The Legendary Sword Of Garro - 40K Theories 

I was here because i heard sword an though Excalibur.

I never read the Garro books, but have recently finished ‘Saturnine’ and was very curious about his sword! Off topic but I wasn’t a fan of how many characters Abaddon killed in that scene, yes he’s powerful but he’s not THAT powerful!

Baldemort has another part of the theory. Gulliman has a table for all of his brothers.....a round table.. 20 primarchs, 20 orginal Knights of the Round table. Also, questing knights. Russ is searching for that which will restore the Emperor. That is the grail. Jaghatai, Dorn, The Raven, are all in the warp questing. Vulcan's sons are questing to bring him back.

Don't forget about the version where the sword was a gift from the Ladie of the Lake...

@@samliekens5433 Oh yeah there's a crap ton of differing stories overall. Would you prefer a pre-roman version, roman version or a post-roman version of the story? xD

Merlin, since we know he is also a perpetual

Then that would make Horus Vortigern

@@kennethbedwell5188 Isn't Malcador just an extremely long lived guy? For human standards.

**SPOILER ALERT FOR FURY OF MAGNUS** Apparently, Malcador isn't a Perpetual. Magnus killed him and would only be restored to life when Alivia Sureka sacrificed her perpetuality and life to resurrect him.

@@patrickmcginty3234 Mordred, mate.

Lokens chainsword had the plot armour characteristic profile on it's stat sheet.

@@themagickgoblin840 ahh the famous 1+ save

A smart anime character once said that doubt dulls even the best blade. Garro didn’t want to kill his friend, but no such doubt existed when fighting a heretic, even if he was in Terminator Armour.

To be fair Loken's chainsword penetrate Abaddon's terminator armor... so it's pretty formidable too.

That was my first thought too. hah

Or bloody Trayzn the Infinite. I'm sure that his vaults could be worth a check. I swear the entire damn galaxy is going to end up suspiciously missing with him around.

But that means whoever collected it was worthy to weild it and didn't realise. So either Trayzn or some random magpie neophyte is the next savior of the imperium.

Now hold up. I did forget Trazyn, this is also true and viable, but I am most definitely not on board with either he or a magpie being worthy. hah

@@dobbers9921 Personally I think it would be deliciously ironic to have Trayzn be the savior of the imperium... by preserving it in a glass jar on his mantelpiece.

their name is ‘the sons of g- uh, I mean ‘arrow’’

Sounds like kind of stuff that "undercover" Emps would do to put his pawn in charge.

Bretonnia in a nutshell.

You got that quote wrong watch it again

@@connorbennett9062 it’s been like 4 years since I’ve seen the movie. You copy paste it for accuracy. It’s like a 3 minute long skit in the movie.

Everyone should go watch it because it’s a great skit.

Damn it's like 6:30am in the uk. You should be in bed!

You have the other half of the legend Baldy, when you talked about Guillamn and his table for his brothers. A round table. And what about Russ searching for that which will restore life? Is that not the grail? Which makes Russ=Percival

@@dimwitsixtytwelve starlord and Selene wanted to go out and Woke me instead of Mrs B today. Odd but true. :). Scritching of the headboard is hard to ignore. Lol.

Don't forget the slanneshi blade slapdatass

No, on second thoughts let’s not go to Terra, it is a silly place...

how many rolls did it take him to get Arthur?

@Iron Hands Terminator Euphrati Keeler Saber when?

Ate you talking Autoria from fate, who is the female version of King Arthur.

@@masterwellesley Yup, that's the idea

Thank you. I just wish more people noticed that too xD

Don't forget that Fulgrim had the Mona Lisa in his quarters.

@@robertnelson9599 That is a different kind of thing entirely, plus I'm fairly certain it's Malcador that has the Mona Lisa.

Right, as noted the biggest hole in the theory is that we don't actually have Excalibur. The two closest things we have are the type of blade that is stuck in the rock in France, and the type of blade used in the century of the supposed real life figure the myth is based off. GW can fix both of these very easily, especially if they go with the sword in the stone theory, with a couple paragraphs in a story somewhere. Something like, "the core is made from a sword found in a vault on Terra. That vault contained a mass of stone from the French mountains, and jammed in that stone was a rusted sword. It was this object that had set off the anomaly scanners of the psykers". Boom, we have Excalibur.

