	The biggest shift is how weapon skill works along with his Legion trait; as a member of the [[Deathwing]] he gets a +1 to hit in melee with '''The Blade'''.

	*''Eternal Warrior'' is now the sole province of Primarchs and [[Sigismund]] this edition. Literally no-one else has it. Corswain was never beating those guys anyway, but this means that everyone else has to be wary of him.		*''Eternal Warrior'' is now the sole province of Primarchs and [[Sigismund]] this edition.

	Corswain was born on [[Caliban]] and inducted into the Dark Angels when the 1st legion arrived. Quite uniquely (at least to begin with) Corswain was not a member of the knightly Order, "the Order", [[Lion El'Jonson]] had joined when he had landed on Caliban. He was therefore tasked (and also groomed by the lion) to bridge the differences between the Terran born and Calabanite Astartes as he would have had a more neutral upbringing than members of the Order, to help the legion merge together in a more cohesive fashion. As Corswain rose up the ranks of the legion, he dedicated his time to [[Weeaboo\|"studying the blade"]] and because of his skill joined the ranks of the Paladins of the 9th Order, and would become part of the Lions body guard.

	When the Heresy was revealed, the Dark Angels were balls deep in a war against a Xeno species and it would take them months to disengage the enemy to join the war effort. Knowing Horus had supplies and Ordinatii war-machines at a nearby forgeworld the Lion took Corswain and a small elite group of the Dark Angels to secure and deny Horus access to them. Corswain fought in the battle against the [[Sons of Horus]] and the traitor Mechanicum legion which saw the Dark Angels see off the Sons of Horus and claim the Ordinatii for themselves (which the Lion then promptly gave to [[Perturabo]], [[Fail\|thinking he was loyal.]] Oops). Corswain then accompanied the Lion and the now combat ready 1st legion, to the Thramas sector to fight the [[Night Lords]] and saw first hand the fucking spectacle that turned out to be. During the campaign a truce was called and a meeting between the Lion and Curze took place, but peace talks quickly broke down and both legions started killing each other again. [[Konrad Curze]] was able to get the better of the Lion and was beating him into the dirt, until Corswain [[Awesome\|dived in from left field, rammed his sword through ~~Cruzes~~ back, and started chocking out the Primarch by wrapping a chain round his neck]], royally fucking up Curze and forcing the Night Lords to retreat with their incapacitated Primarch, while the Dark Angels dragged away the Lion.

	After this scuffle the Lion realised he needed a sure fire way to kill or incapacitate Curze so he swung round to go and retrieve the [[Tuchulcha]] and push away the [[Death Guard]] that were also trying to claim it. After using the Tuchulcha to ambush the Night Lords and comatose Curze, the Lion seemed to realise that there was more happening than what was going on around him and gave command of half of the remaining legion to Corswain and ordered him to seek out and destroy [[Typhus\|Typhon]], and his part of the [[Death Guard]], while the Lion took the Tuchulcha and disappeared into the [[Ruinstorm]] and into Ultramar. Corswain would then lead his half of the legion in a campaign of annihilation against the traitor Legions, while taking significant casualties in return.

	Corswain wouldn't properly resurface again until The [[Siege of Terra]], when suddenly he, and part of the Dark Angels legion, came screeching into the Sol system and hailed the Loyalist fleet that had been forced to retreat to Saturn, saying that they were here to reinforce Terra. The loyalists were very happy about the reinforcements and the armada ordered Corswain to fall in with them and to be ready to help evacuate the Emperor if the time called for it, however Corswain didn't think that hiding in Saturn's rings was manly enough and so came up with his own plan. Going to the [[Phalanx]] Corswain told the fleet that he planned to land on Terra and relight the [[Astronomicon]] so that the other legions and fleets could make it back to Terra. This plan was met with a resounding "are you mental?" by the other commanders, but Corswain pointed out that he had arrived at Terra by chance and that unless they relit the Astronomicon no other reinforcements would be likely to arrive in time. Realising he had a point the Armada agreed to his plan and sent the [[Gloriana-class Battleship\|Imperator Somnium]], one of the Emperors flagship from the [[Great Crusade]], to aid him as it had the technology to hide the Dark Angels and the fire power to punch a hole through part of the traitor fleet. The Imperator Somnium was cleared of all personnel except for the servitors and 3 [[Custodes]] and it, along with the Dark Angels ships, ripped a hole in the ~~tratiors~~ line and allowed the Dark Angels to ~~entact~~ [[Steel Rain\|"Teh Shteel Rhein Prohtekwal"]] on the Hollow mountain while the Imperator Somnium fought to its death above them.

	*If he does get into a challenge, he also has the ''Duelist's Edge (2)'' rule, which bumps his initiative up by two points to seven.

	Other useful notes is that he gained a point if Ballistic Skill, just because. Also, the Deathwing Rite of War no longer sucks balls and causes an auto-lose. On top of the other bonuses and FoC chart changes, Corswain can gain +1 attack while being within 12" of an objective. Which is tasty.

	He no longer requires to get through into a challenge to inflict Instant Death, though the blade inflicts ''Murderous Strike'' on a wound roll of 4+, so it's not happening all of the time, but can be useful considering now that most elite squads are made up of two wound models, so he is able to wade in and start taking out squads of dudes on his own.

	*The other interesting thing about the Dark Angels legion trait is that although it doesn't stack with other variations of itself, if he is in a unit with a different variation; say [[Firewing]], then he can choose to use that one instead.

