    Enjoy your take on the fluff. Well written. You should try doing a short fiction part for the character.

    Looks very good. Only question I have and its for me. Where did you get the date for Malvolion. Or did you create it? I have it at the end of 999.M41 Where as you have it as 994.M41

    Glad I have helped inspire a little. Like your ideas about the Chapter Master. Very well done.

    I set it a few years early just so I could have a few post-Malvolion bullets without going into M.42
