His job was to DESTROY defenses. The White Scars are a somewhat interesting legion in how independent they are, but I was disappointed by the Khan himself. Warmaster Horus led a relief effort, only to have his command ship similarly infiltrated, but a battle for its bridge ended the minute Horus and the invaders' leader got a good look at each other. Of the others there is little recorded, possibly as there were few occasions where the Primarchs gathered in numbers and fewer still where the Khagan was present. Warriors of both sides had already fallen, their bodies caked in the drifting dust, but the fighting continued around them, bitter and unyielding. Torghun did the same -- exhorting those about him into a typically dogged defence. Their capital ships were even slower, unable to take advantage of modified engines or the White Scars' almost preternaturally-skilled ship crews. The Vth Legion had been ordered to ignore all other claims on their fealty, in particular those of the Warmaster Horus, who had been declared Traitor to the Emperor along with any other Legion answering his summons. At the last, the campaign reached its climax where it had began -- at the mesa-top city where the three Primarchs had first encountered the xenos dominators. People automatically assumed that they were savages, and were no better than the barbarous warriors of Leman Russ that hailed from the Death World of Fenris. Most surrendered, but many resisted and were destroyed, utterly wiped from the face of the planet. In episode 17, Lord Inquisitor Torquemada Coteaz, a character from original canon and getting his own fanfilm The Lord Inquisitor, shows up for a moment before . Where other Legions might have met them head-on, the White Scars vanguard, mounted on Scimitar Pattern Jetbikes, outflanked and harried their foe, marking weak points in armour joints and power transfer cables as they raced to and fro across the battlefield. Though the loyalists were initially outmaneuvered at every turn, Guilliman eventually led a dangerous attack on the Alpha Legion's command center, where he allegedly struck down Alpharius in single combat. A command was given, issued from the Vox-grill of one of the commanders. Search. A few smaller vessels never made it to the muster, either destroyed by the Death Guard during the engagement or disappearing quietly, presumed unwilling to accept the rejection of their planned accord with the Traitors. What, if anything, happened to Omegon is still not known. The guy the other Primarchs met nearing the end of the Great Crusade was Omegon. With fighting across the galaxy reaching a fevered intensity, the forces of the Emperor could ill spare any Primarch for lengthy training in the etiquette of the Terran Court or the intricacies of Imperial history. Once Novator Achelieux had been found, he led the White Scars to the Catallus Warp rift, where hidden amongst its turbulent Warp eddies was a long, crystalline void station. Now it was mottled the colour of burned charcoal. The two walls of minor warships grappled in a bizarre half-embrace of limited ferocity. They maintained the integrity of the cordon, warding the routes to the nearest suitable Mandeville jump-points and keeping the White Scars corralled within the vicinity of Chondax. They surged back across the heaving terrain, lumbering away from the Psychneuein attacks as best they could, trying to reach the crumbling maw of the fissure that had swallowed their Primarch. Thus the Death Guard served in the Drune campaign only nominally under the Great Khan's leadership, Mortarion ensuring they remained apart from the other two Legions. Leading the way, Shiban and his warriors tore through the oncoming las-fire, jerking and ducking to avoid the beams, sweeping past a whole row of angled torpedo launchers and streaking towards the signalled port. For much of the Great Crusade they remained outsiders to most of their brethren, few among the other Primarchs sought the company of Jaghatai Khan and his sons, and Jaghatai did little to encourage them. Undeterred, the Khan opted to teleport to the surface. 