User blog:RemosPendragon/No 3rd Founding DA chapters

I must truly apologize this rule I've implemented on this site quite a while ago.

I think you remember a debate about that "No 3rd Founding chapters of Dark Angels' geneseed". Well, I have to say that I must've red it a bit incorrectly and maybe you want to interpret the part written in the Codex yourself. "There are many SM Foundings during this era, but the High Lords of Terra purposefully do not seek the gene-seed of the Dark Angels Chapter for any of them"

- c.M33 Missing Foundings

That is from the page 22 of "Codex: Dark Angels (6thE)". The problem here is, that as well as we can know these Foundings' dates, the M33 refers to 5th and 6th Founding, not 3rd. This is concluded of the facts that 7th Founding occured right before the Howling (401.M34) and 4th at the climax of the Beheading (546.M32). Herefore I think we can safely say that 5th and 6th Foundings are the ones this information from the 6th Edition codex talks about, and not the 3rd Founding as I previously (for some reason) believed.

I know this has caused the deletation of couple articles and quite amount of editing and I'm truly sorry about that.

I have now changed the canon policy to such that 5th and 6th Founding DA chapters are banned, but next time... I think this kind of stuff requires confirmation of at least two people.
