Obviously in the Horus Heresy we had entire companies turn to Chaos, but how often do individual or small numbers of loyalist space marines fall in the current timeline?

Is it something that just never happens?

Or is it something that some Chapters must be ever vigilant for, like how Blood Angels always have to worry about the Black Rage.

I'm interested in examples after seeing some cool themed conversions of fallen Ultramarines etc.

Bonus question, any instances of Chaos Primaris?

It occurred to me that making a Tau themed GSC army would open up some really cool converison ideas, a few of which I outline below. Ive written examples of GSC units and how you could build and represent them with Tau models as a base.

Theres a fun nod to typically optimistic Tau diplomacy in the GSC codex, so we know such a xenos abomination is lore friendly, and with enough consistency in the conversions, it could be a playable tabletop army.

If I had infinite resources and time I would probably build it myself, but since Im busy working a cult already, I thought I would put the idea out there and see if anyone runs with it.

Disclaimers - my Tau lore is poor, but I like the look of

I was going to pick one up in the Starns Disciples kill team set but that seems to have vanished from the GW site.

Think they'll put him in a GSC Starter Set for xmas or maybe do a single model release? Surely he's not discontinued already.

From a bit of testing, looks like this happens when you try to move your character while you're still in the process of exiting from the crafting menu. Just wait until the menus have disappeared before you try to move and you should be good. It's a small thing, but it used to get me every time.