3/13/2023. He ordered his Apothecaries to duplicate his implants and subject his legion to the same mental mutilation, and the World Eaters soon earned a reputation as an army of remorseless berserkers. The standard breakout response was a full-scale assault on the containment net, aiming to drive it back through a massed volume of concentrated ship-to-ship fire. The White Scars' deployment was now a single spearhead. He understood that the White Scars were trying to find their missing Primarch, but their efforts were futile. This was but the first part of the Khagan's strategy, for tradition alone would not suffice. The tenacity of the Death Guard was legendary, as was their ability to absorb punishment and just keep coming. The Magnus-apparition explained that it was glad that the Khan had come to see him -- they had always seen eye-to-eye. Either way, there would be room for others to rise to power over the galaxy to come. I know some pages are pretty cringe, but the Tactics pages are invaluable and one of the main sources some people (myself included) when trying to get ground-level summaries of game . Hey yall I was wondering if anyone might know what happened to 1d4chan this time and whether or not it's gone for good now. The grand gathering of Primarchs and commanders and Battleships and officials at the Triumph of Ullanor dispersed, setting course for a thousand destinations and making the Warp light up with the trails of their passage. He spent months torturing Vulcan physically and psychologically during the Heresy to break him down. Several White Scars Brotherhoods (companies) would often be seconded to fight alongside their cousins from the Luna Wolves. The Thousand Sons had hunted them, driving them into the wilds and far from the glittering spires. Through the rituals and traditions of the Chogorian hill tribes, they became the White Scars that day, their loyalty to the Khagan and each other secured by the trials of blood and pain they had undergone and the oaths they had sworn. The behemoth brought to bear an array of weaponry, from whipping, diamond-sharp tentacles to the unrelenting power of its utterly alien will -- 10 Stormseers lay dead upon the ground in as many seconds, their minds torn apart by the behemoth's battering ram of psionic domination. He explained that there was nothing inherently evil about a psyker. Furthermore, the White Scars' fleet Astropaths continued to interpret the astropathic messages they received in a contradictory manner. Khan took the head of the enemy tribe leader and mounted it on his tent. Shiban's elation at Jemulan's entrance had been short-lived. Mortarion proceeded to explain the reason for his recent arrival; he told Jaghatai that he had sought him out, for things had changed. Afterwards, Jaghatai came to believe that the outcome of the Council of Nikaea should have never been left in the Crimson King's hands. As the Noyan-Khan tried to explain the reasons for his actions the Khan roared in anger at his commander's treachery. His improvements in technology and efficiency reversed Chemos' decline so that it finally produced more than it consumed, allowing a renaissance of arts and culture. Turning to the dozens of White Scars around him there were khans, captains, senior ship-officers and mortal commanders -- just a few of those who had been persuaded and who were now working to free the Legion from the hand of tyranny in service to Horus. "The shadow hangs over this place. Magnus declared that they were his Thousand Sons, and went about instructing them in the ways of safely harnessing their powers, so that even his comparatively small Legion could achieve mighty victories during the Great Crusade. Suddenly, one of the creatures blasted apart, spinning into a thousand fragments that sailed high across the ruins. Treatments include medication, freezing, injections, lasers and surgery. No one could have accused him of being a sorcerer. Horus revealed his true intentions in the Isstvan system, first virus-bombing a rebelling planet and purging the loyalist elements from the legions he commanded, then setting a trap for the Imperial forces sent to bring him to justice. The White Scars believe the Khan is still alive somewhere within the Webway and will one day return to the Chapter in a time of great need. But instead he preached about knowledge and power and gave the impression that he was some kind of prophet. Fulgrim believed that his legion should embody the perfection of not just warfare but Imperial culture, and formed a strong friendship with both Ferrus Manus and Horus during the Great Crusade. When they slammed together again the impact was bone-jarring. Their cousins amongst the Space Wolves, the Rune Priests of Fenris, worked the same source for their elemental powers, though they would never openly admit it. During this time, Arvida had also begun to experience the mutational effects of his Legion's gene-curse, known as the "Flesh-Change.". Though Jaghatai, a statesman and empire-builder as much as a warrior, had hoped for a peaceful Compliance campaign, he was equally pleased to test his warriors against a worthy foe in honest battle. His feelings about Leman Russ had always been mixed -- respect for the warrior; exasperation at the boasts, the self-appointed