FUCK YEAH CIAPHAS CAIN -Agouri 03:23, 25 June 2009 (GMT+2)

I'd bet that despite the claim in this article people were coming up with special rules for him. Have any examples survived? Barrogh 18:47, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Stats!

From the guy who brought you the stats for Comissar Fuklaw - stats for Cain. Dalen (talk) 05:08, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

Salamander DT?

Perhaps he should have an additional special rule that if he does take a Salamander as a DT it has Transport capacity of 1, if Jurgen is also in the army it has a Transport capacity of 2. ~~The Accountless Avenger

Pronunciation?

Hey, I was wondering... How the fuck do you say Ciaphas?

Answer!

It's Kai-a-fass as said by Sandy Mitchel see http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Ciaphas_Cain for more info.

Jurgen's Melta

The point when Jurgen started usually carrying a melta (chronologically) occurred after he became Ciaphas Cain's aide. Also even after the point where he started to carry a Melta around, there have been circumstances where he didn't because it wouldn't be right to do so (for example towards the end of Cain's Last Stand). As such I propose making the Melta an option in the stats. Because I don't play 40k, I would like someone else to do it.--Emerald Claw (talk) 19:50, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Cain's pistol

Has anyone else noticed that Cain uses a las pistol but on every cover of his books (at least the covers I've seen) he has a bolt pistol? Tyranid Memestealer (talk) 19:54, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

We don't know for certain but it's often considered to be a joke regarding Cain's reputation. Heavily muscled, standing atop piles of defeated enemies, it's how the Imperium views Cain. --Super12345 (talk) 02:33, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Yes, I believe I read somewhere that the covers of the books are also the posters for the movies about him in universe. I am most likely wrong though.

In the 2nd omnibus they talk about how he has these posters made, one time he posed with a bolt pistol I belive and it stuck. He never kept the bolt pistol but they represent the posters In universe of him.

Vs Necrons

I was wondering if he should have some special interaction against necrons in his stats, considering how much he is scared of them. Against most adversaries, Cain can conceal his fear from his comrades. Against necrons, some of that fear gets through. So maybe a small morale penalty for his unit or something. --Emerald Claw (talk) 11:12, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

And/Or maybe a bonus to movement when moving away from a necron model.--Emerald Claw (talk) 08:40, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Who has the new book?

Probably worth editing in some of the new stuff from the new novel. Just wanted to know if anyone else has it? If not, I'll do it myself once I'm finished with re-reading the series before diving into Choose your enemies. Crazy Cryptek (talk) 22:06, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
