Talassarian* Tempest Blade and mispellings

[Phaedros 22]

Just a small knit-pick, my Talassarian* Tempest Blade seems to have acquired an extra "l" -.-

Besides that, everything else seems to be spelt correctly, though Eager Recruit doesn't make any sense fluff-wise, SM Chapters have no Recruits, they have Aspirants (pre-Op) and Neophytes (post-Op/Scout), followed by Initiates (full Marine / aka Brother.)

If anyone else comes across a mispelling or such feel free to post, let's keep things consistent.

Also, Istvaan is Istvaan, like Kayvaan Shrike, I hate FW being dumb and changing it to Isstvan... but that's another battle for another day.

I see great irony in this post.

"Battle"? You mean "drop site massacre".

 

And I checked the "Horus Heresy- collected visions", and  "Horus Heresy book 1- betrayal" both GW sourcebooks and they definately call it Isstvan.  That's the downside of relying on wiki's for your info. (Lexicanum has both Istvaan and isstvan)

Pre-collected visions/HH sources named it Istvaan. I don't have my old rulebooks (3rd/4th) to cite from anymore unfortunately. -.-

And I missed the irony.

Edit:

Did some research and during the dark days of 3rd/4th Isstvan was changed to Istvaan in at least 3rd, and maybe 4th Ed. CSM which I would read and re-read, but Slaves to Darkness and Space Marine from '89 has it as Isstvan. -.-

I checked 2nd and 5th edition: both have it as "Istvaan".

But you are correct: Both Realm of chaos:StD and Space Marine have it as "Isstvan."

I guess GW went back to the old spelling?

 

Isstvan/ Istvaan: So much for consistency, even in GW books.

Well it is Chaos after all.

I always remembered it as Istvaan. But I just looked through a few of the HH books and every mention I saw has it as Isstvan.

Dude...You misspelled mispelling.

Oh, guess I did, I don't use autocorrect or spellcheck, and I posted this at nearly 1AM my time after a long day of work, so yeah, none of us are infallible. -.-

I don't think anyone is demanding infallibility, just that people complaining about spelling differences (it sounds like both are correct) should take the time to spell their complaint correctly. That's the irony.

It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a Talassarian Tempest Blade.

[Robin Graves 6,054]

Nice.

 

I have a tendency to say Tallahasian Tempest Blade.