exceptionalism. As the small landing party of warriors made their way deeper into the ruins of the city, they found themselves near the cult temples. They burned and blasted its towers, and hunted down every last inhabitant and put them to the sword. But the desperation in her eyes stopped him. Then suddenly, they all felt the static build-up of enormous power. Ever stranger creatures emerged among them: giant scarabs, towering mantids and Vespid-like beasts. More blows came in -- hard, heavy, earth-shaking blows. The reality was that the White Scars were always the last to know what was happening in the wider galaxy. When they failed to respect the policies and plans of others, it was because their own ways served them better, rarely did they make counter-accusations of their own, allowing the results they garnered to speak for the rightness of their actions. However, a rogue agent of the Navis Nobilite named Veil, who had accompanied the White Scars, was secretly tasked with the destruction of this archaic device, for it could spell the end of the Navis Nobilite if the technology was widely disseminated across the Imperium. Magnus understood, and looked at the Khan for a moment. They were also constantly being stalked and harangued by Traitor ships from a combined Traitor taskforce comprised of both the Death Guard and the Emperor's Children, led by Lord Commander Eidolon himself. Angron refused, and would have died alongside his comrades had the Emperor not taken him by force. Eventually the armies of Jaghatai came to the Palace of the Palatine, where the Primarch demanded the head of the Palatine on a spike. The Khan asked the Noyan-Khan what madness he had unleashed. Of all of his brothers, the Khagan found common cause with but a handful. Unlike the brutal sons of Angron or the wild wolves of Fenris, the White Scars did not lack in discipline, and though they wore the cloak of the savage, they were not the same wild killers as those more infamous of their kin. Coming to a decision, he quickly scooped her up in his arms and sprinted towards the teleportation mechanism as fast as he could. The gap between the fleets slowly closed. But, for all that, still he could not stir. While cleansing the alien Laer, Fulgrim recovered a sword from its Slaanesh-worshipping population that contained a greater daemon, which subtly began to corrupt him. Who would stand with him against the aether-weavers now? Jaghatai Khan fighting against a Keeper of Secrets during the Horus Heresy. Arvida acquiesced to their wishes, but requested that they wait for a short time until he had fully recovered from his last encounter with the vile Warp-entities. Who would have been there but was dismissed for trying to usurp Horus. They never demanded respect from anyone, and if the other Legions knew nothing of them, then that was their loss, because the White Scars knew about them. While he didn't get involved in Guilliman's Terran Crusade, the Era Indomitus has seen the Daemon Primarch become more active than he has been for millennia. Perhaps it had been too much to expect. Where it was strong or well-emplaced they harried the enemy where it was weak, leaving it vulnerable to the Legions that followed the trail of destruction they wrought. After years of bloodshed in the arena, Angron led his fellow slaves in a revolt, escaping to the mountains and throwing back repeated attempts to bring them to heel. He commanded that the Primarchs were to close their Legions' Librarius departments forthwith and not to indulge the undoubted psychic talents of those Legionaries who possessed the gift. It comprises but two parts, a cut and a name. A long cloak of dark green hung down from high-rimmed shoulder guards. In the aftermath of this monumental victory, the Great Khan watched with approval as Horus Lupercal, greatest of the Primarchs and most favoured son of the Emperor, took up his new office as Warmaster of all the Imperium's military forces. Also, this piece of lore was written before Alpharius was given a twin in the form of Omegon. Unfortunately, as Horus had yet to enact his rebellion and the warning involved Magnus bulldozing his way through every psychic ward protecting Terra from daemon invasion despite being ordered to not use sorcery at all, the Emperor understandably wasn't feeling very trusting of Magnus at the time. Those few records of the two often note this friendship between two otherwise isolated Primarchs. As the Thousand Son slowly regained his strength and precognitive powers, Yesugei repeatedly attempted to convince Arvida to become a member of the V Legion, since the Thousand Sons were now considered Excommunicate Traitoris by the Imperium. Who