Firaeveus Carron

Carron upon seeing an armored division of Rhinos, Predator tanks, Land Raiders and a few Dreadnoughts

Lord Firaeveus Carron is a Chaos Lord that favored Khorne, featured in Dawn of War: Soulstorm where he led the Alpha Legion on Kaurava. Like most of the Chaos Lords featured in Dawn of War, he was imortalized by his awkward language and epic statement: METAL BAWKSES!. He says this particular line if he should ever attack the Blood Ravens' stronghold and when they start to send Rhino transports. The very sight of them sends Carron flying into a rage where he loudly rants about them. He also appears to suffer from a form of space asthma, considering he takes his time and gasps loudly whenever he starts getting angry while speaking.

Rhinos...

His epic line is as follows: Look Rhinos...RRRHHHIIIIIINNNNOOOEESSS! OUA ENEMIES HIDE IN MEHTAL BAWKSES, THE COWARDS! THE FEWLZ! WE - We should take away....their Mehtal BAWKSES.

Codex: Firaeveus Carron

Much like Boreale, GW decided to accept his plea to be a separate unit.

Pts:90|WS:5|BS:5|S:4|T:5|W:3|I:4|A:5|Ld:9|Sv: 3+

Wargear: See Codex: Chaos Space Marines

Preferred Enemy: Enemy vehicles and transports. In shooting or in assault phases, Carron will gain 3 extra attacks when attacking vehicles or transports, this includes walkers like Dreadnoughts and Defilers. Effect stacks with other wargear/abilities that increases number of attacks.

Special Rules

Default rules of Chaos Lords found on Codex: Chaos Space Marines also apply to Carron. In addition, none of his abilities can be used against Tyranid army vehicles since they aren't metal and non-metal based boxes do not infuriate Carron.

Unholy blessing of Khorne

Carron's hate for metal boxes has grown into a great rage that he loathes every second being inside transports and seeing one, and with the rage given to him by Khorne, this rage is turned into a potent weapon and aura. While he can enter Chaos Rhino transports and Land Raiders, if he does not disembark on the second turn he is inside the transport, the player must roll a 5+ to keep him inside, if the player rolls any lower the transport is destroyed and victory points gained from the transport are in effect. In addition, all vehicles within 10 inches of Carron, including allies automatically receive -2 WS, BS and T all to a minimum of 5.

We...we should take away....their mehtal bawkses

Use during assault phase, must be attached to a squad with at least 3 members in it. While Carron seethes with hate every time he sees metal boxes he also understands it would be more ironic to use the enemy's metal boxes against their own. When Carron assaults a transport or vehicle, he will instantly commandeer it if one manages to stun the vehicle crew or if the vehicle crew is already stunned. Unless the commandeered vehicle is destroyed in 2 turns, the player must roll a 6 to keep the vehicle, if one fails to do so the vehicle is destroyed by Carron and victory points are in-effect respectively. However due to Carron's uncontrollable hate, his retinue is killed along with the vehicle and are counted as casualties. Cannot be used against walkers like Dreadnoughts or Defilers.

MEHTAL BAWKSES!

Such is Carron's rage against metal boxes that even the machine spirits fear him. When in the map, all vehicles including allies receives -1 point to all their stats including armor points. In addition, if the player rolls a 6 during shooting or assault phase, Carron will instantly disable a random weapon from vehicles he hits. However if he rolls a 6 and attacks any vehicle that transports units(i.e, Rhinos, Land Raiders, Devilfish) he will instead destroy the unit instantly regardless of stats. All these effects can only occur once in each turn and any other future attacks made during said turn after triggering "MEHTAL BAWKSES!" will be normal.

The cowards! The fools!

Carron's utter hate for metal boxes is so great that if he is ever fired upon by any vehicle, he automatically passes the morale checks required. In addition if assaulting a walker that can retaliate in assaults, he seethes with so much rage that he's totally fearless and will automatically pass all morale checks. These effects also apply to any squad he is attached to

Independent Character

Firaeveus Carron is an independent character and follows all of the rules for characters in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.

Leader

Carron also wants to propagate his hate for metal boxes and can join any squad, expect fast attack squads and daemons.

Excerpts from the heretical logs of an unknown traitor Alpha Legion marine

Section #??: The fall of Lord Carron and his delve into eternal madness.

+++++

I am but an Aspiring Champion who wishes to serve his daemon masters at all things, I am but a humble follower to the true powers. I came through the warp storm along with 500 more of my brothers as additional reinforcements as our hold in the Peninsula of Iseult was slipping due to increasing raids from Dark Eldar raiders and the Imperial fools who were led by a fearsome and dreaded commander. Indeed we were loosing ground but we all knew that we must not retreat for it was for the glory of Chaos. *The rest of the records appears are too warped to be translated, however more recent records that took place are translatable*

Day 5 in my duty on this blasted system, the Imperial lackeys march forth on our positions, we have lost 2 of our monuments dedicated to Khorne. We've set up a defensive line at our stronghold and we only have but 3 Defilers, and 80 of our brothers left ,and 3 heavy bolter turrets defending our main base it would appear we will not be able to hold against the Imperial Baneblades but we shall stand our ground for Chaos. At first we urged Lord Carron to requisition some Predator Tanks to help us hold the base but refused as according to him he loathes metal boxes or something like that. Three more hours into the fight and the Imperial Guard already removed the tainted field that keeps us invincible and we know that it as only a matter of time before they march onwards on us. After but a few more hours the Imperial Guard has surrounded our positions and I'm leading the remnants of my brothers in combat, apparently I'm the only one keeping them from falling back as the artillery was battering us down. We were assigned to hold the western side of the base along with a Defiler which gave us hope a bit of comfort that we might live to fight another day. The Guardsmen pored forth along with a Leman Russ tank, two of the marines in my squad still had their missile launchers so we were able to keep the tank from running over our trenchline. The Baneblade that crushed our monuments was already moving in from the distance and if the foolish lackeys don't smash us, that killdozer will. From the frantic vox-caster transmissions I was hearing it would appear that we cannot hold our positions any longer and we will have to retreat back to the warp if we were ever to serve Chaos again.

