    With the level of shenanigans a creation of Fabius Bile can pull, the degree of caution shown by the Doom Eagle leadership is completely justified. That knowledge doesn't stop the reader from feeling deep frustration about it though. The final vindication of a loyal man felt good, especially considering how rare such stories are in 40k.

      There's always the possibility of certain 'hybrid' ultramarine successors being the remnants of the lost legions as their character can be very un-ultramarine (Doom Eagles, Mortifactors, Silver Skulls)