had been captured by Lion El'Jonson and jettisoned into space in a stasis coffin by Sanguinius. They were more like one-man fighters than Jetbikes, and an armour-sealed White Scars Legionary could use them for short bursts in the void just as other Legions used their Land Speeders for atmospheric work. The seeds planted by the lodge were set deep, and not all of their growths were capable of being removed. Jaghatai Khan directing his fleet from his flagship, the Swordstorm, during the Great Crusade. Everyone who ever trusted him got burned. Fulgrim soon recovered and embraced Chaos, and mortally wounded Rouboute Guilliman in the aftermath of the Horus Heresy before being driven into the Eye of Terror. The Great Khan fighting against Orks on Chondax. For it was his brother -- Mortarion, the Death Lord, Primarch of the Death Guard Legion. Perhaps some of the Primarchs would have balked at being ordered to hunt down the xenos -- it was not prestigious work -- but the Khan was happy enough. When he led the Great Crusade after the Emperor, he sincerely believed that Humanity only needed to embrace, Attempted. Each tribe the Talaskars conquered was absorbed into the larger Talaskar confederacy and Jaghatai made military service mandatory while splitting tribes up and merging them with others to remove and ameliorate tribal differences and long-standing blood feuds. They wanted to cause doubt, keeping the White Scars in the Chondax System to tie them up in questions, because they knew the veil was slowly lifting and that messages were only now getting through the aether of the Warp. In addition, the comparison added salt to the wound of the Vth Legion's entrenched estrangement from the Imperium, suggesting how little others took to understand the Chogorians. One thrust, one perfect thrust, angled precisely -- he had the strength for that.

The tension hung heavily, like a thunderhead about to break. This is what shaped him into a man of fierce honour, loyalty and ruthlessness. Within its edifice was an ancient and powerful device known as the Dark Glass, a relic archeotech device from the Age of Technology. Jaghatai Khan confronted him there, armour slick with the blood of the slain and coated in the ashes of his empire. But Mortarion did not move. The Swordstorm pulled up to the forefront of the Chisel formation, propelled by its monstrous, raging plasma engines and surrounded by a swarm of racing Escorts. The young Khan's first reaction was to shove her aside and get to the enemy. His prowess with the blade earns him their respect even as his waywardness causes them concern. Here, several thousand White Scars engaged the enclave's defenders, several hundred warriors clad in huge and ponderous battle-plate, studded with heavybore cannon and beam arrays, each more like a small tank than a normal warrior. The close relationship of the White Scars Primarch to these two brothers was matched, somewhat, by the relationships between their respective Legions. The spectres kept materialising, bursting into ghoulish life from all directions, spilling out of the air. Back on Ullanor, even at the height of triumph, he had not possessed quite the same heft. You will remain here and let others know of the price of pride, that we shall not have to sully our blades again.". As a result, pretty much nobody other than Magnus and Horus actually knew about his architectural skills. Russ offered to bring his brother back to Terra to stop this war. In truth, such a fate was a mercy for the people of Drune and for the Imperium, for one way or another, they could not have been allowed to live. The Great Khan, himself a builder of empires, was handed a destiny that saw him resigned to the role of servant and not master, bound to the ambitions of the Emperor. Only when Mortarion had been banished did Qin Xa come for him, removing his weapons and armour and escorting him to the confinement chambers. He betrayed the Emperor, then his best friend Ferrus Manus, tried to sacrifice Perturabo for daemonhood, abandoned Horus' war to do his own thing with the majority of his Legion, and even during the battle of Terra itself his forces ran around butchering random civilian targets rather than participate in the actual siege. This time, Horus did so. But, really, that's the normal common sense that should be applied in any large city. And so the war to deliver Drune from the yoke of alien domination began. The masses never learned about the Warp, and the vast majority did not even know of its existence. Khan's troops repelled several frenzied counterattacks from the Traitors, and began firing on Horus' unprotected dropships. First off, he is associated with the colour red.
