Editing Mentors (section)

==The Retconning==
{{MattWard}}
In Codex Space Marines of 5th Edition, the Mentors are mentioned as a secretive chapter that prefers to work alone. This goes against their very name, as they were named because they are taught by the Space Marines they assist and in turn teach the [[Imperial Guard]] they serve with. Goddamnit Ward, you've ruined their entire gimmick. Or maybe they just keep secrets because rational thinking is apparently heretical.

This has been explained as Mentors fighting ''separate from other Mentors.'' (which actually kinda works with the aforementioned MACVSOG shtick, since MACVSOG teams in Vietnam at times operated in very small numbers for nearly-independent recon missions with their only support being aircraft extraction on standby), given they spend actually a lot of time with others, especially squads of trained and augmented Chapter Thralls who they lead into combat.
