Avitus consider him naive because of his devotion to protect. Thaddeus is from the poor side of Meridian.  He once was a gang leader but was plucked off the planet in the orders of Thule.  He is very eager to get in battle and fight for the emperor.  He holds a violent relationship with Avitus.

Gordian-Being the apothecary onboard the Armageddon he supports the marines with healing and dealing with massive injuries.  He watches over Thule when he was injected with a poison.  In the Last Stand Gordian is attacked by tyranids and falls.

Martellus-The techmarine of the Armageddon, he would rather be below decks to take care of the dreadnaughts but instead he is on deck and commanding the ship.  He encases davian thule into the dreadnaught. 

Davian Thule-After leading the Kronus campaign and killing the chaos witch he is still powerful as ever.  But in Calderis, he is poisoned and brought back to life into a Dreadnaught.

Then there are two distress signals, 1 concerning the stormboy nob, Skykilla and another concerning a nob named Gutwrencha. Aramus’s team quickly dispatches them and decide to kill the head ork.  While chasing Mek Badzappa they meet Thaddeus.(in the novel it shows that Armaus, the new captain is friends with Thaddeus because both of them are from Meridian, the capital of Sub-Sector Aurelia. Aramus is from a rich family while Thaddeus is a once gang leader) The team break through the defenses of the orks who were entrenched in the mines.  Before that they see figures on the hills. They press the attack and find eldar and orks fighting eachother.  They dispatch them both and find the eldar led by a unnamed Eldar Warlock. They kill him too and are issued to travel to Typhon Primaris a jungle world. they also meet techmarine Martellus and Apothecary Gordian beforehand.  The orks attack a communications array on Typhon and the space marines are issued to defend it. They are victorious and are issued another order, to destory an eldar warp spider exarch.  fighting after wave after wave of eldar they reach the pit and defeat the smiling warp spider. Then a urgent call from thule arrives saying that he needs asistence back at calderis. Mek badzappa are trying to overrun Argus the Calderean Capital. After planet fall they chase down badzappa and defend argus gate. The mek is defeated while the defense was going. Thule abruptly voxes in and issues an order to extract(to pull out and get to space) but Aramus ventures in Calderis and sees what the true horrors are: Tyranids. Thules men fight to survive and masses of hormagaunts and termagaunts are devastating everything in site.  All seems well except a myetic spore drops down, carrying a special warrior brood. the warrior injures thule and runs away as martellus commands the thunderhwak 2 to extract everyone and order a bombing run, purifying the field. Onboard the Armmageddon the discuss with Apothecary Gordian as he attempts to cure thule of the lethal assault.  His vital organs damaged and a deadly poison runs through him.  Cyrus warns the blood ravens as they face the most terrifying enemy. Martellus tries to contact any support possbile.  Until then, Aramus and his warriors are deployed to Typhon to eliminate Nemarian a ranger.  The marines hunt him down and eliminate him easily and are assigned to destroy the webway assemblies  and webways.  After the mission’s success they return to Calderis to exact vengeance of thule on the warrior brood.  While orbiting Calderis, Martellus notes a message from Chapter Command.  Captain Gabriel Angelos of the 3rd company aboard the Litany of Fury contacts the Armageddon and are heading to sub sector Aurelia but are weeks away, so they decide to continue hunting down the beast.  The beast proves a very dangerous threat but is victory day for the Blood Ravens.  The servitors are dispatched to get the anyalsis of the creature to get a sample of its poison. Commander Angelos congratulates the team and list 3 important factors of victory againest the Hive Fleet in this matter,

• Locate the Astronomic Array to locate the main location of the Hive

They cut through the tyranids with their new found hope.  They meet up with Gabriel and his elite force and head toward an alter to destroy the Hive Tyrant Alpha a massive being that is a sub ruler of the hive fleet.  While the 3rd company of marines hold the line with the guardsmen they make one last push to decapitate the hive.  They meet the Hive Tyrant and engage in a ferocious battle.  Hammers fly, Flesh meets talons, Swords clang.  Gabriel, Aramus, and Davian Thule’s strength is too much for the tyrant and has no choice but to die.  The marines led by Aramus are extracted to treat wounds while Gabriel and Imperial Guards still fight againest the Hive.  The 5th company has won the battle but not the war…They have done their part..for now….