@@davideddy8557 that is boring to have a British sword in France. Just have it hidden by the government after the hundred years war. Boom fixed it in the most over the top manner.

I'd like to think it's still standing where Garro fell, that'd be cool.

Maybe titan?

@@rakelodakel honestly, the odds are that it is exactly where Garro had died, no one can pick it up except for someone truly worthy if the theories to be believed, so I'd assume it's sitting there

@@LukePaganoRotaryWall42087 Would be poetic. Just as with the ancient king before, Libertas still rests, embedded in stone, waiting for someone with a soul noble enough to wield it...

@@moriskurth628 question is, who is the more worthy man to claim the weapon from the stone? seeing as Lion is the biggest Alagory for King Arthur, i'd not be surprised if he were to awaken one day and utilize the blade of legend itself.

It was awarded to Siggy by Emperor himself because he was such a badass. He was also given the black armor then.

The Emperor might well have made it personally. Malcador had Khalid Hassan deliver it to Sigismund just before Sigismund and Rann entered the fight in the Palace after the wall breach. Wraight, Warhawk, page 85 of the ePub edition.

NO

Size wise Excalibur would be a mere knife next to a space marine. Sooooo NO it aint!

You're suggesting a mythical sword wielded by a mythical figure depicted in thousands of different shapes and sizes has a pre-determined size?... This being set in the same universe as other shape shifting blades...

@@jamesvalentine2845 i didnt know is shape shifting :)

@@xeniosaias nobody knows. Excalibur could be anything, short sword, arming sword, bastard sword, great sword. Heck it could even not be a sword. That's the great thing about mythology. There are no rules.

@@jamesvalentine2845 thinking of it.how about a product of the "dark" age of technology! nano tech advance material. Also possible! Definetely sounds better than being the excaliber!

No

The end of his story has not yet been written. We don't know what becomes of Sevatar either. ADB pump-faked us with The Emperor's Gift.

Well, Excalibur could be the core of the weapon, not just by itself. There are mentions of Astartes turning ancestral weapons into Power Weapons, most notably the Space Wolves. Libertas is basically Excalibur, just encased in more durable, futuristic materials. Alternatively, the Daemon Weapon Theory holds more water than you realize. Merlin, in the legends, was said to be a satanic Demon that found God's light and uses his magical powers for Good, and the Lady of the Lake is also a thing. A weapon, forged by a Warp Entity, could theoretically change in shape and size.

@@moriskurth628 Perhaps Arthur was actually the God-Emperor himself, and Malchidor was in reality, Merlin. It could be postulated that Mordred was a perpetual and only a weapon such as Caliburn or Excalibur could do him in, remember Arthur received a critical head wound from Mordred before he killed him. Arthur aka The God-Emperor placed himself into a healing coma to repair the physical damage but his memories may have been erased so he would not have had any memory of his time as Arthur or that Malchidor and Merlin were the same person.

Probably part of the God-Emperor's helmet or something by now.

@@cmelton6796 or in Malcador’s private museum.

Maybe it was made into that spear Russ shanked Horus with.

At least it isn't the dancing one from Soul Eater.

@@40KTheories That's SO much worse

@@40KTheories The Emperor Himself would refuse to wield such a weapon

@@40KTheories EXCALIBUR! EXCALIBUR! From the United Kingdom! I'm looking for Heaven! I'm going to California! Excalibur! Excalibur!

Can Garro be a Servant in Fate? Would he be a cute anime girl?

Cool!

Ah bloody hell piss off Cato! XD

Cypher.

I bet my life that, in universe arthurian legends are based on The Enperah past deeds

@@elcuartetodeeren6507 I think that is a very plausible theory as well. ;)

Well ‘probably’ is a stretch ngl

because it looks cooler that way? idk man

Mouths (and by extension teeth) are simply another evolutionary weapon.

Teeth are a weapon, look at lions or tigers. A better example would be spiders. They have fangs but don't eat their prey, they drink them.

@@40KTheories Then why do they have fully functional digestive and reproductive systems?

@@dracorex426 leftovers from evolution? Humans have tailbones (coccyx) and men have nipples so yeah

@Edmund the Spiffing Mmmmh, do you like VSauce, by any chance ?
