Editing Indrick Boreale (section)

==Steal Reign==
It is of course possible that we at /tg/, along with the narrator of Soulstorm himself and all of Boreale's foes, have been deceived by the cunning of the good captain. His strategy was not "Steel Rehn," the common and predictable edict of the [[Codex Astartes]]. Rather, capitalizing on the mastery of the Blood Ravens at the acquisition of all that stood before them, he implemented his own devious vision: "Steal Reign." Having built up his force with [[Bjorn|marines gifted by other chapters]] and by the unwilling forces of chaos, he had amassed a force that made the five companies officially under his command a mere distraction force to occupy the foe's attention as they assaulted the Lands of Solitude, while Boreale's mastery of deepstriking left the best thieves and looters, as well as himself, well behind enemy lines, where resistance was token, the loot and relics rich. But this was merely the beginning.

Though Gorgutz seemed to have stomped Boreale's men into the dust, Boreale had pulled off his own deception, deep striking into the Orks' rear lines with his few remaining men to find the nearest still operational space marine craft still in operational condition and "gift" itself back to them after "gifting" themselves ork disguises. But knowing that the shame of being defeated by the Orks would forever taint his name, Boreale used his fleet to add to his loot with every one of Gorgutz's victories.

As Gorgutz crushed the forces of Stubbs, Boreale made sure some of the smaller factories and the hundred wayward Baneblades fell into the hands of his growing Armada, trailing behind the ceaseless green tide to acquire everything he needed for his master plan. Even the relics of the Ecclesiarchy were not safe as the last remaining sisters found themselves stripped of all their possessions and remaining dignity as "gifts" for the chapter to enhance his baneblades.

As the forces of Chaos were vanquished, the shrines to Carron's box god were looted before Carron's headless corpse had even grown cold. Even the ruinous powers were not to be spared of Boreale's kleptomaniacal spree of thievery and underhanded deception. The Eldar of both varieties found their precious technology looted to engaged in tech-heresy most foul. The final piece of the puzzle were parts of the Necrons' power generation systems, all to provide energy for Boreale's new superweapon as his remaining marines "gifted" themselves to the Deathwatch to hide from the shame of their defeat.

Throughout the subsequent years of the Blood Ravens and the treachery of [[Azariah Kyras]], none even guessed at this plan, assuming that the failure of "Boreale" was all that it seemed. Only one man, [[Apollo Diomedes]], was cunning enough to piece together what had transpired, the final pieces falling into place as Kyras began the final steps to his ascension. It was not without reason that he feared the roar of each Baneblade he met, for he knew that they were the harbingers. Should subsector Aurelia have fallen, the hold of chaos would be momentary, wiped away by a more terrible foe whose hunger would not cease until every planet, every race, was unified, an undivided SPESS under Boreale's iron fist.

[[Katanas are Underpowered in d20|Now that seems a lot more representative of the strategic mastery of Indrick Boreale in Soulstorm, don't you think?]]

tl;dr = Boreale is actually a [[Creed|tactical genius]], see my new explanation.