Everything then went to shit when the southern line was breached and our stronghold was destroyed, the southern line was also where our Lord, Firaeveus Carron fought in. We immediately pulled back and attempted to aid our liege who was in peril with the damaged Defiler giving us cover. We waded through the ruins of our base when suddenly a baneblade was closing in with it's cannons blazing. A large group of Cultists charged the Baneblade screaming in their girly voices "CHAAAAARRRRGGGGEEE!", it wasn't too long before the Baneblade blasted them to oblivion where a spleen suddenly flew to my face and we were showered by the unrecognizable bits of Cultists. As hurried to assist our lord, we however were too late, the general leading the Imperial Guard challenged Lord Carron to a duel and he inevitably lost, really the guy was badass with his stern voice and uncompromising look. We overran him and he fell back, Lord Carron appears to still be alive but if he was not going to survive if we do not retreat to the warp, he lost his left arm and bleeding severely. We commandeered 2 Chaos Rhinos and the surviving sorcerer conjured a small portal for us to escape in. We loaded the wounded along with Lord Carron inside the Rhinos and the rest of us fell back to the warp. I was inside the Rhino as I drove the thing to the warp and I could have sworn I'm hearing Lord Carron muttering: "metal...boxes....cowards....".

A few years after the Kaurava defeat, Lord Carron was in a long term coma of sorts, he was lying in that altar in the Chaos Temple for ages now. After desecrating countless lands and felling numerous infidels, I'm now a Chaos Lord thank the Gods and I currently serve as the commander of my warband in Lord Carron's absence. I came to pay my respects to Lord Carron as he did mentor me on a few things that propelled me to where I am today back then. While placing a pike near his body that contained the head of some Space Marine Captain, a tending heretic priest came through the doors and a shared with me the news that should Lord Carron recover from his coma, he would be nearly useless as the wounds that General back in Kaurava struck a mighty blow that rendered the lower half of his body useless, even with bionic augments installed. A fallen techpriest who happened to stroll by overheard our conversation recommended that Lord Carron should be interred into the hull of a Chaos Dreadnought that a Chaos forgeworld recently restored to working condition. During that time I forgot about the only thing Lord Carron hates more than anything, even more than Slaaneshi cultists begging him to become his retinue: Metal boxes.

A week later, Lord Carron was interred into the Dreadnought, I've heard that only a few Marines ever stayed sane after being attached to one and I'm worried about Lord Carron's anger issues but....what can go wrong? I thought. It was a peculiar note that it was not like the other regular Dreadnoughts Chaos used, it was more like the Loyalist's variant complete with the boxy design and twin-CCWs with a storm bolter attached to one of the claws, which wasn't readily available to us as we preferred to mount the more superior autocannons. The fallen techpriest explained that this Dreadnought was a former Ultramarines Dreadnought that was disabled by an Iron Warriors havoc squad when a havoc shot the sarcophagus with a Krak Missile. For reasons only Chaos would know, the havoc's missile only penetrated the sarcophagus' armor plating enough that the explosion was only enough to kill the loyalist pup inside but not enough to seriously damage the equipment inside the sarcophagus needed to pilot the Dreadnought. The chassis was then bought by the Forge World in exchange for 2 Chaos Predators, and they thought that in a parody of the loyalists' "Holy Dreadnought", they kept most of the Dreadnought's design, save for the Imperial symbols that were replaced with Chaos stars, with the Sarcophagus' design learned more towards Khorne as it was prepared for Lord Carron.

Going back, I was there in that memorable moment when the Dreadnought finally moved by itself and Lord Carron speaking....or grunting for the first time in ages. It stood up and looked around, Lord Carron after a few seconds finally realized that he was inside a Dreadnought Sarcophagus....which was made out of metal...and shaped like a box. The tending Tech-priest attempted to communicate with Lord Carron but he was consumed with great hate and rage, he raised his dreadnought close combat weapons into the air and shouted: "MEHTAL BAWKSES!!!!!!" over and over again and he broke out of the machinery monitoring the Dreadnought's systems. Thank the Gods we haven't fitted him with ranged weaponry other than a storm-bolter because the depot would have been razed to the ground if we armed him with anything heavier. Lord Carron tore through half the fallen Tech-Priest's depot, destroyed several vehicles inside along with some unlucky tech-priests, and tore through the reinforced blast doors, this surprised everyone as those doors were designed to withstand virtually all types of damage known to man and xenos, even hits from power weapons or a seismic hammer.

The tech-priest again attempted to communicate to Lord Carron but he appears to be drowned in rage and insanity that he does not listen to reason and all we could hear from our vox-casters were the same "METAL BOXES!" as he stormed off. Lord Carron wandered in the wastes of the warp and was never seen again. However during a few of our raids on several planets, I did hear from a few cultists that a lone Chaos Dreadnought occasionally rampages through several systems when warp instabilities appeared and created rifts from the immaterium to the materium and during those attacks he would keep screaming repetitive and unrecognizable screams that sounded like "Mehtal bakses" or something. Could it be Lord Carron? Could it be another Dreadnought? I for one do not know.

Retribution

During the Chaos Campaign, the Honor Guard Dreadnought often screams about the tight METAL BOX! it is trapped inside. Possibly making the Write Faggotry above canon.