	Corswain was born on [[Caliban]] and inducted into the Dark Angels when the 1st legion arrived. Quite uniquely (at least to begin with) Corswain was not a member of the knightly Order, "the Order", [[Lion El'Jonson]] had joined when he had landed on Caliban. He was therefore tasked (and also groomed by the lion) to bridge the differences between the Terran born and Calabanite Astartes as he would have had a more neutral upbringing than members of the Order, to help the legion merge together in a more cohesive fashion. As Corswain rose up the ranks of the legion, he dedicated his time to [[Weeaboo\|"studying the blade"]] and because of his skill joined the ranks of the Paladins of the 9th Order, and would become part of the Lions body guard.

	When the Heresy was revealed, the Dark Angels were balls deep in a war against a Xeno species and it would take them months to disengage the enemy to join the war effort. Knowing Horus had supplies and Ordinatii war-machines at a nearby forgeworld the Lion took Corswain and a small elite group of the Dark Angels to secure and deny Horus access to them. Corswain fought in the battle against the [[Sons of Horus]] and the traitor Mechanicum legion which saw the Dark Angels see off the Sons of Horus and claim the Ordinatii for themselves (which the Lion then promptly gave to [[Perturabo]], [[Fail\|thinking he was loyal.]] Oops). Corswain then accompanied the Lion and the now combat ready 1st legion, to the Thramas sector to fight the [[Night Lords]] and saw first hand the fucking spectacle that turned out to be. During the campaign a truce was called and a meeting between the Lion and Curze took place, but peace talks quickly broke down and both legions started killing each other again. [[Konrad Curze]] was able to get the better of the Lion and was beating him into the dirt, until Corswain [[Awesome\|dived in from left field, rammed his sword through ~~Cruzes~~ back, and started chocking out the Primarch by wrapping a chain round his neck]], royally fucking up Curze and forcing the Night Lords to retreat with their incapacitated Primarch, while the Dark Angels dragged away the Lion.

	After this scuffle the Lion realised he needed a sure fire way to kill or incapacitate Curze so he swung round to go and retrieve the [[Tuchulcha]] and push away the [[Death Guard]] that were also trying to claim it. After using the Tuchulcha to ambush the Night Lords and comatose Curze, the Lion seemed to realise that there was more happening than what was going on around him and gave command of half of the remaining legion to Corswain and ordered him to seek out and destroy [[Typhus\|Typhon]], and his part of the [[Death Guard]], while the Lion took the Tuchulcha and disappeared into the [[Ruinstorm]] and into Ultramar. Corswain would then lead his half of the legion in a campaign of annihilation against the traitor Legions, while taking significant casualties in return.

	===The Siege of Terra===		===The Siege of Terra===

	Corswain wouldn't properly resurface again until The [[Siege of Terra]], when suddenly he, and part of the Dark Angels legion, came screeching into the Sol system and hailed the Loyalist fleet that had been forced to retreat to Saturn, saying that they were here to reinforce Terra. The loyalists were very happy about the reinforcements and the armada ordered Corswain to fall in with them and to be ready to help evacuate the Emperor if the time called for it, however Corswain didn't think that hiding in Saturn's rings was manly enough and so came up with his own plan. Going to the [[Phalanx]] Corswain told the fleet that he planned to land on Terra and relight the [[Astronomicon]] so that the other legions and fleets could make it back to Terra. This plan was met with a resounding "are you mental?" by the other commanders, but Corswain pointed out that he had arrived at Terra by chance and that unless they relit the Astronomicon no other reinforcements would be likely to arrive in time. Realising he had a point the Armada agreed to his plan and sent the [[Gloriana-class Battleship\|Imperator Somnium]], one of the Emperors flagship from the [[Great Crusade]], to aid him as it had the technology to hide the Dark Angels and the fire power to punch a hole through part of the traitor fleet. The Imperator Somnium was cleared of all personnel except for the servitors and 3 [[Custodes]] and it, along with the Dark Angels ships, ripped a hole in the ~~tratiors~~ line and allowed the Dark Angels to ~~entact~~ [[Steel Rain\|"Teh Shteel Rhein Prohtekwal"]] on the Hollow mountain while the Imperator Somnium fought to its death above them.

	The Hollow mountain was defended by the [[Emperor's Children]], who were not expecting the First Legion to suddenly fall out of the sky on their heads. They proceeded to get fucked up by the Dark Angels and not even [[Vassukella]], Daemon Prince of the Ruinstorm, was able to stop them. After securing the Hollow Mountain, Corswain sent a message to [[Rogal Dorn]] that he had arrived, secured the Hollow Mountain and was currently figuring out a way to relight the Astronomicon. A Dark Angel under his command called Vassago suggested using the old lore of [[Caliban]] to do so, which seeing no better way Corswain agreed to. What Corswain didn't know was that Vassago was a member of, you guessed it, [[Fallen Angels\|the Fallen]] that had joined Corswain's forces when he had returned to Caliban to reinforce his part of the legion. Vassago had orders from [[Luther]] to make sure Caliban came out on top of the Heresy, and was initially instructed with killing Corswain but had decided against it after seeing the traitor forces and realised that they would most likely attack Caliban if they won. Vassago was then surrounded by other members of the Fallen and bitched at for not killing Corswain, and then confronted by a hooded figure (who's probably Cypher) and attacked.
